المَزامِير 115

١ 1 لَا تُمَجِّدْنَا يَا رَبُّ، بَلْ مَجِّدِ اسْمَكَ، مِنْ أَجْلِ رَحْمَتِكَ وَحَقِّكَ.

Not to us, Yahweh, not to us, but to your name give glory, for your loving kindness, and for your truth’s sake.

٢ 2 لِمَاذَا تَسْأَلُنَا الأُمَمُ: أَيْنَ هُوَ إِلَهُكُمْ؟

Why should the nations say, “Where is their God, now?”

٣ 3 إِنَّ إِلَهَنَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ. كُلَّ مَا شَاءَ صَنَعَ.

But our God is in the heavens. He does whatever he pleases.

٤ 4 أَمَّا أَوْثَانُهُمْ فَهِيَ فِضَّةٌ وَذَهَبٌ مِنْ صُنْعِ أَيْدِي الْبَشَرِ.

Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.

٥ 5 لَهَا أَفْوَاهٌ لَكِنَّهَا لَا تَنْطِقُ. لَهَا عُيُونٌ وَلَكِنَّهَا لَا تُبْصِرُ.

They have mouths, but they don’t speak. They have eyes, but they don’t see.

٦ 6 وَآذَانٌ لَكِنَّهَا لَا تَسْمَعُ. وَأُنُوفٌ لَكِنَّهَا لَا تَشُمُّ.

They have ears, but they don’t hear. They have noses, but they don’t smell.

٧ 7 لَهَا أَيْدٍ لَكِنَّهَا لَا تَلْمَسُ. وَأَرْجُلٌ لَكِنَّهَا لَا تَمْشِي، وَلَا تُصْدِرُ مِنْ حَنَاجِرِهَا صَوْتاً.

They have hands, but they don’t feel. They have feet, but they don’t walk, neither do they speak through their throat.

٨ 8 مِثْلَهَا يَصِيرُ صَانِعُوهَا وَكُلُّ مَنْ يَتَوَكَّلُ عَلَيْهَا.

Those who make them will be like them; yes, everyone who trusts in them.

٩ 9 اتَّكِلُوا عَلَى الرَّبِّ يَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، هُوَ عَوْنُكُمْ وَتُرْسُكُمْ.

Israel, trust in Yahweh! He is their help and their shield.

١٠ 10 اتَّكِلُوا عَلَى الرَّبِّ يَا بَيْتَ هَارُونَ: هُوَ عَوْنُكُمْ وَتُرْسُكُمْ.

House of Aaron, trust in Yahweh! He is their help and their shield.

١١ 11 اتَّكِلُوا عَلَى الرَّبِّ يَا خَائِفِي الرَّبِّ: هُوَ عَوْنُكُمْ وَتُرْسُكُمْ.

You who fear Yahweh, trust in Yahweh! He is their help and their shield.

١٢ 12 الرَّبُّ ذَكَرَنَا وَيُبَارِكُنَا. يُبَارِكُ شَعْبَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، يُبَارِكُ الرَّبُّ آلَ هَارُونَ.

Yahweh remembers us. He will bless us. He will bless the house of Israel. He will bless the house of Aaron.

١٣ 13 يُبَارِكُ كُلَّ مَنْ يَتَّقِيهِ، صِغَارَهُمْ وَكِبَارَهُمْ.

He will bless those who fear Yahweh, both small and great.

١٤ 14 لِيَزِدِ الرَّبُّ بَرَكَتَهُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَعَلَى أَوْلادِكُمْ.

May Yahweh increase you more and more, you and your children.

١٥ 15 لِيُبَارِكْكُمُ الرَّبُّ، خَالِقُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ.

Blessed are you by Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.

١٦ 16 السَّمَاوَاتُ لِلرَّبِّ وَحْدَهُ، أَمَّا الأَرْضُ فَوَهَبَهَا لِبَنِي آدَمَ.

The heavens are Yahweh’s heavens, but he has given the earth to the children of men.

١٧ 17 لَا يُسَبِّحُ الأَمْوَاتُ الرَّبَّ، وَلَا الهَاجِعُونَ فِي الْقُبُورِ.

The dead don’t praise Yah, nor any who go down into silence,

١٨ 18 أَمَّا نَحْنُ فَنُبَارِكُ الرَّبَّ مِنَ الآنَ وَإِلَى الدَّهْرِ. هَلِّلُويَا.

but we will bless Yah, from this time forward and forever more. Praise Yah!
