المَزامِير 78
| مَزْمُورٌ تَعْلِيمِيٌّ لآسَافَ أَصْغِ يَا شَعْبِي إِلَى شَرِيعَتِي، أَرْهِفُوا آذَانَكُمْ إِلَى أَقْوَالِ فَمِي. | ١ 1 |
A Psalme to give instruction committed to Asaph. Heare my doctrine, O my people: incline your eares vnto the wordes of my mouth.
| أَفْتَحُ فَمِي بِمَثَلٍ وَأَنْطِقُ بِأَلْغَازٍ قَدِيمَةٍ جِدّاً، | ٢ 2 |
I will open my mouth in a parable: I will declare high sentences of olde.
| سَمِعْنَاهَا وَعَرَفْنَاهَا وَحَدَّثَنَا بِها آبَاؤُنَا. | ٣ 3 |
Which we haue heard and knowen, and our fathers haue tolde vs.
| لَا نَكْتُمُهَا عَنْ أَبْنَائِنَا بَلْ نُخْبِرُ الْجِيلَ الْقَادِمَ عَنْ قُوَّةِ الرَّبِّ وَعَجَائِبِهِ الَّتِي صَنَعَ. | ٤ 4 |
Wee will not hide them from their children but to the generation to come we wil shewe the praises of the Lord his power also, and his wonderful woorkes that he hath done:
| أَعْطَى شَرَائِعَ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَأَوَامِرَ لِذُرِّيَّةِ يَعْقُوبَ، أَوْصَى فِيهَا آبَاءَنَا أَنْ يُعَرِّفُوا بِها أَبْنَاءَهُمْ. | ٥ 5 |
How he established a testimonie in Iaakob, and ordeined a Law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they shoulde teache their children:
| لِكَيْ يَعْرِفَهَا الْجِيلُ الْقَادِمُ، الْبَنُونَ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يُوْلَدُوا بَعْدُ، فَيُعَلِّمُوهَا أَيْضاً لأَبْنَائِهِمْ، | ٦ 6 |
That the posteritie might knowe it, and the children, which should be borne, should stand vp, and declare it to their children:
| فَيَضَعُوا عَلَى اللهِ اتِّكَالَهُمْ وَلَا يَنْسَوْا أَعْمَالَهُ، بَلْ يَحْفَظُوا وَصَايَاهُ، | ٧ 7 |
That they might set their hope on God, and not forget the workes of God but keepe his commandements:
| وَلَا يَكُونُوا مِثْلَ آبَائِهِمْ، جِيلاً عَنِيداً مُتَمَرِّداً، جِيلاً لَمْ يُثَبِّتْ قَلْبَهُ وَلَا كَانَتْ رُوحُهُ أَمِينَةً لِلهِ. | ٨ 8 |
And not to bee as their fathers, a disobedient and rebellious generation: a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirite was not faithfull vnto God.
| رُمَاةُ الْقَوْسِ، بَنُو أَفْرَايِمَ تَقَهْقَرُوا فِي يَوْمِ الْمَعْرَكَةِ. | ٩ 9 |
The children of Ephraim being armed and shooting with the bowe, turned backe in the day of battell.
| لأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يُرَاعُوا عَهْدَ اللهِ، وَرَفَضُوا السُّلُوكَ فِي شَرِيعَتِهِ. | ١٠ 10 |
They kept not the couenant of God, but refused to walke in his Lawe,
| نَسُوا أَفْعَالَهُ وَعَجَائِبَهُ الَّتِي أَظْهَرَهَا لَهُمُ، | ١١ 11 |
And forgate his Actes, and his wonderfull woorkes that he had shewed them.
| الْعَجَائِبَ الَّتِي رَآهَا آبَاؤُهُمْ فِي سَهْلِ صُوعَنَ فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ. | ١٢ 12 |
Hee did marueilous thinges in the sight of their fathers in the lande of Egypt: euen in the fielde of Zoan.
| شَقَّ الْبَحْرَ وَأَجَازَهُمْ، وَجَعَلَ الْمِيَاهَ تَقِفُ كَجِدَارٍ. | ١٣ 13 |
He deuided the Sea, and led them through: he made also the waters to stand as an heape.
| أَرْشَدَهُمْ بِالسَّحَابِ نَهَاراً وَبِنُورِ نَارٍ اللَّيْلَ كُلَّهُ. | ١٤ 14 |
In the day time also hee led them with a cloude, and all the night with a light of fire.
| شَقَّ صُخُوراً فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ وَسَقَاهُمْ مَاءً غَزِيراً كَأَنَّهُ مِنَ اللُّجَجِ. | ١٥ 15 |
He claue the rockes in the wildernes, and gaue them drinke as of the great depths.
| أَخْرَجَ مِنَ الصَّخْرَةِ سَوَاقِيَ، أَجْرَى مِيَاهَهَا كَأَنْهَارٍ. | ١٦ 16 |
He brought floods also out of the stonie rocke; so that hee made the waters to descend like the riuers.
| لَكِنَّهُمْ أَوْغَلُوا فِي غَيِّهِمْ مُسْتَثِيرِينَ غَضَبَ الْعَلِيِّ فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ. | ١٧ 17 |
Yet they sinned stil against him, and prouoked the Highest in the wildernesse,
| وَجَرَّبُوا اللهَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ، طَالِبِينَ طَعَاماً اشْتَهَتْهُ نُفُوسُهُمْ | ١٨ 18 |
And tempted God in their heartes in requiring meate for their lust.
| وَتَذَمَّرُوا عَلَى اللهِ قَائِلِينَ: أَيَقْدِرُ اللهُ أَنْ يَبْسُطَ لَنَا مَائِدَةً فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ؟ | ١٩ 19 |
They spake against God also, saying, Can God prepare a table in the wildernesse?
| هَا هُوَ قَدْ ضَرَبَ الصَّخْرَةَ فَتَفَجَّرَتْ مِنْهَا الْمِيَاهُ وَفَاضَتِ الأَنْهَارُ، فَهَلْ يَقْدِرُ أَيْضاً أَنْ يُقَدِّمَ الْخُبْزَ أَوْ يُوَفِّرَ اللَّحْمَ لِشَعْبِهِ؟ | ٢٠ 20 |
Behold, he smote the rocke, that the water gushed out, and the streames ouerflowed: can hee giue bread also? or prepare flesh for his people?
| فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ اللهُ ذَلِكَ ثَارَ غَضَبُهُ، وَانْدَلَعَتِ النَّارُ فِي يَعْقُوبَ، وَاشْتَدَّ السَّخَطُ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ، | ٢١ 21 |
Therefore the Lord heard and was angrie, and the fire was kindled in Iaakob, and also wrath came vpon Israel,
| لأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يُؤْمِنُوا بِاللهِ وَلَمْ يَتَّكِلُوا عَلَى خَلاصِهِ. | ٢٢ 22 |
Because they beleeued not in God, and trusted not in his helpe.
| وَمَعَ ذَلِكَ أَمَرَ السَّحَابَ وَفَتَحَ أَبْوَابَ السَّمَاوَاتِ، | ٢٣ 23 |
Yet he had comanded the clouds aboue, and had opened the doores of heauen,
| فَأَمْطَرَ عَلَيْهِمِ الْمَنَّ لِيَأْكُلُوا، وَأَنْزَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ حِنْطَةَ السَّمَاوَاتِ. | ٢٤ 24 |
And had rained downe MAN vpon them for to eate, and had giuen them of the wheate of heauen.
| فَأَكَلَ الإِنْسَانُ خُبْزَ الْمَلائِكَةِ، إِذْ أَرْسَلَ لَهُمْ زَاداً حَتَّى شَبِعُوا. | ٢٥ 25 |
Man did eate the bread of Angels: hee sent them meate ynough.
| أَثَارَ رِيحاً شَرْقِيَّةً فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ، وَبِقُوَّتِهِ سَاقَ رِيحاً جَنُوبِيَّةً. | ٢٦ 26 |
He caused the Eastwinde to passe in the heauen, and through his power he brought in the Southwinde.
| فَأَمْطَرَ عَلَيْهِمْ لَحْماً كَثِيراً كَالتُّرَابِ، وَطُيُوراً كَرَمْلِ الْبَحْرِ، | ٢٧ 27 |
Hee rained flesh also vpon them as dust, and feathered foule as the sand of the sea.
| جَعَلَهَا تَتَسَاقَطُ فِي وَسَطِ خِيَامِهِمْ حَوْلَ مَسَاكِنِهِمْ. | ٢٨ 28 |
And hee made it fall in the middes of their campe euen round about their habitations.
| فَأَكَلُوا حَتَّى شَبِعُوا جِدّاً، وَأَعْطَاهُمْ مُشْتَهَاهُمْ. | ٢٩ 29 |
So they did eate and were well filled: for he gaue them their desire.
| وَقَبْلَ أَنْ يَفْرُغُوا مِنَ الطَّعَامِ الَّذِي اشْتَهَوْهُ، وَهُوَ بَعْدُ فِي أَفْوَاهِهِمْ، | ٣٠ 30 |
They were not turned from their lust, but the meate was yet in their mouthes,
| ثَارَ عَلَيْهِمْ غَضَبُ اللهِ، فَقَتَلَ أَسْمَنَهُمْ وَصَرَعَ نُخْبَتَهُمْ. | ٣١ 31 |
When the wrath of God came euen vpon them, and slew the strongest of them, and smote downe the chosen men in Israel.
| وَمَعَ هَذَا ظَلُّوا يُخْطِئُونَ، وَبِالرَّغْمِ مِن عَجَائِبِهِ لَمْ يُؤْمِنُوا، | ٣٢ 32 |
For all this, they sinned stil, and beleeued not his wonderous woorkes.
| فَأَفْنَى أَيَّامَهُمْ بِالْبَاطِلِ وَسِنِيهِمْ فِي الرُّعْبِ. | ٣٣ 33 |
Therefore their daies did hee consume in vanitie, and their yeeres hastily.
| وَعِنْدَمَا قَتَلَ بَعْضَهُمْ، رَجَعُوا بِحَرَارَةٍ تَائِبِينَ يَلْتَمِسُونَ اللهَ. | ٣٤ 34 |
And when hee slewe them, they sought him and they returned, and sought God earely.
| تَذَكَّرُوا أَنَّ اللهَ صَخْرَتُهُمْ وَالإِلَهَ الْعَلِيَّ فَادِيهِمْ. | ٣٥ 35 |
And they remembred that God was their strength, and the most high God their redeemer.
| وَلَكِنَّهُمْ خَادَعُوهُ بِأَفْوَاهِهِمْ، وَنَافَقُوهُ بِأَلْسِنَتِهِمْ. | ٣٦ 36 |
But they flattered him with their mouth, and dissembled with him with their tongue.
| لَمْ يَكُونُوا مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ، وَلَا كَانُوا أَوْفِيَاءَ لِعَهْدِهِ. | ٣٧ 37 |
For their heart was not vpright with him: neither were they faithfull in his couenant.
| لَكِنَّهُ كَانَ رَحِيماً، فَعَفَا عَنِ الإِثْمِ وَلَمْ يُهْلِكْهُمْ. وَكَثِيراً مَا كَبَحَ غَضَبَهُ عَنْهُمْ وَلَمْ يُضْرِمْ كُلَّ سَخَطِهِ. | ٣٨ 38 |
Yet he being merciful forgaue their iniquitie, and destroied them not, but oft times called backe his anger, and did not stirre vp all his wrath.
| ذَكَرَ أَنَّهُمْ بَشَرٌ كَالرِّيحِ الَّتِي تَذْهَبُ وَلَا تَعُودُ. | ٣٩ 39 |
For he remembered that they were flesh: yea, a winde that passeth and commeth not againe.
| كَمْ تَمَرَّدُوا عَلَيْهِ فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ وَأَحْزَنُوهُ فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ. | ٤٠ 40 |
How oft did they prouoke him in the wildernes? and grieue him in the desert?
| ثُمَّ عَادُوا يُجَرِّبُونَ اللهَ وَيُغِيظُونَ قُدُّوسَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٤١ 41 |
Yea, they returned, and tempted God, and limited the Holie one of Israel.
| لَمْ يَذْكُرُوا قُوَّتَهُ يَوْمَ أَنْقَذَهُمْ مِنْ طَالِبِيهِمْ، | ٤٢ 42 |
They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he deliuered them from the enemie,
| كَيْفَ أَجْرَى آيَاتِهِ فِي مِصْرَ وَعَجَائِبَهُ فِي سُهُولِ صُوعَنَ. | ٤٣ 43 |
Nor him that set his signes in Egypt, and his wonders in the fielde of Zoan,
| إِذْ حَوَّلَ أَنْهَارَهُمْ وَسَوَاقِيَهُمْ دَماً حَتَّى لَا يَشْرَبُوا. | ٤٤ 44 |
And turned their riuers into blood, and their floods, that they could not drinke.
| أَرْسَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ بَعُوضاً فَأَكَلَهُمْ، وَضَفَادِعَ فَأَهْلَكَتْهُمْ. | ٤٥ 45 |
Hee sent a swarme of flies among them, which deuoured them, and frogs, which destroyed them.
| أَسْلَمَ غَلَّتَهُمْ لِلْجَنَادِبِ وَمَحَاصِيلَهُمْ لِلْجَرَادِ لِيُدَمِّرَهَا. | ٤٦ 46 |
He gaue also their fruites vnto the caterpiller, and their labour vnto the grassehopper.
| أَتْلَفَ كُرُومَهُمْ بِالْبَرَدِ وَجُمَّيْزَهُمْ بِالصَّقِيعِ، | ٤٧ 47 |
He destroied their vines with haile, and their wilde figge trees with the hailestone.
| وَدَفَعَ بَهَائِمَهُمْ إِلَى الْبَرَدِ، وَمَوَاشِيَهُمْ إِلَى نَارِ الْبُرُوقِ. | ٤٨ 48 |
He gaue their cattell also to the haile, and their flockes to the thunderboltes.
| أَرْسَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ حِمَمَ غَضَبِهِ، وَسَخَطِهِ وَغَيْظِهِ، وَأَطْلَقَ عَلَيْهِمْ حَمْلَةً مِنْ مَلائِكَةِ الْهَلاكِ. | ٤٩ 49 |
Hee cast vpon them the fiercenesse of his anger, indignation and wrath, and vexation by the sending out of euill Angels.
| أَفْلَتَ عِنَانَ غَضَبِهِ، وَلَمْ يَحْفَظْهُمْ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ، بَلْ أَهْلَكَهُمْ بِالْوَبَإِ، | ٥٠ 50 |
He made a way to his anger: he spared not their soule from death, but gaue their life to the pestilence,
| وَأَبَادَ كُلَّ أَبْكَارِ مِصْرَ، طَلائِعَ ثِمَارِ الرُّجُولَةِ فِي خِيَامِ حَامٍ. | ٥١ 51 |
And smote al the firstborne in Egypt, euen the beginning of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham.
| ثُمَّ سَاقَ شَعْبَهُ كَالْغَنَمِ وَاقْتَادَهُمْ مِثْلَ الْقَطِيعِ فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ. | ٥٢ 52 |
But hee made his people to goe out like sheepe, and led them in the wildernes like a flocke.
| هَدَاهُمْ آمِنِينَ فَلَمْ يَفْزَعُوا. أَمَّا أَعْدَاؤُهُمْ فَطَغَى الْبَحْرُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَغَمَرَهُمْ. | ٥٣ 53 |
Yea, he caried them out safely, and they feared not, and the Sea couered their enemies.
| وَأَدْخَلَهُمْ إِلَى تُخُومِ أَرْضِهِ الْمُقَدَّسَةِ، إِلَى الْجَبَلِ الَّذِي امْتَلَكَتْهُ يَمِينُهُ. | ٥٤ 54 |
And he brought them vnto the borders of his Sanctuarie: euen to this Mountaine, which his right hand purchased.
| ثُمَّ طَرَدَ الأُمَمَ مِنْ أَمَامِهِمْ وَقَسَمَ أَرْضَهُمْ بِالْحَبْلِ لِيَجْعَلَهَا مِيرَاثاً لِشَعْبِهِ، وَأَسْكَنَ فِي خِيَامِهِمْ أَسْبَاطَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٥٥ 55 |
He cast out the heathe also before them, and caused them to fall to the lot of his inheritance, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tabernacles.
| غَيْرَ أَنَّهُمْ جَرَّبُوا اللهَ الْعَلِيَّ وَتَمَرَّدُوا عَلَيْهِ، وَلَمْ يُرَاعُوا شَهَادَاتِهِ. | ٥٦ 56 |
Yet they tempted, and prouoked the most high God, and kept not his testimonies,
| بَلِ ارْتَدُّوا عَنْهُ وَغَدَرُوا كَمَا فَعَلَ آبَاؤُهُمْ، وَانْحَرَفُوا كَقَوْسٍ مُخْطِئَةٍ. | ٥٧ 57 |
But turned backe and delt falsely like their fathers: they turned like a deceitfull bowe.
| وَأَغَاظُوهُ بِمَعَابِدِ مُرْتَفَعَاتِهِمْ وَأَثَارُوا غَيْرَتَهُ بِأَصْنَامِهِمْ. | ٥٨ 58 |
And they prouoked him to anger with their high places, and mooued him to wrath with their grauen images.
| سَمِعَ اللهُ فَغَضِبَ، وَعَافَتْ نَفْسُهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ جِدّاً. | ٥٩ 59 |
God heard this and was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel,
| هَجَرَ مَسْكَنَهُ فِي شِيلُوهَ، تِلْكَ الْخَيْمَةَ الَّتِي نَصَبَهَا مَسْكَناً لَهُ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ. | ٦٠ 60 |
So that hee forsooke the habitation of Shilo, euen the Tabernacle where hee dwelt among men,
| وَأَسْلَمَ تَابُوتَ عَهْدِ عِزَّتِهِ إِلَى السَّبْيِ وَجَلالَهُ إِلَى يَدِ الْعَدُوِّ. | ٦١ 61 |
And deliuered his power into captiuitie, and his beautie into the enemies hand.
| وَدَفَعَ شَعْبَهُ إِلَى السَّيْفِ وَصَبَّ نِقْمَتَهُ عَلَى مِيْرَاثِهِ. | ٦٢ 62 |
And hee gaue vp his people to the sworde, and was angrie with his inheritance.
| فَالْتَهَمَتِ النَّارُ فِتْيَانَهُمْ، وَلَمْ تُنْشَدْ لِعَذَارَاهُمْ أُغْنِيَةُ زَوَاجٍ. | ٦٣ 63 |
The fire deuoured their chosen men, and their maides were not praised.
| سَقَطَ كَهَنَتُهُمْ صَرْعَى السَّيْفِ، وَأَرَامِلُهُمْ لَمْ يَنْدُبْنَ عَلَيْهِمْ. | ٦٤ 64 |
Their Priestes fell by the sworde, and their widowes lamented not.
| ثُمَّ اسْتَيْقَظَ الرَّبُّ كَمَا يَسْتَيْقِظُ النَّائِمُ، مِثْلَ جَبَّارٍ يَصْرُخُ عَالِياً مِنَ الْخَمْرِ. | ٦٥ 65 |
But the Lord awaked as one out of sleepe, and as a strong man that after his wine crieth out,
| فَضَرَبَ أَعْدَاءَهُ وَقَهَرَهُمْ، وَجَعَلَهُمْ عَاراً مَدَى الدَّهْرِ. | ٦٦ 66 |
And smote his enemies in the hinder parts, and put them to a perpetuall shame.
| رَفَضَ السُّكْنَى فِي خَيْمَةِ يُوسُفَ وَلَمْ يَخْتَرْ سِبْطَ أَفْرَايِمَ. | ٦٧ 67 |
Yet he refused the tabernacle of Ioseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim:
| بَلِ اصْطَفَى سِبْطَ يَهُوذَا، جَبَلَ صِهْيَوْنَ الَّذِي أَحَبَّهُ. | ٦٨ 68 |
But chose the tribe of Iudah, and mount Zion which he loued.
| فَشَيَّدَ هَيْكَلَهُ، (كَمَسْكِنِهِ) فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ العُلَى. جَعَلَهُ (ثَابِتاً) مِثْلَ الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أَسَّسَهَا إِلَى الأَبَدِ. | ٦٩ 69 |
And he built his Sanctuarie as an high palace, like the earth, which he stablished for euer.
| وَاصْطَفَى دَاوُدَ عَبْدَهُ، وَأَخَذَهُ مِنْ بَيْنِ حَظَائِرِ الْغَنَمِ. | ٧٠ 70 |
He chose Dauid also his seruant, and tooke him from the shepefolds.
| مِنْ خَلْفِ النِّعَاجِ الْمُرْضِعَةِ أَتَى بِهِ، لِيَرْعَى يَعْقُوبَ شَعْبَهُ وَإِسْرَائِيلَ مِيرَاثَهُ. | ٧١ 71 |
Euen from behinde the ewes with yong brought he him to feede his people in Iaakob, and his inheritance in Israel.
| فَرَعَاهُمْ بِقَلْبٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ، وَهَدَاهُمْ بِيَدَيْهِ الْمَاهِرَتَيْنِ. | ٧٢ 72 |
So he fed them according to the simplicitie of his heart, and guided them by the discretion of his hands.
