1 Ἀπροσδεής,
ἀδελφοί,
ὁ
δεσπότης
ὑπάρχει
τῶν
ἁπάντων·
οὐδὲν
οὐδενὸς
χρῄζει
εἰ
μὴ
τὸ
ἐξομολογεῖσθαι
αὐτῷ.
|
The Master, brothers, has need of nothing at all. He doesn't require anything from anyone, except to confess to Him.

2 φησὶν
γὰρ
ὁ
ἐκλεκτὸς
Δαυίδ·
Ἐξομολογήσομαι
τῷ
κυρίῳ,
καὶ
ἀρέσει
αὐτῷ
ὑπέρ
μόσχον
νέον
κέρατα
ἐκφέροντα
καὶ
ὁπλάς·
ἰδέτωσαν
πτωχοὶ
καὶ
εὐφρανθήτωσαν.
|
For David the chosen says, "I will confess to the Lord and it will please Him more than a young calf that grew horns and hoofs. Let the poor see it and rejoice" (Ps. 69:30-32).

3 καὶ
πάλιν
λέγει·
Θῦσον
τῷ
θεῷ.
θυσίαν
αἰνέσεως
καὶ
ἀπόδος
τῷ
ὑψίστῳ
τὰς
εὐχάς
σου·
καὶ
ἐπικάλεσαί
με
ἐν
ἡμέρᾳ
θλίψεώς
σου,
καὶ
ἐξελοῦμαί
σε,
καὶ
δοξάσεις
με.

And again he says, "Sacrifice to God the sacrifice of praise, and pay your vows to the Most High. Call upon Me in the day of your trouble and I will deliver you, and you will glorify me.
|
|
4 θυσία
γὰρ
τῷ
θεῷ
πνεῦμα
συντετριμμένον.
|
For the sacrifice to God is a broken spirit.
