< اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 116 >
| أَحْبَبْتُ لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ يَسْمَعُ صَوْتِي، تَضَرُّعَاتِي. | ١ 1 |
I love Yahweh, because he hears me when I cry for him to help me.
| لِأَنَّهُ أَمَالَ أُذْنَهُ إِلَيَّ فَأَدْعُوهُ مُدَّةَ حَيَاتِي. | ٢ 2 |
He listens to me, so I will call out to him all during my life.
| ٱكْتَنَفَتْنِي حِبَالُ ٱلْمَوْتِ. أَصَابَتْنِي شَدَائِدُ ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ. كَابَدْتُ ضِيقًا وَحُزْنًا. (Sheol ) | ٣ 3 |
Everything around me [MET] caused me to think that I would die; I was very afraid that I would [die and go to] the place where dead people are. I was very distressed/worried and afraid. (Sheol )
| وَبِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ دَعَوْتُ: «آهِ يَارَبُّ، نَجِّ نَفْسِي!». | ٤ 4 |
[But] then I called out to Yahweh, saying, “Yahweh, I plead with you to save/rescue me!”
| ٱلرَّبُّ حَنَّانٌ وَصِدِّيقٌ، وَإِلَهُنَا رَحِيمٌ. | ٥ 5 |
Yahweh is kind and does what is right; he is our God, and he acts mercifully [to us].
| ٱلرَّبُّ حَافِظُ ٱلْبُسَطَاءِ. تَذَلَّلْتُ فَخَلَّصَنِي. | ٦ 6 |
He protects those who (are helpless/cannot defend themselves); and when I thought that I would die, he saved me.
| ٱرْجِعِي يَا نَفْسِي إِلَى رَاحَتِكِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ أَحْسَنَ إِلَيْكِ. | ٧ 7 |
I must encourage/tell myself to (have inner peace/not worry any more), because Yahweh has done very good things for me.
| لِأَنَّكَ أَنْقَذْتَ نَفْسِي مِنَ ٱلْمَوْتِ، وَعَيْنِي مِنَ ٱلدَّمْعَةِ، وَرِجْلَيَّ مِنَ ٱلزَّلَقِ. | ٨ 8 |
Yahweh has saved me [SYN] from dying, and has kept/protected me from [troubles that would cause me to] cry. He has kept/protected me from stumbling.
| أَسْلُكُ قُدَّامَ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي أَرْضِ ٱلْأَحْيَاءِ. | ٩ 9 |
[So here] on the earth, where people are still alive, I live knowing that Yahweh is [directing] me.
| آمَنْتُ لِذَلِكَ تَكَلَّمْتُ: «أَنَا تَذَلَّلْتُ جِدًّا». | ١٠ 10 |
I continued to believe/trust [in Yahweh], even when I said, “I am greatly afflicted/troubled.”
| أَنَا قُلْتُ فِي حَيْرَتِي: «كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ كَاذِبٌ». | ١١ 11 |
[Even] when I was distressed/worried and said, “I cannot trust anyone,” [I continued to trust in Yahweh].
| مَاذَا أَرُدُّ لِلرَّبِّ مِنْ أَجْلِ كُلِّ حَسَنَاتِهِ لِي؟ | ١٢ 12 |
So now [I will tell you] [RHQ] what I will offer to Yahweh, because of all the good things that he has done for me.
| كَأْسَ ٱلْخَلَاصِ أَتَنَاوَلُ، وَبِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ أَدْعُو. | ١٣ 13 |
I will offer to him a cup [of wine] to thank him for saving/rescuing me.
| أُوفِي نُذُورِي لِلرَّبِّ مُقَابِلَ كُلِّ شَعْبِهِ. | ١٤ 14 |
When I am together with many [HYP] people who belong to Yahweh, I will give to him the offerings that I solemnly promised to give to him.
| عَزِيزٌ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ مَوْتُ أَتْقِيَائِهِ. | ١٥ 15 |
Yahweh is very grieved/sad when one of his people dies.
| آهِ يَارَبُّ، لِأَنِّي عَبْدُكَ! أَنَا عَبْدُكَ ٱبْنُ أَمَتِكَ. حَلَلْتَ قُيُودِي. | ١٦ 16 |
I am one of those who serve Yahweh; I serve him like my mother did. He has freed/saved me from dying (OR, from being fastened by chains).
| فَلَكَ أَذْبَحُ ذَبِيحَةَ حَمْدٍ، وَبِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ أَدْعُو. | ١٧ 17 |
[So] I will offer to him a sacrifice to thank him, and I will pray to him.
| أُوفِي نُذُورِي لِلرَّبِّ مُقَابِلَ شَعْبِهِ، | ١٨ 18 |
When I am together with many of [HYP] the people who belong to Yahweh, [in the courtyard] outside his temple in Jerusalem, I will give to him the offerings that I solemnly promised to give to him. Praise Yahweh!
| فِي دِيَارِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ، فِي وَسَطِكِ يَا أُورُشَلِيمُ. هَلِّلُويَا. | ١٩ 19 |
