صَمُوئِيلَ ٱلثَّانِي 22

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

David sang to Yahweh the words of this song on the day that Yahweh rescued him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul.

٢ 2 فَقَالَ: «اَلرَّبُّ صَخْرَتِي وَحِصْنِي وَمُنْقِذِي،

He prayed, “Yahweh is my rock, my fortress, the one who rescues me.

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

God is my rock. I take refuge in him. He is my shield, the horn of my salvation, my stronghold, and my refuge, the one who saves me from violence.

٤ 4 أَدْعُو ٱلرَّبَّ ٱلْحَمِيدَ فَأَتَخَلَّصُ مِنْ أَعْدَائِي.

I will call on Yahweh, who is worthy to be praised, and I will be saved from my enemies.

٥ 5 لِأَنَّ أَمْوَاجَ ٱلْمَوْتِ ٱكْتَنَفَتْنِي. سُيُولُ ٱلْهَلَاكِ أَفْزَعَتْنِي.

For the waves of death surrounded me, the rushing waters of destruction overwhelmed me.

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

The cords of Sheol surrounded me; the snares of death trapped me. (Sheol h7585)

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

In my distress I called to Yahweh; I called to my God; he heard my voice from his temple, and my call for help went into his ears.

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

Then the earth shook and trembled. The foundations of the heavens trembled and were shaken, because God was angry.

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

Smoke went up from out of his nostrils, and blazing fire came out of his mouth. Coals were ignited by it.

١٠ 10 طَأْطَأَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَنَزَلَ، وَضَبَابٌ تَحْتَ رِجْلَيْهِ.

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

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

He rode on a cherub and flew. He was seen on the wings of the wind.

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

He made darkness a tent around him, gathering heavy rain clouds in the skies.

١٣ 13 مِنَ ٱلشُّعَاعِ قُدَّامَهُ ٱشْتَعَلَتْ جَمْرُ نَارٍ.

From the lightning before him coals of fire fell.

١٤ 14 أَرْعَدَ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ، وَٱلْعَلِيُّ أَعْطَى صَوْتَهُ.

Yahweh thundered from the heavens. The Most High shouted.

١٥ 15 أَرْسَلَ سِهَامًا فَشَتَّتَهُمْ، بَرْقًا فَأَزْعَجَهُمْ.

He shot arrows and scattered his enemies— lightning bolts and dispersed them.

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

Then the channels of the sea were seen; the foundations of the world were laid bare at the rebuke of Yahweh, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.

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

He reached down from above; he took hold of me! He pulled me out of the surging water.

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

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

١٩ 19 أَصَابُونِي فِي يَوْمِ بَلِيَّتِي، وَكَانَ ٱلرَّبُّ سَنَدِي.

They came against me on the day of my distress, but Yahweh was my support.

٢٠ 20 أَخْرَجَنِي إِلَى ٱلرَّحْبِ. خَلَّصَنِي لِأَنَّهُ سُرَّ بِي.

He also brought me out to a wide open place. He saved me because he was pleased with me.

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

Yahweh has rewarded me to the measure of my righteousness; he has restored me to the measure of the cleanness of my hands.

٢٢ 22 لِأَنِّي حَفِظْتُ طُرُقَ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَلَمْ أَعْصِ إِلَهِي.

For I have kept the ways of Yahweh and have not acted wickedly by turning from my God.

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

For all his righteous decrees have been before me; as for his statutes, I have not turned away from them.

٢٤ 24 وَأَكُونُ كَامِلًا لَدَيْهِ، وَأَتَحَفَّظُ مِنْ إِثْمِي.

I have also been innocent before him, and I have kept myself from sin.

٢٥ 25 فَيَرُدُّ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَيَّ كَبِرِّي، وَكَطَهَارَتِي أَمَامَ عَيْنَيْهِ.

Therefore Yahweh has restored me to the measure of my righteousness, to the degree of my cleanness in his sight.

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

To one who is faithful, you show yourself to be faithful; to a man who is blameless, you show yourself to be blameless.

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

With the pure you show yourself pure, but you are perverse to the twisted.

٢٨ 28 وَتُخَلِّصُ ٱلشَّعْبَ ٱلْبَائِسَ، وَعَيْنَاكَ عَلَى ٱلْمُتَرَفِّعِينَ فَتَضَعُهُمْ.

You save afflicted people, but your eyes are against the proud, and you bring them down.

٢٩ 29 لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ سِرَاجِي يَارَبُّ، وَٱلرَّبُّ يُضِيءُ ظُلْمَتِي.

For you are my lamp, Yahweh. Yahweh lights up my darkness.

٣٠ 30 لِأَنِّي بِكَ ٱقْتَحَمْتُ جَيْشًا. بِإِلَهِي تَسَوَّرْتُ أَسْوَارًا.

For by you I can run over a barricade; by my God I can 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 Yahweh is pure. He is a shield to everyone who takes refuge in him.

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

For who is God except Yahweh, and who is a rock except our God?

٣٣ 33 ٱلْإِلَهُ ٱلَّذِي يُعَزِّزُنِي بِٱلْقُوَّةِ، وَيُصَيِّرُ طَرِيقِي كَامِلًا.

God is my refuge, and he leads the blameless person on his path.

٣٤ 34 ٱلَّذِي يَجْعَلُ رِجْلَيَّ كَٱلْإِيَّلِ، وَعَلَى مُرْتَفَعَاتِي يُقِيمُنِي

He makes my feet swift like a deer and places me on the high hills.

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

He trains my hands for war, and my arms to bend a bow of bronze.

٣٦ 36 وَتَجْعَلُ لِي تُرْسَ خَلَاصِكَ، وَلُطْفُكَ يُعَظِّمُنِي.

You have given me the shield of your salvation, and your favor has made me great.

٣٧ 37 تُوَسِّعُ خَطْوَاتِي تَحْتِي، فَلَمْ تَتَقَلْقَلْ كَعْبَايَ.

You have made a wide place for my feet beneath me, so my feet have not slipped.

٣٨ 38 أَلْحَقُ أَعْدَائِي فَأُهْلِكُهُمْ، وَلَا أَرْجِعُ حَتَّى أُفْنِيَهُمْ.

I pursued my enemies and destroyed them. I did not turn back until they were destroyed.

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

I devoured them and smashed them; they cannot rise. They have fallen under my feet.

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

You put strength on me like a belt for battle; you put under me those who rise up against me.

٤١ 41 وَتُعْطِينِي أَقْفِيَةَ أَعْدَائِي وَمُبْغِضِيَّ فَأُفْنِيهِمْ.

You gave me the back of my enemies' necks; I annihilated those who hated me.

٤٢ 42 يَتَطَلَّعُونَ فَلَيْسَ مُخَلِّصٌ، إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ فَلَا يَسْتَجِيبُهُمْ.

They cried for help, but no one saved them; they cried out to Yahweh, but he did not answer them.

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

I beat them into fine pieces like dust on the ground, I pulverized them like mud in the streets.

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

You also have rescued me from the disputes of my own people. You have kept me as the head of nations. A people that I have not known serves me.

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

Foreigners were forced to bow to me. As soon as they heard of me, they obeyed me.

٤٦ 46 بَنُو ٱلْغُرَبَاءِ يَبْلَوْنَ وَيَزْحَفُونَ مِنْ حُصُونِهِمْ.

The foreigners came trembling out of their strongholds.

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

Yahweh lives! May my rock be praised. May God be exalted, the rock of my salvation.

٤٨ 48 ٱلْإِلَهُ ٱلْمُنْتَقِمُ لِي، وَٱلْمُخْضِعُ شُعُوبًا تَحْتِي،

This is the God who executes vengeance for me, the one who brings down peoples under me.

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

He sets me free from my enemies. Indeed, you lifted me up above those who rose up against me. You rescue me from violent men.

٥٠ 50 لِذَلِكَ أَحْمَدُكَ يَارَبُّ فِي ٱلْأُمَمِ، وَلِٱسْمِكَ أُرَنِّمُ.

Therefore I will give thanks to you, Yahweh, among the nations; I will sing praises to your name.

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

God gives great victory to his king, and he shows his covenant loyalty to his anointed one, to David and to his descendants forever.”
