ارْفَعُوا الشُّكْرَ لِلرَّبِّ لأَنَّهُ صَالِحٌ، وَرَحْمَتَهُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ تَدُومُ. ١ 1
Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His loving devotion endures forever.
لِيَقُلْ هَذَا مَفْدِيُّو الرَّبِّ، الَّذِينَ افْتَدَاهُمْ مِنْ يَدِ ظَالِمِهِمْ. ٢ 2
Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy
لَمَّ شَتَاتَهُمْ مِنَ الْبُلْدَانِ: مِنَ الشَّرْقِ وَالْغَرْبِ، مِنَ الشِّمَالِ وَالْجَنُوبِ. ٣ 3
and gathered from the lands, from east and west, from north and south.
تَاهُوا فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ، فِي صَحْرَاءَ بِلَا طَرِيقٍ، وَلَمْ يَجِدُوا مَدِينَةً يَسْكُنُونَ فِيهَا. ٤ 4
Some wandered in desert wastelands, finding no path to a city in which to dwell.
جَاعُوا وَعَطِشُوا حَتَّى خَارَتْ نُفُوسُهُمْ فِي دَاخِلِهِمْ. ٥ 5
They were hungry and thirsty; their soul fainted within them.
فَاسْتَغَاثُوا بِالرَّبِّ فِي ضِيقِهِمْ، فَأَنْقَذَهُمْ مِنْ مَصَائِبِهِمْ. ٦ 6
Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and He delivered them from their distress.
وَهَدَاهُمْ طَرِيقاً مُسْتَقِيماً لِيَتَوَجَّهُوا إِلَى مَدِينَةٍ لِلسَّكَنِ. ٧ 7
He led them on a straight path to reach a city where they could live.
فَلْيَرْفَعُوا الشُّكْرَ لِلرَّبِّ عَلَى رَحْمَتِهِ وَعَلَى عَجَائِبِهِ لِبَنِي آدَمَ. ٨ 8
Let them give thanks to the LORD for His loving devotion and His wonders to the sons of men.
لأَنَّهُ أَشْبَعَ النَّفْسَ الْمُتَلَهِّفَةَ وَمَلأَ النَّفْسَ الْجَائِعَةَ خَيْراً. ٩ 9
For He satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.
كَانُوا جَالِسِينَ كَالأَسْرَى فِي الظَّلامِ وَظِلالِ الْمَوْتِ، مُوْثَقِينَ بِالذُّلِّ وَالْحَدِيدِ، ١٠ 10
Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, prisoners in affliction and chains,
لأَنَّهُمْ تَمَرَّدُوا عَلَى كَلامِ اللهِ، وَاسْتَهَانُوا بِمَشُورَةِ الْعَلِيِّ. ١١ 11
because they rebelled against the words of God and despised the counsel of the Most High.
فَأَذَلَّ قُلُوبَهُمْ بِالْجَهْدِ الْمُضْنِي. تَعَثَّرُوا وَلَمْ يَكُنْ مِنْ مُعِينٍ. ١٢ 12
He humbled their hearts with hard labor; they stumbled, and there was no one to help.
ثُمَّ اسْتَغَاثُوا بِالرَّبِّ فِي ضِيقِهِمْ فَأَنْقَذَهُمْ مِنْ مَصَائِبِهِمْ. ١٣ 13
Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and He saved them from their distress.
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 give thanks to the LORD for His loving devotion and His wonders to the sons of men.
لأَنَّهُ كَسَّرَ أَبْوَابَ النُّحَاسِ، وَقَطَّعَ عَوَارِضَ الْحَدِيدِ. ١٦ 16
For He has broken down the gates of bronze and cut through the bars of iron.
سَفِهُوا فِي جَهْلِهِمْ وَسَقِمُوا مِنْ جَرَّاءِ آثَامِهِمْ. ١٧ 17
Fools, in their rebellious ways, and through their iniquities, suffered affliction.
عَافَتْ أَنْفُسُهُمْ كُلَّ طَعَامٍ، فَصَارُوا عَلَى شَفَا الْمَوْتِ. ١٨ 18
They loathed all food and drew near to the gates of death.
ثُمَّ اسْتَغَاثُوا بِالرَّبِّ فِي ضِيقِهِمْ، فَأَنْقَذَهُمْ مِنْ مَصَائِبِهِمْ. ١٩ 19
Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and He saved them from their distress.
أَصْدَرَ أَمْرَهُ فَشَفَاهُمْ، وَخَلَّصَهُمْ مِنْ مَهَالِكِهِمْ. ٢٠ 20
He sent forth His word and healed them; He rescued them from the Pit.
فَلْيَرْفَعُوا الشُّكْرَ لِلرَّبِّ عَلَى رَحْمَتِهِ، وَعَلَى عَجَائِبِهِ لِبَنِي آدَمَ. ٢١ 21
Let them give thanks to the LORD for His loving devotion and His wonders to the sons of men.
وَلْيُقَرِّبُوا لَهُ ذَبَائِحَ الشُّكْرِ، وَيُحَدِّثُوا بِأَعْمَالِهِ بِتَرَانِيمِ الْفَرَحِ. ٢٢ 22
Let them offer sacrifices of thanksgiving and declare His works with rejoicing.
رَكِبَ بَعْضُهُمُ الْبِحَارَ فِي السُّفُنِ التِّجَارِيَّةِ، لِيَكْسَبُوا رِزْقَهُمْ، ٢٣ 23
Others went out to sea in ships, conducting trade on the mighty waters.
وَرَأَوْا أَعْمَالَ الرَّبِّ وَعَجَائِبَهُ فِي عُمْقِ الْمِيَاهِ. ٢٤ 24
They saw the works of the LORD, and His wonders in the deep.
فَإِنَّهُ بِأَمْرِهِ أَثَارَ رِيحاً عَاصِفَةً فَأَهَاجَتْ أَمْوَاجَ الْبَحْرِ ٢٥ 25
For He spoke and raised a tempest that lifted the waves of the sea.
فَارْتَفَعَتِ السُّفُنُ إِلَى الأَعَالِي، ثُمَّ هَبَطَتْ إِلَى الأَعْمَاقِ، حَتَّى ذَابَتْ نُفُوسُهُمْ مِنَ الْفَزَعِ. ٢٦ 26
They mounted up to the heavens, then sunk to the depths; their courage melted in their anguish.
تَمَايَلُوا وَتَرَنَّحُوا مِثْلَ السَّكْرَانِ، وَأَعْيَتْهُمُ الْحِيلَةُ. ٢٧ 27
They reeled and staggered like drunkards, and all their skill was useless.
ثُمَّ اسْتَغَاثُوا بِالرَّبِّ فِي ضِيقِهِمْ، فَأَنْقَذَهُمْ مِنْ مَصَائِبِهِمْ. ٢٨ 28
Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and He brought them out of their distress.
هَدَّأَ الْعَاصِفَةَ الشَّدِيدَةَ، وَسَكَّنَ الأَمْوَاجَ. ٢٩ 29
He calmed the storm to a whisper, and the waves of the sea were hushed.
فَفَرِحُوا بِهُدُوئِهَا، ثُمَّ اقْتَادَهُمْ إِلَى الْمَرْفَأ الْمَنْشُودِ. ٣٠ 30
They rejoiced in the silence, and He guided them to the harbor they desired.
فَلْيَرْفَعُوا الشُّكْرَ عَلَى رَحْمَتِهِ، وَعَلَى عَجَائِبِهِ لِبَنِي آدَمَ. ٣١ 31
Let them give thanks to the LORD for His loving devotion and His wonders to the sons of men.
وَلْيُعَظِّمُوهُ فِي مَحْفَلِ الشَّعْبِ، وَلْيُسَبِّحُوهُ فِي اجْتِمَاعِ الشُّيُوخِ. ٣٢ 32
Let them exalt Him in the assembly of the people and praise Him in the council of the elders.
إِنَّهُ يُحَوِّلُ الأَنْهَارَ إِلَى قِفَارٍ، وَيَنَابِيعَ الْمَاءِ إِلَى أَرْضٍ عَطْشَى. ٣٣ 33
He turns rivers into deserts, springs of water into thirsty ground,
يَجْعَلُ الْحُقُولَ الْخَصِيبَةَ أَرْضاً مَلِحَةً جَرْدَاءَ مِنْ جَرَّاءِ شَرِّ سُكَّانِهَا. ٣٤ 34
and fruitful land into fields of salt, because of the wickedness of its dwellers.
يُحَوِّلُ الْبَرِّيَّةَ إِلَى وَاحَةٍ، وَالأَرْضَ الْقَاحِلَةَ يَنَابِيعَ مِيَاهٍ. ٣٥ 35
He turns a desert into pools of water and a dry land into flowing springs.
يُسْكِنُ هُنَاكَ الْجِيَاعَ فَيُنْشِئُونَ مَدِينَةً آهِلَةً. ٣٦ 36
He causes the hungry to settle there, that they may establish a city in which to dwell.
وَيَزْرَعُونَ حُقُولاً وَيَغْرِسُونَ كُرُوماً تُنْتِجُ لَهُمْ غِلَالاً وَفِيرَةً. ٣٧ 37
They sow fields and plant vineyards that yield a fruitful harvest.
وَيُبَارِكُهُمْ أَيْضاً فَيَتَكَاثَرُونَ جِدّاً، وَلَا يَدَعُ مَوَاشِيَهُمْ تَتَنَاقَصُ. ٣٨ 38
He blesses them, and they multiply greatly; He does not let their herds diminish.
عِنْدَمَا يَقِلُّ الشَّعْبُ وَيَذِلُّ بِفِعْلِ الضِّيقِ وَالْبَلايَا وَالأَحْزَانِ، ٣٩ 39
When they are decreased and humbled by oppression, evil, and sorrow,
يَصُبُّ اللهُ الْهَوَانَ عَلَى الرُّؤَسَاءِ، وَيُضِلُّهُمْ فِي أَرْضِ تِيهٍ لَيْسَ فِيهَا طَرِيقٌ. ٤٠ 40
He pours out contempt on the nobles and makes them wander in a trackless wasteland.
لَكِنَّهُ يُنْقِذُ الْمُحْتَاجِينَ مِنَ الْبُؤْسِ، وَيُكَثِّرُ عَشَائِرَهُمْ مِثْلَ قُطْعَانِ الْغَنَمِ. ٤١ 41
But He lifts the needy from affliction and increases their families like flocks.
يَرَى الْمُسْتَقِيمُونَ هَذَا وَيَفْرَحُونَ، أَمَّا الأَثَمَةُ فَيَخْرَسُونَ. ٤٢ 42
The upright see and rejoice, and all iniquity shuts its mouth.
فَلْيَتَأَمَّلْ كُلُّ حَكِيمٍ فِي هَذِهِ الأُمُورِ، وَيُمْعِنِ النَّظَرَ فِي مَرَاحِمِ الرَّبِّ. ٤٣ 43
Let him who is wise pay heed to these things and consider the loving devotion of the LORD.
