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 speaketh to Jehovah the words of this song in the day Jehovah hath 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 saith: 'Jehovah [is] my rock, And my bulwark, and a deliverer to me,

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

My God [is] my rock — I take refuge in Him; My shield, and the horn of my salvation, My high tower, and my refuge! My Saviour, from violence Thou savest me!

٤ 4 أَدْعُو ٱلرَّبَّ ٱلْحَمِيدَ فَأَتَخَلَّصُ مِنْ أَعْدَائِي.

The Praised One, I call Jehovah: And from mine enemies I am saved.

٥ 5 لِأَنَّ أَمْوَاجَ ٱلْمَوْتِ ٱكْتَنَفَتْنِي. سُيُولُ ٱلْهَلَاكِ أَفْزَعَتْنِي.

When the breakers of death compassed me, The streams of the worthless terrify me,

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

The cords of Sheol have surrounded me, Before me have been the snares of death. (Sheol h7585)

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

In mine adversity I call Jehovah, And unto my God I call, And He heareth from His temple my voice, And my cry [is] in His ears,

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

And shake and tremble doth the earth, Foundations of the heavens are troubled, And are shaken, for He hath wrath!

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

Gone up hath smoke by His nostrils. And fire from His mouth devoureth, Brands have been kindled by it.

١٠ 10 طَأْطَأَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَنَزَلَ، وَضَبَابٌ تَحْتَ رِجْلَيْهِ.

And He inclineth heaven, and cometh down, And thick darkness [is] under His feet.

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

And He rideth on a cherub, and doth fly, And is seen on the wings of the wind.

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

And He setteth darkness Round about Him — tabernacles, Darkness of waters — thick clouds of the skies.

١٣ 13 مِنَ ٱلشُّعَاعِ قُدَّامَهُ ٱشْتَعَلَتْ جَمْرُ نَارٍ.

From the brightness before Him Were brands of fire kindled!

١٤ 14 أَرْعَدَ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ، وَٱلْعَلِيُّ أَعْطَى صَوْتَهُ.

Thunder from the heavens doth Jehovah, And the Most High giveth forth His voice.

١٥ 15 أَرْسَلَ سِهَامًا فَشَتَّتَهُمْ، بَرْقًا فَأَزْعَجَهُمْ.

And He sendeth forth arrows, And scattereth them; Lightning, and troubleth them;

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

And seen are the streams of the sea, Revealed are foundations of the world, By the rebuke of Jehovah, From the breath of the spirit of His anger.

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

He sendeth from above — He taketh me, He draweth me out of many waters.

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

He delivereth me from my strong enemy, From those hating me, For they were stronger than I.

١٩ 19 أَصَابُونِي فِي يَوْمِ بَلِيَّتِي، وَكَانَ ٱلرَّبُّ سَنَدِي.

They are before me in a day of my calamity, And Jehovah is my support,

٢٠ 20 أَخْرَجَنِي إِلَى ٱلرَّحْبِ. خَلَّصَنِي لِأَنَّهُ سُرَّ بِي.

And He bringeth me out to a large place, He draweth me out for He delighted in me.

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

Jehovah recompenseth me, According to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands, He doth return to me.

٢٢ 22 لِأَنِّي حَفِظْتُ طُرُقَ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَلَمْ أَعْصِ إِلَهِي.

For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, And have not done wickedly against my God.

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

For all His judgments [are] before me, As to His statutes, I turn not from them.

٢٤ 24 وَأَكُونُ كَامِلًا لَدَيْهِ، وَأَتَحَفَّظُ مِنْ إِثْمِي.

And I am perfect before Him, And I keep myself from mine iniquity.

٢٥ 25 فَيَرُدُّ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَيَّ كَبِرِّي، وَكَطَهَارَتِي أَمَامَ عَيْنَيْهِ.

And Jehovah returneth to me, According to my righteousness, According to my cleanness before His eyes.

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

With the kind Thou shewest Thyself kind, With the perfect man Thou shewest Thyself perfect,

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

With the pure Thou shewest Thyself pure, And with the perverse Thou shewest Thyself a wrestler.

٢٨ 28 وَتُخَلِّصُ ٱلشَّعْبَ ٱلْبَائِسَ، وَعَيْنَاكَ عَلَى ٱلْمُتَرَفِّعِينَ فَتَضَعُهُمْ.

And the poor people Thou dost save, And Thine eyes on the high causest to fall.

٢٩ 29 لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ سِرَاجِي يَارَبُّ، وَٱلرَّبُّ يُضِيءُ ظُلْمَتِي.

For Thou [art] my lamp, O Jehovah, And Jehovah doth lighten my darkness.

٣٠ 30 لِأَنِّي بِكَ ٱقْتَحَمْتُ جَيْشًا. بِإِلَهِي تَسَوَّرْتُ أَسْوَارًا.

For by Thee I run — a troop, By my God I leap a wall.

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

God! Perfect [is] His way, The saying of Jehovah is tried, A shield He [is] to all those trusting in Him.

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

For who is God save Jehovah? And who a Rock save our God?

٣٣ 33 ٱلْإِلَهُ ٱلَّذِي يُعَزِّزُنِي بِٱلْقُوَّةِ، وَيُصَيِّرُ طَرِيقِي كَامِلًا.

God — my bulwark, [my] strength, And He maketh perfect my way;

٣٤ 34 ٱلَّذِي يَجْعَلُ رِجْلَيَّ كَٱلْإِيَّلِ، وَعَلَى مُرْتَفَعَاتِي يُقِيمُنِي

Making my feet like hinds, And on my high places causeth me to stand,

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

Teaching my hands for battle, And brought down was a bow of brass by mine arms,

٣٦ 36 وَتَجْعَلُ لِي تُرْسَ خَلَاصِكَ، وَلُطْفُكَ يُعَظِّمُنِي.

And Thou givest to me the shield of Thy salvation, And Thy lowliness maketh me great.

٣٧ 37 تُوَسِّعُ خَطْوَاتِي تَحْتِي، فَلَمْ تَتَقَلْقَلْ كَعْبَايَ.

Thou enlargest my step under me, And mine ankles have not slidden.

٣٨ 38 أَلْحَقُ أَعْدَائِي فَأُهْلِكُهُمْ، وَلَا أَرْجِعُ حَتَّى أُفْنِيَهُمْ.

I pursue mine enemies and destroy them, And I turn not till they are consumed.

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

And I consume them, and smite them, And they rise not, and fall under my feet.

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

And Thou girdest me [with] strength for battle, Thou causest my withstanders to bow under me.

٤١ 41 وَتُعْطِينِي أَقْفِيَةَ أَعْدَائِي وَمُبْغِضِيَّ فَأُفْنِيهِمْ.

And mine enemies — Thou givest to me the neck, Those hating me — and I cut them off.

٤٢ 42 يَتَطَلَّعُونَ فَلَيْسَ مُخَلِّصٌ، إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ فَلَا يَسْتَجِيبُهُمْ.

They look, and there is no saviour; Unto Jehovah, and He hath not answered them.

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

And I beat them as dust of the earth, As mire of the streets I beat them small — I spread them out!

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

And — Thou dost deliver me From the strivings of my people, Thou placest me for a head of nations; A people I have not known do serve me.

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

Sons of a stranger feign obedience to me, At the hearing of the ear they hearken to me.

٤٦ 46 بَنُو ٱلْغُرَبَاءِ يَبْلَوْنَ وَيَزْحَفُونَ مِنْ حُصُونِهِمْ.

Sons of a stranger fade away, And gird themselves by their close places.

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

Jehovah liveth, and blessed [is] my Rock, And exalted is my God — The Rock of my salvation.

٤٨ 48 ٱلْإِلَهُ ٱلْمُنْتَقِمُ لِي، وَٱلْمُخْضِعُ شُعُوبًا تَحْتِي،

God — who is giving vengeance to me, And bringing down peoples under me,

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

And bringing me forth from mine enemies, Yea, above my withstanders Thou raisest me up. From a man of violence Thou deliverest me.

٥٠ 50 لِذَلِكَ أَحْمَدُكَ يَارَبُّ فِي ٱلْأُمَمِ، وَلِٱسْمِكَ أُرَنِّمُ.

Therefore I confess Thee, O Jehovah, among nations. And to Thy name I sing praise.

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

Magnifying the salvations of His king, And doing loving-kindness to His anointed, To David, and to his seed — unto the age!'
