صَمُوئِيلَ ٱلثَّانِي 22

١ 1 وَكَلَّمَ دَاوُدُ ٱلرَّبَّ بِكَلَامِ هَذَا ٱلنَّشِيدِ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلَّذِي أَنْقَذَهُ فِيهِ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ أَيْدِي كُلِّ أَعْدَائِهِ وَمِنْ يَدِ شَاوُلَ،

And David spoke to Jehovah the words of this song in the day that Jehovah delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul:

٢ 2 فَقَالَ: «اَلرَّبُّ صَخْرَتِي وَحِصْنِي وَمُنْقِذِي،

And he said, Jehovah is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer, even mine.

٣ 3 إِلَهُ صَخْرَتِي بِهِ أَحْتَمِي. تُرْسِي وَقَرْنُ خَلَاصِي. مَلْجَإِي وَمَنَاصِي. مُخَلِّصِي، مِنَ ٱلظُّلْمِ تُخَلِّصُنِي.

God, my rock, in him I will take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my savior. Thou save me from violence.

٤ 4 أَدْعُو ٱلرَّبَّ ٱلْحَمِيدَ فَأَتَخَلَّصُ مِنْ أَعْدَائِي.

I will call upon Jehovah, who is worthy to be praised. So I shall be saved from my enemies.

٥ 5 لِأَنَّ أَمْوَاجَ ٱلْمَوْتِ ٱكْتَنَفَتْنِي. سُيُولُ ٱلْهَلَاكِ أَفْزَعَتْنِي.

For the waves of death encompassed me. The floods of ungodliness made me afraid.

٦ 6 حِبَالُ ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ أَحَاطَتْ بِي. شُرُكُ ٱلْمَوْتِ أَصَابَتْنِي. (Sheol h7585)

The cords of Sheol were round about me. The snares of death came upon me. (Sheol h7585)

٧ 7 فِي ضِيقِي دَعَوْتُ ٱلرَّبَّ، وَإِلَى إِلَهِي صَرَخْتُ، فَسَمِعَ مِنْ هَيْكَلِهِ صَوْتِي، وَصُرَاخِي دَخَلَ أُذُنَيْهِ.

In my distress I called upon Jehovah. Yea, I called to my God. And he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came into his ears.

٨ 8 فَٱرْتَجَّتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَٱرْتَعَشَتْ. أُسُسُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ ٱرْتَعَدَتْ وَٱرْتَجَّتْ، لِأَنَّهُ غَضِبَ.

Then the earth shook and trembled, the foundations of heaven quaked and were shaken, because he was angry.

٩ 9 صَعِدَ دُخَانٌ مِنْ أَنْفِهِ، وَنَارٌ مِنْ فَمِهِ أَكَلَتْ. جَمْرٌ ٱشْتَعَلَتْ مِنْهُ.

There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured. Coals were kindled by it.

١٠ 10 طَأْطَأَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَنَزَلَ، وَضَبَابٌ تَحْتَ رِجْلَيْهِ.

He bowed the heavens also, and came down, and thick darkness was under his feet.

١١ 11 رَكِبَ عَلَى كَرُوبٍ، وَطَارَ وَرُئِيَ عَلَى أَجْنِحَةِ ٱلرِّيحِ.

And he rode upon a cherub, and flew. Yea, he was seen upon the wings of the wind.

١٢ 12 جَعَلَ ٱلظُّلْمَةَ حَوْلَهُ مِظَلَّاتٍ، مِيَاهًا حَاشِكَةً وَظَلَامَ ٱلْغَمَامِ.

And he made darkness pavilions round about him, gathering of waters, thick clouds of the skies.

١٣ 13 مِنَ ٱلشُّعَاعِ قُدَّامَهُ ٱشْتَعَلَتْ جَمْرُ نَارٍ.

At the brightness before him coals of fire were kindled.

١٤ 14 أَرْعَدَ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ، وَٱلْعَلِيُّ أَعْطَى صَوْتَهُ.

Jehovah thundered from heaven, and the Most High uttered his voice.

١٥ 15 أَرْسَلَ سِهَامًا فَشَتَّتَهُمْ، بَرْقًا فَأَزْعَجَهُمْ.

And he sent out arrows, and scattered them, lightning, and discomfited them.

١٦ 16 فَظَهَرَتْ أَعْمَاقُ ٱلْبَحْرِ، وَٱنْكَشَفَتْ أُسُسُ ٱلْمَسْكُونَةِ مِنْ زَجْرِ ٱلرَّبِّ، مِنْ نَسْمَةِ رِيحِ أَنْفِهِ.

Then the channels of the sea appeared. The foundations of the world were laid bare by the rebuke of Jehovah, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.

١٧ 17 أَرْسَلَ مِنَ ٱلْعُلَى فَأَخَذَنِي، نَشَلَنِي مِنْ مِيَاهٍ كَثِيرَةٍ.

He sent from on high, he took me. He drew me out of many waters.

١٨ 18 أَنْقَذَنِي مِنْ عَدُوِّيَ ٱلْقَوِيِّ، مِنْ مُبْغِضِيَّ لِأَنَّهُمْ أَقْوَى مِنِّي.

He delivered me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me, for they were too mighty for me.

١٩ 19 أَصَابُونِي فِي يَوْمِ بَلِيَّتِي، وَكَانَ ٱلرَّبُّ سَنَدِي.

They came upon me in the day of my calamity, but Jehovah was my support.

٢٠ 20 أَخْرَجَنِي إِلَى ٱلرَّحْبِ. خَلَّصَنِي لِأَنَّهُ سُرَّ بِي.

He brought me forth also into a large place. He delivered me, because he delighted in me.

٢١ 21 يُكَافِئُنِي ٱلرَّبُّ حَسَبَ بِرِّي. حَسَبَ طَهَارَةِ يَدَيَّ يَرُدُّ عَلَيَّ.

Jehovah rewarded me according to my righteousness. According to the cleanness of my hands he has rewarded me.

٢٢ 22 لِأَنِّي حَفِظْتُ طُرُقَ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَلَمْ أَعْصِ إِلَهِي.

For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, and have not wickedly departed from my God.

٢٣ 23 لِأَنَّ جَمِيعَ أَحْكَامِهِ أَمَامِي، وَفَرَائِضُهُ لَا أَحِيدُ عَنْهَا.

For all his ordinances were before me. And as for his statutes, I did not depart from them.

٢٤ 24 وَأَكُونُ كَامِلًا لَدَيْهِ، وَأَتَحَفَّظُ مِنْ إِثْمِي.

I was also perfect toward him, and I kept myself from my iniquity.

٢٥ 25 فَيَرُدُّ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَيَّ كَبِرِّي، وَكَطَهَارَتِي أَمَامَ عَيْنَيْهِ.

Therefore Jehovah has recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to my cleanness in his eyesight.

٢٦ 26 «مَعَ ٱلرَّحِيمِ تَكُونُ رَحِيمًا. مَعَ ٱلرَّجُلِ ٱلْكَامِلِ تَكُونُ كَامِلًا.

With the merciful thou will show thyself merciful. With the perfect man thou will show thyself perfect.

٢٧ 27 مَعَ ٱلطَّاهِرِ تَكُونُ طَاهِرًا، وَمَعَ ٱلْأَعْوَجِ تَكُونُ مُلْتَوِيًا.

With the pure thou will show thyself pure. And with the perverse thou will show thyself contrary.

٢٨ 28 وَتُخَلِّصُ ٱلشَّعْبَ ٱلْبَائِسَ، وَعَيْنَاكَ عَلَى ٱلْمُتَرَفِّعِينَ فَتَضَعُهُمْ.

And the afflicted people thou will save, but thine eyes are upon the haughty, that thou may bring them down.

٢٩ 29 لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ سِرَاجِي يَارَبُّ، وَٱلرَّبُّ يُضِيءُ ظُلْمَتِي.

For thou are my lamp, O Jehovah. And Jehovah will lighten my darkness.

٣٠ 30 لِأَنِّي بِكَ ٱقْتَحَمْتُ جَيْشًا. بِإِلَهِي تَسَوَّرْتُ أَسْوَارًا.

For by thee I run upon a troop. By my God do I leap over a wall.

٣١ 31 ٱللهُ طَرِيقُهُ كَامِلٌ، وَقَوْلُ ٱلرَّبِّ نَقِيٌّ. تُرْسٌ هُوَ لِجَمِيعِ ٱلْمُحْتَمِينَ بِهِ.

As for God, his way is perfect. The word of Jehovah is tried. He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.

٣٢ 32 لِأَنَّهُ مَنْ هُوَ إِلَهٌ غَيْرُ ٱلرَّبِّ؟ وَمَنْ هُوَ صَخْرَةٌ غَيْرُ إِلَهِنَا؟

For who is God, except Jehovah? And who is a rock, except our God?

٣٣ 33 ٱلْإِلَهُ ٱلَّذِي يُعَزِّزُنِي بِٱلْقُوَّةِ، وَيُصَيِّرُ طَرِيقِي كَامِلًا.

God is my strong fortress, and he guides the perfect in his way.

٣٤ 34 ٱلَّذِي يَجْعَلُ رِجْلَيَّ كَٱلْإِيَّلِ، وَعَلَى مُرْتَفَعَاتِي يُقِيمُنِي

He makes his feet like hinds' feet, and sets me upon my high places.

٣٥ 35 ٱلَّذِي يُعَلِّمُ يَدَيَّ ٱلْقِتَالَ، فَتُحْنَى بِذِرَاعَيَّ قَوْسٌ مِنْ نُحَاسٍ.

He teaches my hands to war, so that my arms bend a bow of brass.

٣٦ 36 وَتَجْعَلُ لِي تُرْسَ خَلَاصِكَ، وَلُطْفُكَ يُعَظِّمُنِي.

Thou have also given me the shield of thy salvation, and thy gentleness has made me great.

٣٧ 37 تُوَسِّعُ خَطْوَاتِي تَحْتِي، فَلَمْ تَتَقَلْقَلْ كَعْبَايَ.

Thou have enlarged my steps under me, and my feet have not slipped.

٣٨ 38 أَلْحَقُ أَعْدَائِي فَأُهْلِكُهُمْ، وَلَا أَرْجِعُ حَتَّى أُفْنِيَهُمْ.

I have pursued my enemies, and destroyed them, neither did I turn again till they were consumed.

٣٩ 39 أُفْنِيهِمْ وَأَسْحَقُهُمْ فَلَا يَقُومُونَ، بَلْ يَسْقُطُونَ تَحْتَ رِجْلَيَّ.

And I have consumed them, and smitten them through, so that they cannot arise. Yea, they are fallen under my feet.

٤٠ 40 «تُنَطِّقُنِي قُوَّةً لِلْقِتَالِ، وَتَصْرَعُ ٱلْقَائِمِينَ عَلَيَّ تَحْتِي.

For thou have girded me with strength to the battle. Thou have subdued under me those who rose up against me.

٤١ 41 وَتُعْطِينِي أَقْفِيَةَ أَعْدَائِي وَمُبْغِضِيَّ فَأُفْنِيهِمْ.

Thou have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, that I might cut off those who hate me.

٤٢ 42 يَتَطَلَّعُونَ فَلَيْسَ مُخَلِّصٌ، إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ فَلَا يَسْتَجِيبُهُمْ.

They looked, but there was none to save; even to Jehovah, but he did not answer them.

٤٣ 43 فَأَسْحَقُهُمْ كَغُبَارِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. مِثْلَ طِينِ ٱلْأَسْوَاقِ أَدُقُّهُمْ وَأَدُوسُهُمْ.

Then I beat them small as the dust of the earth. I crushed them as the mire of the streets, and spread them abroad.

٤٤ 44 وَتُنْقِذُنِي مِنْ مُخَاصَمَاتِ شَعْبِي، وَتَحْفَظُنِي رَأْسًا لِلْأُمَمِ. شَعْبٌ لَمْ أَعْرِفْهُ يَتَعَبَّدُ لِي.

Thou have also delivered me from the strivings of my people. Thou have kept me to be the head of the nations. A people whom I have not known shall serve me.

٤٥ 45 بَنُو ٱلْغُرَبَاءِ يَتَذَلَّلُونَ لِي. مِنْ سَمَاعِ ٱلْأُذُنِ يَسْمَعُونَ لِي.

The foreigners shall submit themselves to me. As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me.

٤٦ 46 بَنُو ٱلْغُرَبَاءِ يَبْلَوْنَ وَيَزْحَفُونَ مِنْ حُصُونِهِمْ.

The foreigners shall fade away, and shall come trembling out of their hiding places.

٤٧ 47 حَيٌّ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَمُبَارَكٌ صَخْرَتِي، وَمُرْتَفَعٌ إِلَهُ صَخْرَةِ خَلَاصِي.

Jehovah lives. And blessed be my rock. And exalted be God, the rock of my salvation,

٤٨ 48 ٱلْإِلَهُ ٱلْمُنْتَقِمُ لِي، وَٱلْمُخْضِعُ شُعُوبًا تَحْتِي،

Even the God who executes vengeance for me, and who brings down peoples under me,

٤٩ 49 وَٱلَّذِي يُخْرِجُنِي مِنْ بَيْنِ أَعْدَائِي، وَيَرْفَعُنِي فَوْقَ ٱلْقَائِمِينَ عَلَيَّ، وَيُنْقِذُنِي مِنْ رَجُلِ ٱلظُّلْمِ.

and who brings me forth from my enemies. Yea, thou lift me up above those who rise up against me. Thou deliver me from the violent man.

٥٠ 50 لِذَلِكَ أَحْمَدُكَ يَارَبُّ فِي ٱلْأُمَمِ، وَلِٱسْمِكَ أُرَنِّمُ.

Therefore I will give thanks to thee, O Jehovah, among gentiles, and will sing praises to thy name.

٥١ 51 بُرْجُ خَلَاصٍ لِمَلِكِهِ، وَٱلصَّانِعُ رَحْمَةً لِمَسِيحِهِ، لِدَاوُدَ وَنَسْلِهِ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ».

He gives great deliverance to his king, and shows loving kindness to his anointed, to David and to his seed, for evermore.
