اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 132

١ 1 تَرْنِيمَةُ ٱلْمَصَاعِدِ اُذْكُرْ يَارَبُّ دَاوُدَ، كُلَّ ذُلِّهِ.

A song of ascents. Remember, O Lord, David all his sufferings,

٢ 2 كَيْفَ حَلَفَ لِلرَّبِّ، نَذَرَ لِعَزِيزِ يَعْقُوبَ:

the oath that he swore to the Lord, and his vow to the Strong One of Jacob,

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

never to enter his tent, never to lie on his bed,

٤ 4 لَا أُعْطِي وَسَنًا لِعَيْنَيَّ، وَلَا نَوْمًا لِأَجْفَانِي،

never to give his eyes sleep or his eyelids slumber,

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

till he had found a place for the Lord, for the Strong One of Jacob to live in.

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

We heard of it in Ephrathah, in the fields of Jaar we found it.

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

We went to the place where he dwelt, we bowed ourselves low at his footstool.

٨ 8 قُمْ يَارَبُّ إِلَى رَاحَتِكَ، أَنْتَ وَتَابُوتُ عِزِّكَ.

“Arise, Lord, and enter your resting-place, you and your mighty ark.

٩ 9 كَهَنَتُكَ يَلْبَسُونَ ٱلْبِرَّ، وَأَتْقِيَاؤُكَ يَهْتِفُونَ.

Let your priests wear a garment of righteousness, your faithful shout aloud for joy.

١٠ 10 مِنْ أَجْلِ دَاوُدَ عَبْدِكَ لَا تَرُدَّ وَجْهَ مَسِيحِكَ.

For the sake of David your servant, do not reject your Anointed.”

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

The Lord swore an oath to David an oath that he will not break; “I will set on your throne a prince of your line.

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

If your sons keep my covenant and the statutes I teach them, then their sons, too, forever, will sit on your throne.”

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

For the choice of the Lord is Zion; she is the home of his heart.

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

“This is forever my resting-place, this is the home of my heart.

١٥ 15 طَعَامَهَا أُبَارِكُ بَرَكَةً. مَسَاكِينَهَا أُشْبِعُ خُبْزًا.

I will royally bless her provision, and give bread to her poor in abundance.

١٦ 16 كَهَنَتَهَا أُلْبِسُ خَلَاصًا.

Her priests I will clothe with salvation; her faithful will shout for joy.

١٧ 17 هُنَاكَ أُنْبِتُ قَرْنًا لِدَاوُدَ. رَتَّبْتُ سِرَاجًا لِمَسِيحِي.

There will I raise up for David a dynasty of power. I have set my anointed a lamp that shall never go out.

١٨ 18 أَعْدَاءَهُ أُلْبِسُ خِزْيًا، وَعَلَيْهِ يُزْهِرُ إِكْلِيلُهُ».

Robes of shame I will put on his foes, but on his head a glittering crown.”
