اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 106

١ 1 هَلِّلُويَا. اِحْمَدُوا ٱلرَّبَّ لِأَنَّهُ صَالِحٌ، لِأَنَّ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ رَحْمَتَهُ.

Praise ye Yah, Give ye thanks to Yahweh—For he is good, For age-abiding, is his lovingkindness.

٢ 2 مَنْ يَتَكَلَّمُ بِجَبَرُوتِ ٱلرَّبِّ؟ مَنْ يُخْبِرُ بِكُلِّ تَسَابِيحِهِ؟

Who can relate the mighty deeds of Yahweh? can cause to be heard, all his praise?

٣ 3 طُوبَى لِلْحَافِظِينَ ٱلْحَقَّ وَلِلصَّانِعِ ٱلْبِرَّ فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ.

How happy! They who observe justice, He that executeth righteousness at all times.

٤ 4 ٱذْكُرْنِي يَارَبُّ بِرِضَا شَعْبِكَ. تَعَهَّدْنِي بِخَلَاصِكَ،

Remember me, O Yahweh, when thou acceptest thy people, Visit me, with thy salvation;

٥ 5 لِأَرَى خَيْرَ مُخْتَارِيكَ. لِأَفْرَحَ بِفَرَحِ أُمَّتِكَ. لِأَفْتَخِرَ مَعَ مِيرَاثِكَ.

That I may look upon the welfare of thy chosen ones, That I may rejoice in the joy of thy nation, That I may glory, with thine inheritance.

٦ 6 أَخْطَأْنَا مَعَ آبَائِنَا. أَسَأْنَا وَأَذْنَبْنَا.

We have sinned—with our fathers, We have acted perversely, we have committed lawlessness;

٧ 7 آبَاؤُنَا فِي مِصْرَ لَمْ يَفْهَمُوا عَجَائِبَكَ. لَمْ يَذْكُرُوا كَثْرَةَ مَرَاحِمِكَ، فَتَمَرَّدُوا عِنْدَ ٱلْبَحْرِ، عِنْدَ بَحْرِ سُوفٍ.

Our fathers, in Egypt, understood not thy wonders, They remembered not the abounding of thy lovingkindnesses, but rebelled by the sea—at the Red Sea.

٨ 8 فَخَلَّصَهُمْ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱسْمِهِ، لِيُعَرِّفَ بِجَبَرُوتِهِ.

Yet he saved them, for the sake of his Name, to make known his mighty power;

٩ 9 وَٱنْتَهَرَ بَحْرَ سُوفٍ فَيَبِسَ، وَسَيَّرَهُمْ فِي ٱللُّجَجِ كَٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ.

So he rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up, And he led them through deeps, as pasture-land;

١٠ 10 وَخَلَّصَهُمْ مِنْ يَدِ ٱلْمُبْغِضِ، وَفَدَاهُمْ مِنْ يَدِ ٱلْعَدُوِّ.

And saved them from the hand of one full of hatred, And redeemed them out of the hand of the foe;

١١ 11 وَغَطَّتِ ٱلْمِيَاهُ مُضَايِقِيهِمْ. وَاحِدٌ مِنْهُمْ لَمْ يَبْقَ.

So the waters covered their adversaries, Not one from among them, was left.

١٢ 12 فَآمَنُوا بِكَلَامِهِ. غَنَّوْا بِتَسْبِيحِهِ.

They believed therefore in his words, They sang his praise.

١٣ 13 أَسْرَعُوا فَنَسُوا أَعْمَالَهُ. لَمْ يَنْتَظِرُوا مَشُورَتَهُ.

Soon forgat they his works, —They waited not for his counsel;

١٤ 14 بَلِ ٱشْتَهَوْا شَهْوَةً فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ، وَجَرَّبُوا ٱللهَ فِي ٱلْقَفْرِ.

But lusted a lust in the desert, and tested GOD in the waste.

١٥ 15 فَأَعْطَاهُمْ سُؤْلَهُمْ، وَأَرْسَلَ هُزَالًا فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ.

So he gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul.

١٦ 16 وَحَسَدُوا مُوسَى فِي ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ، وَهارُونَ قُدُّوسَ ٱلرَّبِّ.

And they became jealous of Moses in the camp, —of Aaron the holy one of Yahweh;

١٧ 17 فَتَحَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَٱبْتَلَعَتْ دَاثَانَ، وَطَبَقَتْ عَلَى جَمَاعَةِ أَبِيرَامَ،

The earth opened and engulfed Dathan, and covered up the assembly of Abiram;

١٨ 18 وَٱشْتَعَلَتْ نَارٌ فِي جَمَاعَتِهِمْ. ٱللَّهِيبُ أَحْرَقَ ٱلْأَشْرَارَ.

Then was kindled a fire in their assembly, —a flame, consumed the lawless ones.

١٩ 19 صَنَعُوا عِجْلًا فِي حُورِيبَ، وَسَجَدُوا لِتِمْثَالٍ مَسْبُوكٍ،

They made a calf in Horeb, —and bowed down to a molten image;

٢٠ 20 وَأَبْدَلُوا مَجْدَهُمْ بِمِثَالِ ثَوْرٍ آكِلِ عُشْبٍ.

Thus changed they my glory, for the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.

٢١ 21 نَسُوا ٱللهَ مُخَلِّصَهُمُ، ٱلصَّانِعَ عَظَائِمَ فِي مِصْرَ،

They forgat GOD their saviour, who had done great things in Egypt:

٢٢ 22 وَعَجَائِبَ فِي أَرْضِ حَامٍ، وَمَخَاوِفَ عَلَى بَحْرِ سُوفٍ،

Wonders in the land of Ham, Terrible things by the Red Sea.

٢٣ 23 فَقَالَ بِإِهْلَاكِهِمْ. لَوْلَا مُوسَى مُخْتَارُهُ وَقَفَ فِي ٱلثَّغْرِ قُدَّامَهُ لِيَصْرِفَ غَضَبَهُ عَنْ إِتْلَافِهِمْ.

Then would he have bidden to destroy them, —had not Moses his chosen, stood in the breach before him, To turn back his wrath from destroying.

٢٤ 24 وَرَذَلُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلشَّهِيَّةَ. لَمْ يُؤْمِنُوا بِكَلِمَتِهِ.

And they refused the delightful land, They believed not his word;

٢٥ 25 بَلْ تَمَرْمَرُوا فِي خِيَامِهِمْ. لَمْ يَسْمَعُوا لِصَوْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ،

But murmured in their tents, —They hearkened not unto the voice of Yahweh.

٢٦ 26 فَرَفَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَيْهِمْ لِيُسْقِطَهُمْ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ،

So he lifted up his hand unto them, that he would let them fall in the desert;

٢٧ 27 وَلِيُسْقِطَ نَسْلَهُمْ بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ، وَلِيُبَدِّدَهُمْ فِي ٱلْأَرَاضِي.

And would disperse their seed among the nations, and would scatter them throughout the lands.

٢٨ 28 وَتَعَلَّقُوا بِبَعْلِ فَغُورَ، وَأَكَلُوا ذَبَائِحَ ٱلْمَوْتَى.

Yet they let themselves be bound to Baal-peor, —and did eat sacrifices to the dead:

٢٩ 29 وَأَغَاظُوهُ بِأَعْمَالِهِمْ فَٱقْتَحَمَهُمُ ٱلْوَبَأُ.

So they provoked to anger by their doings, and a plague, made a breach among them.

٣٠ 30 فَوَقَفَ فِينَحَاسُ وَدَانَ، فَٱمْتَنَعَ ٱلْوَبَأُ.

Then stood up Phinehas, and interposed, and stayed was the plague:

٣١ 31 فَحُسِبَ لَهُ ذَلِكَ بِرًّا إِلَى دَوْرٍ فَدَوْرٍ، إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ.

So it was counted unto him, for righteousness, To generation after generation, unto times age abiding.

٣٢ 32 وَأَسْخَطُوهُ عَلَى مَاءِ مَرِيبَةَ حَتَّى تَأَذَّى مُوسَى بِسَبَبِهِمْ.

And they provoked by the waters of Meribah, —And it fared ill with Moses, for their sakes;

٣٣ 33 لِأَنَّهُمْ أَمَرُّوا رُوحَهُ حَتَّى فَرَطَ بِشَفَتَيْهِ.

For they embittered his spirit, and he spake rashly with his lips.

٣٤ 34 لَمْ يَسْتَأْصِلُوا ٱلْأُمَمَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالَ لَهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ عَنْهُمْ،

They destroyed not the peoples of which Yahweh had spoken to them;

٣٥ 35 بَلِ ٱخْتَلَطُوا بِٱلْأُمَمِ وَتَعَلَّمُوا أَعْمَالَهُمْ.

But had fellowship with the nations, and learned their doings;

٣٦ 36 وَعَبَدُوا أَصْنَامَهُمْ، فَصَارَتْ لَهُمْ شَرَكًا.

Yea they served their idols, and they became to them a snare:

٣٧ 37 وَذَبَحُوا بَنِيهِمْ وَبَنَاتِهِمْ لِلْأَوْثَانِ.

Yea they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to mischievous demons;

٣٨ 38 وَأَهْرَقُوا دَمًا زَكِيًّا، دَمَ بَنِيهِمْ وَبَنَاتِهِمِ ٱلَّذِينَ ذَبَحُوهُمْ لِأَصْنَامِ كَنْعَانَ، وَتَدَنَّسَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ بِٱلدِّمَاءِ.

And poured out innocent blood, the blood of their sons and their daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, And the land was polluted with blood-shed;

٣٩ 39 وَتَنَجَّسُوا بِأَعْمَالِهِمْ وَزَنَوْا بِأَفْعَالِهِمْ.

And they became unclean by their works, and became unchaste in their doings.

٤٠ 40 فَحَمِيَ غَضَبُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى شَعْبِهِ، وَكَرِهَ مِيرَاثَهُ.

Then was kindled the anger of Yahweh with his people, and he abhorred his own inheritance.

٤١ 41 وَأَسْلَمَهُمْ لِيَدِ ٱلْأُمَمِ، وَتَسَلَّطَ عَلَيْهِمْ مُبْغِضُوهُمْ.

So he delivered them up into the hand of the nations, And they who hated them, had dominion over them;

٤٢ 42 وَضَغَطَهُمْ أَعْدَاؤُهُمْ، فَذَلُّوا تَحْتَ يَدِهِمْ.

And their enemies oppressed them, And they were bowed down under their hand.

٤٣ 43 مَرَّاتٍ كَثِيرَةً أَنْقَذَهُمْ، أَمَّا هُمْ فَعَصَوْهُ بِمَشُورَتِهِمْ وَٱنْحَطُّوا بِإِثْمِهِمْ.

Many times, did he rescue them, —But, they, rebelled by their counsel, and sank low in their iniquity.

٤٤ 44 فَنَظَرَ إِلَى ضِيقِهِمْ إِذْ سَمِعَ صُرَاخَهُمْ.

Then looked he on the distress which befell them, —when he heard their loud cry;

٤٥ 45 وَذَكَرَ لَهُمْ عَهْدَهُ، وَنَدِمَ حَسَبَ كَثْرَةِ رَحْمَتِهِ.

Then remembered he, for them, his covenant, and was moved to pity, according to the abounding of his lovingkindnesses;

٤٦ 46 وَأَعْطَاهُمْ نِعْمَةً قُدَّامَ كُلِّ ٱلَّذِينَ سَبَوْهُمْ.

And granted them compassion before all their captors.

٤٧ 47 خَلِّصْنَا أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا، وَٱجْمَعْنَا مِنْ بَيْنِ ٱلْأُمَمِ، لِنَحْمَدَ ٱسْمَ قُدْسِكَ، وَنَتَفَاخَرَ بِتَسْبِيحِكَ.

Save us, O Yahweh our God, and gather us from among the nations, That we may give thanks unto thy holy Name, That we may triumph aloud in thy praise.

٤٨ 48 مُبَارَكٌ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنَ ٱلْأَزَلِ وَإِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. وَيَقُولُ كُلُّ ٱلشَّعْبِ: «آمِينَ». هَلِّلُويَا.

Blessed be Yahweh, God of Israel, from one age even unto another, And all the people, shall say, Amen! Praise ye Yah!
