اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 81

١ 1 لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ عَلَى «ٱلْجَتِّيَّةِ». لِآسَافَ رَنِّمُوا لِلهِ قُوَّتِنَا. ٱهْتِفُوا لِإِلَهِ يَعْقُوبَ.

For the music director. On the gittith. A psalm of Asaph. Sing aloud to God our strength; shout for joy to the God of Jacob.

٢ 2 ٱرْفَعُوا نَغْمَةً وَهَاتُوا دُفًّا، عُودًا حُلْوًا مَعَ رَبَابٍ.

Start the song! Play the tambourine, sweet-sounding lyre, and harp.

٣ 3 ٱنْفُخُوا فِي رَأْسِ ٱلشَّهْرِ بِٱلْبُوقِ، عِنْدَ ٱلْهِلَالِ لِيَوْمِ عِيدِنَا.

Blow the trumpet at the new moon, and at full moon, to begin our festivals,

٤ 4 لِأَنَّ هَذَا فَرِيضَةٌ لِإِسْرَائِيلَ، حُكْمٌ لِإِلَهِ يَعْقُوبَ.

for this is a rule for Israel, a regulation of the God of Jacob.

٥ 5 جَعَلَهُ شَهَادَةً فِي يُوسُفَ عِنْدَ خُرُوجِهِ عَلَى أَرْضِ مِصْرَ. سَمِعْتُ لِسَانًا لَمْ أَعْرِفْهُ:

God made this statute for Joseph when he opposed the land of Egypt. I heard a voice I didn't know, saying:

٦ 6 «أَبْعَدْتُ مِنَ ٱلْحِمْلِ كَتِفَهُ. يَدَاهُ تَحَوَّلَتَا عَنِ ٱلسَّلِّ.

“I took the load from your shoulders; I freed your hands from carrying heavy baskets.

٧ 7 فِي ٱلضِّيقِ دَعَوْتَ فَنَجَّيْتُكَ. ٱسْتَجَبْتُكَ فِي سِتْرِ ٱلرَّعْدِ. جَرَّبْتُكَ عَلَى مَاءِ مَرِيبَةَ. سِلَاهْ.

In your suffering you cried out to me, and I saved you. I answered you from the thundercloud. I tested you at the waters of Meribah. (Selah)

٨ 8 «اِسْمَعْ يَا شَعْبِي فَأُحَذِّرَكَ. يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، إِنْ سَمِعْتَ لِي!

My people, listen to my warnings! Israel, please listen to me!

٩ 9 لَا يَكُنْ فِيكَ إِلَهٌ غَرِيبٌ، وَلَا تَسْجُدْ لِإِلَهٍ أَجْنَبِيٍّ.

There must not be a strange god among you; you must never bow down to foreign gods and worship them.

١٠ 10 أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ، ٱلَّذِي أَصْعَدَكَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ. أَفْغِرْ فَاكَ فَأَمْلَأَهُ.

I am the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide and I will fill it.

١١ 11 فَلَمْ يَسْمَعْ شَعْبِي لِصَوْتِي، وَإِسْرَائِيلُ لَمْ يَرْضَ بِي.

But my people didn't listen to me. Israel didn't want anything to do with me.

١٢ 12 فَسَلَّمْتُهُمْ إِلَى قَسَاوَةِ قُلُوبِهِمْ، لِيَسْلُكُوا فِي مُؤَامَرَاتِ أَنْفُسِهِمْ.

So I sent them away to follow their stubborn thinking, living as they chose.

١٣ 13 لَوْ سَمِعَ لِي شَعْبِي، وَسَلَكَ إِسْرَائِيلُ فِي طُرُقِي،

If only my people would listen to me; if only Israel would follow my ways!

١٤ 14 سَرِيعًا كُنْتُ أُخْضِعُ أَعْدَاءَهُمْ، وَعَلَى مُضَايِقِيهِمْ كُنْتُ أَرُدُّ يَدِي.

It wouldn't take me long to conquer their enemies, to strike down their foes.

١٥ 15 مُبْغِضُو ٱلرَّبِّ يَتَذَلَّلُونَ لَهُ، وَيَكُونُ وَقْتُهُمْ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ.

Those who hate the Lord would cringe before him, forever doomed.

١٦ 16 وَكَانَ أَطْعَمَهُ مِنْ شَحْمِ ٱلْحِنْطَةِ، وَمِنَ ٱلصَّخْرَةِ كُنْتُ أُشْبِعُكَ عَسَلًا».

But I would feed you the best wheat and satisfy you with honey from the rock.”
