2 صَمُوئيل 22

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

David spoke to the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD 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: “The LORD is my rock, 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 is my rock in whom I take refuge; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge. My savior, you save me from violence.

٤ 4 أَدْعُو الرَّبَّ الجَدِيرَ بِكُلِّ حَمْدٍ فَيُخَلِّصُنِي مِنْ أَعْدَائِي.

I call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; So shall I be saved from my enemies.

٥ 5 طَوَّقَتْنِي أَمْوَاجُ الْمَوْتِ وَسُيُولُ الْهَلاكِ غَمَرَتْنِي.

For the waves of death surrounded 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 around me. The snares of death caught me. (Sheol h7585)

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

In my distress, I called on the LORD. Yes, I called to my God. He heard my voice out of his temple. 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 angry.

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

Smoke went up out of his nostrils. Consuming fire came out of his mouth. Coals were kindled by it.

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

He bowed the heavens also, and came down. Thick darkness was under his feet.

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

He rode on a cherub, and flew. Yes, he was seen on the wings of the wind.

١٢ 12 أَحَاطَتْ بِهِ الظُّلْمَةُ كَالْمِظَلَّاتِ وَاكْتَنَفَتْهُ السُّحُبُ الْمُتَكَاثِفَةُ واللُّجَجُ.

He made darkness a shelter around himself, gathering of waters, and 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.

The LORD thundered from heaven. The Most High uttered his voice.

١٥ 15 أَطْلَقَ سِهَامَهُ فبَدَّدَ الأَعْدَاءَ، وَأَرْسَلَ بُرُوقَهُ فَأَزْعَجَهُمْ.

He sent out arrows and scattered them, lightning and confused 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 LORD’s rebuke, 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 and 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 those who hated me, for they were too mighty for me.

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

They came on me in the day of my calamity, but the LORD was my support.

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

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

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

The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness. He rewarded me according to the cleanness of my hands.

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

For I have kept the LORD’s ways, 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. As for his statutes, I didn’t depart from them.

٢٤ 24 فَكُنْتُ كَامِلاً لَدَيْهِ، وَصُنْتُ نَفْسِي مِنَ الإِثْمِ.

I was also perfect toward him. I kept myself from my iniquity.

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

Therefore the LORD has rewarded 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 you will show yourself merciful. With the perfect man you will show yourself perfect.

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

With the pure you will show yourself pure. With the crooked you will show yourself shrewd.

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

You will save the afflicted people, but your eyes are on the arrogant, that you may bring them down.

٢٩ 29 يَا رَبُّ أَنْتَ سِرَاجِي. الرَّبُّ يُضِيءُ ظُلْمَتِي.

For you are my lamp, LORD. The LORD will light up my darkness.

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

For by you, I run against a troop. By my God, 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 LORD’s word is tested. He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.

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

For who is God, besides the LORD? Who is a rock, besides our God?

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

God is my strong fortress. He makes my way perfect.

٣٤ 34 يَجْعَلُ رِجْلَيَّ كَرِجْلَيِ الإِيَّلِ وَيُقِيمُنِي آمِناً عَلَى الْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ.

He makes his feet like hinds’ feet, and sets me on my high places.

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

He teaches my hands to war, so that my arms bend a bow of bronze.

٣٦ 36 تُعْطِينِي تُرْسَ خَلاصِكَ، وَبِلُطْفِكَ تُعَظِّمُنِي.

You have also given me the shield of your salvation. Your gentleness has made me great.

٣٧ 37 وَسَّعْتَ طَرِيقِي تَحْتَ قَدَمَيَّ فَلَمْ تَتَعَثَّرْ رِجْلايْ.

You have enlarged my steps under me. My feet have not slipped.

٣٨ 38 أُطَارِدُ أَعْدَائِي فَأُدْرِكُهُمْ، وَلا أَرْجِعُ حَتَّى أُبِيدَهُمْ.

I have pursued my enemies and destroyed them. I didn’t turn again until they were consumed.

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

I have consumed them, and struck them through, so that they can’t arise. Yes, they have fallen under my feet.

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

For you have armed me with strength for the battle. You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.

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

You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, that I might cut off those who hate me.

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

They looked, but there was no one to save; even to the LORD, but he didn’t answer them.

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

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

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

You also have delivered me from the strivings of my people. You have kept me to be the head of the nations. A people whom I have not known will serve me.

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

The foreigners will submit themselves to me. As soon as they hear of me, they will obey me.

٤٦ 46 الْغُرَبَاءُ يَخُورُونَ، يَخْرُجُونَ مِنْ حُصُونِهِمْ مُرْتَعِدِينَ.

The foreigners will fade away, and will come trembling out of their close places.

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

The LORD lives! Blessed be my rock! Exalted be God, the rock of my salvation,

٤٨ 48 الإِلَهُ الْمُنْتَقِمُ لِي، الَّذِي يُخْضِعُ الشُّعُوبَ لِسُلْطَانِي.

even the God who executes vengeance for me, who brings down peoples under me,

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

who brings me away from my enemies. Yes, you lift me up above those who rise up against me. You deliver me from the violent man.

٥٠ 50 لِذَلِكَ أُسَبِّحُكَ يَا رَبُّ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ وأُرَنِّمُ لاِسْمِكَ.

Therefore I will give thanks to you, LORD, among the nations, and will sing praises to your name.

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

He gives great deliverance to his king, and shows loving kindness to his anointed, to David and to his offspring, forever more.”
