Psalms 81 — 4 originals side by side

Versification differs between traditions. Columns are aligned by verse number; where a text has no such verse the cell is left blank rather than forced into line. Tap any word for a gloss.

⚠️ The Chinese and English alongside are the CUV and the WEB, both translated from the Masoretic Text; they follow a different textual tradition from the Greek and Latin shown here and will disagree in places.
ℹ️ Some verses here have no matching verse in the public-domain translations (the Psalm superscriptions are not numbered verses in the CUV or the WEB). Those verses were translated by this site with AI (Claude), not taken from the WEB.

ἀπέστησεν ἀπὸ ἄρσεων τὸν νῶτον αὐτοῦ αἱ χεῖρες αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ κοφίνῳ ἐδούλευσαν
Divertit ab oneribus dorsum ejus ; manus ejus in cophino servierunt.

81:11
וְלֹא־שָׁמַ֣ע עַמִּ֣י לְקוֹלִ֑י וְ֝יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל לֹא־אָ֥בָה לִֽי׃
καὶ οὐκ ἤκουσεν ὁ λαός μου τῆς φωνῆς μου καὶ Ισραηλ οὐ προσέσχεν μοι
Et non audivit populus meus vocem meam, et Israël non intendit mihi.

But my people didn’t listen to my voice. Israel desired none of me.
81:12
וָ֭אֲשַׁלְּחֵהוּ בִּשְׁרִיר֣וּת לִבָּ֑ם יֵ֝לְכ֗וּ בְּֽמוֹעֲצ֖וֹתֵיהֶֽם׃
καὶ ἐξαπέστειλα αὐτοὺς κατὰ τὰ ἐπιτηδεύματα τῶν καρδιῶν αὐτῶν πορεύσονται ἐν τοῖς ἐπιτηδεύμασιν αὐτῶν
Et dimisi eos secundum desideria cordis eorum ; ibunt in adinventionibus suis.
ወፈነውኩ ፡ ሎሙ ፡ በከመ ፡ ምግባሮሙ ፤ ወሖሩ ፡ በሕሊና ፡ ልቦመ ።
So I let them go after the stubbornness of their hearts, that they might walk in their own counsels.
81:13
ל֗וּ עַ֭מִּי שֹׁמֵ֣עַֽ לִ֑י יִ֝שְׂרָאֵ֗ל בִּדְרָכַ֥י יְהַלֵּֽכוּ׃
εἰ ὁ λαός μου ἤκουσέν μου Ισραηλ ταῖς ὁδοῖς μου εἰ ἐπορεύθη
Si populus meus audisset me, Israël si in viis meis ambulasset,
ሶበሰ ፡ ሰምዑኒ ፡ ሕዝብየ ፡ ቃልየ ፤ ወእስራኤልኒ ፡ ሶበ ፡ ሖሩ ፡ በፍኖትየ ።
Oh that my people would listen to me, that Israel would walk in my ways!
81:14
כִּ֭מְעַט אוֹיְבֵיהֶ֣ם אַכְנִ֑יעַ וְעַ֥ל צָ֝רֵיהֶ֗ם אָשִׁ֥יב יָדִֽי׃
ἐν τῷ μηδενὶ ἂν τοὺς ἐχθροὺς αὐτῶν ἐταπείνωσα καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς θλίβοντας αὐτοὺς ἐπέβαλον τὴν χεῖρά μου
pro nihilo forsitan inimicos eorum humiliassem, et super tribulantes eos misissem manum meam.
እምአኅሰርክዎሙ ፡ በኵሉ ፡ ለጸላእቶሙ ፤ ወእምወደይኩ ፡ እዴየ ፡ ዲበ ፡ እለ ፡ ይሣቅይዎሙ ።
I would soon subdue their enemies, and turn my hand against their adversaries.
81:15
מְשַׂנְאֵ֣י יְ֭הֹוָה יְכַחֲשׁוּ־ל֑וֹ וִיהִ֖י עִתָּ֣ם לְעוֹלָֽם׃
οἱ ἐχθροὶ κυρίου ἐψεύσαντο αὐτῷ καὶ ἔσται ὁ καιρὸς αὐτῶν εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα
Inimici Domini mentiti sunt ei, et erit tempus eorum in saecula.
ጸላእቱሰ ፡ ለእግዚአብሔር ፡ ሐሰውዎ ፤ ወይከውን ፡ ጊዜሆሙ ፡ እስከ ፡ ለዓለም ።
The haters of Yahweh would cringe before him, and their punishment would last forever.
81:16
וַֽ֭יַּאֲכִילֵהוּ מֵחֵ֣לֶב חִטָּ֑ה וּ֝מִצּ֗וּר דְּבַ֣שׁ אַשְׂבִּיעֶֽךָ׃ {פ}
καὶ ἐψώμισεν αὐτοὺς ἐκ στέατος πυροῦ καὶ ἐκ πέτρας μέλι ἐχόρτασεν αὐτούς
Et cibavit eos ex adipe frumenti, et de petra melle saturavit eos.
ወሴሰዮሙ ፡ ሥብሐ ፡ ስርናይ ፤ ወአጽገቦሙ ፡ መዓረ ፡ እምኰኵሕ ።
But he would have also fed them with the finest of the wheat. I will satisfy you with honey out of the rock.”
