לִי נָקָם וְשִׁלֵּם לְעֵת תָּמוּט רַגְלָם כִּי קָרוֹב יוֹם אֵידָם וְחָשׁ עֲתִדֹת לָֽמוֹ׃
To me belongeth vengeance, and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.
οἴδαμεν γὰρ τὸν εἰπόντα Ἐμοὶ ἐκδίκησις ἐγὼ ἀνταποδώσω λέγει κύριος καὶ πάλιν Κύριος· Κρινεῖ τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ
For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.
אַל-תֹּאמַר כַּאֲשֶׁר עָֽשָׂה-לִי כֵּן אֶֽעֱשֶׂה-לּוֹ אָשִׁיב לָאִישׁ כְּפָעֳלֽוֹ׃
Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me: I will render to the man according to his work.
אַל-תֹּאמַר אֲשַׁלְּמָה-רָע קַוֵּה לַֽיהוָה וְיֹשַֽׁע לָֽךְ׃
Say not thou, I will recompense evil; but wait on the LORD, and he shall save thee.
μηδενὶ κακὸν ἀντὶ κακοῦ ἀποδιδόντες προνοούμενοι καλὰ ἐνώπιον πάντων ἀνθρώπων·
Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
τὸ μὴ ὑπερβαίνειν καὶ πλεονεκτεῖν ἐν τῷ πράγματι τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ διότι ἔκδικος ὁ κύριος περὶ πάντων τούτων καθὼς καὶ προείπαμεν ὑμῖν καὶ διεμαρτυράμεθα
That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.
εὐλογεῖτε τοὺς διώκοντας ὑμᾶς εὐλογεῖτε καὶ μὴ καταρᾶσθε
Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
לֹֽא-תִקֹּם וְלֹֽא-תִטֹּר אֶת-בְּנֵי עַמֶּךָ וְאָֽהַבְתָּ לְרֵֽעֲךָ כָּמוֹךָ אֲנִי יְהוָֽה׃
Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD.
הַרְנִינוּ גוֹיִם עַמּוֹ כִּי דַם-עֲבָדָיו יִקּוֹם וְנָקָם יָשִׁיב לְצָרָיו וְכִפֶּר אַדְמָתוֹ עַמּֽוֹ׃
Rejoice, O ye nations, with his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land, and to his people.
אֵל קַנּוֹא וְנֹקֵם יְהוָה נֹקֵם יְהוָה וּבַעַל חֵמָה נֹקֵם יְהוָה לְצָרָיו וְנוֹטֵר הוּא לְאֹיְבָֽיו׃
God is jealous, and the LORD revengeth; the LORD revengeth, and is furious; the LORD will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth wrath for his enemies.
אֵל-נְקָמוֹת יְהוָה אֵל נְקָמוֹת הוֹפִֽיַע׃
O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself.
ἀλλ' ὑμῖν λέγω τοῖς ἀκούουσιν ἀγαπᾶτε τοὺς ἐχθροὺς ὑμῶν καλῶς ποιεῖτε τοῖς μισοῦσιν ὑμᾶς
But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,
ἐγὼ δὲ λέγω ὑμῖν μὴ ἀντιστῆναι τῷ πονηρῷ· ἀλλ' ὅστις σε ῥαπίσει ἐπὶ τὴν δεξιάν σου σιαγόνα στρέψον αὐτῷ καὶ τὴν ἄλλην·
But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
θεοῦ γὰρ διάκονός ἐστιν σοὶ εἰς τὸ ἀγαθόν ἐὰν δὲ τὸ κακὸν ποιῇς φοβοῦ· οὐ γὰρ εἰκῇ τὴν μάχαιραν φορεῖ· θεοῦ γὰρ διάκονός ἐστιν ἔκδικος εἰς ὀργὴν τῷ τὸ κακὸν πράσσοντι
For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.
בִּנְפֹל (אויביך) אֽוֹיִבְךָ אַל-תִּשְׂמָח וּבִכָּשְׁלוֹ אַל-יָגֵל לִבֶּֽךָ׃
Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:
וּבָרוּךְ טַעְמֵךְ וּבְרוּכָה אָתְּ אֲשֶׁר כְּלִתִנִי הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה מִבּוֹא בְדָמִים וְהֹשֵׁעַ יָדִי לִֽי׃
And blessed be thy advice, and blessed be thou, which hast kept me this day from coming to shed blood, and from avenging myself with mine own hand.
וְעַתָּה אֲדֹנִי חַי-יְהוָה וְחֵֽי-נַפְשְׁךָ אֲשֶׁר מְנָֽעֲךָ יְהוָה מִבּוֹא בְדָמִים וְהוֹשֵׁעַ יָֽדְךָ לָךְ וְעַתָּה יִֽהְיוּ כְנָבָל אֹֽיְבֶיךָ וְהַֽמְבַקְשִׁים אֶל-אֲדֹנִי רָעָֽה׃
Now therefore, my lord, as the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, seeing the LORD hath withholden thee from coming to shed blood, and from avenging thyself with thine own hand, now let thine enemies, and they that seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal.
στραφεὶς δὲ ἐπετίμησεν αὐτοῖς καὶ εἶπεν Οὐκ οἰδατε οἵου πνεύματός ἐστε ὑμεῖς·
But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit of. ye are
כֹּה אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה יַעַן עֲשׂוֹת אֱדוֹם בִּנְקֹם נָקָם לְבֵית יְהוּדָה וַיֶּאְשְׁמוּ אָשׁוֹם וְנִקְּמוּ בָהֶֽם׃
Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because that Edom hath dealt against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and hath greatly offended, and revenged himself upon them;
