< Psalms 78 >

1 The lernyng of Asaph. Mi puple, perseyue ye my lawe; bowe youre eere in to the wordis of my mouth.
مَزْمُورٌ تَعْلِيمِيٌّ لآسَافَ أَصْغِ يَا شَعْبِي إِلَى شَرِيعَتِي، أَرْهِفُوا آذَانَكُمْ إِلَى أَقْوَالِ فَمِي.١
2 I schal opene my mouth in parablis; Y schal speke perfite resouns fro the bigynnyng.
أَفْتَحُ فَمِي بِمَثَلٍ وَأَنْطِقُ بِأَلْغَازٍ قَدِيمَةٍ جِدّاً،٢
3 Hou grete thingis han we herd, aud we han knowe tho; and oure fadris. telden to vs.
سَمِعْنَاهَا وَعَرَفْنَاهَا وَحَدَّثَنَا بِها آبَاؤُنَا.٣
4 Tho ben not hid fro the sones of hem; in anothir generacioun. And thei telden the heriyngis of the Lord, and the vertues of hym; and hise merueilis, whyche he dide.
لَا نَكْتُمُهَا عَنْ أَبْنَائِنَا بَلْ نُخْبِرُ الْجِيلَ الْقَادِمَ عَنْ قُوَّةِ الرَّبِّ وَعَجَائِبِهِ الَّتِي صَنَعَ.٤
5 And he reiside witnessyng in Jacob; and he settide lawe in Israel. Hou grete thingis comaundide he to oure fadris, to make tho knowun to her sones;
أَعْطَى شَرَائِعَ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَأَوَامِرَ لِذُرِّيَّةِ يَعْقُوبَ، أَوْصَى فِيهَا آبَاءَنَا أَنْ يُعَرِّفُوا بِها أَبْنَاءَهُمْ.٥
6 that another generacioun knowe. Sones, that schulen be born, and schulen rise vp; schulen telle out to her sones.
لِكَيْ يَعْرِفَهَا الْجِيلُ الْقَادِمُ، الْبَنُونَ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يُوْلَدُوا بَعْدُ، فَيُعَلِّمُوهَا أَيْضاً لأَبْنَائِهِمْ،٦
7 That thei sette her hope in God, and foryete not the werkis of God; and that thei seke hise comaundementis.
فَيَضَعُوا عَلَى اللهِ اتِّكَالَهُمْ وَلَا يَنْسَوْا أَعْمَالَهُ، بَلْ يَحْفَظُوا وَصَايَاهُ،٧
8 Lest thei be maad a schrewid generacioun; and terrynge to wraththe, as the fadris of hem. A generacioun that dresside not his herte; and his spirit was not bileued with God.
وَلَا يَكُونُوا مِثْلَ آبَائِهِمْ، جِيلاً عَنِيداً مُتَمَرِّداً، جِيلاً لَمْ يُثَبِّتْ قَلْبَهُ وَلَا كَانَتْ رُوحُهُ أَمِينَةً لِلهِ.٨
9 The sones of Effraym, bendinge a bouwe and sendynge arowis; weren turned in the dai of batel.
رُمَاةُ الْقَوْسِ، بَنُو أَفْرَايِمَ تَقَهْقَرُوا فِي يَوْمِ الْمَعْرَكَةِ.٩
10 Thei kepten not the testament of God; and thei nolden go in his lawe.
لأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يُرَاعُوا عَهْدَ اللهِ، وَرَفَضُوا السُّلُوكَ فِي شَرِيعَتِهِ.١٠
11 And thei foryaten hise benefices; and hise merueils, whiche he schewide to hem.
نَسُوا أَفْعَالَهُ وَعَجَائِبَهُ الَّتِي أَظْهَرَهَا لَهُمُ،١١
12 He dide merueils bifore the fadris of hem in the loond of Egipt; in the feeld of Taphneos.
الْعَجَائِبَ الَّتِي رَآهَا آبَاؤُهُمْ فِي سَهْلِ صُوعَنَ فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ.١٢
13 He brak the see, and ledde hem thorou; and he ordeynede the watris as in a bouge.
شَقَّ الْبَحْرَ وَأَجَازَهُمْ، وَجَعَلَ الْمِيَاهَ تَقِفُ كَجِدَارٍ.١٣
14 And he ledde hem forth in a cloude of the dai; and al niyt in the liytnyng of fier.
أَرْشَدَهُمْ بِالسَّحَابِ نَهَاراً وَبِنُورِ نَارٍ اللَّيْلَ كُلَّهُ.١٤
15 He brak a stoon in deseert; and he yaf watir to hem as in a myche depthe.
شَقَّ صُخُوراً فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ وَسَقَاهُمْ مَاءً غَزِيراً كَأَنَّهُ مِنَ اللُّجَجِ.١٥
16 And he ledde watir out of the stoon; and he ledde forth watris as floodis.
أَخْرَجَ مِنَ الصَّخْرَةِ سَوَاقِيَ، أَجْرَى مِيَاهَهَا كَأَنْهَارٍ.١٦
17 And thei `leiden to yit to do synne ayens hym; thei excitiden hiye God in to ire, in a place with out water.
لَكِنَّهُمْ أَوْغَلُوا فِي غَيِّهِمْ مُسْتَثِيرِينَ غَضَبَ الْعَلِيِّ فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ.١٧
18 And thei temptiden God in her hertis; that thei axiden meetis to her lyues.
وَجَرَّبُوا اللهَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ، طَالِبِينَ طَعَاماً اشْتَهَتْهُ نُفُوسُهُمْ١٨
19 And thei spaken yuel of God; thei seiden, Whether God may make redi a bord in desert?
وَتَذَمَّرُوا عَلَى اللهِ قَائِلِينَ: أَيَقْدِرُ اللهُ أَنْ يَبْسُطَ لَنَا مَائِدَةً فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ؟١٩
20 For he smoot a stoon, and watris flowiden; and streemys yeden out in aboundaunce. Whether also he may yyue breed; ether make redi a bord to his puple?
هَا هُوَ قَدْ ضَرَبَ الصَّخْرَةَ فَتَفَجَّرَتْ مِنْهَا الْمِيَاهُ وَفَاضَتِ الأَنْهَارُ، فَهَلْ يَقْدِرُ أَيْضاً أَنْ يُقَدِّمَ الْخُبْزَ أَوْ يُوَفِّرَ اللَّحْمَ لِشَعْبِهِ؟٢٠
21 Therfor the Lord herde, and delaiede; and fier was kindelid in Jacob, and the ire of God stiede on Israel.
فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ اللهُ ذَلِكَ ثَارَ غَضَبُهُ، وَانْدَلَعَتِ النَّارُ فِي يَعْقُوبَ، وَاشْتَدَّ السَّخَطُ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ،٢١
22 For thei bileueden not in God; nether hopiden in his heelthe.
لأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يُؤْمِنُوا بِاللهِ وَلَمْ يَتَّكِلُوا عَلَى خَلاصِهِ.٢٢
23 And he comaundide to the cloudis aboue; and he openyde the yatis of heuene.
وَمَعَ ذَلِكَ أَمَرَ السَّحَابَ وَفَتَحَ أَبْوَابَ السَّمَاوَاتِ،٢٣
24 And he reynede to hem manna for to eete; and he yaf to hem breed of heuene.
فَأَمْطَرَ عَلَيْهِمِ الْمَنَّ لِيَأْكُلُوا، وَأَنْزَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ حِنْطَةَ السَّمَاوَاتِ.٢٤
25 Man eet the breed of aungels; he sent to hem meetis in aboundance.
فَأَكَلَ الإِنْسَانُ خُبْزَ الْمَلائِكَةِ، إِذْ أَرْسَلَ لَهُمْ زَاداً حَتَّى شَبِعُوا.٢٥
26 He turnede ouere the south wynde fro heuene; and he brouyte in bi his vertu the weste wynde.
أَثَارَ رِيحاً شَرْقِيَّةً فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ، وَبِقُوَّتِهِ سَاقَ رِيحاً جَنُوبِيَّةً.٢٦
27 And he reynede fleischis as dust on hem; and `he reinede volatils fethered, as the grauel of the see.
فَأَمْطَرَ عَلَيْهِمْ لَحْماً كَثِيراً كَالتُّرَابِ، وَطُيُوراً كَرَمْلِ الْبَحْرِ،٢٧
28 And tho felden doun in the myddis of her castels; aboute the tabernaclis of hem.
جَعَلَهَا تَتَسَاقَطُ فِي وَسَطِ خِيَامِهِمْ حَوْلَ مَسَاكِنِهِمْ.٢٨
29 And thei eeten, and weren fillid greetli, and he brouyte her desire to hem;
فَأَكَلُوا حَتَّى شَبِعُوا جِدّاً، وَأَعْطَاهُمْ مُشْتَهَاهُمْ.٢٩
30 thei weren not defraudid of her desier. Yit her metis weren in her mouth;
وَقَبْلَ أَنْ يَفْرُغُوا مِنَ الطَّعَامِ الَّذِي اشْتَهَوْهُ، وَهُوَ بَعْدُ فِي أَفْوَاهِهِمْ،٣٠
31 and the ire of God stiede on hem. And he killide the fatte men of hem; and he lettide the chosene men of Israel.
ثَارَ عَلَيْهِمْ غَضَبُ اللهِ، فَقَتَلَ أَسْمَنَهُمْ وَصَرَعَ نُخْبَتَهُمْ.٣١
32 In alle these thingis thei synneden yit; and bileuede not in the merueils of God.
وَمَعَ هَذَا ظَلُّوا يُخْطِئُونَ، وَبِالرَّغْمِ مِن عَجَائِبِهِ لَمْ يُؤْمِنُوا،٣٢
33 And the daies of hem failiden in vanytee; and the yeeris of hem faileden with haste.
فَأَفْنَى أَيَّامَهُمْ بِالْبَاطِلِ وَسِنِيهِمْ فِي الرُّعْبِ.٣٣
34 Whanne he killide hem, thei souyten hym; and turneden ayen, and eerli thei camen to hym.
وَعِنْدَمَا قَتَلَ بَعْضَهُمْ، رَجَعُوا بِحَرَارَةٍ تَائِبِينَ يَلْتَمِسُونَ اللهَ.٣٤
35 And thei bithouyten, that God is the helper of hem; and `the hiy God is the ayenbier of hem.
تَذَكَّرُوا أَنَّ اللهَ صَخْرَتُهُمْ وَالإِلَهَ الْعَلِيَّ فَادِيهِمْ.٣٥
36 And thei loueden hym in her mouth; and with her tunge thei lieden to hym.
وَلَكِنَّهُمْ خَادَعُوهُ بِأَفْوَاهِهِمْ، وَنَافَقُوهُ بِأَلْسِنَتِهِمْ.٣٦
37 Forsothe the herte of hem was not riytful with hym; nethir thei weren had feithful in his testament.
لَمْ يَكُونُوا مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ، وَلَا كَانُوا أَوْفِيَاءَ لِعَهْدِهِ.٣٧
38 But he is merciful, and he schal be maad merciful to the synnes of hem; and he schal not destrie hem. And he dide greetli, to turne awei his yre; and he kyndelide not al his ire.
لَكِنَّهُ كَانَ رَحِيماً، فَعَفَا عَنِ الإِثْمِ وَلَمْ يُهْلِكْهُمْ. وَكَثِيراً مَا كَبَحَ غَضَبَهُ عَنْهُمْ وَلَمْ يُضْرِمْ كُلَّ سَخَطِهِ.٣٨
39 And he bithouyte, that thei ben fleische; a spirit goynge, and not turnynge ayen.
ذَكَرَ أَنَّهُمْ بَشَرٌ كَالرِّيحِ الَّتِي تَذْهَبُ وَلَا تَعُودُ.٣٩
40 Hou oft maden thei hym wrooth in desert; thei stireden hym in to ire in a place with out watir.
كَمْ تَمَرَّدُوا عَلَيْهِ فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ وَأَحْزَنُوهُ فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ.٤٠
41 And thei weren turned, and temptiden God; and thei wraththiden the hooli of Israel.
ثُمَّ عَادُوا يُجَرِّبُونَ اللهَ وَيُغِيظُونَ قُدُّوسَ إِسْرَائِيلَ.٤١
42 Thei bithouyten not on his hond; in the dai in the which he ayen bouyte hem fro the hond of the trobler.
لَمْ يَذْكُرُوا قُوَّتَهُ يَوْمَ أَنْقَذَهُمْ مِنْ طَالِبِيهِمْ،٤٢
43 As he settide hise signes in Egipt; and hise grete wondris in the feeld of Taphneos.
كَيْفَ أَجْرَى آيَاتِهِ فِي مِصْرَ وَعَجَائِبَهُ فِي سُهُولِ صُوعَنَ.٤٣
44 And he turnede the flodis of hem and the reynes of hem in to blood; that thei schulden not drynke.
إِذْ حَوَّلَ أَنْهَارَهُمْ وَسَوَاقِيَهُمْ دَماً حَتَّى لَا يَشْرَبُوا.٤٤
45 He sente a fleisch flie in to hem, and it eet hem; and he sente a paddok, and it loste hem.
أَرْسَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ بَعُوضاً فَأَكَلَهُمْ، وَضَفَادِعَ فَأَهْلَكَتْهُمْ.٤٥
46 And he yaf the fruytis of hem to rust; and he yaf the trauels of hem to locustis.
أَسْلَمَ غَلَّتَهُمْ لِلْجَنَادِبِ وَمَحَاصِيلَهُمْ لِلْجَرَادِ لِيُدَمِّرَهَا.٤٦
47 And he killide the vynes of hem bi hail; and the moore trees of hem bi a frost.
أَتْلَفَ كُرُومَهُمْ بِالْبَرَدِ وَجُمَّيْزَهُمْ بِالصَّقِيعِ،٤٧
48 And he bitook the beestis of hem to hail; and the possessioun of hem to fier.
وَدَفَعَ بَهَائِمَهُمْ إِلَى الْبَرَدِ، وَمَوَاشِيَهُمْ إِلَى نَارِ الْبُرُوقِ.٤٨
49 He sente in to hem the ire of his indignacioun; indignacioun, and ire, and tribulacioun, sendingis in bi iuel aungels.
أَرْسَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ حِمَمَ غَضَبِهِ، وَسَخَطِهِ وَغَيْظِهِ، وَأَطْلَقَ عَلَيْهِمْ حَمْلَةً مِنْ مَلائِكَةِ الْهَلاكِ.٤٩
50 He made weie to the path of his ire, and he sparide not fro the deth of her lyues; and he closide togidere in deth the beestis of hem.
أَفْلَتَ عِنَانَ غَضَبِهِ، وَلَمْ يَحْفَظْهُمْ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ، بَلْ أَهْلَكَهُمْ بِالْوَبَإِ،٥٠
51 And he smoot al the first gendrid thing in the lond of Egipt; the first fruytis of alle the trauel of hem in the tabernaclis of Cham.
وَأَبَادَ كُلَّ أَبْكَارِ مِصْرَ، طَلائِعَ ثِمَارِ الرُّجُولَةِ فِي خِيَامِ حَامٍ.٥١
52 And he took awei his puple as scheep; and he ledde hem forth as a flok in desert.
ثُمَّ سَاقَ شَعْبَهُ كَالْغَنَمِ وَاقْتَادَهُمْ مِثْلَ الْقَطِيعِ فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ.٥٢
53 And he ledde hem forth in hope, and thei dredden not; and the see hilide the enemyes of hem.
هَدَاهُمْ آمِنِينَ فَلَمْ يَفْزَعُوا. أَمَّا أَعْدَاؤُهُمْ فَطَغَى الْبَحْرُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَغَمَرَهُمْ.٥٣
54 And he brouyte hem in to the hil of his halewyng; in to the hil which his riythond gat. And he castide out hethene men fro the face of hem; and bi lot he departide to hem the lond in a cord of delyng.
وَأَدْخَلَهُمْ إِلَى تُخُومِ أَرْضِهِ الْمُقَدَّسَةِ، إِلَى الْجَبَلِ الَّذِي امْتَلَكَتْهُ يَمِينُهُ.٥٤
55 And he made the lynagis of Israel to dwelle in the tabernaclis of hem.
ثُمَّ طَرَدَ الأُمَمَ مِنْ أَمَامِهِمْ وَقَسَمَ أَرْضَهُمْ بِالْحَبْلِ لِيَجْعَلَهَا مِيرَاثاً لِشَعْبِهِ، وَأَسْكَنَ فِي خِيَامِهِمْ أَسْبَاطَ إِسْرَائِيلَ.٥٥
56 And thei temptiden, and wraththiden heiy God; and thei kepten not hise witnessyngis.
غَيْرَ أَنَّهُمْ جَرَّبُوا اللهَ الْعَلِيَّ وَتَمَرَّدُوا عَلَيْهِ، وَلَمْ يُرَاعُوا شَهَادَاتِهِ.٥٦
57 And thei turneden awei hem silf, and thei kepten not couenaunt; as her fadris weren turned in to a schrewid bouwe.
بَلِ ارْتَدُّوا عَنْهُ وَغَدَرُوا كَمَا فَعَلَ آبَاؤُهُمْ، وَانْحَرَفُوا كَقَوْسٍ مُخْطِئَةٍ.٥٧
58 Thei stiriden him in to ire in her litle hillis; and thei terriden hym to indignacioun of her grauen ymagis.
وَأَغَاظُوهُ بِمَعَابِدِ مُرْتَفَعَاتِهِمْ وَأَثَارُوا غَيْرَتَهُ بِأَصْنَامِهِمْ.٥٨
59 God herde, and forsook; and brouyte to nouyt Israel greetli.
سَمِعَ اللهُ فَغَضِبَ، وَعَافَتْ نَفْسُهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ جِدّاً.٥٩
60 And he puttide awei the tabernacle of Sylo; his tabernacle where he dwellide among men.
هَجَرَ مَسْكَنَهُ فِي شِيلُوهَ، تِلْكَ الْخَيْمَةَ الَّتِي نَصَبَهَا مَسْكَناً لَهُ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ.٦٠
61 And he bitook the vertu of hem in to caitiftee; and the fairnesse of hem in to the hondis of the enemye.
وَأَسْلَمَ تَابُوتَ عَهْدِ عِزَّتِهِ إِلَى السَّبْيِ وَجَلالَهُ إِلَى يَدِ الْعَدُوِّ.٦١
62 And he closide togidere his puple in swerd; and he dispiside his erytage.
وَدَفَعَ شَعْبَهُ إِلَى السَّيْفِ وَصَبَّ نِقْمَتَهُ عَلَى مِيْرَاثِهِ.٦٢
63 Fier eet the yonge men of hem; and the virgyns of hem weren not biweilid.
فَالْتَهَمَتِ النَّارُ فِتْيَانَهُمْ، وَلَمْ تُنْشَدْ لِعَذَارَاهُمْ أُغْنِيَةُ زَوَاجٍ.٦٣
64 The prestis of hem fellen doun bi swerd; and the widewis of hem weren not biwept.
سَقَطَ كَهَنَتُهُمْ صَرْعَى السَّيْفِ، وَأَرَامِلُهُمْ لَمْ يَنْدُبْنَ عَلَيْهِمْ.٦٤
65 And the Lord was reisid, as slepynge; as miyti greetli fillid of wiyn.
ثُمَّ اسْتَيْقَظَ الرَّبُّ كَمَا يَسْتَيْقِظُ النَّائِمُ، مِثْلَ جَبَّارٍ يَصْرُخُ عَالِياً مِنَ الْخَمْرِ.٦٥
66 And he smoot hise enemyes on the hynderere partis; he yaf to hem euerlastyng schenschipe.
فَضَرَبَ أَعْدَاءَهُ وَقَهَرَهُمْ، وَجَعَلَهُمْ عَاراً مَدَى الدَّهْرِ.٦٦
67 And he puttide awei the tabernacle of Joseph; and he chees not the lynage of Effraym.
رَفَضَ السُّكْنَى فِي خَيْمَةِ يُوسُفَ وَلَمْ يَخْتَرْ سِبْطَ أَفْرَايِمَ.٦٧
68 But he chees the lynage of Juda; he chees the hil of Syon, which he louede.
بَلِ اصْطَفَى سِبْطَ يَهُوذَا، جَبَلَ صِهْيَوْنَ الَّذِي أَحَبَّهُ.٦٨
69 And he as an vnicorn bildide his hooli place; in the lond, which he foundide in to worldis.
فَشَيَّدَ هَيْكَلَهُ، (كَمَسْكِنِهِ) فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ العُلَى. جَعَلَهُ (ثَابِتاً) مِثْلَ الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أَسَّسَهَا إِلَى الأَبَدِ.٦٩
70 And he chees Dauid his seruaunt, and took hym vp fro the flockis of scheep; he took hym fro bihynde scheep with lambren.
وَاصْطَفَى دَاوُدَ عَبْدَهُ، وَأَخَذَهُ مِنْ بَيْنِ حَظَائِرِ الْغَنَمِ.٧٠
71 To feed Jacob his seruaunt; and Israel his eritage.
مِنْ خَلْفِ النِّعَاجِ الْمُرْضِعَةِ أَتَى بِهِ، لِيَرْعَى يَعْقُوبَ شَعْبَهُ وَإِسْرَائِيلَ مِيرَاثَهُ.٧١
72 And he fedde hem in the innocens of his herte; and he ledde hem forth in the vndurstondyngis of his hondis.
فَرَعَاهُمْ بِقَلْبٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ، وَهَدَاهُمْ بِيَدَيْهِ الْمَاهِرَتَيْنِ.٧٢
