اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 105

١ 1 اِحْمَدُوا ٱلرَّبَّ. ٱدْعُوا بِٱسْمِهِ. عَرِّفُوا بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ بِأَعْمَالِهِ.

Give ye thanks unto Jehovah, call upon his name; make known his acts among the peoples.

٢ 2 غَنُّوا لَهُ. رَنِّمُوا لَهُ. أَنْشِدُوا بِكُلِّ عَجَائِبِهِ.

Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him; meditate upon all his wondrous works.

٣ 3 ٱفْتَخِرُوا بِٱسْمِهِ ٱلْقُدُّوسِ. لِتَفْرَحْ قُلُوبُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَلْتَمِسُونَ ٱلرَّبَّ.

Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek Jehovah.

٤ 4 اُطْلُبُوا ٱلرَّبَّ وَقُدْرَتَهُ. ٱلْتَمِسُوا وَجْهَهُ دَائِمًا.

Seek Jehovah and his strength, seek his face continually;

٥ 5 ٱذْكُرُوا عَجَائِبَهُ ٱلَّتِي صَنَعَ، آيَاتِهِ وَأَحْكَامَ فِيهِ،

Remember his wondrous works which he hath done, his miracles and the judgments of his mouth:

٦ 6 يَا ذُرِّيَّةَ إِبْراهِيمَ عَبْدِهِ، يَا بَنِي يَعْقُوبَ مُخْتَارِيهِ.

Ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye sons of Jacob, his chosen ones.

٧ 7 هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا فِي كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ أَحْكَامُهُ.

He, Jehovah, is our God; his judgments are in all the earth.

٨ 8 ذَكَرَ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ عَهْدَهُ، كَلَامًا أَوْصَى بِهِ إِلَى أَلْفِ دَوْرٍ،

He is ever mindful of his covenant, — the word which he commanded to a thousand generations, —

٩ 9 ٱلَّذِي عَاهَدَ بِهِ إِبْراهِيمَ، وَقَسَمَهُ لِإِسْحاقَ،

Which he made with Abraham, and of his oath unto Isaac;

١٠ 10 فَثَبَّتَهُ لِيَعْقُوبَ فَرِيضَةً، وَلِإِسْرَائِيلَ عَهْدًا أَبَدِيًّا،

And he confirmed it unto Jacob for a statute, unto Israel for an everlasting covenant,

١١ 11 قَائِلًا: «لَكَ أُعْطِي أَرْضَ كَنْعَانَ حَبْلَ مِيرَاثِكُمْ».

Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance;

١٢ 12 إِذْ كَانُوا عَدَدًا يُحْصَى، قَلِيلِينَ وَغُرَبَاءَ فِيهَا.

When they were a few men in number, of small account, and strangers in it.

١٣ 13 ذَهَبُوا مِنْ أُمَّةٍ إِلَى أُمَّةٍ، مِنْ مَمْلَكَةٍ إِلَى شَعْبٍ آخَرَ.

And they went from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people.

١٤ 14 فَلَمْ يَدَعْ إِنْسَانًا يَظْلِمُهُمْ، بَلْ وَبَّخَ مُلُوكًا مِنْ أَجْلِهِمْ،

He suffered no man to oppress them, and reproved kings for their sakes,

١٥ 15 قَائِلًا: «لَا تَمَسُّوا مُسَحَائِي، وَلَا تُسِيئُوا إِلَى أَنْبِيَائِي».

[Saying, ] Touch not mine anointed ones, and do my prophets no harm.

١٦ 16 دَعَا بِٱلْجُوعِ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ. كَسَرَ قِوَامَ ٱلْخُبْزِ كُلَّهُ.

And he called for a famine upon the land; he broke the whole staff of bread.

١٧ 17 أَرْسَلَ أَمَامَهُمْ رَجُلًا. بِيعَ يُوسُفُ عَبْدًا.

He sent a man before them: Joseph was sold for a bondman.

١٨ 18 آذَوْا بِٱلْقَيْدِ رِجْلَيْهِ. فِي ٱلْحَدِيدِ دَخَلَتْ نَفْسُهُ،

They afflicted his feet with fetters; his soul came into irons;

١٩ 19 إِلَى وَقْتِ مَجِيءِ كَلِمَتِهِ. قَوْلُ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱمْتَحَنَهُ.

Until the time when what he said came about: the word of Jehovah tried him.

٢٠ 20 أَرْسَلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ فَحَلَّهُ. أَرْسَلَ سُلْطَانُ ٱلشَّعْبِ فَأَطْلَقَهُ.

The king sent and loosed him — the ruler of peoples — and let him go free.

٢١ 21 أَقَامَهُ سَيِّدًا عَلَى بَيْتِهِ، وَمُسَلَّطًا عَلَى كُلِّ مُلْكِهِ،

He made him lord of his house, and ruler over all his possessions:

٢٢ 22 لِيَأْسُرَ رُؤَسَاءَهُ حَسَبَ إِرَادَتِهِ وَيُعَلِّمَ مَشَايِخَهُ حِكْمَةً.

To bind his princes at his pleasure, and teach his elders wisdom.

٢٣ 23 فَجَاءَ إِسْرَائِيلُ إِلَى مِصْرَ، وَيَعْقُوبُ تَغَرَّبَ فِي أَرْضِ حَامٍ.

And Israel came into Egypt, and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.

٢٤ 24 جَعَلَ شَعْبَهُ مُثْمِرًا جِدًّا، وَأَعَزَّهُ عَلَى أَعْدَائِهِ.

And he made his people exceeding fruitful, and made them mightier than their oppressors.

٢٥ 25 حَوَّلَ قُلُوبَهُمْ لِيُبْغِضُوا شَعْبَهُ، لِيَحْتَالُوا عَلَى عَبِيدِهِ.

He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants.

٢٦ 26 أَرْسَلَ مُوسَى عَبْدَهُ وَهارُونَ ٱلَّذِي ٱخْتَارَهُ.

He sent Moses his servant, [and] Aaron whom he had chosen:

٢٧ 27 أَقَامَا بَيْنَهُمْ كَلَامَ آيَاتِهِ، وَعَجَائِبَ فِي أَرْضِ حَامٍ.

They set his signs among them, and miracles in the land of Ham.

٢٨ 28 أَرْسَلَ ظُلْمَةً فَأَظْلَمَتْ، وَلَمْ يَعْصَوْا كَلَامَهُ.

He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word.

٢٩ 29 حَوَّلَ مِيَاهَهُمْ إِلَى دَمٍ وَقَتَلَ أَسْمَاكَهُمْ.

He turned their waters into blood, and caused their fish to die.

٣٠ 30 أَفَاضَتْ أَرْضُهُمْ ضَفَادِعَ حَتَّى فِي مَخَادِعِ مُلُوكِهِمْ.

Their land swarmed with frogs, — in the chambers of their kings.

٣١ 31 أَمَرَ فَجَاءَ ٱلذُّبَّانُ وَٱلْبَعُوضُ فِي كُلِّ تُخُومِهِمْ.

He spoke, and there came dog-flies, [and] gnats in all their borders.

٣٢ 32 جَعَلَ أَمْطَارَهُمْ بَرَدًا وَنَارًا مُلْتَهِبَةً فِي أَرْضِهِمْ.

He gave them hail for rain, [and] flaming fire in their land;

٣٣ 33 ضَرَبَ كُرُومَهُمْ وَتِينَهُمْ، وَكَسَّرَ كُلَّ أَشْجَارِ تُخُومِهِمْ.

And he smote their vines and their fig-trees, and broke the trees of their borders.

٣٤ 34 أَمَرَ فَجَاءَ ٱلْجَرَادُ وَغَوْغَاءُ بِلَا عَدَدٍ،

He spoke, and the locust came, and the cankerworm, even without number;

٣٥ 35 فَأَكَلَ كُلَّ عُشْبٍ فِي بِلَادِهِمْ، وَأَكَلَ أَثْمَارَ أَرْضِهِمْ.

And they devoured every herb in their land, and ate up the fruit of their ground.

٣٦ 36 قَتَلَ كُلَّ بِكْرٍ فِي أَرْضِهِمْ، أَوَائِلَ كُلِّ قُوَّتِهِمْ.

And he smote every firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of all their vigour.

٣٧ 37 فَأَخْرَجَهُمْ بِفِضَّةٍ وَذَهَبٍ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ فِي أَسْبَاطِهِمْ عَاثِرٌ.

And he brought them forth with silver and gold; and there was not one feeble among their tribes.

٣٨ 38 فَرِحَتْ مِصْرُ بِخُرُوجِهِمْ، لِأَنَّ رُعْبَهُمْ سَقَطَ عَلَيْهِمْ.

Egypt rejoiced at their departure; for the fear of them had fallen upon them.

٣٩ 39 بَسَطَ سَحَابًا سَجْفًا، وَنَارًا لِتُضِيءَ ٱللَّيْلَ.

He spread a cloud for a covering, and fire to give light in the night.

٤٠ 40 سَأَلُوا فَأَتَاهُمْ بِٱلسَّلْوَى، وَخُبْزَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ أَشْبَعَهُمْ.

They asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.

٤١ 41 شَقَّ ٱلصَّخْرَةَ فَٱنْفَجَرَتِ ٱلْمِيَاهُ. جَرَتْ فِي ٱلْيَابِسَةِ نَهْرًا.

He opened the rock, and waters gushed forth; they ran in the dry places [like] a river.

٤٢ 42 لِأَنَّهُ ذَكَرَ كَلِمَةَ قُدْسِهِ مَعَ إِبْراهِيمَ عَبْدِهِ،

For he remembered his holy word, [and] Abraham his servant;

٤٣ 43 فَأَخْرَجَ شَعْبَهُ بِٱبْتِهَاجٍ، وَمُخْتَارِيهِ بِتَرَنُّمٍ.

And he brought forth his people with gladness, his chosen with rejoicing;

٤٤ 44 وَأَعْطَاهُمْ أَرَاضِيَ ٱلْأُمَمِ، وَتَعَبَ ٱلشُّعُوبِ وَرِثُوهُ،

And he gave them the lands of the nations, and they took possession of the labour of the peoples:

٤٥ 45 لِكَيْ يَحْفَظُوا فَرَائِضَهُ وَيُطِيعُوا شَرَائِعَهُ. هَلِّلُويَا.

That they might keep his statutes, and observe his laws. Hallelujah!
