Psalms 105
1 Give thanks to Yahweh, and tell others that he is very great! Tell everyone in the world what he has done!
| قَدِّمُوا الشُّكْرَ لِلرَّبِّ. ادْعُوا بِاسْمِهِ. عَرِّفُوا بِأَعْمَالِهِ بَيْنَ الشُّعُوبِ. | ١ |
2 Sing to him; praise him as you sing to him; tell others about his wonderful miracles.
| غَنُّوا لَهُ، اشْدُوا لَهُ. حَدِّثُوا بِكُلِّ عَجَائِبِهِ. | ٢ |
3 Be happy because [you know that] he [MTY] is holy! You people who worship Yahweh, rejoice!
| تَبَاهَوْا بِاسْمِهِ الْقُدُّوسِ، لِتَفْرَحْ قُلُوبُ طَالِبِي الرَّبِّ. | ٣ |
4 Ask Yahweh to help you and give you his strength, and continue to ask him!
| اطْلُبُوا الرَّبَّ وَقُوَّتَهُ، الْتَمِسُوا وَجْهَهُ دَائِماً. | ٤ |
5 You people who are descendants of God’s servant Abraham, you descendants of Jacob, the man God chose, think about [all] the wonderful things that he has done: He performed miracles, and he punished [all our enemies].
| اذْكُرُوا عَجَائِبَهُ الَّتِي صَنَعَهَا، مُعْجِزَاتِهِ وَأَحْكَامَهُ الَّتِي نَطَقَ بِها. | ٥ |
| يَا ذُرِّيَّةَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَبْدِهِ، يَا بَنِي يَعْقُوبَ الَّذِينَ اخْتَارَهُمْ. | ٦ |
7 He is Yahweh, our God. He rules and judges [people] throughout the earth.
| هُوَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا، أَحْكَامُهُ تَمْلأُ الأَرْضَ كُلَّهَا. | ٧ |
8 He never forgets the agreement that he made; he made a promise that will last for 1,000 generations;
| لَمْ يَنْسَ عَهْدَهُ قَطُّ وَلَا وَعْدَهُ الَّذِي قَطَعَهُ إِلَى أَلْفِ جِيلٍ، | ٨ |
9 that is the agreement that he made with Abraham, and he repeated that agreement with Isaac.
| الْعَهْدَ الَّذِي أَبْرَمَهُ مَعَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَالْقَسَمَ الَّذِي أَقْسَمَ بِهِ لإِسْحَاقَ. | ٩ |
10 [Later] he confirmed it [again] to Jacob as an agreement for the Israeli [people] that would last forever.
| ثُمَّ ثَبَّتَهُ لِيَعْقُوبَ فَرِيضَةً، وَلإِسْرَائِيلَ مِيثَاقاً أَبَدِيًّا، | ١٠ |
11 What he said was, “I will give you the Canaan region; it will belong to you [and your descendants forever].”
| قَائِلاً: «لَكَ أُعْطِي أَرْضَ كَنْعَانَ نَصِيبَ مِيرَاثٍ لَكُمْ». | ١١ |
12 [He said that to them] when there were only a few of them, a tiny group of people who were living in that land like strangers.
| إِذْ كَانُوا قِلَّةً بَعْدُ، نَفَراً ضَئِيلاً مُتَغَرِّبِينَ فِي الأَرْضِ. | ١٢ |
13 They continued to wander from one place to another, from one kingdom to another.
| مُتَنَقِّلِينَ مِنْ أُمَّةٍ إِلَى أُمَّةٍ، وَمِنْ مَمْلَكَةٍ إِلَى أُخْرَى. | ١٣ |
14 But he did not allow others to oppress them. He warned those kings by saying to them,
| فَلَمْ يَدَعْ أَيَّ إِنْسَانٍ يَظْلِمُهُمْ، بَلْ وَبَّخَ مُلُوكاً مِنْ أَجْلِهِمْ. | ١٤ |
15 “Do not do harm the [people] whom I have chosen! Do not harm my prophets!”
| قَائِلاً: «لَا تَمَسُّوا مُسَحَائِي، وَلَا تُؤْذُوا أَنْبِيَائِي». | ١٥ |
16 He sent a famine to Canaan, and [as a result all the people] had no food to eat.
| ثُمَّ أَفْشَى مَجَاعَةً فِي الأَرْضِ، وَقَطَعَ الْخُبْزَ قِوَامَ طَعَامِهِمْ. | ١٦ |
17 So his people went to Egypt, but first he sent someone there. He sent Joseph, who had been sold to be a slave.
| لَكِنَّهُ أَرْسَلَ أَمَامَهُمْ يُوسُفَ، فَبِيعَ عَبْداً. | ١٧ |
18 [Later, while Joseph was in prison in Egypt], they put his legs in shackles that bruised his feet, and they put an iron collar around his neck.
| آذَوْا بِالْقُيُودِ قَدَمَيْهِ، وَبِالْحَدِيدِ طَوَّقُوا عُنُقَهُ. | ١٨ |
19 There, Yahweh (refined Joseph’s character/tested Joseph to see if Joseph would continue to trust him), until what Joseph predicted would happen (came true/happened).
| إِلَى أَنْ تَحَقَّقَ تَفْسِيرُهُ لِلأَحْلامِ فِي أَوَانِهِ، وَبَرْهَنَتْ كَلِمَةُ الرَّبِّ صِدْقَهُ. | ١٩ |
20 The king [of Egypt] summoned him, and he set Joseph free; this ruler of many people-groups released Joseph [from prison].
| فَأَرْسَلَ الْمَلِكُ وَأَطْلَقَهُ، حَاكِمُ الشَّعْبِ حَرَّرَهُ. | ٢٠ |
21 [Then] he appointed him to take care of everything in the king’s household, to take care of everything that the king possessed.
| أَقَامَهُ سَيِّداً عَلَى قَصْرِهِ، وَمُتَسَلِّطاً عَلَى جَمِيعِ أَمْلاكِهِ. | ٢١ |
22 (Joseph was permitted/He permitted Joseph) to command the king’s servants to do anything that Joseph wanted them to do, and [even] to tell the king’s advisors the things that they should do [for the people of Egypt].
| يَتَصَرَّفُ بِوُلاتِهِ حَسَبَ مَسَرَّتِهِ، وَيُلَقِّنُ شُيُوخَهُ الْحِكْمَةَ. | ٢٢ |
23 Later, [Joseph’s father] Jacob arrived in Egypt. He lived like a foreigner in the land that belonged to the descendants of Ham.
| ثُمَّ جَاءَ إِسْرَائِيلُ إِلَى أَرْضِ مِصْرَ. تَغَرَّبَ يَعْقُوبُ فِي بَلَدِ حَامٍ. | ٢٣ |
24 And [years later] Yahweh caused the descendants of Jacob to become very numerous. [As a result], their enemies, [the Egyptians], considered that the Israelis were too strong.
| فَكَثَّرَ اللهُ شَعْبَهُ، وَجَعَلَهُ أَقْوَى مِنْ أَعْدَائِهِ، | ٢٤ |
25 [So] Yahweh caused the rulers of Egypt to (turn against/hate) the Israeli people, and they planned ways to get rid of his people.
| الَّذِينَ حَوَّلَ قُلُوبَهُمْ لِيُبْغِضُوا شَعْبَهُ، وَيَكِيدُوا لِعَبِيدِهِ. | ٢٥ |
26 [But then] Yahweh sent his servant Moses along with [Moses’ older brother] Aaron, whom Yahweh had [also] chosen [to be his servant].
| عِنْدَئِذٍ أَرْسَلَ مُوسَى عَبْدَهُ وَهَارُونَ مُخْتَارَهُ. | ٢٦ |
27 Those two performed amazing miracles among the people of Egypt, in that land where the descendants of Ham lived.
| فَأَجْرَيَا بَيْنَهُمْ آيَاتِهِ، وَصَنَعَا عَجَائِبَ فِي مِصْرَ. | ٢٧ |
28 Yahweh sent darkness, so that the people of Egypt could not see anything [DOU], but the rulers of Egypt refused [RHQ] to obey when [Moses and Aaron] commanded [them to let the Israeli people leave Egypt].
| بَعَثَ ظَلاماً، تَغَشَّتْ بِهِ الأَرْضُ، وَلَكِنَّ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ عَانَدُوا كَلِمَتَهُ. | ٢٨ |
29 Yahweh caused [all] the water in Egypt to become (blood/[red like] blood), and [his doing that] caused all the fish to die.
| حَوَّلَ مِيَاهَهُمْ إِلَى دَمٍ وَأَمَاتَ أَسْمَاكَهُمْ. | ٢٩ |
30 [Then he caused] the land to become full of frogs; the king and his officials even had frogs in their bedrooms.
| فَاضَتْ أَرْضُهُمْ ضَفَادِعَ حَتَّى بَلَغَتْ مَخَادِعَ مُلُوكِهِمْ. | ٣٠ |
31 [Then] Yahweh commanded that flies come, and swarms of them descended [on the people of Egypt], and gnats [also] swarmed across the whole country.
| أَمَرَ فَأَقْبَلَ الذُّبَابُ وَالْبَعُوضُ فَانْتَشَرَ فِي كُلِّ أَرْضِهِمْ | ٣١ |
32 Instead of sending rain, Yahweh sent [terrible] hail, and lightning flashed throughout the land.
| أَمْطَرَ عَلَيْهِمْ بَرَداً وَأَلْهَبَ أَرْضَهُمْ بِالْبُرُوقِ. | ٣٢ |
33 The hail ruined their grapevines and fig trees and shattered all the [other] trees.
| ضَرَبَ كُرُومَهُمْ وَتِينَهُمْ، وَهَشَّمَ كُلَّ أَشْجَارِهِمْ | ٣٣ |
34 He commanded locusts to come, and swarms of them came; [so many that] they could not be counted.
| أَمَرَ، فَتَوَافَدَ الْجَرَادُ الطَّيَّارُ وَالزَّحَّافُ بِأَعْدَادٍ لَا تُحْصَى، | ٣٤ |
35 The locusts ate every green plant in the land, ruining all the crops.
| فَالْتَهَمَ كُلَّ عُشْبِ أَرْضِهِمْ، وَأَكَلَ ثِمَارَ حُقُولِهِمْ. | ٣٥ |
36 [Then] Yahweh killed the oldest son in every house [of the people of Egypt] [DOU].
| ثُمَّ قَتَلَ الرَّبُّ جَمِيعَ أَبْكَارِ أَرْضِهِمْ، أَوَائِلَ ثِمَارِ خُصُوبَتِهِمْ جَمِيعاً. | ٣٦ |
37 Then he brought the Israeli [people] out [from Egypt]; they were carrying loads of [jewelry made of] silver and gold [that the women of Egypt had given to them]. No one was left behind because of being sick.
| وَأَخْرَجَ شَعْبَهُ مُحَمَّلِينَ بِفِضَّةٍ وَذَهَبٍ، وَلَمْ يَتَعَثَّرْ فِي الْمَسِيرِ مِنْ عَشَائِرِهِمْ وَاحِدٌ. | ٣٧ |
38 [The people of] Egypt were glad when the Israeli people left, because they had become very afraid of the Israelis.
| فَرِحَ أَهْلُ مِصْرَ بِخُرُوجِهِمْ لأَنَّ رُعْبَهُمْ غَلَبَ عَلَيْهِمْ. | ٣٨ |
39 [Then] Yahweh spread a cloud to cover the Israelis; and [at night it became] a big fire [in the sky] to give them light.
| نَشَرَ سَحَابَةً فَوْقَ شَعْبِهِ، غِطَاءً لَهُمْ، وَأَرْسَلَ نَاراً تُضِيءُ لَهُمْ لَيْلاً. | ٣٩ |
40 [Later] the Israelis asked for [meat to eat], and Yahweh sent [flocks of] quail to them, and he gave them plenty of manna [food] from the sky [each morning].
| طَلَبُوا طَعَاماً فَبَعَثَ لَهُمْ طُيُورَ السَّلْوَى وَمِنْ خُبْزِ السَّمَاءِ أَشْبَعَهُمْ. | ٤٠ |
41 [One day] he caused a rock to open up and water poured out [for them to drink]; it was like a river flowing in that desert.
| فَلَقَ الصَّخْرَةَ وَفَجَّرَ مِنْهَا الْمِيَاهَ، فَجَرَتْ فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ كَأَنَّهَا نَهْرٌ. | ٤١ |
42 [He did that] because he kept thinking about the sacred promise [that he had given] to his servant, Abraham.
| لأَنَّهُ ذَكَرَ كَلِمَتَهُ الْمُقَدَّسَةَ الَّتِي وَعَدَ بِها إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَبْدَهُ. | ٤٢ |
43 So his people were joyful as he brought them out from Egypt; those people whom he had chosen were shouting joyfully as they went.
| وَهَكَذَا أَخْرَجَ شَعْبَهُ مِنْ مِصْرَ بِابْتِهَاجٍ وَمُخْتَارِيهِ بِتَرَانِيمِ الظَّفَرِ. | ٤٣ |
44 He gave to them the land that belonged to the people-groups [that lived there in Canaan], and the Israelis harvested crops that [other] people had planted.
| وَوَهَبَهُمْ أَرَاضِيَ الأُمَمِ، فَامْتَلَكُوا غَلَّاتٍ تَعِبَتْ فِيهَا شُعُوبٌ أُخْرَى. | ٤٤ |
45 [Yahweh did all these things] in order that his people would do all the things that he had commanded them to do [DOU]. Praise Yahweh!
| لِيُمَارِسُوا فَرَائِضَهُ وَيُطِيعُوا شَرَائِعَهُ. هَلِّلُويَا. | ٤٥ |
