المَزامِير 106

١ 1 هَلِّلُويَا. قَدِّمُوا الشُّكْرَ لِلرَّبِّ فَإِنَّهُ صَالِحٌ، لأَنَّ رَحْمَتَهُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ تَدُومُ.

Hallelujah! Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His loving devotion endures forever.

٢ 2 مَنْ ذَا يُحَدِّثُ بِأَفْعَالِ الرَّبِّ الْجَبَّارَةِ، وَيُخْبِرُ بِكُلِّ تَسْبِيحِهِ؟

Who can describe the mighty acts of the LORD or fully proclaim His praise?

٣ 3 طُوبَى لِلْعَامِلِينَ بِالْعَدْلِ وَالْبِرِّ فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ.

Blessed are those who uphold justice, who practice righteousness at all times.

٤ 4 يَا رَبُّ، اذْكُرْنِي فِي رِضَاكَ عَلَى شَعْبِكَ. تَعَهَّدْنِي بِخَلاصِكَ.

Remember me, O LORD, in Your favor to Your people; visit me with Your salvation,

٥ 5 لِكَيْ أَشْهَدَ نَجَاحَ مُخْتَارِيكَ وَلأَفْرَحَ بِفَرَحِ أُمَّتِكَ، وَأَفْتَخِرَ مَعَ مِيرَاثِكَ.

that I may see the prosperity of Your chosen ones, and rejoice in the gladness of Your nation, and give glory with Your inheritance.

٦ 6 قَدْ أَخْطَأْنَا مَعَ آبَائِنَا وَارْتَكَبْنَا الإِثْمَ وَالشَّرَّ.

We have sinned like our fathers; we have done wrong and acted wickedly.

٧ 7 لَمْ يَفْهَمْ آبَاؤُنَا فِي مِصْرَ عَجَائِبَكَ، وَلَمْ يَتَذَكَّرُوا وَفْرَةَ مَرَاحِمِكَ، بَلْ تَمَرَّدُوا عَلَيْكَ عِنْدَ الْبَحْرِ الأَحْمَرِ.

Our fathers in Egypt did not grasp Your wonders or remember Your abundant kindness; but they rebelled by the sea, there at the Red Sea.

٨ 8 لَكِنَّكَ خَلَّصْتَهُمْ مِنْ أَجْلِ اسْمِكَ إِعْلاناً لِقُوَّتِكَ الْعَظِيمَةِ.

Yet He saved them for the sake of His name, to make His power known.

٩ 9 انْتَهَرْتَ الْبَحْرَ الأَحْمَرَ، فَجَفَّ، وَاجْتَزْتَ بِهِمْ عَبْرَ اللُّجَجِ كَأَنَّهُمْ عَلَى أَرْضٍ جَافَّةٍ

He rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up; He led them through the depths as through a desert.

١٠ 10 أَنْقَذْتَهُمْ مِنْ يَدِ مُبْغِضِيهِمْ وَافْتَدَيْتَهُمْ مِنْ قَبْضَةِ الْعَدُوِّ.

He saved them from the hand that hated them; He redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

١١ 11 غَمَرَتِ الْمِيَاهُ مُطَارِدِيهِمْ حَتَّى لَمْ يَبْقَ مِنْهُمْ وَاحِدٌ.

The waters covered their foes; not one of them remained.

١٢ 12 عِنْدَئِذٍ آمَنُوا بِكَلامِهِ وَشَدُوا بِتَسْبِيحِهِ.

Then they believed His promises and sang His praise.

١٣ 13 وَلَكِنْ سَرْعَانَ مَا نَسُوا أَعْمَالَهُ! لَمْ يَنْتَظِرُوا مَشُورَتَهُ.

Yet they soon forgot His works and failed to wait for His counsel.

١٤ 14 بَلِ انْصَاعُوا لِشَهْوَتِهِمِ الشَّدِيدَةِ فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ، وَتَحَدَّوْا اللهَ فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ.

They craved intensely in the wilderness and tested God in the desert.

١٥ 15 فَلَبَّى سُؤْلَهُمْ وَلَكِنَّهُ أَصَابَ نُفُوسَهُمْ بِالسُّقْمِ.

So He granted their request, but sent a wasting disease upon them.

١٦ 16 ثُمَّ حَسَدُوا مُوسَى فِي الْمُخَيَّمِ، وَأَيْضاً هَارُونَ المُقَدَّسَ لِلرَّبِّ.

In the camp they envied Moses, as well as Aaron, the holy one of the LORD.

١٧ 17 انْفَتَحَتِ الأَرْضُ وَابْتَلَعَتْ دَاثَانَ، وَأَطْبَقَتْ عَلَى قَوْمِ أَبِيرَامَ.

The earth opened up and swallowed Dathan; it covered the assembly of Abiram.

١٨ 18 وَاشْتَعَلَتْ نَارٌ وَسَطَ جَمَاعَةِ قُورَحَ، أَحْرَقَ لَهِيبُهَا الأَشْرَارَ.

Then fire blazed through their company; flames consumed the wicked.

١٩ 19 صَاغُوا عِجْلاً فِي حُورِيبَ، وَسَجَدُوا لِتِمْثَالٍ مَسْبُوكٍ.

At Horeb they made a calf and worshiped a molten image.

٢٠ 20 اسْتَبْدَلُوا إِلَهَهُمُ الْمَجِيدَ بِصُورَةِ ثَوْرٍ آكِلِ عُشْبٍ.

They exchanged their Glory for the image of a grass-eating ox.

٢١ 21 نَسُوا اللهَ مُخَلِّصَهُمُ الَّذِي صَنَعَ الْعَظَائِمَ فِي مِصْرَ،

They forgot God their Savior, who did great things in Egypt,

٢٢ 22 الْمُعْجِزَاتِ فِي أَرْضِ حَامٍ، وَالآيَاتِ الْمُخِيفَةَ عِنْدَ الْبَحْرِ الأَحْمَرِ.

wondrous works in the land of Ham, and awesome deeds by the Red Sea.

٢٣ 23 فَأَوْشَكَ أَنْ يُبِيدَهُمْ كَقَوْلِهِ، لَوْلَا أَنَّ مُوسَى مُخْتَارَهُ وَقَفَ فِي الثَّغْرَةِ أَمَامَهُ يَشْفَعُ فِيهِمْ لِيَرُدَّ غَضَبَهُ فَلَا يُهْلِكَهُمْ.

So He said He would destroy them— had not Moses His chosen one stood before Him in the breach to divert His wrath from destroying them.

٢٤ 24 ثُمَّ اسْتَهَانُوا بِالأَرْضِ الشَّهِيَّةِ وَلَمْ يُصَدِّقُوا كَلامَ الرَّبِّ.

They despised the pleasant land; they did not believe His promise.

٢٥ 25 بَلْ تَذَمَّرُوا دَاخِلَ خِيَامِهِمْ، غَيْرَ مُنْصِتِينَ لِصَوْتِ الرَّبِّ.

They grumbled in their tents and did not listen to the voice of the LORD.

٢٦ 26 فَأَقْسَمَ أَنْ يُهْلِكَهُمْ فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ،

So He raised His hand and swore to cast them down in the wilderness,

٢٧ 27 يُسْقِطَ ذُرِّيَّتَهُمْ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ، وَيُشَتِّتَهُمْ فِي البُلْدَانِ.

to disperse their offspring among the nations and scatter them throughout the lands.

٢٨ 28 وَتَعَلَّقُوا بِبَعْلِ فَغُورَ وَأَكَلُوا ذَبَائِحَ الْمَوْتَى.

They yoked themselves to Baal of Peor and ate sacrifices offered to lifeless gods.

٢٩ 29 وَأَثَارُوا غَضَبَ الرَّبِّ بِأَعْمَالِهِمِ الشِّرِّيرَةِ، فَتَفَشَّى بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَأٌ مُفَاجِئٌ.

So they provoked the LORD to anger with their deeds, and a plague broke out among them.

٣٠ 30 فَوَقَفَ فِينَحَاسُ وَأَجْرَى الْقَضَاءَ، فَامْتَنَعَ الْوَبَأُ.

But Phinehas stood and intervened, and the plague was restrained.

٣١ 31 فَحُسِبَ لَهُ ذَلِكَ بِرّاً جِيلاً فَجِيلاً إِلَى الأَبَدِ.

It was credited to him as righteousness for endless generations to come.

٣٢ 32 ثُمَّ أَسْخَطُوا الرَّبَّ عِنْدَ مِيَاهِ مَرِيبَةَ (أَي الْخُصُومَةِ) حَتَّى تَأَذَّى مُوسَى بِسَبَبِهِمْ،

At the waters of Meribah they angered the LORD, and trouble came to Moses because of them.

٣٣ 33 إِذِ اسْتَفَزُّوا رُوحَهُ فَأَفْرَطَتْ شَفَتَاهُ بِالكَلامِ.

For they rebelled against His Spirit, and Moses spoke rashly with his lips.

٣٤ 34 لَمْ يَسْتَأْصِلُوا الشُّعُوبَ مِثْلَمَا أَمَرَهُمُ الرَّبُّ.

They did not destroy the peoples as the LORD had commanded them,

٣٥ 35 بَلْ خَالَطُوا الأُمَمَ الْوَثَنِيَّةَ وَتَعَلَّمُوا أَعْمَالَهُمْ.

but they mingled with the nations and adopted their customs.

٣٦ 36 تَعَبَّدُوا لأَوْثَانِهِمْ فَصَارَتْ لَهُمْ فَخّاً.

They worshiped their idols, which became a snare to them.

٣٧ 37 ضَحَّوْا بِأَبْنَائِهِمْ وَبَنَاتِهِمْ لِلشَّيَاطِينِ.

They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons.

٣٨ 38 سَفَكُوا دَماً بَرِيئاً، دَمَ بَنِيهِمْ وَبَنَاتِهِمِ الَّذِينَ ذَبَحُوهُمْ لأَصْنَامِ الْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ، فَتَدَنَّسَتِ الأَرْضُ بِالدِّمَاءِ.

They shed innocent blood— the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, and the land was polluted with blood.

٣٩ 39 لِذَلِكَ تَنَجَّسُوا بِأَعْمَالِهِمْ، وَخَانُوا الرَّبَّ بِأَفْعَالِهِمْ

They defiled themselves by their actions and prostituted themselves by their deeds.

٤٠ 40 فَالْتَهَبَ غَضَبُ الرَّبِّ عَلَى شَعْبِهِ، وَمَقَتَ مِيرَاثَهُ.

So the anger of the LORD burned against His people, and He abhorred His own inheritance.

٤١ 41 وَأَسْلَمَهُمْ إِلَى أَيْدِي الأُمَمِ، فَتَسَلَّطَ عَلَيْهِمْ مُبْغِضُوهُمْ.

He delivered them into the hand of the nations, and those who hated them ruled over them.

٤٢ 42 وَضَايَقَهُمْ أَعْدَاؤُهُمْ حَتَّى ذَلُّوا تَحْتَ أَيْدِيهِمْ.

Their enemies oppressed them, and subdued them under their hand.

٤٣ 43 مَرَّاتٍ كَثِيرَةً أَنْقَذَهُمْ، أَمَّا هُمْ فَعَصَوْهُ وَانْحَطُّوا فِي آثَامِهِمْ.

Many times He rescued them, but they were bent on rebellion and sank down in their iniquity.

٤٤ 44 غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ الْتَفَتَ إِلَى ضِيقَتِهِمْ إِذْ سَمِعَ صُرَاخَهُمْ.

Nevertheless He heard their cry; He took note of their distress.

٤٥ 45 تَذَكَّرَ عَهْدَهُ لَهُمْ وَرَقَّ لَهُمْ حَسَبَ كَثْرَةِ رَحْمَتِهِ،

And He remembered His covenant with them, and relented by the abundance of His loving devotion.

٤٦ 46 فَأَنَالَهُمْ حُظْوَةً لَدَى جَمِيعِ آسِرِيهِمْ.

He made them objects of compassion to all who held them captive.

٤٧ 47 خَلِّصْنَا أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا، وَاجْمَعْ شَمْلَنَا مِنْ بَيْنِ الأُمَمِ لِنَرْفَعَ الشُّكْرَ لاسْمِكَ الْقُدُّوسِ وَنَفْتَخِرَ بِتَسْبِيحِكَ.

Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from the nations, that we may give thanks to Your holy name, that we may glory in Your praise.

٤٨ 48 مُبَارَكٌ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنَ الأَزَلِ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. وَلْيَقُلِ الشَّعْبُ كُلُّهُ: آمِين. هَلِّلُويَا.

Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Let all the people say, “Amen!” Hallelujah!
