لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ عَلَى الْجَتِّيَّةِ. لآسَافَ رَنِّمُوا بِفَرَحٍ للهِ قُوَّتِنَا، اهْتِفُوا عَالِياً لإِلَهِ يَعْقُوبَ. ١ 1
“For the leader of the music. On the Gittith. A psalm of Asaph.” Sing joyfully to God, our strength! Shout with gladness to the God of Jacob!
أَنْشِدُوا نَشِيداً، وَانْقُرُوا عَلَى الدُّفِّ وَاعْزِفُوا عَلَى الْعُودِ الْمُطْرِبِ، وَعَلَى الرَّبَابِ. ٢ 2
Raise a song, and strike the timbrel, The sweet-sounding harp, and the psaltery!
انْفُخُوا بِالْبُوقِ فِي أَوَّلِ الشَّهْرِ، فِي الْوَقْتِ الْمُعَيَّنِ لِيَوْمِ عِيدِنَا، ٣ 3
Blow the trumpet at the new moon; At the full moon, also, on our festal day!
لأَنَّ هَذَا فَرِيضَةٌ مَرْسُومَةٌ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَحُكْمٌ يُوْجِبُهُ إِلَهُ يَعْقُوبَ. ٤ 4
For this is a statute for Israel, A law of the God of Jacob;
جَعَلَهُ شَهَادَةً لَهُ بَيْنَ (قَوْمِ) يُوسُفَ، عِنْدَمَا ضَرَبَ مِصْرَ، حَيْثُ سَمِعْنَا لُغَةً لَمْ نَعْرِفْهَا تَقُولُ: ٥ 5
He appointed it as a memorial in Joseph, When he went out of the land of Egypt, Where he heard a language which he knew not.
«أَزَحْتُ كَتِفَهُ مِنْ تَحْتِ الأَحْمَالِ الثَّقِيلَةِ، وَسَلِمَتْ يَدَاهُ مِنْ حَمْلِ السِّلالِ. ٦ 6
“I relieved [[said he]] thy shoulders from their burden; Thy hands were removed from the hod.
دَعَوْتَنِي فِي الضِّيقِ فَنَجَّيْتُكَ. اسْتَجَبْتُ لَكَ مِنْ مَكْمَنِ الرَّعْدِ. جَرَّبْتُكَ عِنْدَ مِيَاهِ مَرِيبَةَ. ٧ 7
Thou didst call in trouble, and I delivered thee; In the secret place of thunder I answered thee; I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. (Pause)
اسْمَعْ يَا شَعْبِي فَأُحَذِّرَكَ، يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ هَلّا سَمِعْتَ لِي؟ ٨ 8
Hear, O my people! and I will admonish thee! O Israel! that thou wouldst hearken to me!
لَا تَكُنْ فِيكَ عِبَادَةٌ لإِلَهٍ غَرِيبٍ، وَلَا تَسْجُدْ لإِلَهٍ أَجْنَبِيٍّ. ٩ 9
Let there be no strange god within thee, Nor worship thou any foreign god!
أَنَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ الَّذِي أَنْقَذَكَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ: افْتَحْ فَمَكَ وَاسِعاً فَأَمْلأَهُ خَيْراً. ١٠ 10
I Jehovah am thy God, Who brought thee out of the land of Egypt: Open wide thy mouth, and I will fill it!
غَيْرَ أَنَّ شَعْبِي لَمْ يَسْمَعْ لِي، وَإِسْرَائِيلَ لَمْ يَرْضَ بِي. ١١ 11
But my people would not listen to my voice, And Israel would not hearken to me.
لِذَلِكَ أَسْلَمْتُهُمْ إِلَى عِنَادِ قُلُوبِهِمْ. وَسَلَكُوا وَفْقاً لِمَشُورَاتِ أَنْفُسِهِمْ. ١٢ 12
So I gave them up to the obstinacy of their hearts, And they walked according to their own devices.
لَوْ سَمِعَ لِي شَعْبِي وَسَلَكَ إِسْرَائِيلُ فِي طُرُقِي، ١٣ 13
“O that my people had hearkened to me! That Israel had walked in my ways!
لَكُنْتُ أَخْضَعْتُ أَعْدَاءَهُمْ سَرِيعاً، وَحَوَّلْتُ يَدِي نَحْوَ خُصُومِهِمْ، ١٤ 14
Soon would I have brought low their enemies, And turned my hand against their adversaries.
وَلَكَانَ مُبْغِضِيَّ يَتَمَلَّقُونَنِي، وَلَطَالَتْ حِقْبَةُ عِقَابِهِمْ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. ١٥ 15
The haters of Jehovah should have become suppliants to them, And their prosperity should have endured for ever.
وَلَكُنْتُ أُطْعِمُ شَعْبِي أَفْخَرَ الْحِنْطَةِ، وَأُشْبِعُهُمْ عَسَلاً مِنَ الصَّخْرَةِ». ١٦ 16
With the finest of the wheat I would have fed them, And with honey out of the rock would I have satisfied them.”
