< اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 105 >

اِحْمَدُوا ٱلرَّبَّ. ٱدْعُوا بِٱسْمِهِ. عَرِّفُوا بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ بِأَعْمَالِهِ. ١ 1
Give thanks to the Lord, call on his name: make known his deeds among the nations.
غَنُّوا لَهُ. رَنِّمُوا لَهُ. أَنْشِدُوا بِكُلِّ عَجَائِبِهِ. ٢ 2
Sing to him, make music to him, tell of all his wondrous works.
ٱفْتَخِرُوا بِٱسْمِهِ ٱلْقُدُّوسِ. لِتَفْرَحْ قُلُوبُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَلْتَمِسُونَ ٱلرَّبَّ. ٣ 3
Make your boast in his holy name, be glad at heart, you who seek the Lord.
اُطْلُبُوا ٱلرَّبَّ وَقُدْرَتَهُ. ٱلْتَمِسُوا وَجْهَهُ دَائِمًا. ٤ 4
Seek after the Lord and his strength, seek his face evermore.
ٱذْكُرُوا عَجَائِبَهُ ٱلَّتِي صَنَعَ، آيَاتِهِ وَأَحْكَامَ فِيهِ، ٥ 5
Remember the wonders he did, his portents, the judgments he uttered,
يَا ذُرِّيَّةَ إِبْراهِيمَ عَبْدِهِ، يَا بَنِي يَعْقُوبَ مُخْتَارِيهِ. ٦ 6
you who are offspring of Abraham, his servant, the children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا فِي كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ أَحْكَامُهُ. ٧ 7
He is the Lord our God: in all the earth are his judgments.
ذَكَرَ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ عَهْدَهُ، كَلَامًا أَوْصَى بِهِ إِلَى أَلْفِ دَوْرٍ، ٨ 8
He remembers forever his covenant, his promise for a thousand generations
ٱلَّذِي عَاهَدَ بِهِ إِبْراهِيمَ، وَقَسَمَهُ لِإِسْحاقَ، ٩ 9
The covenant he made with Abraham, the oath he swore to Isaac,
فَثَبَّتَهُ لِيَعْقُوبَ فَرِيضَةً، وَلِإِسْرَائِيلَ عَهْدًا أَبَدِيًّا، ١٠ 10
and confirmed as a statute to Jacob, a pact everlasting to Israel
قَائِلًا: «لَكَ أُعْطِي أَرْضَ كَنْعَانَ حَبْلَ مِيرَاثِكُمْ». ١١ 11
to give them the land of Canaan as the lot which they should inherit.
إِذْ كَانُوا عَدَدًا يُحْصَى، قَلِيلِينَ وَغُرَبَاءَ فِيهَا. ١٢ 12
And when they were very few, few and but pilgrims therein,
ذَهَبُوا مِنْ أُمَّةٍ إِلَى أُمَّةٍ، مِنْ مَمْلَكَةٍ إِلَى شَعْبٍ آخَرَ. ١٣ 13
wandering from nation to nation, journeying from people to people,
فَلَمْ يَدَعْ إِنْسَانًا يَظْلِمُهُمْ، بَلْ وَبَّخَ مُلُوكًا مِنْ أَجْلِهِمْ، ١٤ 14
he allowed no one to oppress them, even punishing kings for their sakes.
قَائِلًا: «لَا تَمَسُّوا مُسَحَائِي، وَلَا تُسِيئُوا إِلَى أَنْبِيَائِي». ١٥ 15
He forbade them to touch his anointed, or do any hurt to his prophets.
دَعَا بِٱلْجُوعِ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ. كَسَرَ قِوَامَ ٱلْخُبْزِ كُلَّهُ. ١٦ 16
When he called down famine on the land, and cut off the bread which sustained them,
أَرْسَلَ أَمَامَهُمْ رَجُلًا. بِيعَ يُوسُفُ عَبْدًا. ١٧ 17
he sent before them a man, Joseph, who was sold as a slave.
آذَوْا بِٱلْقَيْدِ رِجْلَيْهِ. فِي ٱلْحَدِيدِ دَخَلَتْ نَفْسُهُ، ١٨ 18
His feet were galled with fetters, he was laid in chains of iron,
إِلَى وَقْتِ مَجِيءِ كَلِمَتِهِ. قَوْلُ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱمْتَحَنَهُ. ١٩ 19
till the time that his word came to pass, the word of the Lord that had tried him.
أَرْسَلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ فَحَلَّهُ. أَرْسَلَ سُلْطَانُ ٱلشَّعْبِ فَأَطْلَقَهُ. ٢٠ 20
The king sent and freed him, the ruler of nations released him.
أَقَامَهُ سَيِّدًا عَلَى بَيْتِهِ، وَمُسَلَّطًا عَلَى كُلِّ مُلْكِهِ، ٢١ 21
He made him lord of his household, and ruler of all his possessions,
لِيَأْسُرَ رُؤَسَاءَهُ حَسَبَ إِرَادَتِهِ وَيُعَلِّمَ مَشَايِخَهُ حِكْمَةً. ٢٢ 22
to admonish his princes at will and instruct his elders in wisdom.
فَجَاءَ إِسْرَائِيلُ إِلَى مِصْرَ، وَيَعْقُوبُ تَغَرَّبَ فِي أَرْضِ حَامٍ. ٢٣ 23
Thus Israel came into Egypt, Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
جَعَلَ شَعْبَهُ مُثْمِرًا جِدًّا، وَأَعَزَّهُ عَلَى أَعْدَائِهِ. ٢٤ 24
His people he made very fruitful, and mightier than their foes.
حَوَّلَ قُلُوبَهُمْ لِيُبْغِضُوا شَعْبَهُ، لِيَحْتَالُوا عَلَى عَبِيدِهِ. ٢٥ 25
He inspired them to hate his people, and to deal with his servants craftily.
أَرْسَلَ مُوسَى عَبْدَهُ وَهارُونَ ٱلَّذِي ٱخْتَارَهُ. ٢٦ 26
He sent his servant Moses, and Aaron whom he had chosen,
أَقَامَا بَيْنَهُمْ كَلَامَ آيَاتِهِ، وَعَجَائِبَ فِي أَرْضِ حَامٍ. ٢٧ 27
portents he wrought in Egypt, and signs in the land of Ham.
أَرْسَلَ ظُلْمَةً فَأَظْلَمَتْ، وَلَمْ يَعْصَوْا كَلَامَهُ. ٢٨ 28
Darkness he sent, and it fell: yet they gave no heed to his word.
حَوَّلَ مِيَاهَهُمْ إِلَى دَمٍ وَقَتَلَ أَسْمَاكَهُمْ. ٢٩ 29
He turned their waters into blood, thus causing their fish to die.
أَفَاضَتْ أَرْضُهُمْ ضَفَادِعَ حَتَّى فِي مَخَادِعِ مُلُوكِهِمْ. ٣٠ 30
Their land was alive with frogs, swarming even in the royal chambers.
أَمَرَ فَجَاءَ ٱلذُّبَّانُ وَٱلْبَعُوضُ فِي كُلِّ تُخُومِهِمْ. ٣١ 31
At his command came flies, and lice in all their borders.
جَعَلَ أَمْطَارَهُمْ بَرَدًا وَنَارًا مُلْتَهِبَةً فِي أَرْضِهِمْ. ٣٢ 32
He gave them hail for rain and fire that flashed through the land,
ضَرَبَ كُرُومَهُمْ وَتِينَهُمْ، وَكَسَّرَ كُلَّ أَشْجَارِ تُخُومِهِمْ. ٣٣ 33
smiting their vines and figs, breaking the trees of their border.
أَمَرَ فَجَاءَ ٱلْجَرَادُ وَغَوْغَاءُ بِلَا عَدَدٍ، ٣٤ 34
At his command came locusts, young locusts beyond all counting,
فَأَكَلَ كُلَّ عُشْبٍ فِي بِلَادِهِمْ، وَأَكَلَ أَثْمَارَ أَرْضِهِمْ. ٣٥ 35
which ate every herb in the land, ate up, too, the fruit of their ground.
قَتَلَ كُلَّ بِكْرٍ فِي أَرْضِهِمْ، أَوَائِلَ كُلِّ قُوَّتِهِمْ. ٣٦ 36
He struck down in their land all the firstborn, the firstlings of all their strength
فَأَخْرَجَهُمْ بِفِضَّةٍ وَذَهَبٍ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ فِي أَسْبَاطِهِمْ عَاثِرٌ. ٣٧ 37
Then forth he led Israel with silver and gold, and among his tribes no one was weary.
فَرِحَتْ مِصْرُ بِخُرُوجِهِمْ، لِأَنَّ رُعْبَهُمْ سَقَطَ عَلَيْهِمْ. ٣٨ 38
Egypt was glad when they left, for terror had fallen upon them.
بَسَطَ سَحَابًا سَجْفًا، وَنَارًا لِتُضِيءَ ٱللَّيْلَ. ٣٩ 39
He spread out a cloud to screen them, and fire to give light in the night.
سَأَلُوا فَأَتَاهُمْ بِٱلسَّلْوَى، وَخُبْزَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ أَشْبَعَهُمْ. ٤٠ 40
He sent quails at their entreaty, and heavenly bread in abundance.
شَقَّ ٱلصَّخْرَةَ فَٱنْفَجَرَتِ ٱلْمِيَاهُ. جَرَتْ فِي ٱلْيَابِسَةِ نَهْرًا. ٤١ 41
He opened the rock; waters gushed: in the desert they ran like a river.
لِأَنَّهُ ذَكَرَ كَلِمَةَ قُدْسِهِ مَعَ إِبْراهِيمَ عَبْدِهِ، ٤٢ 42
For he remembered his holy promise to Abraham his servant.
فَأَخْرَجَ شَعْبَهُ بِٱبْتِهَاجٍ، وَمُخْتَارِيهِ بِتَرَنُّمٍ. ٤٣ 43
So he led out his people with joy, his elect with a ringing cry.
وَأَعْطَاهُمْ أَرَاضِيَ ٱلْأُمَمِ، وَتَعَبَ ٱلشُّعُوبِ وَرِثُوهُ، ٤٤ 44
And he gave them the lands of the nations, the fruit of their toil for possession,
لِكَيْ يَحْفَظُوا فَرَائِضَهُ وَيُطِيعُوا شَرَائِعَهُ. هَلِّلُويَا. ٤٥ 45
that so they might keep his statutes, and be of his laws observant. Hallelujah.
