ارْفَعُوا الشُّكْرَ لِلرَّبِّ لأَنَّهُ صَالِحٌ، وَرَحْمَتَهُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ تَدُومُ. ١ 1
O give thanks to the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endures for ever.
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 them 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 solitary way; they found no city to dwell 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
And he led them forth by the right 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 the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
لأَنَّهُ أَشْبَعَ النَّفْسَ الْمُتَلَهِّفَةَ وَمَلأَ النَّفْسَ الْجَائِعَةَ خَيْراً. ٩ 9
For he satisfies the longing soul, and fills the hungry soul with goodness.
كَانُوا جَالِسِينَ كَالأَسْرَى فِي الظَّلامِ وَظِلالِ الْمَوْتِ، مُوْثَقِينَ بِالذُّلِّ وَالْحَدِيدِ، ١٠ 10
Such as sit 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 scorned 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 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 their bands in sunder.
فَلْيَرْفَعُوا الشُّكْرَ لِلرَّبِّ عَلَى رَحْمَتِهِ، وَعَلَى عَجَائِبِهِ لِبَنِي آدَمَ. ١٥ 15
Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
لأَنَّهُ كَسَّرَ أَبْوَابَ النُّحَاسِ، وَقَطَّعَ عَوَارِضَ الْحَدِيدِ. ١٦ 16
For he has 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 abhors all manner of meat; and 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 sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.
فَلْيَرْفَعُوا الشُّكْرَ لِلرَّبِّ عَلَى رَحْمَتِهِ، وَعَلَى عَجَائِبِهِ لِبَنِي آدَمَ. ٢١ 21
Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
وَلْيُقَرِّبُوا لَهُ ذَبَائِحَ الشُّكْرِ، وَيُحَدِّثُوا بِأَعْمَالِهِ بِتَرَانِيمِ الْفَرَحِ. ٢٢ 22
And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing.
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 the LORD, 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 the waves thereof.
فَارْتَفَعَتِ السُّفُنُ إِلَى الأَعَالِي، ثُمَّ هَبَطَتْ إِلَى الأَعْمَاقِ، حَتَّى ذَابَتْ نُفُوسُهُمْ مِنَ الْفَزَعِ. ٢٦ 26
They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted 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 wit’s 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 distresses.
هَدَّأَ الْعَاصِفَةَ الشَّدِيدَةَ، وَسَكَّنَ الأَمْوَاجَ. ٢٩ 29
He makes 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 be quiet; so he brings them to their desired haven.
فَلْيَرْفَعُوا الشُّكْرَ عَلَى رَحْمَتِهِ، وَعَلَى عَجَائِبِهِ لِبَنِي آدَمَ. ٣١ 31
Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, 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 congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.
إِنَّهُ يُحَوِّلُ الأَنْهَارَ إِلَى قِفَارٍ، وَيَنَابِيعَ الْمَاءِ إِلَى أَرْضٍ عَطْشَى. ٣٣ 33
He turns rivers into a wilderness, and the springs into dry ground;
يَجْعَلُ الْحُقُولَ الْخَصِيبَةَ أَرْضاً مَلِحَةً جَرْدَاءَ مِنْ جَرَّاءِ شَرِّ سُكَّانِهَا. ٣٤ 34
A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.
يُحَوِّلُ الْبَرِّيَّةَ إِلَى وَاحَةٍ، وَالأَرْضَ الْقَاحِلَةَ يَنَابِيعَ مِيَاهٍ. ٣٥ 35
He turns the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into springs.
يُسْكِنُ هُنَاكَ الْجِيَاعَ فَيُنْشِئُونَ مَدِينَةً آهِلَةً. ٣٦ 36
And there he makes the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation;
وَيَزْرَعُونَ حُقُولاً وَيَغْرِسُونَ كُرُوماً تُنْتِجُ لَهُمْ غِلَالاً وَفِيرَةً. ٣٧ 37
And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase.
وَيُبَارِكُهُمْ أَيْضاً فَيَتَكَاثَرُونَ جِدّاً، وَلَا يَدَعُ مَوَاشِيَهُمْ تَتَنَاقَصُ. ٣٨ 38
He blesses them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffers not their cattle to decrease.
عِنْدَمَا يَقِلُّ الشَّعْبُ وَيَذِلُّ بِفِعْلِ الضِّيقِ وَالْبَلايَا وَالأَحْزَانِ، ٣٩ 39
Again, they are diminished and brought low through oppression, affliction, 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 the wilderness, where there is no way.
لَكِنَّهُ يُنْقِذُ الْمُحْتَاجِينَ مِنَ الْبُؤْسِ، وَيُكَثِّرُ عَشَائِرَهُمْ مِثْلَ قُطْعَانِ الْغَنَمِ. ٤١ 41
Yet sets he the poor on high from affliction, and makes him families like a flock.
يَرَى الْمُسْتَقِيمُونَ هَذَا وَيَفْرَحُونَ، أَمَّا الأَثَمَةُ فَيَخْرَسُونَ. ٤٢ 42
The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.
فَلْيَتَأَمَّلْ كُلُّ حَكِيمٍ فِي هَذِهِ الأُمُورِ، وَيُمْعِنِ النَّظَرَ فِي مَرَاحِمِ الرَّبِّ. ٤٣ 43
Whoever is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the loving kindness of the LORD.
