Psalms 81

1 Unto the end, for the winepresses, a psalm for Asaph himself. Rejoice to God our helper: sing aloud to the God of Jacob.

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

2 Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel: the pleasant psaltery with the harp.

٢ ٱرْفَعُوا نَغْمَةً وَهَاتُوا دُفًّا، عُودًا حُلْوًا مَعَ رَبَابٍ.

3 Blow up the trumpet on the new moon, on the noted day of your solemnity.

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

4 For it is a commandment in Israel, and a judgment to the God of Jacob.

٤ لِأَنَّ هَذَا فَرِيضَةٌ لِإِسْرَائِيلَ، حُكْمٌ لِإِلَهِ يَعْقُوبَ.

5 He ordained it for a testimony in Joseph, when he came out of the land of Egypt: he heard a tongue which he knew not.

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

6 He removed his back from the burdens: his hands had served in baskets.

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

7 Thou calledst upon me in affliction, and I delivered thee: I heard thee in the secret place of tempest: I proved thee at the waters of contradiction.

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

8 Hear, O my people, and I will testify to thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken to me,

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

9 There shall be no new god in thee: neither shalt thou adore a strange god.

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

10 For I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee 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 heard not my voice: and Israel hearkened not to me.

١١ فَلَمْ يَسْمَعْ شَعْبِي لِصَوْتِي، وَإِسْرَائِيلُ لَمْ يَرْضَ بِي.

12 So I let them go according to the desires of their heart: they shall walk in their own inventions.

١٢ فَسَلَّمْتُهُمْ إِلَى قَسَاوَةِ قُلُوبِهِمْ، لِيَسْلُكُوا فِي مُؤَامَرَاتِ أَنْفُسِهِمْ.

13 If my people had heard me: if Israel had walked in my ways:

١٣ لَوْ سَمِعَ لِي شَعْبِي، وَسَلَكَ إِسْرَائِيلُ فِي طُرُقِي،

14 I should soon have humbled their enemies, and laid my hand on them that troubled them.

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

15 The enemies of the Lord have lied to him: and their time shall be for ever.

١٥ مُبْغِضُو ٱلرَّبِّ يَتَذَلَّلُونَ لَهُ، وَيَكُونُ وَقْتُهُمْ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ.

16 And he fed them with the fat of wheat, and filled them with honey out of the rock.

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