אָלָה פִּיהוּ מָלֵא וּמִרְמוֹת וָתֹךְ תַּחַת לְשׁוֹנוֹ עָמָל וָאָֽוֶן׃
His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.
וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלֹהִים נַֽעֲשֶׂה אָדָם בְּצַלְמֵנוּ כִּדְמוּתֵנוּ וְיִרְדּוּ בִדְגַת הַיָּם וּבְעוֹף הַשָּׁמַיִם וּבַבְּהֵמָה וּבְכָל-הָאָרֶץ וּבְכָל-הָרֶמֶשׂ הָֽרֹמֵשׂ עַל-הָאָֽרֶץ׃
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
אַךְ מִשְּׂאֵתוֹ׀ יָעֲצוּ לְהַדִּיחַ יִרְצוּ כָזָב בְּפִיו יְבָרֵכוּ וּבְקִרְבָּם יְקַלְלוּ-סֶֽלָה׃
They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.
וַיֹּאמֶר אֲדֹנָי יַעַן כִּי נִגַּשׁ הָעָם הַזֶּה בְּפִיו וּבִשְׂפָתָיו כִּבְּדוּנִי וְלִבּוֹ רִחַק מִמֶּנִּי וַתְּהִי יִרְאָתָם אֹתִי מִצְוַת אֲנָשִׁים מְלֻמָּדָֽה׃
Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:
חַטַּאת-פִּימוֹ דְּֽבַר-שְׂפָתֵימוֹ וְיִלָּכְדוּ בִגְאוֹנָם וּמֵאָלָה וּמִכַּחַשׁ יְסַפֵּֽרוּ׃
For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying which they speak.
שֹׁפֵךְ דַּם הָֽאָדָם בָּֽאָדָם דָּמוֹ יִשָּׁפֵךְ כִּי בְּצֶלֶם אֱלֹהִים עָשָׂה אֶת-הָֽאָדָֽם׃
Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.
διὰ τοῦτο εὐφράνθη ἡ καρδία μου καὶ ἠγαλλιάσατο ἡ γλῶσσά μου ἔτι δὲ καὶ ἡ σάρξ μου κατασκηνώσει ἐπ' ἐλπίδι
Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:
וַיַּעַן אֲבִישַׁי בֶּן-צְרוּיָה וַיֹּאמֶר הֲתַחַת זֹאת לֹא יוּמַת שִׁמְעִי כִּי קִלֵּל אֶת-מְשִׁיחַ יְהוָֽה׃
But Abishai the son of Zeruiah answered and said, Shall not Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed the LORD's anointed?
זֶה סֵפֶר תּוֹלְדֹת אָדָם בְּיוֹם בְּרֹא אֱלֹהִים אָדָם בִּדְמוּת אֱלֹהִים עָשָׂה אֹתֽוֹ׃
This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;
כִּי גַּם-פְּעָמִים רַבּוֹת יָדַע לִבֶּךָ אֲשֶׁר גַּם-(את) אַתָּה קִלַּלְתָּ אֲחֵרִֽים׃
For oftentimes also thine own heart knoweth that thou thyself likewise hast cursed others.
וּבָא הַמֶּלֶךְ דָּוִד עַד-בַּֽחוּרִים וְהִנֵּה מִשָּׁם אִישׁ יוֹצֵא מִמִּשְׁפַּחַת בֵּית-שָׁאוּל וּשְׁמוֹ שִׁמְעִי בֶן-גֵּרָא יֹצֵא יָצוֹא וּמְקַלֵּֽל׃
And when king David came to Bahurim, behold, thence came out a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera: he came forth, and cursed still as he came.
עוּרָה כְבוֹדִי עוּרָֽה הַנֵּבֶל וְכִנּוֹר אָעִירָה שָּֽׁחַר׃
Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.
אֲבָרֲכָה אֶת-יְהוָה בְּכָל-עֵת תָּמִיד תְּֽהִלָּתוֹ בְּפִֽי׃
I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
τότε ἤρξατο καταναθεματίζειν καὶ ὀμνύειν ὅτι Οὐκ οἶδα τὸν ἄνθρωπον καὶ εὐθέως ἀλέκτωρ ἐφώνησεν
Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew.
לָכֵן׀ שָׂמַח לִבִּי וַיָּגֶל כְּבוֹדִי אַף-בְּשָׂרִי יִשְׁכֹּן לָבֶֽטַח׃
Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.
גַּם-לְשׁוֹנִי כָּל-הַיּוֹם תֶּהְגֶּה צִדְקָתֶךָ כִּי-בֹשׁוּ כִֽי-חָפְרוּ מְבַקְשֵׁי רָעָתִֽי׃
My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought unto shame, that seek my hurt.
וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִיד לְכָל-הַקָּהָל בָּֽרְכוּ-נָא אֶת-יְהוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם וַיְבָרֲכוּ כָֽל-הַקָּהָל לַֽיהוָה אֱלֹהֵי אֲבֹֽתֵיהֶם וַיִּקְּדוּ וַיִּֽשְׁתַּחֲווּ לַֽיהוָה וְלַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃
And David said to all the congregation, Now bless the LORD your God. And all the congregation blessed the LORD God of their fathers, and bowed down their heads, and worshipped the LORD, and the king.
ἐγὼ δὲ λέγω ὑμῖν ἀγαπᾶτε τοὺς ἐχθροὺς ὑμῶν εὐλογεῖτε τοὺς καταρωμένους ὑμᾶς καλῶς ποιεῖτε τοὺς μισοῦντας ὑμᾶς καὶ προσεύχεσθε ὑπὲρ τῶν ἐπηρεαζόντων ὑμᾶς καὶ διωκόντων ὑμᾶς
But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
וַיְבָרֶךְ דָּוִיד אֶת-יְהוָה לְעֵינֵי כָּל-הַקָּהָל וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִיד בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אָבִינוּ מֵֽעוֹלָם וְעַד-עוֹלָֽם׃
Wherefore David blessed the LORD before all the congregation: and David said, Blessed be thou, LORD God of Israel our father, for ever and ever.
