اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 107
| اِحْمَدُوا ٱلرَّبَّ لِأَنَّهُ صَالِحٌ، لِأَنَّ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ رَحْمَتَهُ. | ١ 1 |
Thank the Lord, for he is good! His trustworthy love continues forever!
| لِيَقُلْ مَفْدِيُّو ٱلرَّبِّ، ٱلَّذِينَ فَدَاهُمْ مِنْ يَدِ ٱلْعَدُوِّ، | ٢ 2 |
Let those the Lord has saved say that they are saved; those he has rescued from the power of the enemy.
| وَمِنَ ٱلْبُلْدَانِ جَمَعَهُمْ، مِنَ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ وَمِنَ ٱلْمَغْرِبِ، مِنَ ٱلشِّمَالِ وَمِنَ ٱلْبَحْرِ. | ٣ 3 |
He has gathered them together from distant lands, from the east and the west, the north and the south.
| تَاهُوا فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ فِي قَفْرٍ بِلَا طَرِيقٍ. لَمْ يَجِدُوا مَدِينَةَ سَكَنٍ. | ٤ 4 |
They wandered in the desert wilderness, unable to find a way to a city where they could live.
| جِيَاعٌ عِطَاشٌ أَيْضًا أَعْيَتْ أَنْفُسُهُمْ فِيهِمْ. | ٥ 5 |
Hungry and thirsty, they became very discouraged.
| فَصَرَخُوا إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ فِي ضِيقِهِمْ، فَأَنْقَذَهُمْ مِنْ شَدَائِدِهِمْ، | ٦ 6 |
Then they cried out to the Lord to help them in their troubles, and he saved them from their suffering.
| وَهَدَاهُمْ طَرِيقًا مُسْتَقِيمًا لِيَذْهَبُوا إِلَى مَدِينَةِ سَكَنٍ. | ٧ 7 |
He led them along a straight way to a city where they could live.
| فَلْيَحْمَدُوا ٱلرَّبَّ عَلَى رَحْمَتِهِ وَعَجَائِبِهِ لِبَنِي آدَمَ. | ٨ 8 |
Let them praise the Lord for his trustworthy love, and for all the wonderful things he does for people.
| لِأَنَّهُ أَشْبَعَ نَفْسًا مُشْتَهِيَةً وَمَلَأَ نَفْسًا جَائِعَةً خَيْرًا، | ٩ 9 |
For he gives drink to those who are thirsty, and food to those who are hungry.
| ٱلْجُلُوسَ فِي ٱلظُّلْمَةِ وَظِلَالِ ٱلْمَوْتِ، مُوثَقِينَ بِٱلذُّلِّ وَٱلْحَدِيدِ. | ١٠ 10 |
Some sat in complete darkness, prisoners of misery and bound with iron chains,
| لِأَنَّهُمْ عَصَوْا كَلَامَ ٱللهِ، وَأَهَانُوا مَشُورَةَ ٱلْعَلِيِّ. | ١١ 11 |
for they had rebelled against what God had said; they had rejected the guidance of the Most High.
| فَأَذَلَّ قُلُوبَهُمْ بِتَعَبٍ. عَثَرُوا وَلَا مَعِينَ. | ١٢ 12 |
So he humbled their pride with the troubles of life; they tripped over and no one was there to stop them falling.
| ثُمَّ صَرَخُوا إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ فِي ضِيقِهِمْ، فَخَلَّصَهُمْ مِنْ شَدَائِدِهِمْ. | ١٣ 13 |
Then they called out to the Lord for help in their troubles, and he saved them from their suffering.
| أَخْرَجَهُمْ مِنَ ٱلظُّلْمَةِ وَظِلَالِ ٱلْمَوْتِ، وَقَطَّعَ قُيُودَهُمْ. | ١٤ 14 |
He brought them out of complete darkness, he broke their chains to pieces.
| فَلْيَحْمَدُوا ٱلرَّبَّ عَلَى رَحْمَتِهِ وَعَجَائِبِهِ لِبَنِي آدَمَ. | ١٥ 15 |
Let them praise the Lord for his trustworthy love, and for all the wonderful things he does for people.
| لِأَنَّهُ كَسَّرَ مَصَارِيعَ نُحَاسٍ، وَقَطَّعَ عَوَارِضَ حَدِيدٍ. | ١٦ 16 |
For he breaks down the bronze doors, and cuts through the iron bars.
| وَٱلْجُهَّالُ مِنْ طَرِيقِ مَعْصِيَتِهِمْ، وَمِنْ آثَامِهِمْ يُذَلُّونَ. | ١٧ 17 |
They were stupid because they rebelled; they suffered for their sins.
| كَرِهَتْ أَنْفُسُهُمْ كُلَّ طَعَامٍ، وَٱقْتَرَبُوا إِلَى أَبْوَابِ ٱلْمَوْتِ. | ١٨ 18 |
They didn't want to eat; they were at death's door.
| فَصَرَخُوا إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ فِي ضِيقِهِمْ، فَخَلَّصَهُمْ مِنْ شَدَائِدِهِمْ. | ١٩ 19 |
Then they called out to the Lord for help in their troubles, and he saved them from their suffering.
| أَرْسَلَ كَلِمَتَهُ فَشَفَاهُمْ، وَنَجَّاهُمْ مِنْ تَهْلُكَاتِهِمْ. | ٢٠ 20 |
He gave the command and he healed them; he saved them from the grave.
| فَلْيَحْمَدُوا ٱلرَّبَّ عَلَى رَحْمَتِهِ وَعَجَائِبِهِ لِبَنِي آدَمَ. | ٢١ 21 |
Let them praise the Lord for his trustworthy love, and for all the wonderful things he does for people.
| وَلْيَذْبَحُوا لَهُ ذَبَائِحَ ٱلْحَمْدِ، وَلْيَعُدُّوا أَعْمَالَهُ بِتَرَنُّمٍ. | ٢٢ 22 |
Let them present thank offerings and sing with joy about what he has done.
| اَلنَّازِلُونَ إِلَى ٱلْبَحْرِ فِي ٱلسُّفُنِ، ٱلْعَامِلُونَ عَمَلًا فِي ٱلْمِيَاهِ ٱلْكَثِيرَةِ، | ٢٣ 23 |
Those who set sail in ships, crossing the seas to earn their living,
| هُمْ رَأَوْا أَعْمَالَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَعَجَائِبَهُ فِي ٱلْعُمْقِ. | ٢٤ 24 |
they have seen the Lord's incredible power at work—the wonderful things he did in the deepest oceans.
| أَمَرَ فَأَهَاجَ رِيحًا عَاصِفَةً فَرَفَعَتْ أَمْوَاجَهُ. | ٢٥ 25 |
He only had to speak to cause a stormy wind that stirred up towering waves,
| يَصْعَدُونَ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ، يَهْبِطُونَ إِلَى ٱلْأَعْمَاقِ. ذَابَتْ أَنْفُسُهُمْ بِٱلشَّقَاءِ. | ٢٦ 26 |
lifting the ships high in the air and then plunging them down. The sailors were so terrified that their courage melted away.
| يَتَمَايَلُونَ وَيَتَرَنَّحُونَ مِثْلَ ٱلسَّكْرَانِ، وَكُلُّ حِكْمَتِهِمِ ٱبْتُلِعَتْ. | ٢٧ 27 |
They staggered around, falling from side to side like drunks—all their seamanship skills were useless.
| فَيَصْرُخُونَ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ فِي ضِيقِهِمْ، وَمِنْ شَدَائِدِهِمْ يُخَلِّصُهُمْ. | ٢٨ 28 |
Then they cried out to the Lord to help them in their troubles, and he saved them from their suffering.
| يُهْدِئُ ٱلْعَاصِفَةَ فَتَسْكُنُ، وَتَسْكُتُ أَمْوَاجُهَا. | ٢٩ 29 |
He calmed the storm, the waves were quiet.
| فَيَفْرَحُونَ لِأَنَّهُمْ هَدَأُوا، فَيَهْدِيهِمْ إِلَى ٱلْمَرْفَإِ ٱلَّذِي يُرِيدُونَهُ. | ٣٠ 30 |
The sailors were so happy when it all calmed down, and he brought them to the harbor they wanted.
| فَلْيَحْمَدُوا ٱلرَّبَّ عَلَى رَحْمَتِهِ وَعَجَائِبِهِ لِبَنِي آدَمَ. | ٣١ 31 |
Let them praise the Lord for his trustworthy love, and for all the wonderful things he does for people.
| وَلْيَرْفَعُوهُ فِي مَجْمَعِ ٱلشَّعْبِ، وَلْيُسَبِّحُوهُ فِي مَجْلِسِ ٱلْمَشَايِخِ. | ٣٢ 32 |
Let them say how wonderful he is in front of the whole congregation and the elders.
| يَجْعَلُ ٱلْأَنْهَارَ قِفَارًا، وَمَجَارِيَ ٱلْمِيَاهِ مَعْطَشَةً، | ٣٣ 33 |
He dries up rivers and turns the land into a desert; the water springs stop flowing and the earth turns dry and dusty.
| وَٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلْمُثْمِرَةَ سَبِخَةً مِنْ شَرِّ ٱلسَّاكِنِينَ فِيهَا. | ٣٤ 34 |
Fruitful ground becomes a salty wasteland because of the wickedness of those living there.
| يَجْعَلُ ٱلْقَفْرَ غَدِيرَ مِيَاهٍ، وَأَرْضًا يَبَسًا يَنَابِيعَ مِيَاهٍ. | ٣٥ 35 |
But he also turns around and makes pools of water in the desert, and makes water springs flow in a dry and dusty land.
| وَيُسْكِنُ هُنَاكَ ٱلْجِيَاعَ فَيُهَيِّئُونَ مَدِينَةَ سَكَنٍ. | ٣٦ 36 |
He brings hungry people to live there—a place they can build their cities.
| وَيَزْرَعُونَ حُقُولًا وَيَغْرِسُونَ كُرُومًا، فَتَصْنَعُ ثَمَرَ غَلَّةٍ. | ٣٧ 37 |
They sow their fields and plant their vineyards, producing a good harvest.
| وَيُبَارِكُهُمْ فَيَكْثُرُونَ جِدًّا، وَلَا يُقَلِّلُ بَهَائِمَهُمْ. | ٣٨ 38 |
He takes care of them, and their numbers increase dramatically—their cattle too!
| ثُمَّ يَقِلُّونَ وَيَنْحَنُونَ مِنْ ضَغْطِ ٱلشَّرِّ وَٱلْحُزْنِ. | ٣٩ 39 |
When they become few, brought low by oppression, misery, and sorrow,
| يَسْكُبُ هَوَانًا عَلَى رُؤَسَاءَ، وَيُضِلُّهُمْ فِي تِيهٍ بِلَا طَرِيقٍ، | ٤٠ 40 |
He pours out his contempt on their leaders, making them wander, lost in the wilderness.
| وَيُعَلِّي ٱلْمِسْكِينَ مِنَ ٱلذُّلِّ، وَيَجْعَلُ ٱلْقَبَائِلَ مِثْلَ قُطْعَانِ ٱلْغَنَمِ. | ٤١ 41 |
But he lifts the poor out of their troubles, and makes their families as big as flocks.
| يَرَى ذَلِكَ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمُونَ فَيَفْرَحُونَ، وَكُلُّ إِثْمٍ يَسُدُّ فَاهُ. | ٤٢ 42 |
Those who live right will observe what is happening and be glad, but the wicked will be silenced.
| مَنْ كَانَ حَكِيمًا يَحْفَظُ هَذَا، وَيَتَعَقَّلُ مَرَاحِمَ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٤٣ 43 |
Those who are wise will pay attention to all this, and thoughtfully reflect on the Lord's trustworthy love.
