المَزامِير 107
| ارْفَعُوا الشُّكْرَ لِلرَّبِّ لأَنَّهُ صَالِحٌ، وَرَحْمَتَهُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ تَدُومُ. | ١ 1 |
Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.
| لِيَقُلْ هَذَا مَفْدِيُّو الرَّبِّ، الَّذِينَ افْتَدَاهُمْ مِنْ يَدِ ظَالِمِهِمْ. | ٢ 2 |
Let the redeemed by the LORD say so, whom he has redeemed from the hand of the adversary,
| لَمَّ شَتَاتَهُمْ مِنَ الْبُلْدَانِ: مِنَ الشَّرْقِ وَالْغَرْبِ، مِنَ الشِّمَالِ وَالْجَنُوبِ. | ٣ 3 |
and gathered out of the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south.
| تَاهُوا فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ، فِي صَحْرَاءَ بِلَا طَرِيقٍ، وَلَمْ يَجِدُوا مَدِينَةً يَسْكُنُونَ فِيهَا. | ٤ 4 |
They wandered in the wilderness in a desert way. They found no city to live in.
| جَاعُوا وَعَطِشُوا حَتَّى خَارَتْ نُفُوسُهُمْ فِي دَاخِلِهِمْ. | ٥ 5 |
Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.
| فَاسْتَغَاثُوا بِالرَّبِّ فِي ضِيقِهِمْ، فَأَنْقَذَهُمْ مِنْ مَصَائِبِهِمْ. | ٦ 6 |
Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.
| وَهَدَاهُمْ طَرِيقاً مُسْتَقِيماً لِيَتَوَجَّهُوا إِلَى مَدِينَةٍ لِلسَّكَنِ. | ٧ 7 |
He led them also by a straight way, that they might go to a city to live in.
| فَلْيَرْفَعُوا الشُّكْرَ لِلرَّبِّ عَلَى رَحْمَتِهِ وَعَلَى عَجَائِبِهِ لِبَنِي آدَمَ. | ٨ 8 |
Let them praise the LORD for his loving kindness, for his wonderful deeds to the children of men!
| لأَنَّهُ أَشْبَعَ النَّفْسَ الْمُتَلَهِّفَةَ وَمَلأَ النَّفْسَ الْجَائِعَةَ خَيْراً. | ٩ 9 |
For he satisfies the longing soul. He fills the hungry soul with good.
| كَانُوا جَالِسِينَ كَالأَسْرَى فِي الظَّلامِ وَظِلالِ الْمَوْتِ، مُوْثَقِينَ بِالذُّلِّ وَالْحَدِيدِ، | ١٠ 10 |
Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron,
| لأَنَّهُمْ تَمَرَّدُوا عَلَى كَلامِ اللهِ، وَاسْتَهَانُوا بِمَشُورَةِ الْعَلِيِّ. | ١١ 11 |
because they rebelled against the words of God, and condemned the counsel of the Most High.
| فَأَذَلَّ قُلُوبَهُمْ بِالْجَهْدِ الْمُضْنِي. تَعَثَّرُوا وَلَمْ يَكُنْ مِنْ مُعِينٍ. | ١٢ 12 |
Therefore he brought down their heart with labor. They fell down, and there was no one to help.
| ثُمَّ اسْتَغَاثُوا بِالرَّبِّ فِي ضِيقِهِمْ فَأَنْقَذَهُمْ مِنْ مَصَائِبِهِمْ. | ١٣ 13 |
Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.
| أَخْرَجَهُمْ مِنَ الظَّلامِ وَظِلالِ الْمَوْتِ وَحَطَّمَ قُيُودَهُمْ. | ١٤ 14 |
He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and broke away their chains.
| فَلْيَرْفَعُوا الشُّكْرَ لِلرَّبِّ عَلَى رَحْمَتِهِ، وَعَلَى عَجَائِبِهِ لِبَنِي آدَمَ. | ١٥ 15 |
Let them praise the LORD for his loving kindness, for his wonderful deeds to the children of men!
| لأَنَّهُ كَسَّرَ أَبْوَابَ النُّحَاسِ، وَقَطَّعَ عَوَارِضَ الْحَدِيدِ. | ١٦ 16 |
For he has broken the gates of bronze, and cut through bars of iron.
| سَفِهُوا فِي جَهْلِهِمْ وَسَقِمُوا مِنْ جَرَّاءِ آثَامِهِمْ. | ١٧ 17 |
Fools are afflicted because of their disobedience, and because of their iniquities.
| عَافَتْ أَنْفُسُهُمْ كُلَّ طَعَامٍ، فَصَارُوا عَلَى شَفَا الْمَوْتِ. | ١٨ 18 |
Their soul abhors all kinds of food. They draw near to the gates of death.
| ثُمَّ اسْتَغَاثُوا بِالرَّبِّ فِي ضِيقِهِمْ، فَأَنْقَذَهُمْ مِنْ مَصَائِبِهِمْ. | ١٩ 19 |
Then they cry to the LORD in their trouble, and he saves them out of their distresses.
| أَصْدَرَ أَمْرَهُ فَشَفَاهُمْ، وَخَلَّصَهُمْ مِنْ مَهَالِكِهِمْ. | ٢٠ 20 |
He sends his word, and heals them, and delivers them from their graves.
| فَلْيَرْفَعُوا الشُّكْرَ لِلرَّبِّ عَلَى رَحْمَتِهِ، وَعَلَى عَجَائِبِهِ لِبَنِي آدَمَ. | ٢١ 21 |
Let them praise the LORD for his loving kindness, for his wonderful deeds to the children of men!
| وَلْيُقَرِّبُوا لَهُ ذَبَائِحَ الشُّكْرِ، وَيُحَدِّثُوا بِأَعْمَالِهِ بِتَرَانِيمِ الْفَرَحِ. | ٢٢ 22 |
Let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his deeds with singing.
| رَكِبَ بَعْضُهُمُ الْبِحَارَ فِي السُّفُنِ التِّجَارِيَّةِ، لِيَكْسَبُوا رِزْقَهُمْ، | ٢٣ 23 |
Those who go down to the sea in ships, who do business in great waters,
| وَرَأَوْا أَعْمَالَ الرَّبِّ وَعَجَائِبَهُ فِي عُمْقِ الْمِيَاهِ. | ٢٤ 24 |
these see the LORD’s deeds, and his wonders in the deep.
| فَإِنَّهُ بِأَمْرِهِ أَثَارَ رِيحاً عَاصِفَةً فَأَهَاجَتْ أَمْوَاجَ الْبَحْرِ | ٢٥ 25 |
For he commands, and raises the stormy wind, which lifts up its waves.
| فَارْتَفَعَتِ السُّفُنُ إِلَى الأَعَالِي، ثُمَّ هَبَطَتْ إِلَى الأَعْمَاقِ، حَتَّى ذَابَتْ نُفُوسُهُمْ مِنَ الْفَزَعِ. | ٢٦ 26 |
They mount up to the sky; they go down again to the depths. Their soul melts away because of trouble.
| تَمَايَلُوا وَتَرَنَّحُوا مِثْلَ السَّكْرَانِ، وَأَعْيَتْهُمُ الْحِيلَةُ. | ٢٧ 27 |
They reel back and forth, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits’ end.
| ثُمَّ اسْتَغَاثُوا بِالرَّبِّ فِي ضِيقِهِمْ، فَأَنْقَذَهُمْ مِنْ مَصَائِبِهِمْ. | ٢٨ 28 |
Then they cry to the LORD in their trouble, and he brings them out of their distress.
| هَدَّأَ الْعَاصِفَةَ الشَّدِيدَةَ، وَسَكَّنَ الأَمْوَاجَ. | ٢٩ 29 |
He makes the storm a calm, so that its waves are still.
| فَفَرِحُوا بِهُدُوئِهَا، ثُمَّ اقْتَادَهُمْ إِلَى الْمَرْفَأ الْمَنْشُودِ. | ٣٠ 30 |
Then they are glad because it is calm, so he brings them to their desired haven.
| فَلْيَرْفَعُوا الشُّكْرَ عَلَى رَحْمَتِهِ، وَعَلَى عَجَائِبِهِ لِبَنِي آدَمَ. | ٣١ 31 |
Let them praise the LORD for his loving kindness, for his wonderful deeds for the children of men!
| وَلْيُعَظِّمُوهُ فِي مَحْفَلِ الشَّعْبِ، وَلْيُسَبِّحُوهُ فِي اجْتِمَاعِ الشُّيُوخِ. | ٣٢ 32 |
Let them exalt him also in the assembly of the people, and praise him in the seat of the elders.
| إِنَّهُ يُحَوِّلُ الأَنْهَارَ إِلَى قِفَارٍ، وَيَنَابِيعَ الْمَاءِ إِلَى أَرْضٍ عَطْشَى. | ٣٣ 33 |
He turns rivers into a desert, water springs into a thirsty ground,
| يَجْعَلُ الْحُقُولَ الْخَصِيبَةَ أَرْضاً مَلِحَةً جَرْدَاءَ مِنْ جَرَّاءِ شَرِّ سُكَّانِهَا. | ٣٤ 34 |
and a fruitful land into a salt waste, for the wickedness of those who dwell in it.
| يُحَوِّلُ الْبَرِّيَّةَ إِلَى وَاحَةٍ، وَالأَرْضَ الْقَاحِلَةَ يَنَابِيعَ مِيَاهٍ. | ٣٥ 35 |
He turns a desert into a pool of water, and a dry land into water springs.
| يُسْكِنُ هُنَاكَ الْجِيَاعَ فَيُنْشِئُونَ مَدِينَةً آهِلَةً. | ٣٦ 36 |
There he makes the hungry live, that they may prepare a city to live in,
| وَيَزْرَعُونَ حُقُولاً وَيَغْرِسُونَ كُرُوماً تُنْتِجُ لَهُمْ غِلَالاً وَفِيرَةً. | ٣٧ 37 |
sow fields, plant vineyards, and reap the fruits of increase.
| وَيُبَارِكُهُمْ أَيْضاً فَيَتَكَاثَرُونَ جِدّاً، وَلَا يَدَعُ مَوَاشِيَهُمْ تَتَنَاقَصُ. | ٣٨ 38 |
He blesses them also, so that they are multiplied greatly. He does not allow their livestock to decrease.
| عِنْدَمَا يَقِلُّ الشَّعْبُ وَيَذِلُّ بِفِعْلِ الضِّيقِ وَالْبَلايَا وَالأَحْزَانِ، | ٣٩ 39 |
Again, they are diminished and bowed down through oppression, trouble, and sorrow.
| يَصُبُّ اللهُ الْهَوَانَ عَلَى الرُّؤَسَاءِ، وَيُضِلُّهُمْ فِي أَرْضِ تِيهٍ لَيْسَ فِيهَا طَرِيقٌ. | ٤٠ 40 |
He pours contempt on princes, and causes them to wander in a trackless waste.
| لَكِنَّهُ يُنْقِذُ الْمُحْتَاجِينَ مِنَ الْبُؤْسِ، وَيُكَثِّرُ عَشَائِرَهُمْ مِثْلَ قُطْعَانِ الْغَنَمِ. | ٤١ 41 |
Yet he lifts the needy out of their affliction, and increases their families like a flock.
| يَرَى الْمُسْتَقِيمُونَ هَذَا وَيَفْرَحُونَ، أَمَّا الأَثَمَةُ فَيَخْرَسُونَ. | ٤٢ 42 |
The upright will see it, and be glad. All the wicked will shut their mouths.
| فَلْيَتَأَمَّلْ كُلُّ حَكِيمٍ فِي هَذِهِ الأُمُورِ، وَيُمْعِنِ النَّظَرَ فِي مَرَاحِمِ الرَّبِّ. | ٤٣ 43 |
Whoever is wise will pay attention to these things. They will consider the loving kindnesses of the LORD.
