Psalms 106

1 Praise ye Yah, Give ye thanks to Yahweh—For he is good, For age-abiding, is his lovingkindness.

١ هَلِّلُويَا. اِحْمَدُوا ٱلرَّبَّ لِأَنَّهُ صَالِحٌ، لِأَنَّ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ رَحْمَتَهُ.

2 Who can relate the mighty deeds of Yahweh? can cause to be heard, all his praise?

٢ مَنْ يَتَكَلَّمُ بِجَبَرُوتِ ٱلرَّبِّ؟ مَنْ يُخْبِرُ بِكُلِّ تَسَابِيحِهِ؟

3 How happy! They who observe justice, He that executeth righteousness at all times.

٣ طُوبَى لِلْحَافِظِينَ ٱلْحَقَّ وَلِلصَّانِعِ ٱلْبِرَّ فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ.

4 Remember me, O Yahweh, when thou acceptest thy people, Visit me, with thy salvation;

٤ ٱذْكُرْنِي يَارَبُّ بِرِضَا شَعْبِكَ. تَعَهَّدْنِي بِخَلَاصِكَ،

5 That I may look upon the welfare of thy chosen ones, That I may rejoice in the joy of thy nation, That I may glory, with thine inheritance.

٥ لِأَرَى خَيْرَ مُخْتَارِيكَ. لِأَفْرَحَ بِفَرَحِ أُمَّتِكَ. لِأَفْتَخِرَ مَعَ مِيرَاثِكَ.

6 We have sinned—with our fathers, We have acted perversely, we have committed lawlessness;

٦ أَخْطَأْنَا مَعَ آبَائِنَا. أَسَأْنَا وَأَذْنَبْنَا.

7 Our fathers, in Egypt, understood not thy wonders, They remembered not the abounding of thy lovingkindnesses, but rebelled by the sea—at the Red Sea.

٧ آبَاؤُنَا فِي مِصْرَ لَمْ يَفْهَمُوا عَجَائِبَكَ. لَمْ يَذْكُرُوا كَثْرَةَ مَرَاحِمِكَ، فَتَمَرَّدُوا عِنْدَ ٱلْبَحْرِ، عِنْدَ بَحْرِ سُوفٍ.

8 Yet he saved them, for the sake of his Name, to make known his mighty power;

٨ فَخَلَّصَهُمْ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱسْمِهِ، لِيُعَرِّفَ بِجَبَرُوتِهِ.

9 So he rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up, And he led them through deeps, as pasture-land;

٩ وَٱنْتَهَرَ بَحْرَ سُوفٍ فَيَبِسَ، وَسَيَّرَهُمْ فِي ٱللُّجَجِ كَٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ.

10 And saved them from the hand of one full of hatred, And redeemed them out of the hand of the foe;

١٠ وَخَلَّصَهُمْ مِنْ يَدِ ٱلْمُبْغِضِ، وَفَدَاهُمْ مِنْ يَدِ ٱلْعَدُوِّ.

11 So the waters covered their adversaries, Not one from among them, was left.

١١ وَغَطَّتِ ٱلْمِيَاهُ مُضَايِقِيهِمْ. وَاحِدٌ مِنْهُمْ لَمْ يَبْقَ.

12 They believed therefore in his words, They sang his praise.

١٢ فَآمَنُوا بِكَلَامِهِ. غَنَّوْا بِتَسْبِيحِهِ.

13 Soon forgat they his works, —They waited not for his counsel;

١٣ أَسْرَعُوا فَنَسُوا أَعْمَالَهُ. لَمْ يَنْتَظِرُوا مَشُورَتَهُ.

14 But lusted a lust in the desert, and tested GOD in the waste.

١٤ بَلِ ٱشْتَهَوْا شَهْوَةً فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ، وَجَرَّبُوا ٱللهَ فِي ٱلْقَفْرِ.

15 So he gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul.

١٥ فَأَعْطَاهُمْ سُؤْلَهُمْ، وَأَرْسَلَ هُزَالًا فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ.

16 And they became jealous of Moses in the camp, —of Aaron the holy one of Yahweh;

١٦ وَحَسَدُوا مُوسَى فِي ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ، وَهارُونَ قُدُّوسَ ٱلرَّبِّ.

17 The earth opened and engulfed Dathan, and covered up the assembly of Abiram;

١٧ فَتَحَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَٱبْتَلَعَتْ دَاثَانَ، وَطَبَقَتْ عَلَى جَمَاعَةِ أَبِيرَامَ،

18 Then was kindled a fire in their assembly, —a flame, consumed the lawless ones.

١٨ وَٱشْتَعَلَتْ نَارٌ فِي جَمَاعَتِهِمْ. ٱللَّهِيبُ أَحْرَقَ ٱلْأَشْرَارَ.

19 They made a calf in Horeb, —and bowed down to a molten image;

١٩ صَنَعُوا عِجْلًا فِي حُورِيبَ، وَسَجَدُوا لِتِمْثَالٍ مَسْبُوكٍ،

20 Thus changed they my glory, for the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.

٢٠ وَأَبْدَلُوا مَجْدَهُمْ بِمِثَالِ ثَوْرٍ آكِلِ عُشْبٍ.

21 They forgat GOD their saviour, who had done great things in Egypt:

٢١ نَسُوا ٱللهَ مُخَلِّصَهُمُ، ٱلصَّانِعَ عَظَائِمَ فِي مِصْرَ،

22 Wonders in the land of Ham, Terrible things by the Red Sea.

٢٢ وَعَجَائِبَ فِي أَرْضِ حَامٍ، وَمَخَاوِفَ عَلَى بَحْرِ سُوفٍ،

23 Then would he have bidden to destroy them, —had not Moses his chosen, stood in the breach before him, To turn back his wrath from destroying.

٢٣ فَقَالَ بِإِهْلَاكِهِمْ. لَوْلَا مُوسَى مُخْتَارُهُ وَقَفَ فِي ٱلثَّغْرِ قُدَّامَهُ لِيَصْرِفَ غَضَبَهُ عَنْ إِتْلَافِهِمْ.

24 And they refused the delightful land, They believed not his word;

٢٤ وَرَذَلُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلشَّهِيَّةَ. لَمْ يُؤْمِنُوا بِكَلِمَتِهِ.

25 But murmured in their tents, —They hearkened not unto the voice of Yahweh.

٢٥ بَلْ تَمَرْمَرُوا فِي خِيَامِهِمْ. لَمْ يَسْمَعُوا لِصَوْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ،

26 So he lifted up his hand unto them, that he would let them fall in the desert;

٢٦ فَرَفَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَيْهِمْ لِيُسْقِطَهُمْ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ،

27 And would disperse their seed among the nations, and would scatter them throughout the lands.

٢٧ وَلِيُسْقِطَ نَسْلَهُمْ بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ، وَلِيُبَدِّدَهُمْ فِي ٱلْأَرَاضِي.

28 Yet they let themselves be bound to Baal-peor, —and did eat sacrifices to the dead:

٢٨ وَتَعَلَّقُوا بِبَعْلِ فَغُورَ، وَأَكَلُوا ذَبَائِحَ ٱلْمَوْتَى.

29 So they provoked to anger by their doings, and a plague, made a breach among them.

٢٩ وَأَغَاظُوهُ بِأَعْمَالِهِمْ فَٱقْتَحَمَهُمُ ٱلْوَبَأُ.

30 Then stood up Phinehas, and interposed, and stayed was the plague:

٣٠ فَوَقَفَ فِينَحَاسُ وَدَانَ، فَٱمْتَنَعَ ٱلْوَبَأُ.

31 So it was counted unto him, for righteousness, To generation after generation, unto times age abiding.

٣١ فَحُسِبَ لَهُ ذَلِكَ بِرًّا إِلَى دَوْرٍ فَدَوْرٍ، إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ.

32 And they provoked by the waters of Meribah, —And it fared ill with Moses, for their sakes;

٣٢ وَأَسْخَطُوهُ عَلَى مَاءِ مَرِيبَةَ حَتَّى تَأَذَّى مُوسَى بِسَبَبِهِمْ.

33 For they embittered his spirit, and he spake rashly with his lips.

٣٣ لِأَنَّهُمْ أَمَرُّوا رُوحَهُ حَتَّى فَرَطَ بِشَفَتَيْهِ.

34 They destroyed not the peoples of which Yahweh had spoken to them;

٣٤ لَمْ يَسْتَأْصِلُوا ٱلْأُمَمَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالَ لَهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ عَنْهُمْ،

35 But had fellowship with the nations, and learned their doings;

٣٥ بَلِ ٱخْتَلَطُوا بِٱلْأُمَمِ وَتَعَلَّمُوا أَعْمَالَهُمْ.

36 Yea they served their idols, and they became to them a snare:

٣٦ وَعَبَدُوا أَصْنَامَهُمْ، فَصَارَتْ لَهُمْ شَرَكًا.

37 Yea they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to mischievous demons;

٣٧ وَذَبَحُوا بَنِيهِمْ وَبَنَاتِهِمْ لِلْأَوْثَانِ.

38 And poured out innocent blood, the blood of their sons and their daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, And the land was polluted with blood-shed;

٣٨ وَأَهْرَقُوا دَمًا زَكِيًّا، دَمَ بَنِيهِمْ وَبَنَاتِهِمِ ٱلَّذِينَ ذَبَحُوهُمْ لِأَصْنَامِ كَنْعَانَ، وَتَدَنَّسَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ بِٱلدِّمَاءِ.

39 And they became unclean by their works, and became unchaste in their doings.

٣٩ وَتَنَجَّسُوا بِأَعْمَالِهِمْ وَزَنَوْا بِأَفْعَالِهِمْ.

40 Then was kindled the anger of Yahweh with his people, and he abhorred his own inheritance.

٤٠ فَحَمِيَ غَضَبُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى شَعْبِهِ، وَكَرِهَ مِيرَاثَهُ.

41 So he delivered them up into the hand of the nations, And they who hated them, had dominion over them;

٤١ وَأَسْلَمَهُمْ لِيَدِ ٱلْأُمَمِ، وَتَسَلَّطَ عَلَيْهِمْ مُبْغِضُوهُمْ.

42 And their enemies oppressed them, And they were bowed down under their hand.

٤٢ وَضَغَطَهُمْ أَعْدَاؤُهُمْ، فَذَلُّوا تَحْتَ يَدِهِمْ.

43 Many times, did he rescue them, —But, they, rebelled by their counsel, and sank low in their iniquity.

٤٣ مَرَّاتٍ كَثِيرَةً أَنْقَذَهُمْ، أَمَّا هُمْ فَعَصَوْهُ بِمَشُورَتِهِمْ وَٱنْحَطُّوا بِإِثْمِهِمْ.

44 Then looked he on the distress which befell them, —when he heard their loud cry;

٤٤ فَنَظَرَ إِلَى ضِيقِهِمْ إِذْ سَمِعَ صُرَاخَهُمْ.

45 Then remembered he, for them, his covenant, and was moved to pity, according to the abounding of his lovingkindnesses;

٤٥ وَذَكَرَ لَهُمْ عَهْدَهُ، وَنَدِمَ حَسَبَ كَثْرَةِ رَحْمَتِهِ.

46 And granted them compassion before all their captors.

٤٦ وَأَعْطَاهُمْ نِعْمَةً قُدَّامَ كُلِّ ٱلَّذِينَ سَبَوْهُمْ.

47 Save us, O Yahweh our God, and gather us from among the nations, That we may give thanks unto thy holy Name, That we may triumph aloud in thy praise.

٤٧ خَلِّصْنَا أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا، وَٱجْمَعْنَا مِنْ بَيْنِ ٱلْأُمَمِ، لِنَحْمَدَ ٱسْمَ قُدْسِكَ، وَنَتَفَاخَرَ بِتَسْبِيحِكَ.

48 Blessed be Yahweh, God of Israel, from one age even unto another, And all the people, shall say, Amen! Praise ye Yah!

٤٨ مُبَارَكٌ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنَ ٱلْأَزَلِ وَإِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. وَيَقُولُ كُلُّ ٱلشَّعْبِ: «آمِينَ». هَلِّلُويَا.
