اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 106
| هَلِّلُويَا. اِحْمَدُوا ٱلرَّبَّ لِأَنَّهُ صَالِحٌ، لِأَنَّ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ رَحْمَتَهُ. | ١ 1 |
Praise the LORD! Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.
| مَنْ يَتَكَلَّمُ بِجَبَرُوتِ ٱلرَّبِّ؟ مَنْ يُخْبِرُ بِكُلِّ تَسَابِيحِهِ؟ | ٢ 2 |
Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD, or fully declare all his praise?
| طُوبَى لِلْحَافِظِينَ ٱلْحَقَّ وَلِلصَّانِعِ ٱلْبِرَّ فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ. | ٣ 3 |
Blessed are those who keep justice. Blessed is one who does what is right at all times.
| ٱذْكُرْنِي يَارَبُّ بِرِضَا شَعْبِكَ. تَعَهَّدْنِي بِخَلَاصِكَ، | ٤ 4 |
Remember me, LORD, with the favour that you show to your people. Visit me with your salvation,
| لِأَرَى خَيْرَ مُخْتَارِيكَ. لِأَفْرَحَ بِفَرَحِ أُمَّتِكَ. لِأَفْتَخِرَ مَعَ مِيرَاثِكَ. | ٥ 5 |
that I may see the prosperity of your chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of your nation, that I may glory with your inheritance.
| أَخْطَأْنَا مَعَ آبَائِنَا. أَسَأْنَا وَأَذْنَبْنَا. | ٦ 6 |
We have sinned with our fathers. We have committed iniquity. We have done wickedly.
| آبَاؤُنَا فِي مِصْرَ لَمْ يَفْهَمُوا عَجَائِبَكَ. لَمْ يَذْكُرُوا كَثْرَةَ مَرَاحِمِكَ، فَتَمَرَّدُوا عِنْدَ ٱلْبَحْرِ، عِنْدَ بَحْرِ سُوفٍ. | ٧ 7 |
Our fathers didn’t understand your wonders in Egypt. They didn’t remember the multitude of your loving kindnesses, but were rebellious at the sea, even at the Red Sea.
| فَخَلَّصَهُمْ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱسْمِهِ، لِيُعَرِّفَ بِجَبَرُوتِهِ. | ٨ 8 |
Nevertheless he saved them for his name’s sake, that he might make his mighty power known.
| وَٱنْتَهَرَ بَحْرَ سُوفٍ فَيَبِسَ، وَسَيَّرَهُمْ فِي ٱللُّجَجِ كَٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ. | ٩ 9 |
He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it was dried up; so he led them through the depths, as through a desert.
| وَخَلَّصَهُمْ مِنْ يَدِ ٱلْمُبْغِضِ، وَفَدَاهُمْ مِنْ يَدِ ٱلْعَدُوِّ. | ١٠ 10 |
He saved them from the hand of him who hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
| وَغَطَّتِ ٱلْمِيَاهُ مُضَايِقِيهِمْ. وَاحِدٌ مِنْهُمْ لَمْ يَبْقَ. | ١١ 11 |
The waters covered their adversaries. There was not one of them left.
| فَآمَنُوا بِكَلَامِهِ. غَنَّوْا بِتَسْبِيحِهِ. | ١٢ 12 |
Then they believed his words. They sang his praise.
| أَسْرَعُوا فَنَسُوا أَعْمَالَهُ. لَمْ يَنْتَظِرُوا مَشُورَتَهُ. | ١٣ 13 |
They soon forgot his works. They didn’t wait for his counsel,
| بَلِ ٱشْتَهَوْا شَهْوَةً فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ، وَجَرَّبُوا ٱللهَ فِي ٱلْقَفْرِ. | ١٤ 14 |
but gave in to craving in the desert, and tested God in the wasteland.
| فَأَعْطَاهُمْ سُؤْلَهُمْ، وَأَرْسَلَ هُزَالًا فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ. | ١٥ 15 |
He gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul.
| وَحَسَدُوا مُوسَى فِي ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ، وَهارُونَ قُدُّوسَ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ١٦ 16 |
They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron, the LORD’s saint.
| فَتَحَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَٱبْتَلَعَتْ دَاثَانَ، وَطَبَقَتْ عَلَى جَمَاعَةِ أَبِيرَامَ، | ١٧ 17 |
The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram.
| وَٱشْتَعَلَتْ نَارٌ فِي جَمَاعَتِهِمْ. ٱللَّهِيبُ أَحْرَقَ ٱلْأَشْرَارَ. | ١٨ 18 |
A fire was kindled in their company. The flame burnt up the wicked.
| صَنَعُوا عِجْلًا فِي حُورِيبَ، وَسَجَدُوا لِتِمْثَالٍ مَسْبُوكٍ، | ١٩ 19 |
They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped a molten image.
| وَأَبْدَلُوا مَجْدَهُمْ بِمِثَالِ ثَوْرٍ آكِلِ عُشْبٍ. | ٢٠ 20 |
Thus they exchanged their glory for an image of a bull that eats grass.
| نَسُوا ٱللهَ مُخَلِّصَهُمُ، ٱلصَّانِعَ عَظَائِمَ فِي مِصْرَ، | ٢١ 21 |
They forgot God, their Saviour, who had done great things in Egypt,
| وَعَجَائِبَ فِي أَرْضِ حَامٍ، وَمَخَاوِفَ عَلَى بَحْرِ سُوفٍ، | ٢٢ 22 |
wondrous works in the land of Ham, and awesome things by the Red Sea.
| فَقَالَ بِإِهْلَاكِهِمْ. لَوْلَا مُوسَى مُخْتَارُهُ وَقَفَ فِي ٱلثَّغْرِ قُدَّامَهُ لِيَصْرِفَ غَضَبَهُ عَنْ إِتْلَافِهِمْ. | ٢٣ 23 |
Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had Moses, his chosen, not stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, so that he wouldn’t destroy them.
| وَرَذَلُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلشَّهِيَّةَ. لَمْ يُؤْمِنُوا بِكَلِمَتِهِ. | ٢٤ 24 |
Yes, they despised the pleasant land. They didn’t believe his word,
| بَلْ تَمَرْمَرُوا فِي خِيَامِهِمْ. لَمْ يَسْمَعُوا لِصَوْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ، | ٢٥ 25 |
but murmured in their tents, and didn’t listen to the LORD’s voice.
| فَرَفَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَيْهِمْ لِيُسْقِطَهُمْ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ، | ٢٦ 26 |
Therefore he swore to them that he would overthrow them in the wilderness,
| وَلِيُسْقِطَ نَسْلَهُمْ بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ، وَلِيُبَدِّدَهُمْ فِي ٱلْأَرَاضِي. | ٢٧ 27 |
that he would overthrow their offspring amongst the nations, and scatter them in the lands.
| وَتَعَلَّقُوا بِبَعْلِ فَغُورَ، وَأَكَلُوا ذَبَائِحَ ٱلْمَوْتَى. | ٢٨ 28 |
They joined themselves also to Baal Peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.
| وَأَغَاظُوهُ بِأَعْمَالِهِمْ فَٱقْتَحَمَهُمُ ٱلْوَبَأُ. | ٢٩ 29 |
Thus they provoked him to anger with their deeds. The plague broke in on them.
| فَوَقَفَ فِينَحَاسُ وَدَانَ، فَٱمْتَنَعَ ٱلْوَبَأُ. | ٣٠ 30 |
Then Phinehas stood up and executed judgement, so the plague was stopped.
| فَحُسِبَ لَهُ ذَلِكَ بِرًّا إِلَى دَوْرٍ فَدَوْرٍ، إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. | ٣١ 31 |
That was credited to him for righteousness, for all generations to come.
| وَأَسْخَطُوهُ عَلَى مَاءِ مَرِيبَةَ حَتَّى تَأَذَّى مُوسَى بِسَبَبِهِمْ. | ٣٢ 32 |
They angered him also at the waters of Meribah, so that Moses was troubled for their sakes;
| لِأَنَّهُمْ أَمَرُّوا رُوحَهُ حَتَّى فَرَطَ بِشَفَتَيْهِ. | ٣٣ 33 |
because they were rebellious against his spirit, he spoke rashly with his lips.
| لَمْ يَسْتَأْصِلُوا ٱلْأُمَمَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالَ لَهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ عَنْهُمْ، | ٣٤ 34 |
They didn’t destroy the peoples, as the LORD commanded them,
| بَلِ ٱخْتَلَطُوا بِٱلْأُمَمِ وَتَعَلَّمُوا أَعْمَالَهُمْ. | ٣٥ 35 |
but mixed themselves with the nations, and learnt their works.
| وَعَبَدُوا أَصْنَامَهُمْ، فَصَارَتْ لَهُمْ شَرَكًا. | ٣٦ 36 |
They served their idols, which became a snare to them.
| وَذَبَحُوا بَنِيهِمْ وَبَنَاتِهِمْ لِلْأَوْثَانِ. | ٣٧ 37 |
Yes, 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, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan. The land was polluted with blood.
| وَتَنَجَّسُوا بِأَعْمَالِهِمْ وَزَنَوْا بِأَفْعَالِهِمْ. | ٣٩ 39 |
Thus they were defiled with their works, and prostituted themselves in their deeds.
| فَحَمِيَ غَضَبُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى شَعْبِهِ، وَكَرِهَ مِيرَاثَهُ. | ٤٠ 40 |
Therefore the LORD burnt with anger against his people. He abhorred his inheritance.
| وَأَسْلَمَهُمْ لِيَدِ ٱلْأُمَمِ، وَتَسَلَّطَ عَلَيْهِمْ مُبْغِضُوهُمْ. | ٤١ 41 |
He gave them into the hand of the nations. Those who hated them ruled over them.
| وَضَغَطَهُمْ أَعْدَاؤُهُمْ، فَذَلُّوا تَحْتَ يَدِهِمْ. | ٤٢ 42 |
Their enemies also oppressed them. They were brought into subjection under their hand.
| مَرَّاتٍ كَثِيرَةً أَنْقَذَهُمْ، أَمَّا هُمْ فَعَصَوْهُ بِمَشُورَتِهِمْ وَٱنْحَطُّوا بِإِثْمِهِمْ. | ٤٣ 43 |
He rescued them many times, but they were rebellious in their counsel, and were brought low in their iniquity.
| فَنَظَرَ إِلَى ضِيقِهِمْ إِذْ سَمِعَ صُرَاخَهُمْ. | ٤٤ 44 |
Nevertheless he regarded their distress, when he heard their cry.
| وَذَكَرَ لَهُمْ عَهْدَهُ، وَنَدِمَ حَسَبَ كَثْرَةِ رَحْمَتِهِ. | ٤٥ 45 |
He remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.
| وَأَعْطَاهُمْ نِعْمَةً قُدَّامَ كُلِّ ٱلَّذِينَ سَبَوْهُمْ. | ٤٦ 46 |
He made them also to be pitied by all those who carried them captive.
| خَلِّصْنَا أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا، وَٱجْمَعْنَا مِنْ بَيْنِ ٱلْأُمَمِ، لِنَحْمَدَ ٱسْمَ قُدْسِكَ، وَنَتَفَاخَرَ بِتَسْبِيحِكَ. | ٤٧ 47 |
Save us, LORD, our God, gather us from amongst the nations, to give thanks to your holy name, to triumph in your praise!
| مُبَارَكٌ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنَ ٱلْأَزَلِ وَإِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. وَيَقُولُ كُلُّ ٱلشَّعْبِ: «آمِينَ». هَلِّلُويَا. | ٤٨ 48 |
Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting! Let all the people say, “Amen.” Praise the LORD!
