اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 104

١ 1 بَارِكِي يَا نَفْسِي ٱلرَّبَّ. يَارَبُّ إِلَهِي، قَدْ عَظُمْتَ جِدًّا. مَجْدًا وَجَلَالًا لَبِسْتَ.

Bless Jehovah, O my soul. O Jehovah my God, thou are very great. Thou are clothed with honor and majesty,

٢ 2 ٱللَّابِسُ ٱلنُّورَ كَثَوْبٍ، ٱلْبَاسِطُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ كَشُقَّةٍ.

who covers thyself with light as with a garment, who stretches out the heavens like a curtain,

٣ 3 ٱلْمُسَقِّفُ عَلَالِيَهُ بِٱلْمِيَاهِ. ٱلْجَاعِلُ ٱلسَّحَابَ مَرْكَبَتَهُ، ٱلْمَاشِي عَلَى أَجْنِحَةِ ٱلرِّيحِ.

who lays the beams of his chambers in the waters, who makes the clouds his chariot, who walks upon the wings of the wind,

٤ 4 ٱلصَّانِعُ مَلَائِكَتَهُ رِيَاحًا، وَخُدَّامَهُ نَارًا مُلْتَهِبَةً.

who makes his agents spirits, his ministers a flame of fire,

٥ 5 ٱلْمُؤَسِّسُ ٱلْأَرْضَ عَلَى قَوَاعِدِهَا فَلَا تَتَزَعْزَعُ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ وَٱلْأَبَدِ.

who laid the foundations of the earth that it should not be moved forever.

٦ 6 كَسَوْتَهَا ٱلْغَمْرَ كَثَوْبٍ. فَوْقَ ٱلْجِبَالِ تَقِفُ ٱلْمِيَاهُ.

Thou covered it with the deep as with a vesture. The waters stood above the mountains.

٧ 7 مِنِ ٱنْتِهَارِكَ تَهْرُبُ، مِنْ صَوْتِ رَعْدِكَ تَفِرُّ.

At thy rebuke they fled. At the voice of thy thunder they hastened away.

٨ 8 تَصْعَدُ إِلَى ٱلْجِبَالِ. تَنْزِلُ إِلَى ٱلْبِقَاعِ، إِلَى ٱلْمَوْضِعِ ٱلَّذِي أَسَّسْتَهُ لَهَا.

The mountains rose, the valleys sank down to the place which thou had founded for them.

٩ 9 وَضَعْتَ لَهَا تَخْمًا لَا تَتَعَدَّاهُ. لَا تَرْجِعُ لِتُغَطِّيَ ٱلْأَرْضَ.

Thou have set a bound that they may not pass over, that they turn not again to cover the earth.

١٠ 10 اَلْمُفَجِّرُ عُيُونًا فِي ٱلْأَوْدِيَةِ. بَيْنَ ٱلْجِبَالِ تَجْرِي.

He sends forth springs into the valleys. They run among the mountains.

١١ 11 تَسْقِي كُلَّ حَيَوَانِ ٱلْبَرِّ. تَكْسِرُ ٱلْفِرَاءُ ظَمْأَهَا.

They give drink to every beast of the field. The wild donkeys quench their thirst.

١٢ 12 فَوْقَهَا طُيُورُ ٱلسَّمَاءِ تَسْكُنُ. مِنْ بَيْنِ ٱلْأَغْصَانِ تُسَمِّعُ صَوْتًا.

By them the birds of the heavens have their habitation. They sing among the branches.

١٣ 13 ٱلسَّاقِي ٱلْجِبَالَ مِنْ عَلَالِيهِ. مِنْ ثَمَرِ أَعْمَالِكَ تَشْبَعُ ٱلْأَرْضُ.

He waters the mountains from his chambers. The earth is filled with the fruit of thy works.

١٤ 14 ٱلْمُنْبِتُ عُشْبًا لِلْبَهَائِمِ، وَخُضْرَةً لِخِدْمَةِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ، لِإِخْرَاجِ خُبْزٍ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ،

He causes the grass to grow for the cattle, and herbage for the service of man, that he may bring forth food out of the earth,

١٥ 15 وَخَمْرٍ تُفَرِّحُ قَلْبَ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ، لِإِلْمَاعِ وَجْهِهِ أَكْثَرَ مِنَ ٱلزَّيْتِ، وَخُبْزٍ يُسْنِدُ قَلْبَ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ.

and wine that makes glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread that strengthens man's heart.

١٦ 16 تَشْبَعُ أَشْجَارُ ٱلرَّبِّ، أَرْزُ لُبْنَانَ ٱلَّذِي نَصَبَهُ.

The trees of Jehovah are full, the cedars of Lebanon, which he has planted,

١٧ 17 حَيْثُ تُعَشِّشُ هُنَاكَ ٱلْعَصَافِيرُ. أَمَّا ٱللَّقْلَقُ فَٱلسَّرْوُ بَيْتُهُ.

where the birds make their nests. As for the stork, the fir trees are her house.

١٨ 18 ٱلْجِبَالُ ٱلْعَالِيَةُ لِلْوُعُولِ، ٱلصُّخُورُ مَلْجَأٌ لِلْوِبَارِ.

The high mountains are for the wild goats. The rocks are a refuge for the conies.

١٩ 19 صَنَعَ ٱلْقَمَرَ لِلْمَوَاقِيتِ. ٱلشَّمْسُ تَعْرِفُ مَغْرِبَهَا.

He appointed the moon for seasons. The sun knows his going down.

٢٠ 20 تَجْعَلُ ظُلْمَةً فَيَصِيرُ لَيْلٌ. فِيهِ يَدِبُّ كُلُّ حَيَوَانِ ٱلْوَعْرِ.

Thou make darkness, and it is night, during which all the beasts of the forest creep forth.

٢١ 21 ٱلْأَشْبَالُ تُزَمْجِرُ لِتَخْطَفَ، وَلِتَلْتَمِسَ مِنَ ٱللهِ طَعَامَهَا.

The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their food from God.

٢٢ 22 تُشْرِقُ ٱلشَّمْسُ فَتَجْتَمِعُ، وَفِي مَآوِيهَا تَرْبِضُ.

The sun arises; they get away, and lie down in their dens.

٢٣ 23 ٱلْإِنْسَانُ يَخْرُجُ إِلَى عَمَلِهِ، وَإِلَى شُغْلِهِ إِلَى ٱلْمَسَاءِ.

Man goes forth to his work and to his labor until the evening.

٢٤ 24 مَا أَعْظَمَ أَعْمَالَكَ يَارَبُّ! كُلَّهَا بِحِكْمَةٍ صَنَعْتَ. مَلْآنةٌ ٱلْأَرْضُ مِنْ غِنَاكَ.

O Jehovah, how manifold are thy works! In wisdom have thou made them all. The earth is full of thy riches.

٢٥ 25 هَذَا ٱلْبَحْرُ ٱلْكَبِيرُ ٱلْوَاسِعُ ٱلْأَطْرَافِ. هُنَاكَ دَبَّابَاتٌ بِلَا عَدَدٍ. صِغَارُ حَيَوَانٍ مَعَ كِبَارٍ.

Yonder is the sea, great and wide, in which are innumerable creeping things, both small and great beasts.

٢٦ 26 هُنَاكَ تَجْرِي ٱلسُّفُنُ. لِوِيَاثَانُ هَذَا خَلَقْتَهُ لِيَلْعَبَ فِيهِ.

There go the ships. There is leviathan, whom thou have formed to play in it.

٢٧ 27 كُلُّهَا إِيَّاكَ تَتَرَجَّى لِتَرْزُقَهَا قُوتَهَا فِي حِينِهِ.

These all wait for thee, that thou may give them their food in due season.

٢٨ 28 تُعْطِيهَا فَتَلْتَقِطُ. تَفْتَحُ يَدَكَ فَتَشْبَعُ خَيْرًا.

Thou give to them, they gather. Thou open thy hand, they are satisfied with good.

٢٩ 29 تَحْجُبُ وَجْهَكَ فَتَرْتَاعُ. تَنْزِعُ أَرْوَاحَهَا فَتَمُوتُ، وَإِلَى تُرَابِهَا تَعُودُ.

Thou hide thy face, they are troubled. Thou take away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.

٣٠ 30 تُرْسِلُ رُوحَكَ فَتُخْلَقُ، وَتُجَدِّدُ وَجْهَ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

Thou send forth thy Spirit, they are created, and thou renew the face of the ground.

٣١ 31 يَكُونُ مَجْدُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ. يَفْرَحُ ٱلرَّبُّ بِأَعْمَالِهِ.

Let the glory of Jehovah endure forever. Let Jehovah rejoice in his works,

٣٢ 32 ٱلنَّاظِرُ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَتَرْتَعِدُ. يَمَسُّ ٱلْجِبَالَ فَتُدَخِّنُ.

who looks on the earth, and it trembles. He touches the mountains, and they smoke.

٣٣ 33 أُغَنِّي لِلرَّبِّ فِي حَيَاتِي. أُرَنِّمُ لِإِلَهِي مَا دُمْتُ مَوْجُودًا.

I will sing to Jehovah as long as I live. I will sing praise to my God while I have any being.

٣٤ 34 فَيَلَذُّ لَهُ نَشِيدِي، وَأَنَا أَفْرَحُ بِٱلرَّبِّ.

Let thy meditation be sweet to him. I will rejoice in Jehovah.

٣٥ 35 لِتُبَدِ ٱلْخُطَاةُ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱلْأَشْرَارُ لَا يَكُونُوا بَعْدُ. بَارِكِي يَا نَفْسِي ٱلرَّبَّ. هَلِّلُويَا.

Let sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless Jehovah, O my soul. Praise ye Jehovah.
