< Psalms 132 >

1 A song of ascents. Yahweh, for David's sake call to mind all his afflictions.
تَرْنِيمَةُ الْمَصَاعِدِ اذْكُرْ يَا رَبُّ دَاوُدَ وَكُلَّ مُعَانَاتِهِ.١
2 Call to mind how he swore to Yahweh, how he vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob.
اذْكُرْ كَيْفَ أَقْسَمَ لِلرَّبِّ وَنَذَرَ لإِلَهِ يَعْقُوبَ الْقَدِيرِ:٢
3 He said, “I will not enter my house or get into my bed,
«لَنْ أَدْخُلَ بَيْتَ سُكْنَايَ، وَلَنْ أَعْلُوَ فِرَاشِي،٣
4 I will not give sleep to my eyes or rest to my eyelids
وَلَنْ أُعْطِيَ عَيْنَيَّ نَوْماً وَلَا أَجْفَانِي نُعَاساً،٤
5 until I find a place for Yahweh, a tabernacle for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
حَتَّى أَبْنِيَ مَقَاماً لِتَابُوتِ الرَّبِّ، وَمَسْكِناً لإِلَهِ يَعْقُوبَ الْقَدِيرِ».٥
6 See, we heard about it in Ephrathah; we found it in the fields of Jaar.
فِي أَفْرَاتَةَ سَمِعْنَا بِهِ، وَفِي حُقُولِ الْوَعْرِ وَجَدْنَاهُ،٦
7 We will go into God's tabernacle; we will worship at his footstool.
فَقُلْنَا: «لِنَدْخُلْ إِلَى بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ، وَلْنَسْجُدْ عِنْدَ مَوْطِئِ قَدَمَيْهِ».٧
8 Arise, Yahweh, to your resting place, you and the ark of your strength!
عُدْ إِلَى هَيْكَلِكَ يَا رَبُّ، أَنْتَ وَتَابُوتُ عِزَّتِكَ.٨
9 May your priests be clothed with integrity; may your faithful ones shout for joy.
لِيَرْتَدِ كَهَنَتُكَ البِرَّ ثَوْباً، وَلِيَهْتِفْ أَتْقِيَاؤُكَ فَرَحاً.٩
10 For your servant David's sake, do not turn away from your anointed king.
مِنْ أَجْلِ دَاوُدَ عَبْدِكَ لَا تَرْفُضْ طَلَبَ مَلِكِكَ الْمَمْسُوحِ.١٠
11 Yahweh swore a sure oath to David, a sure oath that he will not revoke: “I will place one of your descendants on your throne.
قَدْ أَقْسَمَ الرَّبُّ لِدَاوُدَ قَسَماً صَادِقاً لَا يَرْجِعُ عَنْهُ: «مِنْ ثَمَرَةِ بَطْنِكَ أُقِيمُ مَلِكاً عَلَى عَرْشِكَ.١١
12 If your sons keep my covenant and the laws that I will teach them, their children also will sit on your throne forevermore.”
إِذَا حَفِظَ بَنُوكَ عَهْدِي وَشَهَادَاتِي الَّتِي أُعَلِّمُهُمْ إِيَّاهَا، يَجْلِسُ بَنُوهُمْ أَيْضاً عَلَى عَرْشِكَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ».١٢
13 Certainly Yahweh has chosen Zion, he has desired her for his seat.
لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدِ اخْتَارَ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَرَغِبَ أَن تَكُونَ لَهُ مَسْكَناً.١٣
14 “This is my resting place forever. I will live here, for I desire her.
وَقَالَ: «هَذِهِ مَقَرُّ رَاحَتِي إِلَى الأَبَدِ، فِيهَا أَسْكُنُ لأَنِّي أَحْبَبْتُهَا.١٤
15 I will abundantly bless her with provisions. I will satisfy her poor with bread.
أُبَارِكُ غَلَّاتِهَا بَرَكَةً جَزِيلَةً، وَأُشْبِعُ مَسَاكِينَهَا خُبْزاً.١٥
16 I will clothe her priests with salvation, her faithful ones will shout aloud for joy.
أُلْبِسُ كَهَنَتَهَا ثَوْبَ الْخَلاصِ، فَيَهْتِفُ قِدِّيسُوهَا مُتَرَنِّمِينَ.١٦
17 There I will make a horn to sprout for David and set up a lamp for my anointed one.
أُقِيمُ هُنَاكَ مَلِكاً عَظِيماً مِنْ أَصْلِ دَاوُدَ، وَأُعِدُّ سِرَاجاً مُنِيراً لِمَنْ أَمْسَحُهُ.١٧
18 I will clothe his enemies with shame, but on him his crown will shine.”
أَكْسُو أَعْدَاءَهُ خِزْياً. أَمَّا هُوَ، فَعَلَى رَأْسِهِ يَتَأَلَّقُ تَاجُهُ».١٨
