اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 105
| اِحْمَدُوا ٱلرَّبَّ. ٱدْعُوا بِٱسْمِهِ. عَرِّفُوا بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ بِأَعْمَالِهِ. | ١ 1 |
Give thanks to the Lord, call on his name: make known his deeds among the nations.
| غَنُّوا لَهُ. رَنِّمُوا لَهُ. أَنْشِدُوا بِكُلِّ عَجَائِبِهِ. | ٢ 2 |
Sing to him, make music to him, tell of all his wondrous works.
| ٱفْتَخِرُوا بِٱسْمِهِ ٱلْقُدُّوسِ. لِتَفْرَحْ قُلُوبُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَلْتَمِسُونَ ٱلرَّبَّ. | ٣ 3 |
Make your boast in his holy name, be glad at heart, you who seek the Lord.
| اُطْلُبُوا ٱلرَّبَّ وَقُدْرَتَهُ. ٱلْتَمِسُوا وَجْهَهُ دَائِمًا. | ٤ 4 |
Seek after the Lord and his strength, seek his face evermore.
| ٱذْكُرُوا عَجَائِبَهُ ٱلَّتِي صَنَعَ، آيَاتِهِ وَأَحْكَامَ فِيهِ، | ٥ 5 |
Remember the wonders he did, his portents, the judgments he uttered,
| يَا ذُرِّيَّةَ إِبْراهِيمَ عَبْدِهِ، يَا بَنِي يَعْقُوبَ مُخْتَارِيهِ. | ٦ 6 |
you who are offspring of Abraham, his servant, the children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
| هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا فِي كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ أَحْكَامُهُ. | ٧ 7 |
He is the Lord our God: in all the earth are his judgments.
| ذَكَرَ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ عَهْدَهُ، كَلَامًا أَوْصَى بِهِ إِلَى أَلْفِ دَوْرٍ، | ٨ 8 |
He remembers forever his covenant, his promise for a thousand generations
| ٱلَّذِي عَاهَدَ بِهِ إِبْراهِيمَ، وَقَسَمَهُ لِإِسْحاقَ، | ٩ 9 |
The covenant he made with Abraham, the oath he swore to Isaac,
| فَثَبَّتَهُ لِيَعْقُوبَ فَرِيضَةً، وَلِإِسْرَائِيلَ عَهْدًا أَبَدِيًّا، | ١٠ 10 |
and confirmed as a statute to Jacob, a pact everlasting to Israel
| قَائِلًا: «لَكَ أُعْطِي أَرْضَ كَنْعَانَ حَبْلَ مِيرَاثِكُمْ». | ١١ 11 |
to give them the land of Canaan as the lot which they should inherit.
| إِذْ كَانُوا عَدَدًا يُحْصَى، قَلِيلِينَ وَغُرَبَاءَ فِيهَا. | ١٢ 12 |
And when they were very few, few and but pilgrims therein,
| ذَهَبُوا مِنْ أُمَّةٍ إِلَى أُمَّةٍ، مِنْ مَمْلَكَةٍ إِلَى شَعْبٍ آخَرَ. | ١٣ 13 |
wandering from nation to nation, journeying from people to people,
| فَلَمْ يَدَعْ إِنْسَانًا يَظْلِمُهُمْ، بَلْ وَبَّخَ مُلُوكًا مِنْ أَجْلِهِمْ، | ١٤ 14 |
he allowed no one to oppress them, even punishing kings for their sakes.
| قَائِلًا: «لَا تَمَسُّوا مُسَحَائِي، وَلَا تُسِيئُوا إِلَى أَنْبِيَائِي». | ١٥ 15 |
He forbade them to touch his anointed, or do any hurt to his prophets.
| دَعَا بِٱلْجُوعِ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ. كَسَرَ قِوَامَ ٱلْخُبْزِ كُلَّهُ. | ١٦ 16 |
When he called down famine on the land, and cut off the bread which sustained them,
| أَرْسَلَ أَمَامَهُمْ رَجُلًا. بِيعَ يُوسُفُ عَبْدًا. | ١٧ 17 |
he sent before them a man, Joseph, who was sold as a slave.
| آذَوْا بِٱلْقَيْدِ رِجْلَيْهِ. فِي ٱلْحَدِيدِ دَخَلَتْ نَفْسُهُ، | ١٨ 18 |
His feet were galled with fetters, he was laid in chains of iron,
| إِلَى وَقْتِ مَجِيءِ كَلِمَتِهِ. قَوْلُ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱمْتَحَنَهُ. | ١٩ 19 |
till the time that his word came to pass, the word of the Lord that had tried him.
| أَرْسَلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ فَحَلَّهُ. أَرْسَلَ سُلْطَانُ ٱلشَّعْبِ فَأَطْلَقَهُ. | ٢٠ 20 |
The king sent and freed him, the ruler of nations released him.
| أَقَامَهُ سَيِّدًا عَلَى بَيْتِهِ، وَمُسَلَّطًا عَلَى كُلِّ مُلْكِهِ، | ٢١ 21 |
He made him lord of his household, and ruler of all his possessions,
| لِيَأْسُرَ رُؤَسَاءَهُ حَسَبَ إِرَادَتِهِ وَيُعَلِّمَ مَشَايِخَهُ حِكْمَةً. | ٢٢ 22 |
to admonish his princes at will and instruct his elders in wisdom.
| فَجَاءَ إِسْرَائِيلُ إِلَى مِصْرَ، وَيَعْقُوبُ تَغَرَّبَ فِي أَرْضِ حَامٍ. | ٢٣ 23 |
Thus Israel came into Egypt, Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
| جَعَلَ شَعْبَهُ مُثْمِرًا جِدًّا، وَأَعَزَّهُ عَلَى أَعْدَائِهِ. | ٢٤ 24 |
His people he made very fruitful, and mightier than their foes.
| حَوَّلَ قُلُوبَهُمْ لِيُبْغِضُوا شَعْبَهُ، لِيَحْتَالُوا عَلَى عَبِيدِهِ. | ٢٥ 25 |
He inspired them to hate his people, and to deal with his servants craftily.
| أَرْسَلَ مُوسَى عَبْدَهُ وَهارُونَ ٱلَّذِي ٱخْتَارَهُ. | ٢٦ 26 |
He sent his servant Moses, and Aaron whom he had chosen,
| أَقَامَا بَيْنَهُمْ كَلَامَ آيَاتِهِ، وَعَجَائِبَ فِي أَرْضِ حَامٍ. | ٢٧ 27 |
portents he wrought in Egypt, and signs in the land of Ham.
| أَرْسَلَ ظُلْمَةً فَأَظْلَمَتْ، وَلَمْ يَعْصَوْا كَلَامَهُ. | ٢٨ 28 |
Darkness he sent, and it fell: yet they gave no heed to his word.
| حَوَّلَ مِيَاهَهُمْ إِلَى دَمٍ وَقَتَلَ أَسْمَاكَهُمْ. | ٢٩ 29 |
He turned their waters into blood, thus causing their fish to die.
| أَفَاضَتْ أَرْضُهُمْ ضَفَادِعَ حَتَّى فِي مَخَادِعِ مُلُوكِهِمْ. | ٣٠ 30 |
Their land was alive with frogs, swarming even in the royal chambers.
| أَمَرَ فَجَاءَ ٱلذُّبَّانُ وَٱلْبَعُوضُ فِي كُلِّ تُخُومِهِمْ. | ٣١ 31 |
At his command came flies, and lice in all their borders.
| جَعَلَ أَمْطَارَهُمْ بَرَدًا وَنَارًا مُلْتَهِبَةً فِي أَرْضِهِمْ. | ٣٢ 32 |
He gave them hail for rain and fire that flashed through the land,
| ضَرَبَ كُرُومَهُمْ وَتِينَهُمْ، وَكَسَّرَ كُلَّ أَشْجَارِ تُخُومِهِمْ. | ٣٣ 33 |
smiting their vines and figs, breaking the trees of their border.
| أَمَرَ فَجَاءَ ٱلْجَرَادُ وَغَوْغَاءُ بِلَا عَدَدٍ، | ٣٤ 34 |
At his command came locusts, young locusts beyond all counting,
| فَأَكَلَ كُلَّ عُشْبٍ فِي بِلَادِهِمْ، وَأَكَلَ أَثْمَارَ أَرْضِهِمْ. | ٣٥ 35 |
which ate every herb in the land, ate up, too, the fruit of their ground.
| قَتَلَ كُلَّ بِكْرٍ فِي أَرْضِهِمْ، أَوَائِلَ كُلِّ قُوَّتِهِمْ. | ٣٦ 36 |
He struck down in their land all the firstborn, the firstlings of all their strength
| فَأَخْرَجَهُمْ بِفِضَّةٍ وَذَهَبٍ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ فِي أَسْبَاطِهِمْ عَاثِرٌ. | ٣٧ 37 |
Then forth he led Israel with silver and gold, and among his tribes no one was weary.
| فَرِحَتْ مِصْرُ بِخُرُوجِهِمْ، لِأَنَّ رُعْبَهُمْ سَقَطَ عَلَيْهِمْ. | ٣٨ 38 |
Egypt was glad when they left, for terror had fallen upon them.
| بَسَطَ سَحَابًا سَجْفًا، وَنَارًا لِتُضِيءَ ٱللَّيْلَ. | ٣٩ 39 |
He spread out a cloud to screen them, and fire to give light in the night.
| سَأَلُوا فَأَتَاهُمْ بِٱلسَّلْوَى، وَخُبْزَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ أَشْبَعَهُمْ. | ٤٠ 40 |
He sent quails at their entreaty, and heavenly bread in abundance.
| شَقَّ ٱلصَّخْرَةَ فَٱنْفَجَرَتِ ٱلْمِيَاهُ. جَرَتْ فِي ٱلْيَابِسَةِ نَهْرًا. | ٤١ 41 |
He opened the rock; waters gushed: in the desert they ran like a river.
| لِأَنَّهُ ذَكَرَ كَلِمَةَ قُدْسِهِ مَعَ إِبْراهِيمَ عَبْدِهِ، | ٤٢ 42 |
For he remembered his holy promise to Abraham his servant.
| فَأَخْرَجَ شَعْبَهُ بِٱبْتِهَاجٍ، وَمُخْتَارِيهِ بِتَرَنُّمٍ. | ٤٣ 43 |
So he led out his people with joy, his elect with a ringing cry.
| وَأَعْطَاهُمْ أَرَاضِيَ ٱلْأُمَمِ، وَتَعَبَ ٱلشُّعُوبِ وَرِثُوهُ، | ٤٤ 44 |
And he gave them the lands of the nations, the fruit of their toil for possession,
| لِكَيْ يَحْفَظُوا فَرَائِضَهُ وَيُطِيعُوا شَرَائِعَهُ. هَلِّلُويَا. | ٤٥ 45 |
that so they might keep his statutes, and be of his laws observant. Hallelujah.
