هَيَّا نُرَنِّمُ عَالِياً لِلرَّبِّ، وَنَهْتِفُ فَرَحاً لِصَخْرَةِ خَلاصِنَا. ١ 1
Come, let's sing for joy to the Lord! Let's shout in triumph to the rock of our salvation!
لِنَتَقَدَّمْ أَمَامَ حَضْرَتِهِ بِالشُّكْرِ، وَنَهْتِفْ لَهُ بِالتَّرْنِيمِ. ٢ 2
Let's go before him with thanksgiving! Let's sing loudly to him in celebration!
لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهٌ عَظِيمٌ، وَمَلِكٌ كَبِيرٌ عَلَى جَمِيعِ الآلِهَةِ. ٣ 3
For the Lord is a great God, a great king above all gods.
فِي يَدِهِ أَعْمَاقُ الأَرْضِ، وَقِمَمُ الْجِبَالِ مِلْكٌ لَهُ. ٤ 4
He rules over the depths of the earth and the heights of the mountains.
لَهُ الْبَحْرُ، وَهُوَ قَدْ صَنَعَهُ، وَيَدَاهُ كَوَّنَتَا الْيَابِسَةَ. ٥ 5
The sea is his, because he made it; the dry land, because he formed it.
تَعَالَوْا نَسْجُدُ وَنَنْحَنِي، لِنَرْكَعْ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ صَانِعِنَا، ٦ 6
Come, let's enter in and worship, let's kneel before the Lord our Creator.
فَإِنَّهُ هُوَ إِلَهُنَا، وَنَحْنُ رَعِيَّتُهُ وَقَطِيعُهُ الَّذِي يَقُودُهُ بِيَدِهِ. الْيَوْمَ إِنْ سَمِعْتُمْ صَوْتَهُ، ٧ 7
For he is our God, and we are the people he looks after like a shepherd, the flock he cares for. If you hear his voice calling you today,
فَلَا تُقَسُّوا قُلُوبَكُمْ، كَمَا حَدَثَ فِي يَوْمِ مَسَّةَ (أَيْ الامْتِحَانِ) فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ، ٨ 8
don't have a hard-hearted attitude, “as you did at Meribah, as you did that day at Massah in the desert,
عِنْدَمَا امْتَحَنَنِي آبَاؤُكُمْ وَاخْتَبَرُونِي وَشَهِدُوا جَمِيعَ عَجَائِبِي. ٩ 9
when your forefathers provoked me, testing my patience, even though they had seen everything I'd done.
أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً رَفَضْتُ ذَلِكَ الْجِيلَ، وَقُلْتُ: «هُمْ شَعْبٌ أَضَلَّتْهُمْ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَلَمْ يَعْرِفُوا قَطُّ طُرُقِي». ١٠ 10
For forty years I was disgusted with that generation, and I said, ‘They are people who are unfaithful to me in their minds, and they refuse to accept my ways.’
فَأَقْسَمْتُ فِي غَضَبِي قَائِلاً: «إِنَّهُمْ لَنْ يَدْخُلُوا مَكَانَ رَاحَتِي». ١١ 11
So in my frustration I vowed, ‘They will certainly not enter my rest.’”
