مزامیر 106
| سپاس بر خداوند! خداوند را سپاس گویید، زیرا او نیکوست و محبتش ابدی. | 1 |
Praise Yahweh! Praise Yahweh, because he does good things [for us]; he faithfully loves [us] forever/continually!
| کیست که بتواند تمام کارهای بزرگی را که خداوند انجام داده است بیان کند و شکر و سپاس او را آنچنان که باید و شاید، بجا آورد؟ | 2 |
[Because Yahweh has done many great things], no one can [RHQ] tell all the great things that Yahweh has done, and no one can praise him enough/sufficiently.
| خوشا به حال آنانی که با انصاف هستند و همیشه آنچه را راست است انجام می‌دهند. | 3 |
(Happy are/He is pleased with) those who act fairly/justly, with those who always do what is right.
| ای خداوند، هنگامی که بر قوم خود رحمت می‌فرمایی و آنها را نجات می‌دهی مرا نیز به یاد آور و نجات بده تا سعادت برگزیدگان تو را ببینم و با قوم تو شادی کنم و در فخر آنها شریک باشم. | 4 |
Yahweh, be kind to me when you help your people; help me when you rescue/save them.
| 5 |
Allow me to see it when your people become prosperous again and when [all the people of] your nation, [Israel], are happy; allow me to be happy with them! I want to praise you along with [all] those [others] who belong to you.
| ما نیز مانند اجداد خود گناه کرده‌ایم؛ شرور و بدکار بوده‌ایم. | 6 |
We and our ancestors have sinned; we have done things that were very wicked [DOU].
| اجدادمان معجزات تو را در مصر درک ننمودند. آنها محبتهای تو را فراموش کردند و در کنار دریای سرخ از اطاعت تو سر باز زدند. | 7 |
When our ancestors were in Egypt, they did not pay attention to the wonderful things that Yahweh did; they forgot about the many times that he showed that he faithfully loved them. Instead, when they were at the Red Sea, they rebelled against God, who is greater than any other god.
| اما تو، به خاطر نام خود، آنها را نجات دادی و بدین وسیله قدرت خود را آشکار ساختی. | 8 |
But he rescued them for the sake of his own [reputation] in order that he could show that he is very powerful.
| دریای سرخ را امر فرمودی و خشک گردید و بنی‌اسرائیل را هدایت کردی تا از میان دریا که همچون بیابان، خشک شده بود گذر کنند. | 9 |
He rebuked the Red Sea and it became dry, and [then] while he led our ancestors across it, they walked through it as though it were as dry as a desert [SIM].
| آنها را از دست دشمنانشان رهانیدی و آزاد ساختی. | 10 |
In that way he rescued them from the power [MTY] of their enemies who hated them [DOU].
| همه دشمنان آنها در دریا غرق شدند و حتی یکی از آنها نیز زنده نماند. | 11 |
[Then] their enemies were drowned in the water [of the Red Sea]; not one of them was left.
| آنگاه قوم خداوند، به وعده‌های او ایمان آوردند و او را با سرود ستایش کردند. | 12 |
When that happened, our ancestors believed [that Yahweh had truly done for them] what he had promised to do, and they sang to praise him.
| ولی طولی نکشید که معجزاتش را فراموش کردند و بدون مشورت با او به راه خود ادامه دادند. | 13 |
But they soon forgot what he had done for them; they [did things] without waiting to find out what Yahweh wanted them to do.
| آنها با خواسته‌های نفسانی خود، خدا را در صحرا امتحان کردند. | 14 |
They intensely wanted [food like they formerly ate in Egypt]. They [did evil things to] find out [if they could do those things without God punishing them].
| خدا هم آنچه را که خواستند به ایشان داد، ولی آنها را به بیماری سختی مبتلا ساخت. | 15 |
[So] he gave them what they requested, but he [also] caused a terrible disease to afflict them.
| بنی‌اسرائیل در صحرا به موسی و هارون، پیشوایان برگزیده خداوند، حسد بردند. | 16 |
[Later] when [some of] the men became jealous of Moses and [his older brother] Aaron, who was dedicated [to serve Yahweh by being a priest],
| آنگاه زمین دهان گشود و «داتان» و «ابیرام» را با خاندانشان فرو برد، | 17 |
the ground opened up and swallowed Dathan and [also] buried Abiram and his family.
| و آتش از آسمان بر طرفداران ایشان افروخته شد و آن مردم شرور را سوزانید. | 18 |
And [God sent] a fire down [from heaven] which burned up [all] the wicked [people who (supported them/agreed with) them].
| بنی‌اسرائیل در دامنه کوه سینا بُتی گوساله شکل از طلا ساختند و آن را پرستش کردند. | 19 |
Then the [Israeli leaders] made a gold statue at Sinai [Mountain] and worshiped it.
| آنها به جای عبادت خدای پرجلال، مجسمه گاو را پرستش نمودند. | 20 |
Instead of worshiping [our] glorious God, they [started to] worship a statue of a bull that eats grass!
| آنها خدای نجات دهنده خود را خوار شمردند و کارهای شگفت‌انگیز او را در مصر سرزمین حام و دریای سرخ فراموش کردند. | 21 |
They forgot about God, who had rescued them by the great miracles that he performed in Egypt.
| 22 |
They forgot about the wonderful things that he did for them in Egypt and the amazing/awesome things that he did for them at the Red Sea.
| آنگاه خداوند خواست ایشان را هلاک کند، ولی خادم برگزیده او موسی به شفاعت برخاست و التماس نمود که از نابود کردن آنها بگذرد. | 23 |
Because of that, God said that he would get rid of the Israelis, but Moses, whom God had chosen [to serve him], pleaded with God [not to get rid of them]. And as a result God did not destroy them.
| بنی‌اسرائیل نمی‌خواستند وارد سرزمین موعود شوند، چون به وعده خدا که گفته بود آن زمین را به ایشان می‌دهد، ایمان نداشتند. | 24 |
[Later], our ancestors (refused/were afraid) to enter beautiful [Canaan] land because they did not believe [that God would enable them to take the land from the people who were living there, as] he had promised.
| آنها در خیمه‌های خود پیوسته غرغر می‌کردند و به دستورهای خداوند گوش نمی‌دادند. | 25 |
They stayed in their tents and grumbled and would not pay attention to what Yahweh said that they should do.
| از این رو، خداوند خواست ایشان را در صحرا نابود کند، | 26 |
So he solemnly [MTY] told them that he would cause them to die [there] in the desert,
| و فرزندانشان را در سرزمینهای بیگانه پراکنده و آواره سازد. | 27 |
and that he would scatter their descendants among the [people of other] nations/people-groups [who did not believe in him], and that he would allow them to die in those lands.
| بنی‌اسرائیل در «فغور» به پرستش بت بعل پرداختند و از گوشت قربانیهایی که به بتهای بی‌جان تقدیم می‌شد، خوردند. | 28 |
Later the Israeli people [started to] worship [the idol of] Baal [who they thought lived] at Peor [Mountain], and they ate [meat that had been] sacrificed to [Baal and those other] lifeless gods.
| با این رفتار خود، خشم خداوند را برانگیختند که به سبب آن بیماری وبا دامنگیر آنها شد. | 29 |
Yahweh became [very] angry because of what they had done, [so again] he sent a terrible disease to attack/strike them.
| آنگاه «فینحاس» برخاسته، افراد مقصر را مجازات نمود و وبا قطع گردید. | 30 |
But Phinehas stood up and punished/killed [the ones who had sinned greatly], and as a result the (plague/serious disease) ended.
| این کار نیک فینحاس در نزد خدا هرگز فراموش نخواهد شد و تمام نسلها او را به نیکی یاد خواهند کرد. | 31 |
People have remembered that righteous thing that Phinehas did, and in future years people will remember it.
| بنی‌اسرائیل در کنار چشمهٔ «مریبه»، خداوند را خشمگین ساختند، چنانکه حتی موسی به خاطر آنها از ورود به سرزمین کنعان محروم شد. | 32 |
[Then] at Meribah Springs our ancestors caused Yahweh to become angry, and as a result Moses had trouble.
| زیرا چنان موسی را به ستوه آوردند که او غضبناک شده، سخن ناشایست به زبان راند. | 33 |
They caused Moses to become very angry [IDM], and he said things that were foolish.
| آنها، قومهایی را که خداوند گفته بود از بین ببرند، نکشتند، | 34 |
Our ancestors did not destroy the people [who did not believe in Yahweh] like he told them to do.
| بلکه با آنها وصلت نمودند و از کارهای بد ایشان پیروی کردند. | 35 |
Instead, they mingled with people from those people-groups, and they started to do the evil things that those people did.
| بتهای آنها را پرستش نمودند و با این کار، خود را محکوم به مرگ کردند. | 36 |
Our ancestors worshiped the idols of those people, which resulted in their being destroyed/exiled/taken to another country [MET].
| اسرائیلی‌ها، پسران و دختران خود را برای بتها قربانی کردند. | 37 |
[Some of] the Israelis sacrificed their sons and daughters to the demons [that those idols represented].
| خون فرزندان بی‌گناه خود را برای بتهای کنعان ریختند و زمین موعود را با خون آنها ناپاک ساختند. | 38 |
They killed [MTY] their own children, who (were innocent/had not done things that were wrong), and offered them as sacrifices to the idols in Canaan. [As a result], Canaan land was polluted by those murders [MTY].
| با این کارها، خود را آلوده کردند و به خدا خیانت ورزیدند. | 39 |
So by their deeds they caused themselves to become unacceptable to God; [because they did not faithfully worship only God], [they became like] women who sleep with other men [instead of sleeping only with their husbands] [MET].
| بنابراین، خشم خداوند بر بنی‌اسرائیل افروخته شد و او از آنها بیزار گردید. | 40 |
So Yahweh became very angry with his people; he was completely disgusted with them.
| آنها را به دست قومهایی که از ایشان نفرت داشتند، سپرد تا بر آنها حکمرانی کنند. | 41 |
[As a result] he allowed people-groups [who did not believe in him] to conquer them, so those who hated our ancestors started to rule over them.
| دشمنانشان بر آنها ظلم کردند و ایشان را خوار و ذلیل ساختند. | 42 |
Their enemies (oppressed them/treated them cruelly) and completely controlled them [MET].
| خداوند بارها بنی‌اسرائیل را از دست دشمنانشان نجات بخشید، ولی آنها هر بار بر ضد او شوریدند و در گناهان خود بیشتر غرق شدند. | 43 |
Many times Yahweh rescued them, but they continued to rebel against him, and they were finally destroyed because of the sins that they committed.
| با وجود این، هنگامی که فریاد برآوردند، خداوند به داد ایشان رسید و به درماندگی آنها توجه نمود. | 44 |
However, Yahweh [always] heard them when they cried out to him; he listened to them when they were distressed.
| او وعده‌ای را که به ایشان داده بود، به یاد آورد و به سبب محبت فراوانش، آنها را مجازات نکرد. | 45 |
For their sake, he thought about the agreement/promise that he had made [to bless] them, and because he never stopped loving them very much, he changed his mind [about punishing them more].
| او دل اسیرکنندگان آنها را به رقت آورد تا به آنها رحم کنند. | 46 |
He caused all those who had taken the Israelis [to Babylonia] to (feel sorry for/pity) them.
| ای یهوه، خدای ما، ما را نجات ده. ما را از میان قومها جمع کن، تا نام مقدّس تو را سپاس گوییم و در ستایش تو فخر کنیم. | 47 |
Yahweh our God, rescue/save us and bring us back [to Israel] from among those people-groups in order that we may thank you [MTY] and joyfully praise you.
| متبارک باد یهوه، خدای اسرائیل، از ازل تا ابد. و همه مردم بگویند «آمین!» سپاس بر خداوند! | 48 |
Praise Yahweh, the God whom [we] Israelis [worship], praise him now and forever! And I want everyone to say, “Amen/May it be so!” Praise Yahweh!
