[1] But indignation without mercy came upon the ungodly to the end;
for God also foreknew their future,
[2] how, having changed their minds to let your people go,
and having sped them eagerly on their way,
they would change their minds and pursue them.
[3] For while they were yet in the midst of their mourning,
and lamenting at the graves of the dead,
they made another foolish decision,
and pursued as fugitives those whom they had begged to leave and driven out.
[4] For the doom which they deserved was drawing them to this end,
and it made them forget the things that had happened to them,
that they might fill up the punishment which was yet lacking from their torments,
[5] and that your people might journey on by a marvelous road,
but they themselves might find a strange death. [6] For the whole creation, each part in its diverse kind, was made new again,
complying with your commandments,
that your servants might be kept unharmed.
[7] Then the cloud that overshadowed the camp was seen,
and dry land rising up out of what had been water,
out of the Red sea an unhindered highway,
and a grassy plain out of the violent surge,
[8] by which they passed over with all their army,
these who were covered with your hand,
having seen strange marvels.
[9] For like horses they roamed at large,
and they skipped about like lambs,
praising you, O Lord, who was their deliverer.
[10] For they still remembered the things that happened in the time of their sojourning,
how instead of bearing cattle, the land brought forth lice,
and instead of fish, the river spewed out a multitude of frogs.
[11] But afterwards, they also saw a new kind of birds,
when, led on by desire, they asked for luxurious dainties;
[12] for, to comfort them, quails came up for them from the sea. [13] Punishments came upon the sinners,
not without the signs that were given beforehand by the violence of the thunder,
for they justly suffered through their own wickednesses,
for the hatred which they practiced toward guests was grievous indeed.
[14] For while the others didn’t receive the strangers when they came to them,
the Egyptians made slaves of guests who were their benefactors.
[15] And not only so, but while punishment of some sort will come upon the former,
since they received as enemies those who were aliens;
[16] because these first welcomed with feastings,
and then afflicted with dreadful toils,
those who had already shared with them in the same rights.
[17] And moreover they were stricken with loss of sight
(even as were those others at the righteous man’s doors),
when, being surrounded with yawning darkness,
they each looked for the passage through his own door. [18] For as the notes of a lute vary the character of the rhythm,
even so the elements, changing their order one with another,
continuing always in its sound,
as may clearly be conjectured from the sight of the things that have happened.
[19] For creatures of the dry land were turned into creatures of the waters,
and creatures that swim moved upon the land.
[20] Fire kept the mastery of its own power in water,
and water forgot its quenching nature.
[21] On the contrary, flames didn’t consume flesh of perishable creatures that walked among them,
neither did they melt the crystalline grains of ambrosial food that were melted easily. [22] For in all things, O Lord, you magnified your people,
and you glorified them and didn’t lightly regard them,
standing by their side in every time and place.

[1] Τοῖς G3588 δὲ G1161 ἀσεβέσιν G765 μέχρι G3360 τέλους G5056 ἀνελεήμων G415 θυμὸς G2372 ἐπέστη· G2186 προῄδει γὰρ G1063 αὐτῶν G846 καὶ G2532 τὰ G3588 μέλλοντα, G3195 [2] ὅτι G3754 αὐτοὶ G846 ἐπιτρέψαντες G2010 τοῦ G3588 ἀπιέναι G549 καὶ G2532 μετὰ G3326 σπουδῆς G4710 προπέμψαντες G4311 αὐτοὺς G846 διώξουσιν G1377 μεταμεληθέντες. G3338 [3] Ἔτι G2089 γὰρ G1063 ἐν G1722 χερσὶν G5495 ἔχοντες G2192 τὰ G3588 πένθη G3997 καὶ G2532 προσοδυρόμενοι τάφοις G5028 νεκρῶν G3498 ἕτερον G2087 ἐπεσπάσαντο G1986 λογισμὸν G3053 ἀνοίας G454 καὶ G2532 οὓς G3739 ἱκετεύοντες ἐξέβαλον, G1544 τούτους G5128 ὡς G5613 φυγάδας ἐδίωκον. G1377 [4] Εἷλκεν G1670 γὰρ G1063 αὐτοὺς G846 ἡ G3588 ἀξία G514 ἐπὶ G1909 τοῦτο G5124 τὸ G3588 πέρας G4009 ἀνάγκη G318 καὶ G2532 τῶν G3588 συμβεβηκότων G4819 ἀμνηστίαν ἐνέβαλεν, G1685 ἵνα G2443 τὴν G3588 λείπουσαν G3007 ταῖς G3588 βασάνοις G931 προσαναπληρώσωσιν G4322 κόλασιν, G2851 [5] καὶ G2532 ὁ G3588 μὲν G3303 λαός G2992 σου G4675 παράδοξον G3861 ὁδοιπορίαν G3597 πειράσῃ, G3985 ἐκεῖνοι G1565 δὲ G1161 ξένον G3581 εὕρωσι G2147 θάνατον. G2288 [6] Ὅλη G3650 γὰρ G1063 ἡ G3588 κτίσις G2937 ἐν G1722 ἰδίῳ G2398 γένει G1085 πάλιν G3825 ἄνωθεν G509 διετυποῦτο ὑπηρετοῦσα G5256 ταῖς G3588 σαῖς G4674 ἐπιταγαῖς, G2003 ἵνα G2443 οἱ G3588 σοὶ G4674 παῖδες G3816 φυλαχθῶσιν G5442 ἀβλαβεῖς. [7] Ἡ G3588 τὴν G3588 παρεμβολὴν G3925 σκιάζουσα νεφέλη, G3507 ἐκ G1537 δὲ G1161 προυφεστῶτος ὕδατος G5204 ξηρᾶς G3584 ἀνάδυσις γῆς G1093 ἐθεωρήθη, G2334 ἐξ G1537 ἐρυθρᾶς G2063 θαλάσσης G2281 ὁδὸς G3598 ἀνεμπόδιστος καὶ G2532 χλοηφόρον πεδίον ἐκ G1537 κλύδωνος G2830 βιαίου· G972 [8] δι’ G1223 οὗ G3739 πανεθνεὶ διῆλθον G1330 οἱ G3588 τῇ G3588 σῇ G4674 σκεπαζόμενοι χειρὶ G5495 θεωρήσαντες G2334 θαυμαστὰ G2298 τέρατα. G5059 [9] Ὡς G5613 γὰρ G1063 ἵπποι G2462 ἐνεμήθησαν καὶ G2532 ὡς G5613 ἀμνοὶ G286 διεσκίρτησαν αἰνοῦντές G134 σε, G4571 κύριε, G2962 τὸν G3588 ῥυσάμενον G4506 αὐτούς. G846 [10] Ἐμέμνηντο γὰρ G1063 ἔτι G2089 τῶν G3588 ἐν G1722 τῇ G3588 παροικίᾳ G3940 αὐτῶν, G846 πῶς G4459 ἀντὶ G473 μὲν G3303 γενέσεως G1078 ζῴων G2226 ἐξήγαγεν G1806 ἡ G3588 γῆ G1093 σκνῖπα, ἀντὶ G473 δὲ G1161 ἐνύδρων ἐξηρεύξατο ὁ G3588 ποταμὸς G4215 πλῆθος G4128 βατράχων. G944 [11] Ἐφ’ G1909 ὑστέρῳ G5306 δὲ G1161 εἶδον G1492 καὶ G2532 γένεσιν G1078 νέαν G3501 ὀρνέων, G3733 ὅτε G3753 ἐπιθυμίᾳ G1939 προαχθέντες G4254 ᾐτήσαντο G154 ἐδέσματα τρυφῆς· G5172 [12] εἰς G1519 γὰρ G1063 παραμυθίαν G3889 ἐκ G1537 θαλάσσης G2281 ἀνέβη G305 αὐτοῖς G846 ὀρτυγομήτρα. [13] Καὶ G2532 αἱ G3588 τιμωρίαι G5098 τοῖς G3588 ἁμαρτωλοῖς G268 ἐπῆλθον G1904 οὐκ G3756 ἄνευ G427 τῶν G3588 προγεγονότων G4266 τεκμηρίων G5039 τῇ G3588 βίᾳ G970 τῶν G3588 κεραυνῶν· δικαίως G1346 γὰρ G1063 ἔπασχον G3958 ταῖς G3588 ἰδίαις G2398 αὐτῶν G846 πονηρίαις, G4189 καὶ G2532 γὰρ G1063 χαλεπωτέραν G5467 μισοξενίαν ἐπετήδευσαν. [14] Οἱ G3588 μὲν G3303 γὰρ G1063 τοὺς G3588 ἀγνοοῦντας G50 οὐκ G3756 ἐδέχοντο G1209 παρόντας· G3918 οὗτοι G3778 δὲ G1161 εὐεργέτας G2110 ξένους G3581 ἐδουλοῦντο. G1402 [15] Καὶ G2532 οὐ G3756 μόνον, G3440 ἀλλ’ G235 ἤ G2228 τις G5100 ἐπισκοπὴ G1984 ἔσται G2071 αὐτῶν, G846 ἐπεὶ G1893 ἀπεχθῶς προσεδέχοντο G4327 τοὺς G3588 ἀλλοτρίους· G245 [16] οἱ G3588 δὲ G1161 μετὰ G3326 ἑορτασμάτων εἰσδεξάμενοι G1523 τοὺς G3588 ἤδη G2235 τῶν G3588 αὐτῶν G846 μετεσχηκότας G3348 δικαίων G1342 δεινοῖς ἐκάκωσαν G2559 πόνοις. G4192 [17] Ἐπλήγησαν G4141 δὲ G1161 καὶ G2532 ἀορασίᾳ ὥσπερ G5618 ἐκεῖνοι G1565 ἐπὶ G1909 ταῖς G3588 τοῦ G3588 δικαίου G1342 θύραις, G2374 ὅτε G3753 ἀχανεῖ περιβληθέντες G4016 σκότει G4655 ἕκαστος G1538 τῶν G3588 ἑαυτοῦ G1438 θυρῶν G2374 τὴν G3588 δίοδον ἐζήτει. G2212 [18] Δι’ G1223 ἑαυτῶν G1438 γὰρ G1063 τὰ G3588 στοιχεῖα G4747 μεθαρμοζόμενα, ὥσπερ G5618 ἐν G1722 ψαλτηρίῳ φθόγγοι G5353 τοῦ G3588 ῥυθμοῦ τὸ G3588 ὄνομα G3686 διαλλάσσουσιν, G1259 πάντοτε G3842 μένοντα G3306 ἤχῳ, G2279 ὅπερ G3746 ἐστὶν G2076 εἰκάσαι ἐκ G1537 τῆς G3588 τῶν G3588 γεγονότων G1096 ὄψεως G3799 ἀκριβῶς· G199 [19] χερσαῖα γὰρ G1063 εἰς G1519 ἔνυδρα μετεβάλλετο, G3328 καὶ G2532 νηκτὰ μετέβαινεν G3327 ἐπὶ G1909 γῆς· G1093 [20] πῦρ G4442 ἴσχυεν G2480 ἐν G1722 ὕδατι G5204 τῆς G3588 ἰδίας G2398 δυνάμεως, G1411 καὶ G2532 ὕδωρ G5204 τῆς G3588 σβεστικῆς φύσεως G5449 ἐπελανθάνετο· G1950 [21] φλόγες G5395 ἀνάπαλιν εὐφθάρτων ζῴων G2226 οὐκ G3756 ἐμάραναν G3133 σάρκας G4561 ἐμπεριπατούντων, G1704 οὐδὲ G3761 τηκτὸν κρυσταλλοειδὲς εὔτηκτον γένος G1085 ἀμβροσίας τροφῆς. G5160 [22] Κατὰ G2596 πάντα G3956 γάρ, G1063 κύριε, G2962 ἐμεγάλυνας G3170 τὸν G3588 λαόν G2992 σου G4675 καὶ G2532 ἐδόξασας G1392 καὶ G2532 οὐχ G3756 ὑπερεῖδες G5237 ἐν G1722 παντὶ G3956 καιρῷ G2540 καὶ G2532 τόπῳ G5117 παριστάμενος.
