[Alleluia.] Give thanks to the Lord, and call upon his name; declare his works among the heathen.

᾿Αλληλούϊα. - ΕΞΟΜΟΛΟΓΕΙΣΘΕ τῷ Κυρίῳ καὶ ἐπικαλεῖσθε τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ, ἀπαγγείλατε ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσι τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ·

(А҆ллилꙋ́їа.)И҆сповѣ́дайтесѧ гдⷭ҇еви и҆ призыва́йте и҆́мѧ є҆гѡ̀, возвѣсти́те во ꙗ҆зы́цѣхъ дѣла̀ є҆гѡ̀:

2

Sing to him, yea, sing praises to him: tell forth all his wonderful works.

ᾄσατε αὐτῷ καὶ ψάλατε αὐτῷ, διηγήσασθε πάντα τὰ θαυμάσια αὐτοῦ.

воспо́йте є҆мꙋ̀ и҆ по́йте є҆мꙋ̀, повѣ́дите всѧ̑ чꙋдеса̀ є҆гѡ̀.

3

Glory in his holy name: let the heart of them that seek the Lord rejoice.

ἐπαινεῖσθε ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι τῷ ἁγίῳ αὐτοῦ. εὐφρανθήτω καρδία ζητούντων τὸν Κύριον·

Хвали́тесѧ ѡ҆ и҆́мени ст҃ѣ́мъ є҆гѡ̀: да возвесели́тсѧ се́рдце и҆́щꙋщихъ гдⷭ҇а:

4

Seek ye the Lord, and be strengthened; seek his face continually.

ζητήσατε τὸν Κύριον καὶ κραταιώθητε, ζητήσατε τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ διαπαντός.

взыщи́те гдⷭ҇а и҆ ᲂу҆тверди́тесѧ, взыщи́те лица̀ є҆гѡ̀ вы́нꙋ.

5

Remember his wonderful works that he has done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;

μνήσθητε τῶν θαυμασίων αὐτοῦ, ὧν ἐποίησε, τὰ τέρατα αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ κρίματα τοῦ στόματος αὐτοῦ,

Помѧни́те чꙋдеса̀ є҆гѡ̀, ꙗ҆̀же сотворѝ, чꙋдеса̀ є҆гѡ̀ и҆ сꙋдьбы̑ ᲂу҆́стъ є҆гѡ̀,

6

[ye] seed of Abraam, his servants, [ye] children of Jacob, his chosen ones.

σπέρμα ῾Αβραὰμ δοῦλοι αὐτοῦ, υἱοὶ ᾿Ιακὼβ ἐκλεκτοὶ αὐτοῦ.

сѣ́мѧ а҆враа́мле рабѝ є҆гѡ̀, сы́нове і҆а̑кѡвли и҆збра́ннїи є҆гѡ̀.

7

He is the Lord our God; his judgments are in all the earth.

αὐτὸς Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν, ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ τὰ κρίματα αὐτοῦ.

То́й гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ на́шъ: по все́й землѝ сꙋдьбы̑ є҆гѡ̀.

8

He has remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded for a thousand generations:

ἐμνήσθη εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα διαθήκης αὐτοῦ, λόγου, οὗ ἐνετείλατο εἰς χιλίας γενεάς,

Помѧнꙋ̀ въ вѣ́къ завѣ́тъ сво́й, сло́во, є҆́же заповѣ́да въ ты́сѧщы родѡ́въ,

9

which he established as a covenant to Abraam, and [he remembered] his oath to Isaac.

ὃν διέθετο τῷ ῾Αβραάμ, καὶ τοῦ ὅρκου αὐτοῦ τῷ ᾿Ισαὰκ

є҆́же завѣща̀ а҆враа́мꙋ, и҆ клѧ́твꙋ свою̀ і҆саа́кꙋ:

10

And he established it to Jacob for an ordinance, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant;

καὶ ἔστησεν αὐτὸν τῷ ᾿Ιακὼβ εἰς πρόσταγμα καὶ τῷ ᾿Ισραὴλ εἰς διαθήκην αἰώνιον

и҆ поста́ви ю҆̀ і҆а́кѡвꙋ въ повелѣ́нїе и҆ і҆и҃лю въ завѣ́тъ вѣ́ченъ,

11

saying To thee will I give the land of Chanaan, the line of your inheritance:

λέγων· σοὶ δώσω τὴν γῆν Χαναὰν σχοίνισμα κληρονομίας ὑμῶν.

гл҃ѧ: тебѣ̀ да́мъ зе́млю ханаа́ню, ᲂу҆́же достоѧ́нїѧ ва́шегѡ.

12

when they were few in number, very few, and sojourners in it.

ἐν τῷ εἶναι αὐτοὺς ἀριθμῷ βραχεῖς, ὀλιγοστοὺς καὶ παροίκους ἐν αὐτῇ

Внегда̀ бы́ти и҆̀мъ ма̑лымъ число́мъ, малѣ́йшымъ и҆ прише́льцємъ въ не́й,

13

And they went from nation to nation, and from [one] kingdom to another people.

καὶ διῆλθον ἐξ ἔθνους εἰς ἔθνος, καὶ ἐκ βασιλείας εἰς λαὸν ἕτερον.

и҆ преидо́ша ѿ ꙗ҆зы́ка въ ꙗ҆зы́къ и҆ ѿ ца́рствїѧ въ лю́ди и҆́ны:

14

He suffered no man to wrong them; and he rebuked kings for their sakes:

οὐκ ἀφῆκεν ἄνθρωπον ἀδικῆσαι αὐτοὺς καὶ ἤλεγξεν ὑπὲρ αὐτῶν βασιλεῖς·

не ѡ҆ста́ви человѣ́ка ѡ҆би́дѣти и҆̀хъ и҆ ѡ҆бличѝ ѡ҆ ни́хъ цари̑:

15

[saying], Touch not my anointed ones; and do my prophets no harm.

μὴ ἅπτεσθε τῶν χριστῶν μου καὶ ἐν τοῖς προφήταις μου μὴ πονηρεύεσθε.

не прикаса́йтесѧ пома̑заннымъ мои̑мъ, и҆ во прⷪ҇ро́цѣхъ мои́хъ не лꙋка́внꙋйте.

16

Moreover he called for a famine upon the land; he broke the whole support of bread.

καὶ ἐκάλεσε λιμὸν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν, πᾶν στήριγμα ἄρτου συνέτριψεν·

И҆ призва̀ гла́дъ на зе́млю: всѧ́ко ᲂу҆твержде́нїе хлѣ́бное сотры̀.

17

He sent a man before them; Joseph was sold for a slave.

ἀπέστειλεν ἔμπροσθεν αὐτῶν ἄνθρωπον, εἰς δοῦλον ἐπράθη ᾿Ιωσήφ.

Посла̀ пред̾ ни́ми человѣ́ка: въ раба̀ про́данъ бы́сть і҆ѡ́сифъ.

18

They hurt his feet with fetters; his soul passed into iron,

ἐταπείνωσαν ἐν πέδαις τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ, σίδηρον διῆλθεν ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ

Смири́ша во ѡ҆ко́вахъ но́зѣ є҆гѡ̀, желѣ́зо про́йде дꙋша̀ є҆гѡ̀,

19

until the time that his cause came on; the word of the Lord tried him as fire.

μέχρι τοῦ ἐλθεῖν τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ, τὸ λόγιον τοῦ Κυρίου ἐπύρωσεν αὐτόν.

до́ндеже прїи́де сло́во є҆гѡ̀: сло́во гдⷭ҇не разжжѐ є҆го̀.

20

The king sent and loosed him; [even] the prince of the people, and let him go free.

ἀπέστειλε βασιλεὺς καὶ ἔλυσεν αὐτόν, ἄρχων λαοῦ, καὶ ἀφῆκεν αὐτόν.

Посла̀ ца́рь и҆ разрѣшѝ є҆го̀: кнѧ́зь люді́й, и҆ ѡ҆ста́ви {ѿпꙋстѝ} є҆го̀.

21

He made him Lord over his house, and ruler of all his substance;

κατέστησεν αὐτὸν κύριον τοῦ οἴκου αὐτοῦ καὶ ἄρχοντα πάσης τῆς κτήσεως αὐτοῦ

Поста́ви є҆го̀ господи́на до́мꙋ своемꙋ̀ и҆ кнѧ́зѧ всемꙋ̀ стѧжа́нїю своемꙋ̀,

22

to chastise his rulers at his pleasure, and to teach his elders wisdom.

τοῦ παιδεῦσαι τοὺς ἄρχοντας αὐτοῦ ὡς ἑαυτὸν καὶ τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους αὐτοῦ σοφίσαι.

наказа́ти кнѧ̑зи є҆гѡ̀ ꙗ҆́кѡ себѐ и҆ ста́рцы є҆гѡ̀ ᲂу҆мꙋдри́ти.

23

Israel also came into Egypt, and Jacob sojourned in the land of Cham.

καὶ εἰσῆλθεν ᾿Ισραὴλ εἰς Αἴγυπτον, καὶ ᾿Ιακὼβ παρῴκησεν ἐν γῇ Χάμ.

И҆ вни́де і҆и҃ль во є҆гѵ́петъ, и҆ і҆а́кѡвъ прише́льствова въ зе́млю ха́мовꙋ.

24

And he increased his people greatly, and made them stronger than their enemies.

καὶ ηὔξησε τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ σφόδρα καὶ ἐκραταίωσεν αὐτὸν ὑπὲρ τοὺς ἐχθροὺς αὐτοῦ.

И҆ возрастѝ лю́ди своѧ̑ ѕѣлѡ̀ и҆ ᲂу҆крѣпѝ ѧ҆̀ па́че врагѡ́въ и҆́хъ.

25

And he turned their heart to hate his people, to deal craftily with his servants.

μετέστρεψε τὴν καρδίαν αὐτοῦ τοῦ μισῆσαι τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ, τοῦ δολιοῦσθαι ἐν τοῖς δούλοις αὐτοῦ.

Превратѝ се́рдце и҆́хъ возненави́дѣти лю́ди є҆гѡ̀, ле́сть сотвори́ти въ рабѣ́хъ є҆гѡ̀.

26

He sent forth Moses his servant, [and] Aaron whom he had chosen.

ἐξαπέστειλε Μωϋσῆν τὸν δοῦλον αὐτοῦ, ᾿Ααρών, ὃν ἐξελέξατο ἑαυτῷ.

Посла̀ мѡѷсе́а раба̀ своего̀, а҆арѡ́на, є҆го́же и҆збра̀ себѣ̀:

27

He established among them his signs, and [his] wonders in the land of Cham.

ἔθετο ἐν αὐτοῖς τοὺς λόγους τῶν σημείων αὐτοῦ καὶ τῶν τεράτων αὐτοῦ ἐν γῇ Χάμ.

положѝ въ ни́хъ словеса̀ зна́менїй свои́хъ и҆ чꙋде́съ свои́хъ въ землѝ ха́мовѣ.

28

He sent forth darkness, and made it dark; yet they rebelled against his words.

ἐξαπέστειλε σκότος καὶ ἐσκότασεν, ὅτι παρεπίκραναν τοὺς λόγους αὐτοῦ·

Посла̀ тьмꙋ̀ и҆ помрачѝ, ꙗ҆́кѡ преѡгорчи́ша словеса̀ є҆гѡ̀.

29

He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish.

μετέστρεψε τὰ ὕδατα αὐτῶν εἰς αἷμα, καὶ ἀπέκτεινε τοὺς ἰχθύας αὐτῶν.

Преложѝ во́ды и҆́хъ въ кро́вь и҆ и҆зморѝ ры̑бы и҆́хъ.

30

Their land produced frogs abundantly, in the chambers of their kings.

ἐξῆρψεν ἡ γῆ αὐτῶν βατράχους ἐν τοῖς ταμιείοις τῶν βασιλέων αὐτῶν.

Воскипѣ̀ землѧ̀ и҆́хъ жа́бами въ сокро́вищницахъ царе́й и҆́хъ.

31

He spoke, and the dog-fly came, and lice in all their coasts.

εἶπε, καὶ ἦλθε κυνόμυια καὶ σκνῖπες ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς ὁρίοις αὐτῶν.

Речѐ, и҆ прїидо́ша пє́сїѧ мꙋ̑хи и҆ скні̑пы во всѧ̑ предѣ́лы и҆́хъ.

32

He turned their rain into hail, [and sent] flaming fire in their land.

ἔθετο τὰς βροχὰς αὐτῶν χάλαζαν, πῦρ καταφλέγον ἐν τῇ γῇ αὐτῶν,

Положѝ дожди̑ и҆́хъ гра́ды, ѻ҆́гнь попалѧ́ющь въ землѝ и҆́хъ:

33

And he smote their vines and their fig trees; and broke every tree of their coast.

καὶ ἐπάταξε τὰς ἀμπέλους αὐτῶν καὶ τὰς συκᾶς αὐτῶν καὶ συνέτριψε πᾶν ξύλον ὁρίου αὐτῶν.

и҆ поразѝ вїногра́ды и҆́хъ и҆ смѡ́квы и҆́хъ, и҆ сотры̀ всѧ́кое дре́во предѣ̑лъ и҆́хъ.

34

He spoke, and the locust came, and caterpillars innumerable,

εἶπε καὶ ἦλθεν ἀκρίς, καὶ βροῦχος, οὗ οὐκ ἦν ἀριθμός,

Речѐ, и҆ прїидо́ша прꙋ́зи и҆ гꙋ́сєницы, и҆̀мже не бѣ̀ числа̀,

35

and devoured all the grass in their land, and devoured the fruit of the ground.

καὶ κατέφαγε πάντα τὸν χόρτον ἐν τῇ γῇ αὐτῶν, καὶ κατέφαγε τὸν καρπὸν τῆς γῆς αὐτῶν.

и҆ снѣдо́ша всѧ́кꙋ травꙋ̀ въ землѝ и҆́хъ, и҆ поѧдо́ша всѧ́къ пло́дъ землѝ и҆́хъ.

36

He smote also every first-born of their land, the first-fruits of all their labour.

καὶ ἐπάταξε πᾶν πρωτότοκον ἐν τῇ γῇ αὐτῶν, ἀπαρχὴν παντὸς πόνου αὐτῶν.

И҆ поразѝ всѧ́каго пе́рвенца въ землѝ и҆́хъ, нача́токъ всѧ́кагѡ трꙋда̀ и҆́хъ:

37

And he brought them out with silver and gold; and there was not a feeble one among their tribes.

καὶ ἐξήγαγεν αὐτοὺς ἐν ἀργυρίῳ καὶ χρυσίῳ, καὶ οὐκ ἦν ἐν ταῖς φυλαῖς αὐτῶν ὁ ἀσθενῶν.

и҆ и҆зведѐ ѧ҆̀ съ сребро́мъ и҆ зла́томъ: и҆ не бѣ̀ въ колѣ́нѣхъ и҆́хъ болѧ́й.

38

Egypt rejoiced at their departing; for the fear of them fell upon them.

εὐφράνθη Αἴγυπτος ἐν τῇ ἐξόδῳ αὐτῶν, ὅτι ἐπέπεσεν ὁ φόβος αὐτῶν ἐπ᾿ αὐτούς.

Возвесели́сѧ є҆гѵ́петъ во и҆схожде́нїи и҆́хъ: ꙗ҆́кѡ нападѐ стра́хъ и҆́хъ на нѧ̀.

39

He spread out a cloud for a covering to them, and fire to give them light by night.

διεπέτασε νεφέλην εἰς σκέπην αὐτοῖς καὶ πῦρ τοῦ φωτίσαι αὐτοῖς τὴν νύκτα.

Распрострѐ ѡ҆́блакъ въ покро́въ и҆̀мъ, и҆ ѻ҆́гнь, є҆́же просвѣти́ти и҆̀мъ но́щїю.

40

They asked, and the quail came, and he satisfied them with the bread of heaven.

ᾔτησαν, καὶ ἦλθεν ὀρτυγομήτρα, καὶ ἄρτον οὐρανοῦ ἐνέπλησεν αὐτούς·

Проси́ша, и҆ прїидо́ша кра́стєли, и҆ хлѣ́ба небе́снагѡ насы́ти ѧ҆̀:

41

He clave the rock, and the waters flowed, rivers ran in dry places.

διέρρηξε πέτραν, καὶ ἐρρύησαν ὕδατα, ἐπορεύθησαν ἐν ἀνύδροις ποταμοί.

разве́рзе ка́мень, и҆ потеко́ша во́ды, потеко́ша въ безво́дныхъ рѣ́ки:

42

For he remembered his holy word, which [he promised] to Abraam his servant.

ὅτι ἐμνήσθη τοῦ λόγου τοῦ ἁγίου αὐτοῦ τοῦ πρὸς ῾Αβραὰμ τὸν δοῦλον αὐτοῦ

ꙗ҆́кѡ помѧнꙋ̀ сло́во ст҃о́е своѐ, є҆́же ко а҆враа́мꙋ рабꙋ̀ своемꙋ̀.

43

And he brought out his people with exultation, and his chosen with joy;

καὶ ἐξήγαγε τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ ἐν ἀγαλλιάσει καὶ τοὺς ἐκλεκτοὺς αὐτοῦ ἐν εὐφροσύνῃ.

И҆ и҆зведѐ лю́ди своѧ̑ въ ра́дости и҆ и҆збра̑нныѧ своѧ̑ въ весе́лїи.

44

and gave them the lands of the heathen; and they inherited the labours of the people;

καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς χώρας ἐθνῶν, καὶ πόνους λαῶν κατεκληρονόμησαν,

И҆ дадѐ и҆̀мъ страны̑ ꙗ҆зы̑къ, и҆ трꙋды̀ люді́й наслѣ́доваша:

45

that they might keep his ordinances, and diligently seek his law.

ὅπως ἂν φυλάξωσι τὰ δικαιώματα αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὸν νόμον αὐτοῦ ἐκζητήσωσιν.

ꙗ҆́кѡ да сохранѧ́тъ ѡ҆правда̑нїѧ є҆гѡ̀ и҆ зако́на є҆гѡ̀ взы́щꙋтъ.
