اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 132

١ 1 تَرْنِيمَةُ ٱلْمَصَاعِدِ اُذْكُرْ يَارَبُّ دَاوُدَ، كُلَّ ذُلِّهِ.

O Lord, remember David, and all his meekness.

٢ 2 كَيْفَ حَلَفَ لِلرَّبِّ، نَذَرَ لِعَزِيزِ يَعْقُوبَ:

How he swore to the Lord, he vowed a vow to the God of Jacob:

٣ 3 «لَا أَدْخُلُ خَيْمَةَ بَيْتِي. لَا أَصْعَدُ عَلَى سَرِيرِ فِرَاشِي.

If I shall enter into the tabernacle of my house: if I shall go up into the bed wherein I lie:

٤ 4 لَا أُعْطِي وَسَنًا لِعَيْنَيَّ، وَلَا نَوْمًا لِأَجْفَانِي،

If I shall give sleep to my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids,

٥ 5 أَوْ أَجِدَ مَقَامًا لِلرَّبِّ، مَسْكَنًا لِعَزِيزِ يَعْقُوبَ».

Or rest to my temples: until I find out a place for the Lord, a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.

٦ 6 هُوَذَا قَدْ سَمِعْنَا بِهِ فِي أَفْرَاتَةَ. وَجَدْنَاهُ فِي حُقُولِ ٱلْوَعْرِ.

Behold we have heard of it in Ephrata: we have found it in the fields of the wood.

٧ 7 «لِنَدْخُلْ إِلَى مَسَاكِنِهِ. لِنَسْجُدْ عِنْدَ مَوْطِئِ قَدَمَيْهِ».

We will go into his tabernacle: We will adore in the place where his feet stood.

٨ 8 قُمْ يَارَبُّ إِلَى رَاحَتِكَ، أَنْتَ وَتَابُوتُ عِزِّكَ.

Arise, O Lord, into thy resting place: thou and the ark, which thou hast sanctified.

٩ 9 كَهَنَتُكَ يَلْبَسُونَ ٱلْبِرَّ، وَأَتْقِيَاؤُكَ يَهْتِفُونَ.

Let thy priests be clothed with justice: and let thy saints rejoice.

١٠ 10 مِنْ أَجْلِ دَاوُدَ عَبْدِكَ لَا تَرُدَّ وَجْهَ مَسِيحِكَ.

For thy servant David’s sake, turn not away the face of thy anointed.

١١ 11 أَقْسَمَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِدَاوُدَ بِٱلْحَقِّ لَا يَرْجِعُ عَنْهُ: «مِنْ ثَمَرَةِ بَطْنِكَ أَجْعَلُ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّكَ.

The Lord hath sworn truth to David, and he will not make it void: of the fruit of thy womb I will set upon thy throne.

١٢ 12 إِنْ حَفِظَ بَنُوكَ عَهْدِي وَشَهَادَاتِي ٱلَّتِي أُعَلِّمُهُمْ إِيَّاهَا، فَبَنُوهُمْ أَيْضًا إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ يَجْلِسُونَ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّكَ».

If thy children will keep thy covenant, and these my testimonies which I shall teach them: Their children also for evermore shall sit upon thy throne.

١٣ 13 لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدِ ٱخْتَارَ صِهْيَوْنَ. ٱشْتَهَاهَا مَسْكَنًا لَهُ:

For the Lord hath chosen Sion: he hath chosen it for his dwelling.

١٤ 14 «هَذِهِ هِيَ رَاحَتِي إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. هَهُنَا أَسْكُنُ لِأَنِّي ٱشْتَهَيْتُهَا.

This is my rest for ever and ever: here will I dwell, for I have chosen it.

١٥ 15 طَعَامَهَا أُبَارِكُ بَرَكَةً. مَسَاكِينَهَا أُشْبِعُ خُبْزًا.

Blessing, I will bless her widow: I will satisfy her poor with bread.

١٦ 16 كَهَنَتَهَا أُلْبِسُ خَلَاصًا.

I will clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall rejoice with exceeding great joy.

١٧ 17 هُنَاكَ أُنْبِتُ قَرْنًا لِدَاوُدَ. رَتَّبْتُ سِرَاجًا لِمَسِيحِي.

There will I bring forth a horn to David: I have prepared a lamp for my anointed.

١٨ 18 أَعْدَاءَهُ أُلْبِسُ خِزْيًا، وَعَلَيْهِ يُزْهِرُ إِكْلِيلُهُ».

His enemies I will clothe with confusion: but upon him will my sanctification flourish.
