< اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 147 >
سَبِّحُوا ٱلرَّبَّ، لِأَنَّ ٱلتَّرَنُّمَ لِإِلَهِنَا صَالِحٌ. لِأَنَّهُ مُلِذٌّ. ٱلتَّسْبِيحُ لَائِقٌ. | ١ 1 |
Praise Yahweh! It is good to sing to praise our God. It is a delightful thing to do and the right thing to do.
ٱلرَّبُّ يَبْنِي أُورُشَلِيمَ. يَجْمَعُ مَنْفِيِّي إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٢ 2 |
[Jerusalem was destroyed, but] Yahweh is [enabling us to] build Jerusalem again. He is bringing back the people who were taken [to Babylonia].
يَشْفِي ٱلْمُنْكَسِرِي ٱلْقُلُوبِ، وَيَجْبُرُ كَسْرَهُمْ. | ٣ 3 |
He enables those who were very discouraged to be encouraged again; [it is as though] they have wounds and he bandages them.
يُحْصِي عَدَدَ ٱلْكَوَاكِبِ. يَدْعُو كُلَّهَا بِأَسْمَاءٍ. | ٤ 4 |
He has determined how many stars there will be, and he gives names to all of them.
عَظِيمٌ هُوَ رَبُّنَا، وَعَظِيمُ ٱلْقُوَّةِ. لِفَهْمِهِ لَا إِحْصَاءَ. | ٥ 5 |
Yahweh is great and very powerful, and no one can measure how much he understands.
ٱلرَّبُّ يَرْفَعُ ٱلْوُدَعَاءَ، وَيَضَعُ ٱلْأَشْرَارَ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ٦ 6 |
Yahweh lifts up those who have been oppressed, and he throws the wicked down to the ground.
أَجِيبُوا ٱلرَّبَّ بِحَمْدٍ. رَنِّمُوا لِإِلَهِنَا بِعُودٍ. | ٧ 7 |
Thank Yahweh while you are singing to him to praise him; on the harps, play music to our God.
ٱلْكَاسِي ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ سَحَابًا، ٱلْمُهَيِّئِ لِلْأَرْضِ مَطَرًا، ٱلْمُنْبِتِ ٱلْجِبَالَ عُشْبًا، | ٨ 8 |
He covers the sky with clouds, [and then] he sends rain to the earth and causes grass to grow on the hills.
ٱلْمُعْطِي لِلْبَهَائِمِ طَعَامَهَا، لِفِرَاخِ ٱلْغِرْبَانِ ٱلَّتِي تَصْرُخُ. | ٩ 9 |
He gives to animals the food that they [need], and gives food to young crows/birds when they cry out [because they are hungry].
لَا يُسَرُّ بِقُوَّةِ ٱلْخَيْلِ. لَا يَرْضَى بِسَاقَيِ ٱلرَّجُلِ. | ١٠ 10 |
He is not pleased with strong horses or with men who can run [MTY] fast.
يَرْضَى ٱلرَّبُّ بِأَتْقِيَائِهِ، بِٱلرَّاجِينَ رَحْمَتَهُ. | ١١ 11 |
Instead, what pleases him are those who revere him, those who confidently expect him to continue to faithfully love them.
سَبِّحِي يَا أُورُشَلِيمُ ٱلرَّبَّ، سَبِّحِي إِلَهَكِ يَاصِهْيَوْنُ. | ١٢ 12 |
[You people of] [APO] Jerusalem, praise Yahweh! Praise your God!
لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ شَدَّدَ عَوَارِضَ أَبْوَابِكِ. بَارَكَ أَبْنَاءَكِ دَاخِلَكِ. | ١٣ 13 |
He [guards your city] by keeping its gates strong. He blesses the people who live there.
ٱلَّذِي يَجْعَلُ تُخُومَكِ سَلَامًا، وَيُشْبِعُكِ مِنْ شَحْمِ ٱلْحِنْطَةِ. | ١٤ 14 |
He protects the borders [of your country, so that enemies from other countries cannot attack you]. He gives you plenty of very good wheat/grain to eat.
يُرْسِلُ كَلِمَتَهُ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. سَرِيعًا جِدًا يُجْرِي قَوْلَهُ. | ١٥ 15 |
He commands what he wants to be done on the earth, and his words quickly come to the place to which he sends them.
ٱلَّذِي يُعطِي ٱلثَّلْجَ كَٱلصُّوفِ، وَيُذَرِّي ٱلصَّقِيعَ كَٱلرَّمَادِ. | ١٦ 16 |
He sends snow which [covers the ground] like a white wool blanket [SIM], and he scatters frost [on the ground] like [wind scatters] ashes [SIM].
يُلْقِي جَمْدَهُ كَفُتَاتٍ. قُدَّامَ بَرْدِهِ مَنْ يَقِفُ؟ | ١٧ 17 |
He sends hail down like (pebbles/tiny stones); [when that happens], (it is very difficult to endure because the air becomes very cold./who can endure because the air becomes very cold?) [RHQ]
يُرْسِلُ كَلِمَتَهُ فَيُذِيبُهَا. يَهُبُّ بِرِيحِهِ فَتَسِيلُ ٱلْمِيَاهُ. | ١٨ 18 |
[But] he commands the wind to blow, and it blows. [Then the hail] melts and [the water] flows [into the streams].
يُخْبِرُ يَعْقُوبَ بِكَلِمَتِهِ، وَإِسْرَائِيلَ بِفَرَائِضِهِ وَأَحْكَامِهِ. | ١٩ 19 |
He sent his message to [the descendants of] Jacob; [he tells to his] Israeli people the laws and regulations that he had decreed.
لَمْ يَصْنَعْ هَكَذَا بِإِحْدَى ٱلأُمَمِ، وَأَحْكَامُهُ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوهَا. هَلِّلُويَا. | ٢٠ 20 |
He has not done that for any other nation; the other nations do not know his laws. Praise Yahweh!
