اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 116

١ 1 أَحْبَبْتُ لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ يَسْمَعُ صَوْتِي، تَضَرُّعَاتِي.

I love the Lord because he listens to me, he hears my calls for help.

٢ 2 لِأَنَّهُ أَمَالَ أُذْنَهُ إِلَيَّ فَأَدْعُوهُ مُدَّةَ حَيَاتِي.

Because he pays attention to what I say I will pray to him as long as I live.

٣ 3 ٱكْتَنَفَتْنِي حِبَالُ ٱلْمَوْتِ. أَصَابَتْنِي شَدَائِدُ ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ. كَابَدْتُ ضِيقًا وَحُزْنًا. (Sheol h7585)

I was caught in the snares of death; I was trapped by terrors of the grave. All I experienced was suffering and grief. (Sheol h7585)

٤ 4 وَبِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ دَعَوْتُ: «آهِ يَارَبُّ، نَجِّ نَفْسِي!».

Then I cried out to the Lord, “Lord, please save me!”

٥ 5 ٱلرَّبُّ حَنَّانٌ وَصِدِّيقٌ، وَإِلَهُنَا رَحِيمٌ.

The Lord is so kind and good! Our God is so compassionate!

٦ 6 ٱلرَّبُّ حَافِظُ ٱلْبُسَطَاءِ. تَذَلَّلْتُ فَخَلَّصَنِي.

The Lord takes care of those who are powerless; when I was brought down he saved me.

٧ 7 ٱرْجِعِي يَا نَفْسِي إِلَى رَاحَتِكِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ أَحْسَنَ إِلَيْكِ.

I can once again be at peace because the Lord has been good to me.

٨ 8 لِأَنَّكَ أَنْقَذْتَ نَفْسِي مِنَ ٱلْمَوْتِ، وَعَيْنِي مِنَ ٱلدَّمْعَةِ، وَرِجْلَيَّ مِنَ ٱلزَّلَقِ.

For you have saved me from death, my eyes from crying, and my feet from stumbling.

٩ 9 أَسْلُكُ قُدَّامَ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي أَرْضِ ٱلْأَحْيَاءِ.

Now I can walk with the Lord in the land of the living.

١٠ 10 آمَنْتُ لِذَلِكَ تَكَلَّمْتُ: «أَنَا تَذَلَّلْتُ جِدًّا».

I trusted in you, so I told you, “I'm suffering terribly!”

١١ 11 أَنَا قُلْتُ فِي حَيْرَتِي: «كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ كَاذِبٌ».

I was so upset that I said, “Everyone's a liar!”

١٢ 12 مَاذَا أَرُدُّ لِلرَّبِّ مِنْ أَجْلِ كُلِّ حَسَنَاتِهِ لِي؟

What can I give the Lord in return for all he's done for me?

١٣ 13 كَأْسَ ٱلْخَلَاصِ أَتَنَاوَلُ، وَبِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ أَدْعُو.

I will lift up the cup of salvation and worship the Lord.

١٤ 14 أُوفِي نُذُورِي لِلرَّبِّ مُقَابِلَ كُلِّ شَعْبِهِ.

I will keep my promises to the Lord so everyone can see.

١٥ 15 عَزِيزٌ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ مَوْتُ أَتْقِيَائِهِ.

It hurts the Lord when those who trust in him die.

١٦ 16 آهِ يَارَبُّ، لِأَنِّي عَبْدُكَ! أَنَا عَبْدُكَ ٱبْنُ أَمَتِكَ. حَلَلْتَ قُيُودِي.

Lord, I really am your slave, serving you as my mother served you before me, yet you have set me free.

١٧ 17 فَلَكَ أَذْبَحُ ذَبِيحَةَ حَمْدٍ، وَبِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ أَدْعُو.

I will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to you and I will worship you.

١٨ 18 أُوفِي نُذُورِي لِلرَّبِّ مُقَابِلَ شَعْبِهِ،

I will keep my promises to the Lord so everyone can see,

١٩ 19 فِي دِيَارِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ، فِي وَسَطِكِ يَا أُورُشَلِيمُ. هَلِّلُويَا.

there in the house of the Lord, right in Jerusalem. Praise the Lord!
