2 Samuel 22

1 And David speaketh to Jehovah the words of this song in the day Jehovah hath delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul,

١ وَكَلَّمَ دَاوُدُ ٱلرَّبَّ بِكَلَامِ هَذَا ٱلنَّشِيدِ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلَّذِي أَنْقَذَهُ فِيهِ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ أَيْدِي كُلِّ أَعْدَائِهِ وَمِنْ يَدِ شَاوُلَ،

2 and he saith: 'Jehovah [is] my rock, And my bulwark, and a deliverer to me,

٢ فَقَالَ: «اَلرَّبُّ صَخْرَتِي وَحِصْنِي وَمُنْقِذِي،

3 My God [is] my rock — I take refuge in Him; My shield, and the horn of my salvation, My high tower, and my refuge! My Saviour, from violence Thou savest me!

٣ إِلَهُ صَخْرَتِي بِهِ أَحْتَمِي. تُرْسِي وَقَرْنُ خَلَاصِي. مَلْجَإِي وَمَنَاصِي. مُخَلِّصِي، مِنَ ٱلظُّلْمِ تُخَلِّصُنِي.

4 The Praised One, I call Jehovah: And from mine enemies I am saved.

٤ أَدْعُو ٱلرَّبَّ ٱلْحَمِيدَ فَأَتَخَلَّصُ مِنْ أَعْدَائِي.

5 When the breakers of death compassed me, The streams of the worthless terrify me,

٥ لِأَنَّ أَمْوَاجَ ٱلْمَوْتِ ٱكْتَنَفَتْنِي. سُيُولُ ٱلْهَلَاكِ أَفْزَعَتْنِي.

6 The cords of Sheol have surrounded me, Before me have been the snares of death. (Sheol h7585)

٦ حِبَالُ ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ أَحَاطَتْ بِي. شُرُكُ ٱلْمَوْتِ أَصَابَتْنِي. (Sheol h7585)

7 In mine adversity I call Jehovah, And unto my God I call, And He heareth from His temple my voice, And my cry [is] in His ears,

٧ فِي ضِيقِي دَعَوْتُ ٱلرَّبَّ، وَإِلَى إِلَهِي صَرَخْتُ، فَسَمِعَ مِنْ هَيْكَلِهِ صَوْتِي، وَصُرَاخِي دَخَلَ أُذُنَيْهِ.

8 And shake and tremble doth the earth, Foundations of the heavens are troubled, And are shaken, for He hath wrath!

٨ فَٱرْتَجَّتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَٱرْتَعَشَتْ. أُسُسُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ ٱرْتَعَدَتْ وَٱرْتَجَّتْ، لِأَنَّهُ غَضِبَ.

9 Gone up hath smoke by His nostrils. And fire from His mouth devoureth, Brands have been kindled by it.

٩ صَعِدَ دُخَانٌ مِنْ أَنْفِهِ، وَنَارٌ مِنْ فَمِهِ أَكَلَتْ. جَمْرٌ ٱشْتَعَلَتْ مِنْهُ.

10 And He inclineth heaven, and cometh down, And thick darkness [is] under His feet.

١٠ طَأْطَأَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَنَزَلَ، وَضَبَابٌ تَحْتَ رِجْلَيْهِ.

11 And He rideth on a cherub, and doth fly, And is seen on the wings of the wind.

١١ رَكِبَ عَلَى كَرُوبٍ، وَطَارَ وَرُئِيَ عَلَى أَجْنِحَةِ ٱلرِّيحِ.

12 And He setteth darkness Round about Him — tabernacles, Darkness of waters — thick clouds of the skies.

١٢ جَعَلَ ٱلظُّلْمَةَ حَوْلَهُ مِظَلَّاتٍ، مِيَاهًا حَاشِكَةً وَظَلَامَ ٱلْغَمَامِ.

13 From the brightness before Him Were brands of fire kindled!

١٣ مِنَ ٱلشُّعَاعِ قُدَّامَهُ ٱشْتَعَلَتْ جَمْرُ نَارٍ.

14 Thunder from the heavens doth Jehovah, And the Most High giveth forth His voice.

١٤ أَرْعَدَ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ، وَٱلْعَلِيُّ أَعْطَى صَوْتَهُ.

15 And He sendeth forth arrows, And scattereth them; Lightning, and troubleth them;

١٥ أَرْسَلَ سِهَامًا فَشَتَّتَهُمْ، بَرْقًا فَأَزْعَجَهُمْ.

16 And seen are the streams of the sea, Revealed are foundations of the world, By the rebuke of Jehovah, From the breath of the spirit of His anger.

١٦ فَظَهَرَتْ أَعْمَاقُ ٱلْبَحْرِ، وَٱنْكَشَفَتْ أُسُسُ ٱلْمَسْكُونَةِ مِنْ زَجْرِ ٱلرَّبِّ، مِنْ نَسْمَةِ رِيحِ أَنْفِهِ.

17 He sendeth from above — He taketh me, He draweth me out of many waters.

١٧ أَرْسَلَ مِنَ ٱلْعُلَى فَأَخَذَنِي، نَشَلَنِي مِنْ مِيَاهٍ كَثِيرَةٍ.

18 He delivereth me from my strong enemy, From those hating me, For they were stronger than I.

١٨ أَنْقَذَنِي مِنْ عَدُوِّيَ ٱلْقَوِيِّ، مِنْ مُبْغِضِيَّ لِأَنَّهُمْ أَقْوَى مِنِّي.

19 They are before me in a day of my calamity, And Jehovah is my support,

١٩ أَصَابُونِي فِي يَوْمِ بَلِيَّتِي، وَكَانَ ٱلرَّبُّ سَنَدِي.

20 And He bringeth me out to a large place, He draweth me out for He delighted in me.

٢٠ أَخْرَجَنِي إِلَى ٱلرَّحْبِ. خَلَّصَنِي لِأَنَّهُ سُرَّ بِي.

21 Jehovah recompenseth me, According to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands, He doth return to me.

٢١ يُكَافِئُنِي ٱلرَّبُّ حَسَبَ بِرِّي. حَسَبَ طَهَارَةِ يَدَيَّ يَرُدُّ عَلَيَّ.

22 For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, And have not done wickedly against my God.

٢٢ لِأَنِّي حَفِظْتُ طُرُقَ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَلَمْ أَعْصِ إِلَهِي.

23 For all His judgments [are] before me, As to His statutes, I turn not from them.

٢٣ لِأَنَّ جَمِيعَ أَحْكَامِهِ أَمَامِي، وَفَرَائِضُهُ لَا أَحِيدُ عَنْهَا.

24 And I am perfect before Him, And I keep myself from mine iniquity.

٢٤ وَأَكُونُ كَامِلًا لَدَيْهِ، وَأَتَحَفَّظُ مِنْ إِثْمِي.

25 And Jehovah returneth to me, According to my righteousness, According to my cleanness before His eyes.

٢٥ فَيَرُدُّ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَيَّ كَبِرِّي، وَكَطَهَارَتِي أَمَامَ عَيْنَيْهِ.

26 With the kind Thou shewest Thyself kind, With the perfect man Thou shewest Thyself perfect,

٢٦ «مَعَ ٱلرَّحِيمِ تَكُونُ رَحِيمًا. مَعَ ٱلرَّجُلِ ٱلْكَامِلِ تَكُونُ كَامِلًا.

27 With the pure Thou shewest Thyself pure, And with the perverse Thou shewest Thyself a wrestler.

٢٧ مَعَ ٱلطَّاهِرِ تَكُونُ طَاهِرًا، وَمَعَ ٱلْأَعْوَجِ تَكُونُ مُلْتَوِيًا.

28 And the poor people Thou dost save, And Thine eyes on the high causest to fall.

٢٨ وَتُخَلِّصُ ٱلشَّعْبَ ٱلْبَائِسَ، وَعَيْنَاكَ عَلَى ٱلْمُتَرَفِّعِينَ فَتَضَعُهُمْ.

29 For Thou [art] my lamp, O Jehovah, And Jehovah doth lighten my darkness.

٢٩ لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ سِرَاجِي يَارَبُّ، وَٱلرَّبُّ يُضِيءُ ظُلْمَتِي.

30 For by Thee I run — a troop, By my God I leap a wall.

٣٠ لِأَنِّي بِكَ ٱقْتَحَمْتُ جَيْشًا. بِإِلَهِي تَسَوَّرْتُ أَسْوَارًا.

31 God! Perfect [is] His way, The saying of Jehovah is tried, A shield He [is] to all those trusting in Him.

٣١ ٱللهُ طَرِيقُهُ كَامِلٌ، وَقَوْلُ ٱلرَّبِّ نَقِيٌّ. تُرْسٌ هُوَ لِجَمِيعِ ٱلْمُحْتَمِينَ بِهِ.

32 For who is God save Jehovah? And who a Rock save our God?

٣٢ لِأَنَّهُ مَنْ هُوَ إِلَهٌ غَيْرُ ٱلرَّبِّ؟ وَمَنْ هُوَ صَخْرَةٌ غَيْرُ إِلَهِنَا؟

33 God — my bulwark, [my] strength, And He maketh perfect my way;

٣٣ ٱلْإِلَهُ ٱلَّذِي يُعَزِّزُنِي بِٱلْقُوَّةِ، وَيُصَيِّرُ طَرِيقِي كَامِلًا.

34 Making my feet like hinds, And on my high places causeth me to stand,

٣٤ ٱلَّذِي يَجْعَلُ رِجْلَيَّ كَٱلْإِيَّلِ، وَعَلَى مُرْتَفَعَاتِي يُقِيمُنِي

35 Teaching my hands for battle, And brought down was a bow of brass by mine arms,

٣٥ ٱلَّذِي يُعَلِّمُ يَدَيَّ ٱلْقِتَالَ، فَتُحْنَى بِذِرَاعَيَّ قَوْسٌ مِنْ نُحَاسٍ.

36 And Thou givest to me the shield of Thy salvation, And Thy lowliness maketh me great.

٣٦ وَتَجْعَلُ لِي تُرْسَ خَلَاصِكَ، وَلُطْفُكَ يُعَظِّمُنِي.

37 Thou enlargest my step under me, And mine ankles have not slidden.

٣٧ تُوَسِّعُ خَطْوَاتِي تَحْتِي، فَلَمْ تَتَقَلْقَلْ كَعْبَايَ.

38 I pursue mine enemies and destroy them, And I turn not till they are consumed.

٣٨ أَلْحَقُ أَعْدَائِي فَأُهْلِكُهُمْ، وَلَا أَرْجِعُ حَتَّى أُفْنِيَهُمْ.

39 And I consume them, and smite them, And they rise not, and fall under my feet.

٣٩ أُفْنِيهِمْ وَأَسْحَقُهُمْ فَلَا يَقُومُونَ، بَلْ يَسْقُطُونَ تَحْتَ رِجْلَيَّ.

40 And Thou girdest me [with] strength for battle, Thou causest my withstanders to bow under me.

٤٠ «تُنَطِّقُنِي قُوَّةً لِلْقِتَالِ، وَتَصْرَعُ ٱلْقَائِمِينَ عَلَيَّ تَحْتِي.

41 And mine enemies — Thou givest to me the neck, Those hating me — and I cut them off.

٤١ وَتُعْطِينِي أَقْفِيَةَ أَعْدَائِي وَمُبْغِضِيَّ فَأُفْنِيهِمْ.

42 They look, and there is no saviour; Unto Jehovah, and He hath not answered them.

٤٢ يَتَطَلَّعُونَ فَلَيْسَ مُخَلِّصٌ، إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ فَلَا يَسْتَجِيبُهُمْ.

43 And I beat them as dust of the earth, As mire of the streets I beat them small — I spread them out!

٤٣ فَأَسْحَقُهُمْ كَغُبَارِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. مِثْلَ طِينِ ٱلْأَسْوَاقِ أَدُقُّهُمْ وَأَدُوسُهُمْ.

44 And — Thou dost deliver me From the strivings of my people, Thou placest me for a head of nations; A people I have not known do serve me.

٤٤ وَتُنْقِذُنِي مِنْ مُخَاصَمَاتِ شَعْبِي، وَتَحْفَظُنِي رَأْسًا لِلْأُمَمِ. شَعْبٌ لَمْ أَعْرِفْهُ يَتَعَبَّدُ لِي.

45 Sons of a stranger feign obedience to me, At the hearing of the ear they hearken to me.

٤٥ بَنُو ٱلْغُرَبَاءِ يَتَذَلَّلُونَ لِي. مِنْ سَمَاعِ ٱلْأُذُنِ يَسْمَعُونَ لِي.

46 Sons of a stranger fade away, And gird themselves by their close places.

٤٦ بَنُو ٱلْغُرَبَاءِ يَبْلَوْنَ وَيَزْحَفُونَ مِنْ حُصُونِهِمْ.

47 Jehovah liveth, and blessed [is] my Rock, And exalted is my God — The Rock of my salvation.

٤٧ حَيٌّ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَمُبَارَكٌ صَخْرَتِي، وَمُرْتَفَعٌ إِلَهُ صَخْرَةِ خَلَاصِي.

48 God — who is giving vengeance to me, And bringing down peoples under me,

٤٨ ٱلْإِلَهُ ٱلْمُنْتَقِمُ لِي، وَٱلْمُخْضِعُ شُعُوبًا تَحْتِي،

49 And bringing me forth from mine enemies, Yea, above my withstanders Thou raisest me up. From a man of violence Thou deliverest me.

٤٩ وَٱلَّذِي يُخْرِجُنِي مِنْ بَيْنِ أَعْدَائِي، وَيَرْفَعُنِي فَوْقَ ٱلْقَائِمِينَ عَلَيَّ، وَيُنْقِذُنِي مِنْ رَجُلِ ٱلظُّلْمِ.

50 Therefore I confess Thee, O Jehovah, among nations. And to Thy name I sing praise.

٥٠ لِذَلِكَ أَحْمَدُكَ يَارَبُّ فِي ٱلْأُمَمِ، وَلِٱسْمِكَ أُرَنِّمُ.

51 Magnifying the salvations of His king, And doing loving-kindness to His anointed, To David, and to his seed — unto the age!'

٥١ بُرْجُ خَلَاصٍ لِمَلِكِهِ، وَٱلصَّانِعُ رَحْمَةً لِمَسِيحِهِ، لِدَاوُدَ وَنَسْلِهِ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ».
