Psalms 107
1 Give thanks to Yahweh, because he always does good [things for us] His faithful love [for us] lasts forever!
| خداوند را حمد گویید، زیرا او نیکوست و محبتش تا ابد باقی است. |
2 Those whom Yahweh has saved should tell others that he has rescued them from their enemies.
| کسانی که توسط خداوند نجات یافته‌اند به همه اعلام کنند که خداوند آنها را از دست دشمنانشان نجات داده است |
3 He has gathered [those of you] who were [(exiled/taken forcefully)] to many lands; [he has gathered you together from] the east and the west, from the north and from the south.
| و آنها را از سرزمینهای بیگانه، از مشرق و مغرب، شمال و جنوب، به سرزمین خودشان بازگردانیده است. |
4 Some of those [who returned from those countries] wandered in the desert; they were lost and had no homes to live in.
| برخی در صحرا آواره و سرگردان شدند و جای معینی برای سکونت نیافتند، |
5 They were hungry and thirsty, and they were very discouraged.
| گرسنه و تشنه بودند و جانشان به لب رسیده بود. |
6 When they were in trouble, they called out to Yahweh, and he rescued them from (being distressed/their difficulties).
| آنگاه در گرفتاری خود نزد خداوند فریاد برآوردند و او ایشان را از همهٔ تنگیهایشان رهانید و ایشان را از راه راست به سرزمینی هدایت کرد که بتوانند در آن زندگی کنند. |
7 He led them along a straight road [where they walked safely] to cities [in Canaan] where they could live.
8 They should praise/thank Yahweh for loving them faithfully and for the wonderful things that he does for people.
| پس باید از خداوند، به سبب محبتش و کارهای بزرگی که در حق ایشان انجام داده است، تشکر کنند. |
9 He gives thirsty people plenty [of water] to drink, and he gives hungry people plenty of good things [to eat].
| او جان تشنه و گرسنه را با نعمتهای خوب سیر می‌کند. |
10 Some of them were in very dark [HEN] (places [in Babylonia/other countries]); they were prisoners, suffering because of chains [fastened to their hands and feet].
| آنانی که از دستورهای خدای متعال سر پیچیدند و به او اهانت کردند، اسیر و زندانی شدند و مرگ بر آنها سایه افکند. |
11 They were in prison because they had (rebelled against/not obeyed) the message of God; they were there because they had despised the advice given by God, who is greater than all other gods.
12 [That is why] their bodies were worn out from hard labor; when they fell down, there was no one who would help them.
| پشت آنها در زیر بار مشقت خم شد و سرانجام افتادند و کسی نبود که ایشان را یاری کند. |
13 In their troubles, they called out to Yahweh, and he rescued them from their being distressed.
| آنگاه در گرفتاری خود نزد خداوند فریاد برآوردند و او آنها را از همه تنگیهایشان رهانید. |
14 He broke the chains that were on their hands and feet; and brought them out of those very dark [prisons].
| آنها را از مرگی که بر آنها سایه افکنده بود رهانید و زنجیرهای اسارت ایشان را پاره کرد. |
15 He broke down the [prison] gates that were made of bronze, and cut through the [prison] bars that were made of iron. [So they also] should praise/thank Yahweh for faithfully loving [them], and for [all] the wonderful things that he does for people.
| پس باید از خداوند، به سبب محبتش و کارهای بزرگی که در حق آنها انجام داده است، تشکر کنند. |
| او درهای مفرغین زندانها را می‌شکند و زنجیرهای اسارت را پاره می‌کند. |
17 Some of them foolishly rebelled [against God], so they suffered for their sins.
| افراد نادان، به سبب رفتار شرارت‌بار و آلوده به گناه خود، ضعیف و بیمار شدند، |
18 They did not want to eat any food, and they almost died.
| اشتهای خود را از دست دادند و جانشان به لب گور رسید. |
19 In their troubles, they [also] called out to Yahweh, and he rescued them from their being distressed.
| آنگاه در این گرفتاری خود، نزد خداوند فریاد برآوردند و او ایشان را از تنگیهایشان رهایی بخشید. |
20 When he commanded that they be healed, they were healed; he saved them from dying.
| او با کلام خود آنها را شفا بخشید و ایشان را از مرگ نجات داد. |
21 They [also] should praise/thank Yahweh for faithfully loving them, and for [all] the wonderful things that he does for people.
| پس باید خداوند را به سبب محبتش و کارهای بزرگی که در حق ایشان انجام داده است، سپاس گویند. |
22 They should give offerings to him to show that they are thankful, and they should sing joyfully about the miracles that he has performed.
| باید با تقدیم قربانی از او تشکر کنند و با سرودهای شاد کارهایی را که کرده است اعلام نمایند. |
23 Some of them sailed in ships; they were selling things [in ports] throughout the world.
| برخی به کشتی سوار شده، به دریا رفتند و به کار تجارت مشغول شدند. |
24 [As they were sailing], they also saw the miracles that Yahweh performed, the wonderful things that he did [when they were] on very deep seas.
| آنان قدرت خداوند را دیدند و کارهای شگرف او را در اعماق دریاها مشاهده نمودند. |
25 He commanded the winds, and they became strong and (stirred up high waves/caused waves to rise high).
| به امر او بادی شدید ایجاد شد و دریا را طوفانی ساخت، |
26 The ships [in which they were sailing] were tossed high in the air, and [then] they sank into the (troughs/low places) [between the high waves]; then the sailors were terrified.
| چنانکه کشتی‌ها دستخوش امواج گردیدند و بالا و پایین می‌رفتند. سرنشینان آنها، از ترس نیمه جان شدند |
27 They stumbled about and staggered like drunken men, and they did not know what to do.
| و مثل مستان، تلوتلو خورده، گیج و سرگردان بودند. |
28 In their troubles, they [also] called out to Yahweh, and he rescued them from their distresses.
| آنگاه در این گرفتاری خود نزد خداوند فریاد برآوردند و او ایشان را از این گرفتاری رهایی بخشید. |
29 He (calmed the storm/caused the wind to stop blowing), and he caused the waves to completely subside.
| خداوند طوفان را آرام و امواج دریا را ساکت ساخت. |
30 They were [very] glad when it became calm; and Yahweh brought them safely into a harbor.
| آنها شاد شدند زیرا از خطر رهایی یافته بودند، و سرانجام به سلامت به بندر مراد خود رسیدند. |
31 They [also] should praise/thank Yahweh for faithfully loving [them], and for [all] the wonderful things that he does for people.
| پس آنها نیز باید خداوند را به سبب محبتش و کارهای بزرگی که در حق ایشان انجام داده است، سپاس گویند. |
32 They should praise him among the [Israeli] people when they have gathered together, and they should praise him in front of the leaders [of the country].
| باید عظمت خداوند را در بین جماعت اسرائیل اعلام کنند و نزد بزرگان قوم، او را ستایش نمایند. |
33 [Sometimes] Yahweh causes rivers [to become dry], [with the result that the land] becomes a desert, and springs of water become dry land.
| خداوند رودخانه‌ها را به خشکی مبدل ساخت و چشمه‌های آب را خشک کرد. |
34 [Sometimes] he causes land that has produced lots of crops to become salty wastelands, [with the result that they do not produce crops]. He does that because the people who live there are [very] wicked.
| زمین حاصلخیز را به شوره‌زار تبدیل نمود، زیرا ساکنان آن شرور بودند. |
35 [But sometimes] he causes pools of water to appear in deserts, and he causes springs to flow in very dry ground.
| اما بار دیگر زمینهای شوره‌زار و خشک را حاصلخیز و پر از چشمه‌های آب نمود. |
36 He brings hungry [people] into that land, to live there and build cities [there].
| گرسنگان را در آن اِسکان داد تا شهرهایشان را بسازند. |
37 They plant seeds in their fields, and they plant grapevines that produce big crops [of grapes].
| آنها مزارع و تاکستانها ایجاد کردند، و محصول پربار به دست آوردند. |
38 He blesses the people, and the women give birth to many children, and they have large herds of cattle.
| خداوند آنها را برکت داده، فرزندان بسیاری به ایشان بخشید، و نگذاشت رمه‌ها و گله‌هایشان کم شوند. |
39 When the number of people becomes smaller and they have been humiliated [by their enemies] by being oppressed and caused to suffer [DOU],
| هنگامی که قوم خداوند در زیر ظلم و ستم رو به نابودی می‌رفتند، |
40 Yahweh shows contempt for the leaders who oppress them, and causes them to wander in deserts where there are no roads.
| خداوند کسانی را که بر قومش ظلم می‌کردند خوار و ذلیل ساخت و آنها را در میان ویرانه‌ها، آواره و سرگردان کرد. |
41 But he rescues poor [people] from (being in misery/suffering), and causes their families [to increase in number] like flocks of sheep.
| او قوم فقیر و درماندهٔ خود را از زیر بار سختیها رهانید و فرزندان و گله‌های ایشان را افزونی بخشید. |
42 Godly/Righteous [people will (see/hear about)] these things, and they will rejoice, and wicked people [will hear about these things, too], [but] they will have nothing to say in reply.
| نیکان این را دیده، شاد خواهند شد اما بدکاران خاموش خواهند شد. |
43 Those who are wise should think carefully about those things; they should consider [all the things] that Yahweh [has done to show that he] faithfully loves [them].
| خردمندان دربارهٔ اینها فکر کنند و رحمت و محبت خداوند را به یاد داشته باشند. |
