المَزامِير 66
| لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ. تَسْبِيحَةٌ. مَزْمُورٌ اهْتِفِي لِلهِ يَا كُلَّ الأَرْضِ. | ١ 1 |
[Tell] everyone on the earth that they should sing joyfully to praise God!
| تَرَنَّمُوا بِعَظَمَةِ اسْمِهِ وَاجْعَلُوا تَسْبِيحَهُ مَجِيداً. | ٢ 2 |
They should sing songs that say that God [MTY] is very great, and they should tell everyone that he is very glorious!
| قُولُوا لِلهِ: «مَا أَرْوَعَ أَعْمَالَكَ». يَتَمَلَّقُكَ أَعْدَاؤُكَ لأَنَّ قُوَّتَكَ عَظِيمَةٌ. | ٣ 3 |
They should say to God, “The things that you do are awesome! You are very powerful, with the result that your enemies (cringe/bow down) in front of you.”
| كُلُّ الأَرْضِ تَسْجُدُ لَكَ وَتُسَبِّحُكَ. الْجَمِيعُ يَلْهَجُونَ بِاسْمِكَ. | ٤ 4 |
Everyone on the earth [should] worship God and sing to praise him and honor him [MTY].
| تَعَالَوْا انْظُرُوا أَعْمَالَ اللهِ وَأَفْعَالَهُ الْمُرْهِبَةَ مَعَ بَنِي آدَمَ. | ٥ 5 |
Come and think about what God has done! Think about the awesome things that he has done.
| حَوَّلَ الْبَحْرَ أَرْضاً يَابِسَةً، وَاجْتَازُوا فِي النَّهْرِ بِأَقْدَامِهِمْ. هُنَاكَ فَرِحْنَا بِهِ. | ٦ 6 |
He caused the [Red] Sea to become dry land, [with the result that our] ancestors were able to walk right through it. There we rejoiced because of what he [had done].
| يَحْكُمُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ بِقُوَّتِهِ، وَعَيْنَاهُ تُرَاقِبَانِ الأُمَمَ، فَلَا يَتَشَامَخُ الْمُتَمَرِّدُونَ. | ٧ 7 |
By his great power he rules forever, and he keeps watching all the nations [to see what things they do], [so] those nations that want to rebel [against him] should not be proud.
| أَيُّهَا الشُّعُوبُ بَارِكُوا إِلَهَنَا. ارْفَعُوا أَصْوَاتَكُمْ بِالتَّسْبِيحِ. | ٨ 8 |
You people [of all nations], praise our God! Praise him loudly in order that people will hear you as you praise him.
| هُوَ الَّذِي اسْتَحْيَانَا، وَلَمْ يَدَعْ أَرْجُلَنَا تَزِلُّ. | ٩ 9 |
He has kept us alive, and he has not allowed us to (stumble/be defeated).
| فَإِنَّكَ قَدِ اخْتَبَرْتَنَا يَا اللهُ، فَنَقَّيْتَنَا كَمَا تُنَقَّى الْفِضَّةُ. | ١٠ 10 |
God, you have tested us; you have allowed us to experience great difficulties [to make our lives become pure] as [people] put precious metals in a hot fire [to burn out what is impure] [MET].
| أَوْقَعْتَنَا فِي الشَّبَكَةِ وَأَلْقَيْتَ حِمْلاً ثَقِيلاً عَلَى ظُهُورِنَا. | ١١ 11 |
[It is as if] you allowed us to fall into traps [MET], and you [forced us to endure difficult things which were like] putting heavy loads on our backs [MET].
| سَلَّطْتَ أُنَاساً عَلَيْنَا. اجْتَزْنَا فِي النَّارِ وَالْمَاءِ، وَلَكِنَّكَ أَخْرَجْتَنَا إِلَى أَرَاضٍ خَصِيبَةٍ. | ١٢ 12 |
You allowed [our] enemies to trample on us; we [experienced difficulties/troubles that were like] [MET] walking through fires and floods, but now you have brought us into a place where we have plenty.
| أَدْخُلُ إِلَى بَيْتِكَ بِمُحْرَقَاتٍ وَأُوْفِيكَ نُذُورِي | ١٣ 13 |
[Yahweh], I will bring to your temple offerings that are to be completely burned [on the altar]; I will offer to you what I promised.
| الَّتِي نَطَقَتْ بِها شَفَتَايَ فِي وَقْتِ ضِيقِي، وَتَكَلَّمَ بِها فَمِي فِي بَلِيَّتِي. | ١٤ 14 |
When I was experiencing [much] trouble, I said that I would bring offerings to you [if you rescued me]; [and you did rescue me, so] I will bring to you what I promised.
| أُقَرِّبُ لَكَ مُحْرَقَاتٍ سَمِينَةً مِنْ كِبَاشٍ مَعَ بَخُورٍ. أُقَدِّمُ بَقَراً مَعَ تُيُوسٍ. | ١٥ 15 |
I will bring sheep to be burned on the altar, and I will [also] sacrifice bulls and goats, and when they are burning, [you will be pleased when] the smoke [rises up] ([to you/to the sky]).
| تَعَالَوْا اسْمَعُوا يَا جَمِيعَ خَائِفِي اللهِ، فَأُحَدِّثَكُمْ بِمَا فَعَلَ لِنَفْسِي. | ١٦ 16 |
All you [people] who revere God, come and listen, and I will tell you what he has done for me.
| صَرَخْتُ إِلَيْهِ بِفَمِي وَعَظَّمْتُهُ بِلِسَانِي. | ١٧ 17 |
I called out to him to help me, and I praised him while I was speaking to him [MTY].
| إِنْ تَعَهَّدْتُ إِثْماً فِي قَلْبِي لَا يَسْتَمِعُ لِيَ الرَّبُّ. | ١٨ 18 |
If I had ignored the sins that I had committed, the Lord would not have paid any attention to me.
| وَلَكِنَّ اللهَ قَدِ اسْتَجَابَ لِي. أَصْغَى إِلَى صَوْتِ صَلاتِي. | ١٩ 19 |
But because [I confessed my sins], God has listened to me and he paid attention to my prayers.
| تَبَارَكَ اللهُ الَّذِي لَمْ يُقْصِ عَنْهُ صَلاتِي، وَلَا حَجَبَ عَنِّي رَحْمَتَهُ. | ٢٠ 20 |
I praise God because he has not ignored my prayers or stopped faithfully loving me.
