< Psalms 107 >

1 O give thanks to the LORD, for [he is] good; for his mercy [endureth] for ever.
ارْفَعُوا الشُّكْرَ لِلرَّبِّ لأَنَّهُ صَالِحٌ، وَرَحْمَتَهُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ تَدُومُ.١
2 Let the redeemed of the LORD say [so], whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;
لِيَقُلْ هَذَا مَفْدِيُّو الرَّبِّ، الَّذِينَ افْتَدَاهُمْ مِنْ يَدِ ظَالِمِهِمْ.٢
3 And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.
لَمَّ شَتَاتَهُمْ مِنَ الْبُلْدَانِ: مِنَ الشَّرْقِ وَالْغَرْبِ، مِنَ الشِّمَالِ وَالْجَنُوبِ.٣
4 They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.
تَاهُوا فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ، فِي صَحْرَاءَ بِلَا طَرِيقٍ، وَلَمْ يَجِدُوا مَدِينَةً يَسْكُنُونَ فِيهَا.٤
5 Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.
جَاعُوا وَعَطِشُوا حَتَّى خَارَتْ نُفُوسُهُمْ فِي دَاخِلِهِمْ.٥
6 Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, [and] he delivered them out of their distresses.
فَاسْتَغَاثُوا بِالرَّبِّ فِي ضِيقِهِمْ، فَأَنْقَذَهُمْ مِنْ مَصَائِبِهِمْ.٦
7 And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.
وَهَدَاهُمْ طَرِيقاً مُسْتَقِيماً لِيَتَوَجَّهُوا إِلَى مَدِينَةٍ لِلسَّكَنِ.٧
8 Oh that [men] would praise the LORD [for] his goodness, and [for] his wonderful works to the children of men!
فَلْيَرْفَعُوا الشُّكْرَ لِلرَّبِّ عَلَى رَحْمَتِهِ وَعَلَى عَجَائِبِهِ لِبَنِي آدَمَ.٨
9 For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.
لأَنَّهُ أَشْبَعَ النَّفْسَ الْمُتَلَهِّفَةَ وَمَلأَ النَّفْسَ الْجَائِعَةَ خَيْراً.٩
10 Such as sit in darkness and in the shades of death, [being] bound in affliction and iron;
كَانُوا جَالِسِينَ كَالأَسْرَى فِي الظَّلامِ وَظِلالِ الْمَوْتِ، مُوْثَقِينَ بِالذُّلِّ وَالْحَدِيدِ،١٠
11 Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the Most High:
لأَنَّهُمْ تَمَرَّدُوا عَلَى كَلامِ اللهِ، وَاسْتَهَانُوا بِمَشُورَةِ الْعَلِيِّ.١١
12 Therefore he brought down their heart with labor; they fell down, and [there was] none to help.
فَأَذَلَّ قُلُوبَهُمْ بِالْجَهْدِ الْمُضْنِي. تَعَثَّرُوا وَلَمْ يَكُنْ مِنْ مُعِينٍ.١٢
13 Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, [and] he saved them out of their distresses.
ثُمَّ اسْتَغَاثُوا بِالرَّبِّ فِي ضِيقِهِمْ فَأَنْقَذَهُمْ مِنْ مَصَائِبِهِمْ.١٣
14 He brought them out of darkness and the shades of death, and broke their bands asunder.
أَخْرَجَهُمْ مِنَ الظَّلامِ وَظِلالِ الْمَوْتِ وَحَطَّمَ قُيُودَهُمْ.١٤
15 Oh that [men] would praise the LORD [for] his goodness, and [for] his wonderful works to the children of men!
فَلْيَرْفَعُوا الشُّكْرَ لِلرَّبِّ عَلَى رَحْمَتِهِ، وَعَلَى عَجَائِبِهِ لِبَنِي آدَمَ.١٥
16 For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron asunder.
لأَنَّهُ كَسَّرَ أَبْوَابَ النُّحَاسِ، وَقَطَّعَ عَوَارِضَ الْحَدِيدِ.١٦
17 Fools, because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.
سَفِهُوا فِي جَهْلِهِمْ وَسَقِمُوا مِنْ جَرَّاءِ آثَامِهِمْ.١٧
18 Their soul abhorreth all manner of food; and they draw near to the gates of death.
عَافَتْ أَنْفُسُهُمْ كُلَّ طَعَامٍ، فَصَارُوا عَلَى شَفَا الْمَوْتِ.١٨
19 Then they cry to the LORD in their trouble, he saveth them out of their distresses.
ثُمَّ اسْتَغَاثُوا بِالرَّبِّ فِي ضِيقِهِمْ، فَأَنْقَذَهُمْ مِنْ مَصَائِبِهِمْ.١٩
20 He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered [them] from their destructions.
أَصْدَرَ أَمْرَهُ فَشَفَاهُمْ، وَخَلَّصَهُمْ مِنْ مَهَالِكِهِمْ.٢٠
21 Oh that [men] would praise the LORD [for] his goodness, and [for] his wonderful works to the children of men!
فَلْيَرْفَعُوا الشُّكْرَ لِلرَّبِّ عَلَى رَحْمَتِهِ، وَعَلَى عَجَائِبِهِ لِبَنِي آدَمَ.٢١
22 And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing.
وَلْيُقَرِّبُوا لَهُ ذَبَائِحَ الشُّكْرِ، وَيُحَدِّثُوا بِأَعْمَالِهِ بِتَرَانِيمِ الْفَرَحِ.٢٢
23 They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business on great waters;
رَكِبَ بَعْضُهُمُ الْبِحَارَ فِي السُّفُنِ التِّجَارِيَّةِ، لِيَكْسَبُوا رِزْقَهُمْ،٢٣
24 These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep.
وَرَأَوْا أَعْمَالَ الرَّبِّ وَعَجَائِبَهُ فِي عُمْقِ الْمِيَاهِ.٢٤
25 For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up its waves.
فَإِنَّهُ بِأَمْرِهِ أَثَارَ رِيحاً عَاصِفَةً فَأَهَاجَتْ أَمْوَاجَ الْبَحْرِ٢٥
26 They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.
فَارْتَفَعَتِ السُّفُنُ إِلَى الأَعَالِي، ثُمَّ هَبَطَتْ إِلَى الأَعْمَاقِ، حَتَّى ذَابَتْ نُفُوسُهُمْ مِنَ الْفَزَعِ.٢٦
27 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wit's end.
تَمَايَلُوا وَتَرَنَّحُوا مِثْلَ السَّكْرَانِ، وَأَعْيَتْهُمُ الْحِيلَةُ.٢٧
28 Then they cry to the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses.
ثُمَّ اسْتَغَاثُوا بِالرَّبِّ فِي ضِيقِهِمْ، فَأَنْقَذَهُمْ مِنْ مَصَائِبِهِمْ.٢٨
29 He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves [of the sea] are still.
هَدَّأَ الْعَاصِفَةَ الشَّدِيدَةَ، وَسَكَّنَ الأَمْوَاجَ.٢٩
30 Then are they glad because they are quiet; so he bringeth them to their desired haven.
فَفَرِحُوا بِهُدُوئِهَا، ثُمَّ اقْتَادَهُمْ إِلَى الْمَرْفَأ الْمَنْشُودِ.٣٠
31 Oh that [men] would praise the LORD [for] his goodness, and [for] his wonderful works to the children of men!
فَلْيَرْفَعُوا الشُّكْرَ عَلَى رَحْمَتِهِ، وَعَلَى عَجَائِبِهِ لِبَنِي آدَمَ.٣١
32 Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.
وَلْيُعَظِّمُوهُ فِي مَحْفَلِ الشَّعْبِ، وَلْيُسَبِّحُوهُ فِي اجْتِمَاعِ الشُّيُوخِ.٣٢
33 He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the water-springs into dry ground;
إِنَّهُ يُحَوِّلُ الأَنْهَارَ إِلَى قِفَارٍ، وَيَنَابِيعَ الْمَاءِ إِلَى أَرْضٍ عَطْشَى.٣٣
34 A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell in it.
يَجْعَلُ الْحُقُولَ الْخَصِيبَةَ أَرْضاً مَلِحَةً جَرْدَاءَ مِنْ جَرَّاءِ شَرِّ سُكَّانِهَا.٣٤
35 He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into water-springs.
يُحَوِّلُ الْبَرِّيَّةَ إِلَى وَاحَةٍ، وَالأَرْضَ الْقَاحِلَةَ يَنَابِيعَ مِيَاهٍ.٣٥
36 And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation;
يُسْكِنُ هُنَاكَ الْجِيَاعَ فَيُنْشِئُونَ مَدِينَةً آهِلَةً.٣٦
37 And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase.
وَيَزْرَعُونَ حُقُولاً وَيَغْرِسُونَ كُرُوماً تُنْتِجُ لَهُمْ غِلَالاً وَفِيرَةً.٣٧
38 He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.
وَيُبَارِكُهُمْ أَيْضاً فَيَتَكَاثَرُونَ جِدّاً، وَلَا يَدَعُ مَوَاشِيَهُمْ تَتَنَاقَصُ.٣٨
39 Again, they are diminished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.
عِنْدَمَا يَقِلُّ الشَّعْبُ وَيَذِلُّ بِفِعْلِ الضِّيقِ وَالْبَلايَا وَالأَحْزَانِ،٣٩
40 He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, [where there is] no way.
يَصُبُّ اللهُ الْهَوَانَ عَلَى الرُّؤَسَاءِ، وَيُضِلُّهُمْ فِي أَرْضِ تِيهٍ لَيْسَ فِيهَا طَرِيقٌ.٤٠
41 Yet he setteth the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him families like a flock.
لَكِنَّهُ يُنْقِذُ الْمُحْتَاجِينَ مِنَ الْبُؤْسِ، وَيُكَثِّرُ عَشَائِرَهُمْ مِثْلَ قُطْعَانِ الْغَنَمِ.٤١
42 The righteous shall see [it], and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.
يَرَى الْمُسْتَقِيمُونَ هَذَا وَيَفْرَحُونَ، أَمَّا الأَثَمَةُ فَيَخْرَسُونَ.٤٢
43 Whoever [is] wise, and will observe these [things], even they shall understand the loving-kindness of the LORD.
فَلْيَتَأَمَّلْ كُلُّ حَكِيمٍ فِي هَذِهِ الأُمُورِ، وَيُمْعِنِ النَّظَرَ فِي مَرَاحِمِ الرَّبِّ.٤٣
