Odes 7 — Rahlfs Septuagint

εὐλογητὸς εἶ κύριε ὁ θεὸς τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν καὶ αἰνετὸν καὶ δεδοξασμένον τὸ ὄνομά σου εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας

Blessed are you, Lord, the God of our fathers, and praiseworthy and glorified is your name unto the ages.

For you are righteous in all that you have done to us, and all your works are true, and your ways are straight, and all your judgments are true.

28

and judgments of truth you did according to all that you brought upon us and upon the holy city of our fathers, Jerusalem, because in truth and judgment you brought all these things because of our sins

29

ὅτι ἡμάρτομεν καὶ ἠνομήσαμεν ἀποστῆναι ἀπὸ σοῦ καὶ ἐξημάρτομεν ἐν πᾶσιν καὶ τῶν ἐντολῶν σου οὐκ ἠκούσαμεν

For we sinned and acted lawlessly by withdrawing from you, and we sinned exceedingly in all things, and we did not listen to your commandments.

30

οὐδὲ συνετηρήσαμεν οὐδὲ ἐποιήσαμεν καθὼς ἐνετείλω ἡμῖν ἵνα εὖ ἡμῖν γένηται

Neither have we kept, nor have we done as you commanded us, that it might go well with us

31

καὶ πάντα ὅσα ἐπήγαγες ἡμῖν καὶ πάντα ὅσα ἐποίησας ἡμῖν ἐν ἀληθινῇ κρίσει ἐποίησας

and all that you brought upon us and all that you did for us, you did in true judgment

32

καὶ παρέδωκας ἡμᾶς εἰς χεῖρας ἐχθρῶν ἀνόμων ἐχθίστων ἀποστατῶν καὶ βασιλεῖ ἀδίκῳ καὶ πονηροτάτῳ παρὰ πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν

and you gave us into the hands of lawless enemies, most hateful apostates, and to an unjust and most wicked king, beyond all the earth

33

καὶ νῦν οὐκ ἔστιν ἡμῖν ἀνοῖξαι τὸ στόμα αἰσχύνη καὶ ὄνειδος ἐγενήθη τοῖς δούλοις σου καὶ τοῖς σεβομένοις σε

And now it is not for us to open the mouth; shame and reproach have come to your servants and to those who fear you.

34

μὴ δὴ παραδῷς ἡμᾶς εἰς τέλος διὰ τὸ ὄνομά σου καὶ μὴ διασκεδάσῃς τὴν διαθήκην σου

Do not, then, give us over utterly for the sake of your name, and do not scatter your covenant.

35

And do not remove your mercy from us, for Abraham, the one loved by you, and for Isaac your servant, and Israel your holy one.

36

to whom you spoke to them, saying to multiply their seed as the stars of heaven and as the sand beside the seashore

37

ὅτι δέσποτα ἐσμικρύνθημεν παρὰ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη καί ἐσμεν ταπεινοὶ ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ σήμερον διὰ τὰς ἁμαρτίας ἡμῶν

For we have been made small, O Master, among all the nations, and we are lowly in all the earth today because of our sins

38

and there is not at this time ruler and prophet and leader, neither burnt offering nor sacrifice nor offering nor incense, nor a place to bear fruit before you and to find mercy

39

but in a broken soul and in a spirit of humiliation may we be received as in whole burnt offerings of rams and bulls and as in myriads of fat lambs

40

So let our sacrifice be done today before you, and to accomplish after you, because there is no shame for those who have put their trust in you

41

καὶ νῦν ἐξακολουθοῦμεν ἐν ὅλῃ καρδίᾳ καὶ φοβούμεθά σε καὶ ζητοῦμεν τὸ πρόσωπόν σου μὴ καταισχύνῃς ἡμᾶς

And now we follow in all heart, and we fear you and seek your face; do not put us to shame.

42

ἀλλὰ ποίησον μεθ᾿ ἡμῶν κατὰ τὴν ἐπιείκειάν σου καὶ κατὰ τὸ πλῆθος τοῦ ἐλέου σου

but do with us according to your gentleness and according to the multitude of your mercy

43

καὶ ἐξελοῦ ἡμᾶς κατὰ τὰ θαυμάσιά σου καὶ δὸς δόξαν τῷ ὀνόματί σου κύριε

And deliver us according to your wonders and give glory to your name, O Lord

44

And let all those who show evil things to your servants be put to shame, and let them be disgraced from every power and dominion, and let their strength be shattered.

45

καὶ γνώτωσαν ὅτι σὺ εἶ κύριος ὁ θεὸς μόνος καὶ ἔνδοξος ἐφ ᾿ ὅλην τὴν οἰκουμένην

and let them know that you are Lord God alone and glorious over the whole inhabited world
