Psalms 81

1 To the chief Musician. Upon the Gittith. [A Psalm] of Asaph. Sing ye joyously unto God our strength, shout aloud unto the God of Jacob;

١ لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ عَلَى «ٱلْجَتِّيَّةِ». لِآسَافَ رَنِّمُوا لِلهِ قُوَّتِنَا. ٱهْتِفُوا لِإِلَهِ يَعْقُوبَ.

2 Raise a song, and sound the tambour, the pleasant harp with the lute.

٢ ٱرْفَعُوا نَغْمَةً وَهَاتُوا دُفًّا، عُودًا حُلْوًا مَعَ رَبَابٍ.

3 Blow the trumpet at the new moon, at the set time, on our feast day:

٣ ٱنْفُخُوا فِي رَأْسِ ٱلشَّهْرِ بِٱلْبُوقِ، عِنْدَ ٱلْهِلَالِ لِيَوْمِ عِيدِنَا.

4 For this is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob;

٤ لِأَنَّ هَذَا فَرِيضَةٌ لِإِسْرَائِيلَ، حُكْمٌ لِإِلَهِ يَعْقُوبَ.

5 He ordained it in Joseph [for] a testimony, when he went forth over the land of Egypt, [where] I heard a language that I knew not.

٥ جَعَلَهُ شَهَادَةً فِي يُوسُفَ عِنْدَ خُرُوجِهِ عَلَى أَرْضِ مِصْرَ. سَمِعْتُ لِسَانًا لَمْ أَعْرِفْهُ:

6 I removed his shoulder from the burden; his hands were freed from the basket.

٦ «أَبْعَدْتُ مِنَ ٱلْحِمْلِ كَتِفَهُ. يَدَاهُ تَحَوَّلَتَا عَنِ ٱلسَّلِّ.

7 Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder; I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. (Selah)

٧ فِي ٱلضِّيقِ دَعَوْتَ فَنَجَّيْتُكَ. ٱسْتَجَبْتُكَ فِي سِتْرِ ٱلرَّعْدِ. جَرَّبْتُكَ عَلَى مَاءِ مَرِيبَةَ. سِلَاهْ.

8 Hear, my people, and I will testify unto thee; O Israel, if thou wouldest hearken unto me!

٨ «اِسْمَعْ يَا شَعْبِي فَأُحَذِّرَكَ. يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، إِنْ سَمِعْتَ لِي!

9 There shall no strange god be in thee, neither shalt thou worship any foreign god.

٩ لَا يَكُنْ فِيكَ إِلَهٌ غَرِيبٌ، وَلَا تَسْجُدْ لِإِلَهٍ أَجْنَبِيٍّ.

10 I am Jehovah thy God, that brought thee up out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

١٠ أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ، ٱلَّذِي أَصْعَدَكَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ. أَفْغِرْ فَاكَ فَأَمْلَأَهُ.

11 But my people hearkened not to my voice, and Israel would none of me.

١١ فَلَمْ يَسْمَعْ شَعْبِي لِصَوْتِي، وَإِسْرَائِيلُ لَمْ يَرْضَ بِي.

12 So I gave them up unto their own hearts' stubbornness: they walked after their own counsels.

١٢ فَسَلَّمْتُهُمْ إِلَى قَسَاوَةِ قُلُوبِهِمْ، لِيَسْلُكُوا فِي مُؤَامَرَاتِ أَنْفُسِهِمْ.

13 Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, that Israel had walked in my ways!

١٣ لَوْ سَمِعَ لِي شَعْبِي، وَسَلَكَ إِسْرَائِيلُ فِي طُرُقِي،

14 I would soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.

١٤ سَرِيعًا كُنْتُ أُخْضِعُ أَعْدَاءَهُمْ، وَعَلَى مُضَايِقِيهِمْ كُنْتُ أَرُدُّ يَدِي.

15 The haters of Jehovah would have come cringing unto him; but their time would have been for ever.

١٥ مُبْغِضُو ٱلرَّبِّ يَتَذَلَّلُونَ لَهُ، وَيَكُونُ وَقْتُهُمْ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ.

16 And he would have fed them with the finest of wheat; yea, with honey out of the rock would I have satisfied thee.

١٦ وَكَانَ أَطْعَمَهُ مِنْ شَحْمِ ٱلْحِنْطَةِ، وَمِنَ ٱلصَّخْرَةِ كُنْتُ أُشْبِعُكَ عَسَلًا».
