Psalms 81

1 For the Leader; upon the Gittith. A Psalm of Asaph. Sing aloud unto God our strength; shout unto the God of Jacob.

١ لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ عَلَى الْجَتِّيَّةِ. لآسَافَ رَنِّمُوا بِفَرَحٍ للهِ قُوَّتِنَا، اهْتِفُوا عَالِياً لإِلَهِ يَعْقُوبَ.

2 Take up the melody, and sound the timbrel, the sweet harp with the psaltery.

٢ أَنْشِدُوا نَشِيداً، وَانْقُرُوا عَلَى الدُّفِّ وَاعْزِفُوا عَلَى الْعُودِ الْمُطْرِبِ، وَعَلَى الرَّبَابِ.

3 Blow the horn at the new moon, at the full moon for our feast-day.

٣ انْفُخُوا بِالْبُوقِ فِي أَوَّلِ الشَّهْرِ، فِي الْوَقْتِ الْمُعَيَّنِ لِيَوْمِ عِيدِنَا،

4 For it is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob.

٤ لأَنَّ هَذَا فَرِيضَةٌ مَرْسُومَةٌ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَحُكْمٌ يُوْجِبُهُ إِلَهُ يَعْقُوبَ.

5 He appointed it in Joseph for a testimony, when He went forth against the land of Egypt. The speech of one that I knew not did I hear:

٥ جَعَلَهُ شَهَادَةً لَهُ بَيْنَ (قَوْمِ) يُوسُفَ، عِنْدَمَا ضَرَبَ مِصْرَ، حَيْثُ سَمِعْنَا لُغَةً لَمْ نَعْرِفْهَا تَقُولُ:

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

٦ «أَزَحْتُ كَتِفَهُ مِنْ تَحْتِ الأَحْمَالِ الثَّقِيلَةِ، وَسَلِمَتْ يَدَاهُ مِنْ حَمْلِ السِّلالِ.

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

٧ دَعَوْتَنِي فِي الضِّيقِ فَنَجَّيْتُكَ. اسْتَجَبْتُ لَكَ مِنْ مَكْمَنِ الرَّعْدِ. جَرَّبْتُكَ عِنْدَ مِيَاهِ مَرِيبَةَ.

8 Hear, O My people, and I will admonish thee: O Israel, if thou wouldest hearken unto Me!

٨ اسْمَعْ يَا شَعْبِي فَأُحَذِّرَكَ، يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ هَلّا سَمِعْتَ لِي؟

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

٩ لَا تَكُنْ فِيكَ عِبَادَةٌ لإِلَهٍ غَرِيبٍ، وَلَا تَسْجُدْ لإِلَهٍ أَجْنَبِيٍّ.

10 I am the LORD thy God, who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt; open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

١٠ أَنَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ الَّذِي أَنْقَذَكَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ: افْتَحْ فَمَكَ وَاسِعاً فَأَمْلأَهُ خَيْراً.

11 But My people hearkened not to My voice; and Israel would none of Me.

١١ غَيْرَ أَنَّ شَعْبِي لَمْ يَسْمَعْ لِي، وَإِسْرَائِيلَ لَمْ يَرْضَ بِي.

12 So I let them go after the stubbornness of their heart, that they might walk in their own counsels.

١٢ لِذَلِكَ أَسْلَمْتُهُمْ إِلَى عِنَادِ قُلُوبِهِمْ. وَسَلَكُوا وَفْقاً لِمَشُورَاتِ أَنْفُسِهِمْ.

13 Oh that My people would hearken unto Me, that Israel would walk in My ways!

١٣ لَوْ سَمِعَ لِي شَعْبِي وَسَلَكَ إِسْرَائِيلُ فِي طُرُقِي،

14 I would soon subdue their enemies, and turn My hand against their adversaries.

١٤ لَكُنْتُ أَخْضَعْتُ أَعْدَاءَهُمْ سَرِيعاً، وَحَوَّلْتُ يَدِي نَحْوَ خُصُومِهِمْ،

15 The haters of the LORD should dwindle away before Him; and their punishment should endure for ever.

١٥ وَلَكَانَ مُبْغِضِيَّ يَتَمَلَّقُونَنِي، وَلَطَالَتْ حِقْبَةُ عِقَابِهِمْ إِلَى الأَبَدِ.

16 They should also be fed with the fat of wheat; and with honey out of the rock would I satisfy thee.'

١٦ وَلَكُنْتُ أُطْعِمُ شَعْبِي أَفْخَرَ الْحِنْطَةِ، وَأُشْبِعُهُمْ عَسَلاً مِنَ الصَّخْرَةِ».
