2 صَمُوئيل 22

١ 1 وَخَاطَبَ دَاوُدُ الرَّبَّ بِأَبْيَاتِ هَذَا النَّشِيدِ فِي الْيَوْمِ الَّذِي أَنْقَذَهُ فِيهِ الرَّبُّ مِنْ كُلِّ أَعْدَائِهِ، وَمِنْ شَاوُلَ:

And David spake unto Jehovah the words of this song in the day that Jehovah delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul:

٢ 2 «الرَّبُّ صَخْرَتِي وَحِصْنِي وَمُنْقِذِي.

and he said, Jehovah is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer, even mine;

٣ 3 إِلَهِي صَخْرَتِي بِهِ أَحْتَمِي، تُرْسِي وَرُكْنُ خَلاصِي. هُوَ حِصْنِي وَمَلْجَإِي وَمُخَلِّصِي. أَنْتَ تُخَلِّصُنِي مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ.

God, my rock, in him will I take refuge; My shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge; My saviour, thou savest me from violence.

٤ 4 أَدْعُو الرَّبَّ الجَدِيرَ بِكُلِّ حَمْدٍ فَيُخَلِّصُنِي مِنْ أَعْدَائِي.

I will call upon Jehovah, who is worthy to be praised: So shall I be saved from mine enemies.

٥ 5 طَوَّقَتْنِي أَمْوَاجُ الْمَوْتِ وَسُيُولُ الْهَلاكِ غَمَرَتْنِي.

For the waves of death compassed me; The floods of ungodliness made me afraid:

٦ 6 أَحَاطَتْ بِي حِبَالُ الْهَاوِيَةِ، وَأَطْبَقَتْ عَلَيَّ فِخَاخُ الْمَوْتِ. (Sheol h7585)

The cords of Sheol were round about me; The snares of death came upon me. (Sheol h7585)

٧ 7 فِي ضِيقِي دَعَوْتُ الرَّبَّ، وبِإِلَهِي اسْتَغَثْتُ، فَسَمِعَ صَوْتِي مِنْ هَيْكَلِهِ، وَبَلَغَ صُرَاخِي أُذُنَيْهِ.

In my distress I called upon Jehovah; Yea, I called unto my God: And he heard my voice out of his temple, And my cry [came] into his ears.

٨ 8 عِنْدَئِذٍ ارْتَجَّتِ الأَرْضُ وَتَزَلْزَلَتْ. ارْتَجَفَتْ أَسَاسَاتُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَاهْتَزَّتْ لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ غَضِبَ.

Then the earth shook and trembled, The foundations of heaven quaked And were shaken, because he was wroth.

٩ 9 نَفَثَ أَنْفُهُ دُخَاناً، وانْدَلَعَتْ نَارٌ آكِلَةٌ مِنْ فَمِهِ، فَاتَّقَدَ مِنْهَا جَمْرٌ.

There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, And fire out of his mouth devoured: Coals were kindled by it.

١٠ 10 طَأْطَأَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَنَزَلَ، فَكَانَتِ الْغُيُومُ الْمُتَجَهِّمَةُ تَحْتَ قَدَمَيْهِ.

He bowed the heavens also, and came down; And thick darkness was under his feet.

١١ 11 امْتَطَى مَرْكَبَةً مِنْ مَلائِكَةِ الْكَرُوبِيمِ وَطَارَ وَتَجَلَّى عَلَى أَجْنِحَةِ الرِّيحِ.

And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly; Yea, he was seen upon the wings of the wind.

١٢ 12 أَحَاطَتْ بِهِ الظُّلْمَةُ كَالْمِظَلَّاتِ وَاكْتَنَفَتْهُ السُّحُبُ الْمُتَكَاثِفَةُ واللُّجَجُ.

And he made darkness pavilions round about him, Gathering of waters, thick clouds of the skies.

١٣ 13 مِنْ بَهَاءِ طَلْعَتِهِ تَوَهَّجَتْ جَمْرَاتُ نَارٍ.

At the brightness before him Coals of fire were kindled.

١٤ 14 أَرْعَدَ الرَّبُّ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَأَطْلَقَ الْعَلِيُّ صَوْتَهُ.

Jehovah thundered from heaven, And the Most High uttered his voice.

١٥ 15 أَطْلَقَ سِهَامَهُ فبَدَّدَ الأَعْدَاءَ، وَأَرْسَلَ بُرُوقَهُ فَأَزْعَجَهُمْ.

And he sent out arrows, and scattered them; Lightning, and discomfited them.

١٦ 16 ظَهَرَتْ مَجَارِي الْمِيَاهِ الْعَمِيقَةُ وَانْكَشَفَتْ أُسُسُ الْمَسْكُونَةِ مِنْ زَجْرِ الرَّبِّ وَمِنْ رِيحِ أَنْفِهِ اللّافِحَةِ.

Then the channels of the sea appeared, The foundations of the world were laid bare, By the rebuke of Jehovah, At the blast of the breath of his nostrils.

١٧ 17 مَدَّ الرَّبُّ يَدَهُ مِن الْعُلَى وَأَمْسَكَنِي، انْتَشَلَنِي مِنَ السُّيُولِ الْغَامِرَةِ.

He sent from on high, he took me; He drew me out of many waters;

١٨ 18 أَنْقَذَنِي مِنْ عَدُوِّيَ الْقَوِيِّ، وَخَلَّصَنِي مِنْ مُبْغِضِيَّ لأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا أَقْوَى مِنِّي.

He delivered me from my strong enemy, From them that hated me; for they were too mighty for me.

١٩ 19 تَصَدَّوْا لِي فِي يَوْمِ بَلِيَّتِي، فَكَانَ الرَّبُّ سَنَدِي.

They came upon me in the day of my calamity; But Jehovah was my stay.

٢٠ 20 اقْتَادَنِي إِلَى مَوْضِعٍ رَحِيبٍ، أَنْقَذَنِي لأَنَّهُ سُرَّ بِي.

He brought me forth also into a large place; He delivered me, because he delighted in me.

٢١ 21 يُكَافِئُنِي الرَّبُّ حَسَبَ بِرِّي. وَيُعَوِّضُنِي حَسَبَ طَهَارَةِ يَدَيَّ.

Jehovah rewarded me according to my righteousness; According to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.

٢٢ 22 لأَنِّي سَلَكْتُ دَائِماً فِي طُرُقِ الرَّبِّ، وَلَمْ أَعْصَ إِلَهِي.

For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, And have not wickedly departed from my God.

٢٣ 23 جَعَلْتُ أَحْكَامَهُ دَائِماً نُصْبَ عَيْنِي وَلَمْ أَحِدْ عَنْ فَرَائِضِهِ.

For all his ordinances were before me; And as for his statutes, I did not depart from them.

٢٤ 24 فَكُنْتُ كَامِلاً لَدَيْهِ، وَصُنْتُ نَفْسِي مِنَ الإِثْمِ.

I was also perfect toward him; And I kept myself from mine iniquity.

٢٥ 25 فَيُكَافِئُنِي الرَّبُّ وَفْقاً لِبِرِّي، وَبِحَسَبِ طَهَارَتِي أَمَامَ عَيْنَيْهِ.

Therefore hath Jehovah recompensed me according to my righteousness, According to my cleanness in his eyesight.

٢٦ 26 مَعَ الرَّحِيمِ تَكُونُ رَحِيماً، وَمَعَ الْكَامِلِ تَكُونُ كَامِلاً.

With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful; With the perfect man thou wilt show thyself perfect;

٢٧ 27 مَعَ الطَّاهِرِ تَكُونُ طَاهِراً، وَمَعَ الْمُعْوَجِّ تَكُونُ مُعْوَجّاً.

With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure; And with the perverse thou wilt show thyself froward.

٢٨ 28 أَنْتَ تُنْقِذُ الشَّعْبَ الْمُتَضَايِقَ، أَمَّا عَيْنَاكَ فَتُرَاقِبَانِ الْمُتَغَطْرِسِينَ لِتَخْفِضَهْمُ.

And the afflicted people thou wilt save; But thine eyes are upon the haughty, that thou mayest bring them down.

٢٩ 29 يَا رَبُّ أَنْتَ سِرَاجِي. الرَّبُّ يُضِيءُ ظُلْمَتِي.

For thou art my lamp, O Jehovah; And Jehovah will lighten my darkness.

٣٠ 30 لأَنِّي بِكَ أَقْتَحِمُ جَيْشاً، وَبِقُوَّةِ إِلَهِي اخْتَرَقْتُ أَسْوَاراً.

For by thee I run upon a troop; By my God do I leap over a wall.

٣١ 31 مَا أَكْمَلَ طَرِيقَ الرَّبِّ! إِنَّ كَلِمَتَهُ نَقِيَّةٌ، وَهُوَ مِتْرَاسٌ يَحْمِي جَمِيعَ الْمُلْتَجِئِينَ إِلَيْهِ.

As for God, his way is perfect: The word of Jehovah is tried; He is a shield unto all them that take refuge in him.

٣٢ 32 لأَنَّهُ مَنْ هُوَ إِلَهٌ غَيْرُ الرَّبِّ؟ وَمَنْ هُوَ صَخْرَةٌ سِوَى إِلَهِنَا؟

For who is God, save Jehovah? And who is a rock, save our God?

٣٣ 33 إِنَّهُ اللهُ الَّذِي يُسَلِّحُنِي بِالْقُوَّةِ، وَيَجْعَلُ طَرِيقِي كَامِلاً.

God is my strong fortress; And he guideth the perfect in his way.

٣٤ 34 يَجْعَلُ رِجْلَيَّ كَرِجْلَيِ الإِيَّلِ وَيُقِيمُنِي آمِناً عَلَى الْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ.

He maketh his feet like hinds’ [feet], And setteth me upon my high places.

٣٥ 35 تُدَرِّبُ يَدَيَّ عَلَى فَنِّ الْحَرْبِ فَتَشُدُّ ذِرَاعَايَ قَوْساً مِنْ نُحَاسٍ.

He teacheth my hands to war, So that mine arms do bend a bow of brass.

٣٦ 36 تُعْطِينِي تُرْسَ خَلاصِكَ، وَبِلُطْفِكَ تُعَظِّمُنِي.

Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation; And thy gentleness hath made me great.

٣٧ 37 وَسَّعْتَ طَرِيقِي تَحْتَ قَدَمَيَّ فَلَمْ تَتَعَثَّرْ رِجْلايْ.

Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; And my feet have not slipped.

٣٨ 38 أُطَارِدُ أَعْدَائِي فَأُدْرِكُهُمْ، وَلا أَرْجِعُ حَتَّى أُبِيدَهُمْ.

I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; Neither did I turn again till they were consumed.

٣٩ 39 أَقْضِي عَلَيْهِمْ وَأَسْحَقُهُمْ، فَلا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ النُّهُوضَ، بَلْ يَسْقُطُونَ تَحْتَ قَدَمَيَّ.

And I have consumed them, and smitten them through, so that they cannot arise: Yea, they are fallen under my feet.

٤٠ 40 تُمَنْطِقُنِي بِحِزَامٍ مِنَ الْقُوَّةِ تَأَهُّباً لِلْقِتَالِ وَتُخْضِعُ لِسُلْطَانِي الْمُتَمَرِّدِينَ عَلَيَّ.

For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle; Thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.

٤١ 41 تَجْعَلُ أَعْدَائِي يُوَلُّونَ الأَدْبَارَ هَرَباً مِنِّي. وَأُفْنِي الَّذِينَ يُبْغِضُونَنِي.

Thou hast also made mine enemies turn their backs unto me, That I might cut off them that hate me.

٤٢ 42 يَسْتَغِيثُونَ وَلا مِنْ مُخَلِّصٍ، يُنَادُونَ الرَّبَّ فَلا يَسْتَجِيبُ لَهُمْ.

They looked, but there was none to save; Even unto Jehovah, but he answered them not.

٤٣ 43 فَأَسْحَقُهُمْ كَغُبَارِ الأَرْضِ، وَمِثْلَ طِينِ الأَسْوَاقِ أَدُقُّهُمْ وَأَدُوسُهُمْ.

Then did I beat them small as the dust of the earth, I did crush them as the mire of the streets, and did spread them abroad.

٤٤ 44 تُنْقِذُنِي مِنْ مُخَاصَمَاتِ الشَّعْبِ، وَتَجْعَلُنِي سَيِّداً لِلأُمَمِ حَتَّى صَارَ شَعْبٌ لَمْ أَكُنْ أَعْرِفُهُ عَبْداً يَخْدِمُنِي.

Thou also hast delivered me from the strivings of my people; Thou hast kept me to be the head of the nations: A people whom I have not known shall serve me.

٤٥ 45 يُقْبِلُ الْغُرَبَاءُ نَحْوِي مُتَذَلِّلِينَ، وَحَالَمَا يَسْمَعُونَ أَمْرِي يُلَبُّونَهُ.

The foreigners shall submit themselves unto me: As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me.

٤٦ 46 الْغُرَبَاءُ يَخُورُونَ، يَخْرُجُونَ مِنْ حُصُونِهِمْ مُرْتَعِدِينَ.

The foreigners shall fade away, And shall come trembling out of their close places.

٤٧ 47 حَيٌّ هُوَ الرَّبُّ، وَمُبَارَكٌ صَخْرَتِي. وَمُتَعَالٍ إِلَهُ خَلاصِي.

Jehovah liveth; And blessed be my rock; And exalted be God, the rock of my salvation,

٤٨ 48 الإِلَهُ الْمُنْتَقِمُ لِي، الَّذِي يُخْضِعُ الشُّعُوبَ لِسُلْطَانِي.

Even the God that executeth vengeance for me, And that bringeth down peoples under me,

٤٩ 49 مُنْقِذِي مِنْ أَعْدَائِي، رَافِعِي عَلَى الْمُتَمَرِّدِينَ وَمِنَ الرَّجُلِ الطّاغِي يُخَلِّصُنِي

And that bringeth me forth from mine enemies: Yea, thou liftest me up above them that rise up against me; Thou deliverest me from the violent man.

٥٠ 50 لِذَلِكَ أُسَبِّحُكَ يَا رَبُّ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ وأُرَنِّمُ لاِسْمِكَ.

Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O Jehovah, among the nations, And will sing praises unto thy name.

٥١ 51 يَا مَانِحَ الْخَلاصِ الْعَظِيمِ لِمَلِكِهِ وَصَانِعَ الرَّحْمَةِ لِمَسِيحِهِ، لِدَاوُدَ وَنَسْلِهِ إِلَى الأَبَدِ».

Great deliverance giveth he to his king, And showeth lovingkindness to his anointed, To David and to his seed, for evermore.
