Psalms 81
1 For the choirmaster. According to Gittith. Of Asaph. Sing for joy to God our strength; make a joyful noise to the God of Jacob.
| لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ عَلَى الْجَتِّيَّةِ. لآسَافَ رَنِّمُوا بِفَرَحٍ للهِ قُوَّتِنَا، اهْتِفُوا عَالِياً لإِلَهِ يَعْقُوبَ. | ١ |
2 Lift up a song, strike the tambourine, play the sweet-sounding harp and lyre.
| أَنْشِدُوا نَشِيداً، وَانْقُرُوا عَلَى الدُّفِّ وَاعْزِفُوا عَلَى الْعُودِ الْمُطْرِبِ، وَعَلَى الرَّبَابِ. | ٢ |
3 Sound the ram’s horn at the New Moon, and at the full moon on the day of our Feast.
| انْفُخُوا بِالْبُوقِ فِي أَوَّلِ الشَّهْرِ، فِي الْوَقْتِ الْمُعَيَّنِ لِيَوْمِ عِيدِنَا، | ٣ |
4 For this is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob.
| لأَنَّ هَذَا فَرِيضَةٌ مَرْسُومَةٌ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَحُكْمٌ يُوْجِبُهُ إِلَهُ يَعْقُوبَ. | ٤ |
5 He ordained it as a testimony for Joseph when he went out over the land of Egypt, where I heard an unfamiliar language:
| جَعَلَهُ شَهَادَةً لَهُ بَيْنَ (قَوْمِ) يُوسُفَ، عِنْدَمَا ضَرَبَ مِصْرَ، حَيْثُ سَمِعْنَا لُغَةً لَمْ نَعْرِفْهَا تَقُولُ: | ٥ |
6 “I relieved his shoulder of the burden; his hands were freed from the basket.
| «أَزَحْتُ كَتِفَهُ مِنْ تَحْتِ الأَحْمَالِ الثَّقِيلَةِ، وَسَلِمَتْ يَدَاهُ مِنْ حَمْلِ السِّلالِ. | ٦ |
7 You called out in distress, and I rescued you; I answered you from the cloud of thunder; I tested you at the waters of Meribah.
| دَعَوْتَنِي فِي الضِّيقِ فَنَجَّيْتُكَ. اسْتَجَبْتُ لَكَ مِنْ مَكْمَنِ الرَّعْدِ. جَرَّبْتُكَ عِنْدَ مِيَاهِ مَرِيبَةَ. | ٧ |
8 Hear, O My people, and I will warn you: O Israel, if only you would listen to Me!
| اسْمَعْ يَا شَعْبِي فَأُحَذِّرَكَ، يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ هَلّا سَمِعْتَ لِي؟ | ٨ |
9 There must be no strange god among you, nor shall you bow to a foreign god.
| لَا تَكُنْ فِيكَ عِبَادَةٌ لإِلَهٍ غَرِيبٍ، وَلَا تَسْجُدْ لإِلَهٍ أَجْنَبِيٍّ. | ٩ |
10 I am the LORD your God, who brought you up out of Egypt. Open wide your mouth, and I will fill it.
| أَنَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ الَّذِي أَنْقَذَكَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ: افْتَحْ فَمَكَ وَاسِعاً فَأَمْلأَهُ خَيْراً. | ١٠ |
11 But My people would not listen to Me, and Israel would not obey Me.
| غَيْرَ أَنَّ شَعْبِي لَمْ يَسْمَعْ لِي، وَإِسْرَائِيلَ لَمْ يَرْضَ بِي. | ١١ |
12 So I gave them up to their stubborn hearts to follow their own devices.
| لِذَلِكَ أَسْلَمْتُهُمْ إِلَى عِنَادِ قُلُوبِهِمْ. وَسَلَكُوا وَفْقاً لِمَشُورَاتِ أَنْفُسِهِمْ. | ١٢ |
13 If only My people would listen to Me, if Israel would follow My ways,
| لَوْ سَمِعَ لِي شَعْبِي وَسَلَكَ إِسْرَائِيلُ فِي طُرُقِي، | ١٣ |
14 how soon I would subdue their enemies and turn My hand against their foes!
| لَكُنْتُ أَخْضَعْتُ أَعْدَاءَهُمْ سَرِيعاً، وَحَوَّلْتُ يَدِي نَحْوَ خُصُومِهِمْ، | ١٤ |
15 Those who hate the LORD would feign obedience, and their doom would last forever.
| وَلَكَانَ مُبْغِضِيَّ يَتَمَلَّقُونَنِي، وَلَطَالَتْ حِقْبَةُ عِقَابِهِمْ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. | ١٥ |
16 But I would feed you the finest wheat; with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.”
| وَلَكُنْتُ أُطْعِمُ شَعْبِي أَفْخَرَ الْحِنْطَةِ، وَأُشْبِعُهُمْ عَسَلاً مِنَ الصَّخْرَةِ». | ١٦ |
