اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 106
| هَلِّلُويَا. اِحْمَدُوا ٱلرَّبَّ لِأَنَّهُ صَالِحٌ، لِأَنَّ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ رَحْمَتَهُ. | ١ 1 |
Praise Yahweh. Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, for his covenant faithfulness endures forever.
| مَنْ يَتَكَلَّمُ بِجَبَرُوتِ ٱلرَّبِّ؟ مَنْ يُخْبِرُ بِكُلِّ تَسَابِيحِهِ؟ | ٢ 2 |
Who can recount the mighty acts of Yahweh or proclaim in full all his praiseworthy deeds?
| طُوبَى لِلْحَافِظِينَ ٱلْحَقَّ وَلِلصَّانِعِ ٱلْبِرَّ فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ. | ٣ 3 |
Blessed are those who do what is right, and whose deeds are always just.
| ٱذْكُرْنِي يَارَبُّ بِرِضَا شَعْبِكَ. تَعَهَّدْنِي بِخَلَاصِكَ، | ٤ 4 |
Call me to mind, Yahweh, when you show favor to your people; help me when you save them.
| لِأَرَى خَيْرَ مُخْتَارِيكَ. لِأَفْرَحَ بِفَرَحِ أُمَّتِكَ. لِأَفْتَخِرَ مَعَ مِيرَاثِكَ. | ٥ 5 |
Then I will see the prosperity of your chosen, rejoice in the gladness of your nation, and glory with your inheritance.
| أَخْطَأْنَا مَعَ آبَائِنَا. أَسَأْنَا وَأَذْنَبْنَا. | ٦ 6 |
We have sinned like our ancestors; we have done wrong, and we have done evil.
| آبَاؤُنَا فِي مِصْرَ لَمْ يَفْهَمُوا عَجَائِبَكَ. لَمْ يَذْكُرُوا كَثْرَةَ مَرَاحِمِكَ، فَتَمَرَّدُوا عِنْدَ ٱلْبَحْرِ، عِنْدَ بَحْرِ سُوفٍ. | ٧ 7 |
Our fathers did not appreciate your marvelous deeds in Egypt; they ignored your many acts of covenant faithfulness; they were rebellious at the sea, the Sea of Reeds.
| فَخَلَّصَهُمْ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱسْمِهِ، لِيُعَرِّفَ بِجَبَرُوتِهِ. | ٨ 8 |
Nevertheless, he saved them for his name's sake so that he might reveal his power.
| وَٱنْتَهَرَ بَحْرَ سُوفٍ فَيَبِسَ، وَسَيَّرَهُمْ فِي ٱللُّجَجِ كَٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ. | ٩ 9 |
He rebuked the Sea of Reeds, and it dried up. Then he led them through the depths, as through a wilderness.
| وَخَلَّصَهُمْ مِنْ يَدِ ٱلْمُبْغِضِ، وَفَدَاهُمْ مِنْ يَدِ ٱلْعَدُوِّ. | ١٠ 10 |
He saved them from the hand of those who hated them, and he rescued them from the hand of the enemy.
| وَغَطَّتِ ٱلْمِيَاهُ مُضَايِقِيهِمْ. وَاحِدٌ مِنْهُمْ لَمْ يَبْقَ. | ١١ 11 |
But the waters covered their adversaries; not one of them survived.
| فَآمَنُوا بِكَلَامِهِ. غَنَّوْا بِتَسْبِيحِهِ. | ١٢ 12 |
Then they believed his words, and they sang his praise.
| أَسْرَعُوا فَنَسُوا أَعْمَالَهُ. لَمْ يَنْتَظِرُوا مَشُورَتَهُ. | ١٣ 13 |
But they quickly forgot what he had done; they did not wait for his instructions.
| بَلِ ٱشْتَهَوْا شَهْوَةً فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ، وَجَرَّبُوا ٱللهَ فِي ٱلْقَفْرِ. | ١٤ 14 |
They had insatiable cravings in the wilderness, and they challenged God in the desert.
| فَأَعْطَاهُمْ سُؤْلَهُمْ، وَأَرْسَلَ هُزَالًا فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ. | ١٥ 15 |
So he gave them what they requested, but he sent a horrible disease upon them.
| وَحَسَدُوا مُوسَى فِي ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ، وَهارُونَ قُدُّوسَ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ١٦ 16 |
In the camp they became jealous of Moses and Aaron, the holy priest of Yahweh.
| فَتَحَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَٱبْتَلَعَتْ دَاثَانَ، وَطَبَقَتْ عَلَى جَمَاعَةِ أَبِيرَامَ، | ١٧ 17 |
The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan and covered the followers of Abiram.
| وَٱشْتَعَلَتْ نَارٌ فِي جَمَاعَتِهِمْ. ٱللَّهِيبُ أَحْرَقَ ٱلْأَشْرَارَ. | ١٨ 18 |
Fire broke out among them; the fire consumed the wicked.
| صَنَعُوا عِجْلًا فِي حُورِيبَ، وَسَجَدُوا لِتِمْثَالٍ مَسْبُوكٍ، | ١٩ 19 |
They made a calf at Horeb and worshiped a cast metal figure.
| وَأَبْدَلُوا مَجْدَهُمْ بِمِثَالِ ثَوْرٍ آكِلِ عُشْبٍ. | ٢٠ 20 |
They traded the glory of God for the image of a bull that eats grass.
| نَسُوا ٱللهَ مُخَلِّصَهُمُ، ٱلصَّانِعَ عَظَائِمَ فِي مِصْرَ، | ٢١ 21 |
They forgot God their Savior, who had done great deeds in Egypt.
| وَعَجَائِبَ فِي أَرْضِ حَامٍ، وَمَخَاوِفَ عَلَى بَحْرِ سُوفٍ، | ٢٢ 22 |
He had done wonderful things in the land of Ham and mighty acts at the Sea of Reeds.
| فَقَالَ بِإِهْلَاكِهِمْ. لَوْلَا مُوسَى مُخْتَارُهُ وَقَفَ فِي ٱلثَّغْرِ قُدَّامَهُ لِيَصْرِفَ غَضَبَهُ عَنْ إِتْلَافِهِمْ. | ٢٣ 23 |
So he said he would destroy them— had not Moses, his chosen one, stood in the breach before him, to turn away his anger from destroying them.
| وَرَذَلُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلشَّهِيَّةَ. لَمْ يُؤْمِنُوا بِكَلِمَتِهِ. | ٢٤ 24 |
Then they despised the fruitful land; they did not believe his promise,
| بَلْ تَمَرْمَرُوا فِي خِيَامِهِمْ. لَمْ يَسْمَعُوا لِصَوْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ، | ٢٥ 25 |
but grumbled in their tents, and did not obey Yahweh.
| فَرَفَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَيْهِمْ لِيُسْقِطَهُمْ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ، | ٢٦ 26 |
Therefore he raised his hand and swore to them that he would let them die in the desert,
| وَلِيُسْقِطَ نَسْلَهُمْ بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ، وَلِيُبَدِّدَهُمْ فِي ٱلْأَرَاضِي. | ٢٧ 27 |
scatter their descendants among the nations, and scatter them in foreign lands.
| وَتَعَلَّقُوا بِبَعْلِ فَغُورَ، وَأَكَلُوا ذَبَائِحَ ٱلْمَوْتَى. | ٢٨ 28 |
They worshiped the Baal of Peor and ate the sacrifices offered to the dead.
| وَأَغَاظُوهُ بِأَعْمَالِهِمْ فَٱقْتَحَمَهُمُ ٱلْوَبَأُ. | ٢٩ 29 |
They provoked him to anger with their actions, and a plague broke out among them.
| فَوَقَفَ فِينَحَاسُ وَدَانَ، فَٱمْتَنَعَ ٱلْوَبَأُ. | ٣٠ 30 |
Then Phinehas rose to intervene, and the plague subsided.
| فَحُسِبَ لَهُ ذَلِكَ بِرًّا إِلَى دَوْرٍ فَدَوْرٍ، إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. | ٣١ 31 |
It was counted to him as a righteous deed to all generations forever.
| وَأَسْخَطُوهُ عَلَى مَاءِ مَرِيبَةَ حَتَّى تَأَذَّى مُوسَى بِسَبَبِهِمْ. | ٣٢ 32 |
They also angered Yahweh at the waters of Meribah, and Moses suffered because of them.
| لِأَنَّهُمْ أَمَرُّوا رُوحَهُ حَتَّى فَرَطَ بِشَفَتَيْهِ. | ٣٣ 33 |
They made Moses bitter, and he spoke rashly.
| لَمْ يَسْتَأْصِلُوا ٱلْأُمَمَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالَ لَهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ عَنْهُمْ، | ٣٤ 34 |
They did not destroy the nations as Yahweh had commanded them,
| بَلِ ٱخْتَلَطُوا بِٱلْأُمَمِ وَتَعَلَّمُوا أَعْمَالَهُمْ. | ٣٥ 35 |
but they mingled with the nations and learned their ways
| وَعَبَدُوا أَصْنَامَهُمْ، فَصَارَتْ لَهُمْ شَرَكًا. | ٣٦ 36 |
and worshiped their idols, which became a snare to them.
| وَذَبَحُوا بَنِيهِمْ وَبَنَاتِهِمْ لِلْأَوْثَانِ. | ٣٧ 37 |
They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons.
| وَأَهْرَقُوا دَمًا زَكِيًّا، دَمَ بَنِيهِمْ وَبَنَاتِهِمِ ٱلَّذِينَ ذَبَحُوهُمْ لِأَصْنَامِ كَنْعَانَ، وَتَدَنَّسَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ بِٱلدِّمَاءِ. | ٣٨ 38 |
They shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, desecrating the land with blood.
| وَتَنَجَّسُوا بِأَعْمَالِهِمْ وَزَنَوْا بِأَفْعَالِهِمْ. | ٣٩ 39 |
They were defiled by their deeds; in their actions they were like prostitutes.
| فَحَمِيَ غَضَبُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى شَعْبِهِ، وَكَرِهَ مِيرَاثَهُ. | ٤٠ 40 |
So Yahweh was angry with his people, and he despised his own people.
| وَأَسْلَمَهُمْ لِيَدِ ٱلْأُمَمِ، وَتَسَلَّطَ عَلَيْهِمْ مُبْغِضُوهُمْ. | ٤١ 41 |
He gave them into the hand of the nations, and those who hated them ruled over them.
| وَضَغَطَهُمْ أَعْدَاؤُهُمْ، فَذَلُّوا تَحْتَ يَدِهِمْ. | ٤٢ 42 |
Their enemies oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection to their authority.
| مَرَّاتٍ كَثِيرَةً أَنْقَذَهُمْ، أَمَّا هُمْ فَعَصَوْهُ بِمَشُورَتِهِمْ وَٱنْحَطُّوا بِإِثْمِهِمْ. | ٤٣ 43 |
Many times he came to help them, but they kept rebelling and were brought low by their own sin.
| فَنَظَرَ إِلَى ضِيقِهِمْ إِذْ سَمِعَ صُرَاخَهُمْ. | ٤٤ 44 |
Nevertheless, he paid attention to their distress when he heard their cry for help.
| وَذَكَرَ لَهُمْ عَهْدَهُ، وَنَدِمَ حَسَبَ كَثْرَةِ رَحْمَتِهِ. | ٤٥ 45 |
He called to mind his covenant with them and relented because of his steadfast love.
| وَأَعْطَاهُمْ نِعْمَةً قُدَّامَ كُلِّ ٱلَّذِينَ سَبَوْهُمْ. | ٤٦ 46 |
He caused all their conquerers to have pity on them.
| خَلِّصْنَا أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا، وَٱجْمَعْنَا مِنْ بَيْنِ ٱلْأُمَمِ، لِنَحْمَدَ ٱسْمَ قُدْسِكَ، وَنَتَفَاخَرَ بِتَسْبِيحِكَ. | ٤٧ 47 |
Save us, Yahweh, our God. Gather us from among the nations so that we may give thanks to your holy name and glory in your praises.
| مُبَارَكٌ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنَ ٱلْأَزَلِ وَإِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. وَيَقُولُ كُلُّ ٱلشَّعْبِ: «آمِينَ». هَلِّلُويَا. | ٤٨ 48 |
May Yahweh, the God of Israel, be praised from everlasting to everlasting. All the people said, “Amen.” Praise Yahweh.
