اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 105
| اِحْمَدُوا ٱلرَّبَّ. ٱدْعُوا بِٱسْمِهِ. عَرِّفُوا بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ بِأَعْمَالِهِ. | ١ 1 |
Give the Lord thanks, worship his wonderful nature, let people know what he's done!
| غَنُّوا لَهُ. رَنِّمُوا لَهُ. أَنْشِدُوا بِكُلِّ عَجَائِبِهِ. | ٢ 2 |
Sing to him, sing his praises; tell everyone the great things he's done!
| ٱفْتَخِرُوا بِٱسْمِهِ ٱلْقُدُّوسِ. لِتَفْرَحْ قُلُوبُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَلْتَمِسُونَ ٱلرَّبَّ. | ٣ 3 |
Be proud of his holy character; be happy, all who come to the Lord!
| اُطْلُبُوا ٱلرَّبَّ وَقُدْرَتَهُ. ٱلْتَمِسُوا وَجْهَهُ دَائِمًا. | ٤ 4 |
Look for the Lord, and his strength; always look to be in his presence.
| ٱذْكُرُوا عَجَائِبَهُ ٱلَّتِي صَنَعَ، آيَاتِهِ وَأَحْكَامَ فِيهِ، | ٥ 5 |
Remember all the wonderful things he's done, the miracles he's performed, and the judgments he's carried out,
| يَا ذُرِّيَّةَ إِبْراهِيمَ عَبْدِهِ، يَا بَنِي يَعْقُوبَ مُخْتَارِيهِ. | ٦ 6 |
descendants of Abraham, children of Israel, his chosen people.
| هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا فِي كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ أَحْكَامُهُ. | ٧ 7 |
He is the Lord, our God, his judgments cover the whole earth.
| ذَكَرَ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ عَهْدَهُ، كَلَامًا أَوْصَى بِهِ إِلَى أَلْفِ دَوْرٍ، | ٨ 8 |
He remembers his agreement forever, the promise he made lasts for a thousand generations;
| ٱلَّذِي عَاهَدَ بِهِ إِبْراهِيمَ، وَقَسَمَهُ لِإِسْحاقَ، | ٩ 9 |
the agreement he made with Abraham, the vow he gave to Isaac.
| فَثَبَّتَهُ لِيَعْقُوبَ فَرِيضَةً، وَلِإِسْرَائِيلَ عَهْدًا أَبَدِيًّا، | ١٠ 10 |
The Lord legally confirmed it with Jacob, he made this binding agreement with Israel:
| قَائِلًا: «لَكَ أُعْطِي أَرْضَ كَنْعَانَ حَبْلَ مِيرَاثِكُمْ». | ١١ 11 |
saying to you, “I will give the land of Canaan for you to possess.”
| إِذْ كَانُوا عَدَدًا يُحْصَى، قَلِيلِينَ وَغُرَبَاءَ فِيهَا. | ١٢ 12 |
He said this when they were only a few, just a small group of foreigners in the land.
| ذَهَبُوا مِنْ أُمَّةٍ إِلَى أُمَّةٍ، مِنْ مَمْلَكَةٍ إِلَى شَعْبٍ آخَرَ. | ١٣ 13 |
They wandered from country to country, from one kingdom to the next.
| فَلَمْ يَدَعْ إِنْسَانًا يَظْلِمُهُمْ، بَلْ وَبَّخَ مُلُوكًا مِنْ أَجْلِهِمْ، | ١٤ 14 |
He didn't let anyone one treat them badly; warning kings to leave them alone:
| قَائِلًا: «لَا تَمَسُّوا مُسَحَائِي، وَلَا تُسِيئُوا إِلَى أَنْبِيَائِي». | ١٥ 15 |
“Don't touch my chosen people; don't harm my prophets!”
| دَعَا بِٱلْجُوعِ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ. كَسَرَ قِوَامَ ٱلْخُبْزِ كُلَّهُ. | ١٦ 16 |
He caused a famine in the Land of Canaan so that there was no food.
| أَرْسَلَ أَمَامَهُمْ رَجُلًا. بِيعَ يُوسُفُ عَبْدًا. | ١٧ 17 |
Before that he sent a man, Joseph, who was sold as a slave.
| آذَوْا بِٱلْقَيْدِ رِجْلَيْهِ. فِي ٱلْحَدِيدِ دَخَلَتْ نَفْسُهُ، | ١٨ 18 |
They hurt his feet by placing them in shackles, and they put an iron collar around his neck,
| إِلَى وَقْتِ مَجِيءِ كَلِمَتِهِ. قَوْلُ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱمْتَحَنَهُ. | ١٩ 19 |
until the time predicted came when the Lord tested him.
| أَرْسَلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ فَحَلَّهُ. أَرْسَلَ سُلْطَانُ ٱلشَّعْبِ فَأَطْلَقَهُ. | ٢٠ 20 |
The king sent for him and released him; the king of the people set him free.
| أَقَامَهُ سَيِّدًا عَلَى بَيْتِهِ، وَمُسَلَّطًا عَلَى كُلِّ مُلْكِهِ، | ٢١ 21 |
He put Joseph in charge of the royal household, manager of everything he had,
| لِيَأْسُرَ رُؤَسَاءَهُ حَسَبَ إِرَادَتِهِ وَيُعَلِّمَ مَشَايِخَهُ حِكْمَةً. | ٢٢ 22 |
to teach the king's officials whatever he wanted, to make the king's advisors wise.
| فَجَاءَ إِسْرَائِيلُ إِلَى مِصْرَ، وَيَعْقُوبُ تَغَرَّبَ فِي أَرْضِ حَامٍ. | ٢٣ 23 |
Then Israel entered Egypt—Jacob settled as a foreigner in the land of Ham.
| جَعَلَ شَعْبَهُ مُثْمِرًا جِدًّا، وَأَعَزَّهُ عَلَى أَعْدَائِهِ. | ٢٤ 24 |
The Lord made his people more fertile and more powerful than their enemies.
| حَوَّلَ قُلُوبَهُمْ لِيُبْغِضُوا شَعْبَهُ، لِيَحْتَالُوا عَلَى عَبِيدِهِ. | ٢٥ 25 |
He made the Egyptians change their minds and hate his people and act deceptively towards them.
| أَرْسَلَ مُوسَى عَبْدَهُ وَهارُونَ ٱلَّذِي ٱخْتَارَهُ. | ٢٦ 26 |
He sent his servant Moses, together with Aaron, whom he had chosen.
| أَقَامَا بَيْنَهُمْ كَلَامَ آيَاتِهِ، وَعَجَائِبَ فِي أَرْضِ حَامٍ. | ٢٧ 27 |
They carried out his miraculous signs among the Egyptians, his wonders in the land of Ham.
| أَرْسَلَ ظُلْمَةً فَأَظْلَمَتْ، وَلَمْ يَعْصَوْا كَلَامَهُ. | ٢٨ 28 |
He plunged the country into darkness—for hadn't they defied what the Lord had said?
| حَوَّلَ مِيَاهَهُمْ إِلَى دَمٍ وَقَتَلَ أَسْمَاكَهُمْ. | ٢٩ 29 |
He turned their water into blood, killing all the fish.
| أَفَاضَتْ أَرْضُهُمْ ضَفَادِعَ حَتَّى فِي مَخَادِعِ مُلُوكِهِمْ. | ٣٠ 30 |
Then he sent a plague of frogs across the land that even entered the bedrooms of their rulers.
| أَمَرَ فَجَاءَ ٱلذُّبَّانُ وَٱلْبَعُوضُ فِي كُلِّ تُخُومِهِمْ. | ٣١ 31 |
He gave the command, and flies spread throughout their land; mosquitoes were everywhere.
| جَعَلَ أَمْطَارَهُمْ بَرَدًا وَنَارًا مُلْتَهِبَةً فِي أَرْضِهِمْ. | ٣٢ 32 |
He rained down hail on them, and lightning flashed across their land.
| ضَرَبَ كُرُومَهُمْ وَتِينَهُمْ، وَكَسَّرَ كُلَّ أَشْجَارِ تُخُومِهِمْ. | ٣٣ 33 |
He struck down their grape vines, and tore down their trees.
| أَمَرَ فَجَاءَ ٱلْجَرَادُ وَغَوْغَاءُ بِلَا عَدَدٍ، | ٣٤ 34 |
He gave the command, and swarms of locusts came—countless locusts:
| فَأَكَلَ كُلَّ عُشْبٍ فِي بِلَادِهِمْ، وَأَكَلَ أَثْمَارَ أَرْضِهِمْ. | ٣٥ 35 |
they ate up all the vegetation in their land; they consumed all the growing crops.
| قَتَلَ كُلَّ بِكْرٍ فِي أَرْضِهِمْ، أَوَائِلَ كُلِّ قُوَّتِهِمْ. | ٣٦ 36 |
He killed all the firstborn in Egypt, the first to be produced in their vigor and strength.
| فَأَخْرَجَهُمْ بِفِضَّةٍ وَذَهَبٍ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ فِي أَسْبَاطِهِمْ عَاثِرٌ. | ٣٧ 37 |
Then he led his people out of Egypt, carrying silver and gold—not one among the tribes was stumbling along.
| فَرِحَتْ مِصْرُ بِخُرُوجِهِمْ، لِأَنَّ رُعْبَهُمْ سَقَطَ عَلَيْهِمْ. | ٣٨ 38 |
The Egyptians were delighted to see them go, for they were frightened of the Israelites.
| بَسَطَ سَحَابًا سَجْفًا، وَنَارًا لِتُضِيءَ ٱللَّيْلَ. | ٣٩ 39 |
He spread a cloud above them as a covering, and at night a fire to give them light.
| سَأَلُوا فَأَتَاهُمْ بِٱلسَّلْوَى، وَخُبْزَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ أَشْبَعَهُمْ. | ٤٠ 40 |
He gave them quails to eat when they asked him; he fed them with the bread of heaven until they were full.
| شَقَّ ٱلصَّخْرَةَ فَٱنْفَجَرَتِ ٱلْمِيَاهُ. جَرَتْ فِي ٱلْيَابِسَةِ نَهْرًا. | ٤١ 41 |
He split the rock open, and water gushed out—a river flowing through the desert.
| لِأَنَّهُ ذَكَرَ كَلِمَةَ قُدْسِهِ مَعَ إِبْراهِيمَ عَبْدِهِ، | ٤٢ 42 |
For he remembered his holy promise to his servant Abraham.
| فَأَخْرَجَ شَعْبَهُ بِٱبْتِهَاجٍ، وَمُخْتَارِيهِ بِتَرَنُّمٍ. | ٤٣ 43 |
So he led his people out, his chosen ones, as they sang for joy.
| وَأَعْطَاهُمْ أَرَاضِيَ ٱلْأُمَمِ، وَتَعَبَ ٱلشُّعُوبِ وَرِثُوهُ، | ٤٤ 44 |
He gave them the lands of the heathen nations, and they inherited what other people had worked for.
| لِكَيْ يَحْفَظُوا فَرَائِضَهُ وَيُطِيعُوا شَرَائِعَهُ. هَلِّلُويَا. | ٤٥ 45 |
The Lord did this so they could follow his instructions and keep his laws. Praise the Lord!
