| هَلِّلُويَا. سَبِّحُوا اسْمَ الرَّبِّ. سَبِّحُوهُ يَا عَبِيدَ الرَّبِّ، | ١ 1 |
Praise Yahweh! You who (do work for/serve) Yahweh, praise him!
| الْقَائِمِينَ عَلَى الْخِدْمَةِ فِي بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ، فِي دِيَارِ بَيْتِ إِلَهِنَا. | ٢ 2 |
You who stand in the temple of Yahweh our God and in the surrounding courtyard, praise him [MTY]!
| سَبِّحُوا الرَّبَّ فَإِنَّهُ صَالِحٌ. اشْدُوا لاسْمِهِ، فَإِنَّ ذَاكَ حُلْوٌ. | ٣ 3 |
Praise Yahweh, because he does good things [for us]; sing to him [MTY], because he is kind [to us].
| لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدِ اخْتَارَ يَعْقُوبَ لِنَفْسِهِ، وَاتَّخَذَ إِسْرَائِيلَ شَعْباً خَاصّاً لَهُ. | ٤ 4 |
He has chosen [us, the descendants of] Jacob; he has chosen [us] Israelis to belong to him [DOU].
| قَدْ عَرَفْتُ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ عَظِيمٌ، وَأَنَّ سَيِّدَنَا أَسْمَى مِنْ جَمِيعِ الآلِهَةِ. | ٥ 5 |
I know that Yahweh is great; he is greater than all the gods.
| كُلَّ مَا شَاءَ صَنَعَ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ، وَفِي الأَرْضِ وَالْبِحَارِ، وَفِي كُلِّ الأَغْوَارِ الْعَمِيقَةِ. | ٦ 6 |
Yahweh does whatever he desires to do, in heaven and on the earth and in the seas/oceans, [down] to the bottom of the seas.
| يُصْعِدُ الأَبْخِرَةَ مِنْ أَقَاصِي الأَرْضِ، وَيُحْدِثُ بُرُوقاً لِلْمَطَرِ، وَيُطْلِقُ الرِّيحَ مِنْ خَزَائِنِهِ. | ٧ 7 |
He is the one who causes clouds to appear from very distant places on the earth; he sends lightning with the rain, and he brings the winds from the places where he stores them.
| هُوَ الَّذِي ضَرَبَ أَبْكَارَ مِصْرَ، أَبْكَارَ النَّاسِ وَالْبَهَائِمِ. | ٨ 8 |
He is the one who killed [all] the firstborn [males] in Egypt, the firstborn of people and of animals.
| وَهُوَ الَّذِي أَجْرَى آيَاتٍ وَمُعْجِزَاتٍ فِي وَسَطِكِ يَا مِصْرُ، وَعَلَى فِرْعَوْنَ وَجَمِيعِ عَبِيدِهِ. | ٩ 9 |
There he performed many kinds of miracles [DOU] to punish the king and all his officials.
| ضَرَبَ أُمَماً عَظِيمَةً، وَقَتَلَ مُلُوكاً مُقْتَدِرِينَ: | ١٠ 10 |
He destroyed many nations and the powerful kings [who ruled them]:
| سِيحُونَ مَلِكَ الأَمُورِيِّينَ، وَعُوجَ مَلِكَ بَاشَانَ، وَجَمِيعَ مَمَالِكِ كَنْعَانَ. | ١١ 11 |
Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group, and Og, the king of Bashan [region], and all the other kings in Canaan [land].
| وَوَهَبَ أَرْضَهُمْ مِيرَاثاً لإِسْرَائِيلَ شَعْبِهِ. | ١٢ 12 |
Then he gave their land to [us] Israeli people to belong to us [forever].
| اسْمُكَ خَالِدٌ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. ذِكْرُكَ يَا رَبُّ مِنْ جِيلٍ إِلَى جِيلٍ. | ١٣ 13 |
Yahweh your name will endure forever, and people who are not yet born will remember the great things [that you have done].
| لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ يُحَاكِمُ شَعْبَهُ بِعَدْلٍ وَيَعْطِفُ عَلَى عَبِيدِهِ. | ١٤ 14 |
Yahweh, [you] declare that we your people (are innocent/have not done things that are wrong), and you are merciful to us.
| أَمَّا أَصْنَامُ الأُمَمِ فَهِيَ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ وَذَهَبٍ، صَنْعَةُ أَيْدِي النَّاسِ. | ١٥ 15 |
But the idols that the [other] people-groups [worship] are only [statues made of] silver and gold, things that humans have made.
| لَهَا أَفْوَاهٌ لَكِنَّهَا لَا تَتَكَلَّمُ، وَعُيُونٌ لَكِنَّهَا لَا تَرَى. | ١٦ 16 |
Their idols have mouths, but they cannot say [anything]; they have eyes, but they cannot see [anything].
| وَآذَانٌ لَكِنَّهَا لَا تَسْمَعُ. وَلَيْسَ فِي أَفْوَاهِهَا نَسَمَةُ حَيَاةٍ. | ١٧ 17 |
They have ears, but they cannot hear [anything], and they are not [even able to] breathe.
| مِثْلَهَا يَصِيرُ صَانِعُوهَا وَكُلُّ مَنْ يَتَوَكَّلُ عَلَيْهَا. | ١٨ 18 |
The people who make those idols are as [powerless as] those idols, and those who trust in those idols [can accomplish no more than] their idols can!
| يَا بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ بَارِكُوا الرَّبَّ. يَا بَيْتَ هَارُونَ بَارِكُوا الرَّبَّ. | ١٩ 19 |
[My fellow] Israelis, praise Yahweh! You [priests] who are descended from Aaron, praise Yahweh!
| يَا بَيْتَ لاوِي بَارِكُوا الرَّبَّ. يَا خَائِفِي الرَّبِّ بَارِكُوا الرَّبَّ. | ٢٠ 20 |
You [men] who are descended from Levi, [you who assist the priests], praise Yahweh! [All] you who revere Yahweh, praise him!
| مُبَارَكٌ الرَّبُّ مِنْ صِهْيَوْنَ، الرَّبُّ السَّاكِنُ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ. هَلِّلُويَا. | ٢١ 21 |
Praise Yahweh in [the temple on] Zion [Hill] in Jerusalem, where he lives! Praise Yahweh!
