ارْفَعُوا الشُّكْرَ لِلرَّبِّ لأَنَّهُ صَالِحٌ، وَرَحْمَتَهُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ تَدُومُ. ١ 1
O give thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; For his lovingkindness [endureth] for ever.
لِيَقُلْ هَذَا مَفْدِيُّو الرَّبِّ، الَّذِينَ افْتَدَاهُمْ مِنْ يَدِ ظَالِمِهِمْ. ٢ 2
Let the redeemed of Jehovah say [so], Whom he hath 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 of habitation.
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 unto Jehovah 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 of habitation.
فَلْيَرْفَعُوا الشُّكْرَ لِلرَّبِّ عَلَى رَحْمَتِهِ وَعَلَى عَجَائِبِهِ لِبَنِي آدَمَ. ٨ 8
Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness, And for his wonderful works to the children of men!
لأَنَّهُ أَشْبَعَ النَّفْسَ الْمُتَلَهِّفَةَ وَمَلأَ النَّفْسَ الْجَائِعَةَ خَيْراً. ٩ 9
For he satisfieth the longing soul, And the hungry soul he filleth with good.
كَانُوا جَالِسِينَ كَالأَسْرَى فِي الظَّلامِ وَظِلالِ الْمَوْتِ، مُوْثَقِينَ بِالذُّلِّ وَالْحَدِيدِ، ١٠ 10
Such as 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 contemned 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 none to help.
ثُمَّ اسْتَغَاثُوا بِالرَّبِّ فِي ضِيقِهِمْ فَأَنْقَذَهُمْ مِنْ مَصَائِبِهِمْ. ١٣ 13
Then they cried unto Jehovah 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 brake their bonds in sunder.
فَلْيَرْفَعُوا الشُّكْرَ لِلرَّبِّ عَلَى رَحْمَتِهِ، وَعَلَى عَجَائِبِهِ لِبَنِي آدَمَ. ١٥ 15
Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness, And for his wonderful works to the children of men!
لأَنَّهُ كَسَّرَ أَبْوَابَ النُّحَاسِ، وَقَطَّعَ عَوَارِضَ الْحَدِيدِ. ١٦ 16
For he hath broken the gates of brass, And cut the bars of iron in sunder.
سَفِهُوا فِي جَهْلِهِمْ وَسَقِمُوا مِنْ جَرَّاءِ آثَامِهِمْ. ١٧ 17
Fools because of their transgression, And because of their iniquities, are afflicted.
عَافَتْ أَنْفُسُهُمْ كُلَّ طَعَامٍ، فَصَارُوا عَلَى شَفَا الْمَوْتِ. ١٨ 18
Their soul abhorreth all manner of food; And they draw near unto the gates of death.
ثُمَّ اسْتَغَاثُوا بِالرَّبِّ فِي ضِيقِهِمْ، فَأَنْقَذَهُمْ مِنْ مَصَائِبِهِمْ. ١٩ 19
Then they cry unto Jehovah in their trouble, And he saveth them out of their distresses.
أَصْدَرَ أَمْرَهُ فَشَفَاهُمْ، وَخَلَّصَهُمْ مِنْ مَهَالِكِهِمْ. ٢٠ 20
He sendeth his word, and healeth them, And delivereth [them] from their destructions.
فَلْيَرْفَعُوا الشُّكْرَ لِلرَّبِّ عَلَى رَحْمَتِهِ، وَعَلَى عَجَائِبِهِ لِبَنِي آدَمَ. ٢١ 21
Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness, And for his wonderful works to the children of men!
وَلْيُقَرِّبُوا لَهُ ذَبَائِحَ الشُّكْرِ، وَيُحَدِّثُوا بِأَعْمَالِهِ بِتَرَانِيمِ الْفَرَحِ. ٢٢ 22
And let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving, And declare his works with singing.
رَكِبَ بَعْضُهُمُ الْبِحَارَ فِي السُّفُنِ التِّجَارِيَّةِ، لِيَكْسَبُوا رِزْقَهُمْ، ٢٣ 23
They that go down to the sea in ships, That do business in great waters;
وَرَأَوْا أَعْمَالَ الرَّبِّ وَعَجَائِبَهُ فِي عُمْقِ الْمِيَاهِ. ٢٤ 24
These see the works of Jehovah, And his wonders in the deep.
فَإِنَّهُ بِأَمْرِهِ أَثَارَ رِيحاً عَاصِفَةً فَأَهَاجَتْ أَمْوَاجَ الْبَحْرِ ٢٥ 25
For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, Which lifteth up the waves thereof.
فَارْتَفَعَتِ السُّفُنُ إِلَى الأَعَالِي، ثُمَّ هَبَطَتْ إِلَى الأَعْمَاقِ، حَتَّى ذَابَتْ نُفُوسُهُمْ مِنَ الْفَزَعِ. ٢٦ 26
They mount up to the heavens, they go down again to the depths: Their soul melteth away because of trouble.
تَمَايَلُوا وَتَرَنَّحُوا مِثْلَ السَّكْرَانِ، وَأَعْيَتْهُمُ الْحِيلَةُ. ٢٧ 27
They reel to and fro, 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 unto Jehovah in their trouble, And he bringeth them out of their distresses.
هَدَّأَ الْعَاصِفَةَ الشَّدِيدَةَ، وَسَكَّنَ الأَمْوَاجَ. ٢٩ 29
He maketh the storm a calm, So that the waves thereof are still.
فَفَرِحُوا بِهُدُوئِهَا، ثُمَّ اقْتَادَهُمْ إِلَى الْمَرْفَأ الْمَنْشُودِ. ٣٠ 30
Then are they glad because they are quiet; So he bringeth them unto their desired haven.
فَلْيَرْفَعُوا الشُّكْرَ عَلَى رَحْمَتِهِ، وَعَلَى عَجَائِبِهِ لِبَنِي آدَمَ. ٣١ 31
Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness, And for his wonderful works to 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 turneth rivers into a wilderness, And watersprings into a thirsty ground;
يَجْعَلُ الْحُقُولَ الْخَصِيبَةَ أَرْضاً مَلِحَةً جَرْدَاءَ مِنْ جَرَّاءِ شَرِّ سُكَّانِهَا. ٣٤ 34
A fruitful land into a salt desert, For the wickedness of them that dwell therein.
يُحَوِّلُ الْبَرِّيَّةَ إِلَى وَاحَةٍ، وَالأَرْضَ الْقَاحِلَةَ يَنَابِيعَ مِيَاهٍ. ٣٥ 35
He turneth a wilderness into a pool of water, And a dry land into watersprings.
يُسْكِنُ هُنَاكَ الْجِيَاعَ فَيُنْشِئُونَ مَدِينَةً آهِلَةً. ٣٦ 36
And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, That they may prepare a city of habitation,
وَيَزْرَعُونَ حُقُولاً وَيَغْرِسُونَ كُرُوماً تُنْتِجُ لَهُمْ غِلَالاً وَفِيرَةً. ٣٧ 37
And sow fields, and plant vineyards, And get them fruits of increase.
وَيُبَارِكُهُمْ أَيْضاً فَيَتَكَاثَرُونَ جِدّاً، وَلَا يَدَعُ مَوَاشِيَهُمْ تَتَنَاقَصُ. ٣٨ 38
He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; And he suffereth not their cattle 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 poureth contempt upon princes, And causeth them to wander in the waste, where there is no way.
لَكِنَّهُ يُنْقِذُ الْمُحْتَاجِينَ مِنَ الْبُؤْسِ، وَيُكَثِّرُ عَشَائِرَهُمْ مِثْلَ قُطْعَانِ الْغَنَمِ. ٤١ 41
Yet setteth he the needy on high from affliction, And maketh [him] families like a flock.
يَرَى الْمُسْتَقِيمُونَ هَذَا وَيَفْرَحُونَ، أَمَّا الأَثَمَةُ فَيَخْرَسُونَ. ٤٢ 42
The upright shall see it, and be glad; And all iniquity shall stop her mouth.
فَلْيَتَأَمَّلْ كُلُّ حَكِيمٍ فِي هَذِهِ الأُمُورِ، وَيُمْعِنِ النَّظَرَ فِي مَرَاحِمِ الرَّبِّ. ٤٣ 43
Whoso is wise will give heed to these things; And they will consider the lovingkindnesses of Jehovah.
