ارْفَعُوا الشُّكْرَ لِلرَّبِّ لأَنَّهُ صَالِحٌ، وَرَحْمَتَهُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ تَدُومُ. ١ 1
BOOK V 'O give thanks unto the LORD, for He is good, for His mercy endureth for ever.'
لِيَقُلْ هَذَا مَفْدِيُّو الرَّبِّ، الَّذِينَ افْتَدَاهُمْ مِنْ يَدِ ظَالِمِهِمْ. ٢ 2
So let the redeemed of the LORD say, whom He hath redeemed from the hand of the adversary;
لَمَّ شَتَاتَهُمْ مِنَ الْبُلْدَانِ: مِنَ الشَّرْقِ وَالْغَرْبِ، مِنَ الشِّمَالِ وَالْجَنُوبِ. ٣ 3
And gathered them out of the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the sea.
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 the LORD in their trouble, and He delivered them out of their distresses.
وَهَدَاهُمْ طَرِيقاً مُسْتَقِيماً لِيَتَوَجَّهُوا إِلَى مَدِينَةٍ لِلسَّكَنِ. ٧ 7
And He led them by a straight way, that they might go to a city of habitation.
فَلْيَرْفَعُوا الشُّكْرَ لِلرَّبِّ عَلَى رَحْمَتِهِ وَعَلَى عَجَائِبِهِ لِبَنِي آدَمَ. ٨ 8
Let them give thanks unto the LORD for His mercy, and for His wonderful works to the children of men!
لأَنَّهُ أَشْبَعَ النَّفْسَ الْمُتَلَهِّفَةَ وَمَلأَ النَّفْسَ الْجَائِعَةَ خَيْراً. ٩ 9
For He hath satisfied the longing soul, and the hungry soul He hath filled 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 humbled their heart with travail, they stumbled, and there was none to help —
ثُمَّ اسْتَغَاثُوا بِالرَّبِّ فِي ضِيقِهِمْ فَأَنْقَذَهُمْ مِنْ مَصَائِبِهِمْ. ١٣ 13
They cried unto 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 their bands in sunder.
فَلْيَرْفَعُوا الشُّكْرَ لِلرَّبِّ عَلَى رَحْمَتِهِ، وَعَلَى عَجَائِبِهِ لِبَنِي آدَمَ. ١٥ 15
Let them give thanks unto the LORD for His mercy, 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
Crazed because of the way of their transgression, and afflicted because of their iniquities —
عَافَتْ أَنْفُسُهُمْ كُلَّ طَعَامٍ، فَصَارُوا عَلَى شَفَا الْمَوْتِ. ١٨ 18
Their soul abhorred all manner of food, and they drew near unto the gates of death —
ثُمَّ اسْتَغَاثُوا بِالرَّبِّ فِي ضِيقِهِمْ، فَأَنْقَذَهُمْ مِنْ مَصَائِبِهِمْ. ١٩ 19
They cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and He saved them out of their distresses;
أَصْدَرَ أَمْرَهُ فَشَفَاهُمْ، وَخَلَّصَهُمْ مِنْ مَهَالِكِهِمْ. ٢٠ 20
He sent His word, and healed them, and delivered them from their graves.
فَلْيَرْفَعُوا الشُّكْرَ لِلرَّبِّ عَلَى رَحْمَتِهِ، وَعَلَى عَجَائِبِهِ لِبَنِي آدَمَ. ٢١ 21
Let them give thanks unto the LORD for His mercy, 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 saw the works of the LORD, and His wonders in the deep;
فَإِنَّهُ بِأَمْرِهِ أَثَارَ رِيحاً عَاصِفَةً فَأَهَاجَتْ أَمْوَاجَ الْبَحْرِ ٢٥ 25
For He commanded, and raised the stormy wind, which lifted up the waves thereof;
فَارْتَفَعَتِ السُّفُنُ إِلَى الأَعَالِي، ثُمَّ هَبَطَتْ إِلَى الأَعْمَاقِ، حَتَّى ذَابَتْ نُفُوسُهُمْ مِنَ الْفَزَعِ. ٢٦ 26
They mounted up to the heaven, they went down to the deeps; their soul melted away because of trouble;
تَمَايَلُوا وَتَرَنَّحُوا مِثْلَ السَّكْرَانِ، وَأَعْيَتْهُمُ الْحِيلَةُ. ٢٧ 27
They reeled to and fro, and staggered like a drunken man, and all their wisdom was swallowed up —
ثُمَّ اسْتَغَاثُوا بِالرَّبِّ فِي ضِيقِهِمْ، فَأَنْقَذَهُمْ مِنْ مَصَائِبِهِمْ. ٢٨ 28
They cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and He brought them out of their distresses.
هَدَّأَ الْعَاصِفَةَ الشَّدِيدَةَ، وَسَكَّنَ الأَمْوَاجَ. ٢٩ 29
He made the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof were still.
فَفَرِحُوا بِهُدُوئِهَا، ثُمَّ اقْتَادَهُمْ إِلَى الْمَرْفَأ الْمَنْشُودِ. ٣٠ 30
Then were they glad because they were quiet, and He led them unto their desired haven.
فَلْيَرْفَعُوا الشُّكْرَ عَلَى رَحْمَتِهِ، وَعَلَى عَجَائِبِهِ لِبَنِي آدَمَ. ٣١ 31
Let them give thanks unto the LORD for His mercy, 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 waste, 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, and they establish a city of habitation;
وَيَزْرَعُونَ حُقُولاً وَيَغْرِسُونَ كُرُوماً تُنْتِجُ لَهُمْ غِلَالاً وَفِيرَةً. ٣٧ 37
And sow fields, and plant vineyards, which yield fruits of increase.
وَيُبَارِكُهُمْ أَيْضاً فَيَتَكَاثَرُونَ جِدّاً، وَلَا يَدَعُ مَوَاشِيَهُمْ تَتَنَاقَصُ. ٣٨ 38
He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly, and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.
عِنْدَمَا يَقِلُّ الشَّعْبُ وَيَذِلُّ بِفِعْلِ الضِّيقِ وَالْبَلايَا وَالأَحْزَانِ، ٣٩ 39
Again, they are minished and dwindle away through oppression of evil 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 his families like a flock.
يَرَى الْمُسْتَقِيمُونَ هَذَا وَيَفْرَحُونَ، أَمَّا الأَثَمَةُ فَيَخْرَسُونَ. ٤٢ 42
The upright see it, and are glad; and all iniquity stoppeth her mouth.
فَلْيَتَأَمَّلْ كُلُّ حَكِيمٍ فِي هَذِهِ الأُمُورِ، وَيُمْعِنِ النَّظَرَ فِي مَرَاحِمِ الرَّبِّ. ٤٣ 43
Whoso is wise, let him observe these things, and let them consider the mercies of the LORD.
