< اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 106 >

هَلِّلُويَا. اِحْمَدُوا ٱلرَّبَّ لِأَنَّهُ صَالِحٌ، لِأَنَّ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ رَحْمَتَهُ. ١ 1
Praise the Lord! Thank the Lord, for he is good! His trustworthy love lasts forever.
مَنْ يَتَكَلَّمُ بِجَبَرُوتِ ٱلرَّبِّ؟ مَنْ يُخْبِرُ بِكُلِّ تَسَابِيحِهِ؟ ٢ 2
Who can give an account of all the wonderful things the Lord has done? Who can give him all the praise he is due?
طُوبَى لِلْحَافِظِينَ ٱلْحَقَّ وَلِلصَّانِعِ ٱلْبِرَّ فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ. ٣ 3
Happy are those who treat people fairly, who always do what is right.
ٱذْكُرْنِي يَارَبُّ بِرِضَا شَعْبِكَ. تَعَهَّدْنِي بِخَلَاصِكَ، ٤ 4
Please remember me when you are generous to your people; think of me when you come to save.
لِأَرَى خَيْرَ مُخْتَارِيكَ. لِأَفْرَحَ بِفَرَحِ أُمَّتِكَ. لِأَفْتَخِرَ مَعَ مِيرَاثِكَ. ٥ 5
Let me see your chosen people prosperous; let me be happy together with your nation; let me share in being proud of you with those who belong to you.
أَخْطَأْنَا مَعَ آبَائِنَا. أَسَأْنَا وَأَذْنَبْنَا. ٦ 6
We have sinned just like our forefathers. We have done wrong. We are guilty.
آبَاؤُنَا فِي مِصْرَ لَمْ يَفْهَمُوا عَجَائِبَكَ. لَمْ يَذْكُرُوا كَثْرَةَ مَرَاحِمِكَ، فَتَمَرَّدُوا عِنْدَ ٱلْبَحْرِ، عِنْدَ بَحْرِ سُوفٍ. ٧ 7
They didn't pay attention to the wonderful things you did. They didn't keep in mind how much you loved them, but chose to rebel at the sea, the Red Sea.
فَخَلَّصَهُمْ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱسْمِهِ، لِيُعَرِّفَ بِجَبَرُوتِهِ. ٨ 8
Even so he saved them because of the kind of person he is, and to show his power
وَٱنْتَهَرَ بَحْرَ سُوفٍ فَيَبِسَ، وَسَيَّرَهُمْ فِي ٱللُّجَجِ كَٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ. ٩ 9
He gave his order to the Red Sea, and it dried up. He led his people across the seabed as if it were a desert.
وَخَلَّصَهُمْ مِنْ يَدِ ٱلْمُبْغِضِ، وَفَدَاهُمْ مِنْ يَدِ ٱلْعَدُوِّ. ١٠ 10
He rescued them from those who hated them; he saved them from their enemies' power.
وَغَطَّتِ ٱلْمِيَاهُ مُضَايِقِيهِمْ. وَاحِدٌ مِنْهُمْ لَمْ يَبْقَ. ١١ 11
The water drowned their enemies—none of them survived,
فَآمَنُوا بِكَلَامِهِ. غَنَّوْا بِتَسْبِيحِهِ. ١٢ 12
Then his people trusted in what he promised, and sang his praises.
أَسْرَعُوا فَنَسُوا أَعْمَالَهُ. لَمْ يَنْتَظِرُوا مَشُورَتَهُ. ١٣ 13
But they quickly forgot what he had done for them, and they didn't listen to his advice.
بَلِ ٱشْتَهَوْا شَهْوَةً فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ، وَجَرَّبُوا ٱللهَ فِي ٱلْقَفْرِ. ١٤ 14
They were filled with desperate cravings in the wilderness; they provoked God in the desert.
فَأَعْطَاهُمْ سُؤْلَهُمْ، وَأَرْسَلَ هُزَالًا فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ. ١٥ 15
He gave them what they wanted, but sent them a plague as well.
وَحَسَدُوا مُوسَى فِي ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ، وَهارُونَ قُدُّوسَ ٱلرَّبِّ. ١٦ 16
In the camp the people became jealous of Moses, and of Aaron, the Lord's holy priest.
فَتَحَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَٱبْتَلَعَتْ دَاثَانَ، وَطَبَقَتْ عَلَى جَمَاعَةِ أَبِيرَامَ، ١٧ 17
The earth split open and swallowed up Dathan; it buried Abiram and his followers.
وَٱشْتَعَلَتْ نَارٌ فِي جَمَاعَتِهِمْ. ٱللَّهِيبُ أَحْرَقَ ٱلْأَشْرَارَ. ١٨ 18
Fire broke out among them—a flame that burned them up.
صَنَعُوا عِجْلًا فِي حُورِيبَ، وَسَجَدُوا لِتِمْثَالٍ مَسْبُوكٍ، ١٩ 19
At Mount Sinai they made a calf, they bowed down before a metal idol.
وَأَبْدَلُوا مَجْدَهُمْ بِمِثَالِ ثَوْرٍ آكِلِ عُشْبٍ. ٢٠ 20
They replaced their God of glory with a bull that eats grass!
نَسُوا ٱللهَ مُخَلِّصَهُمُ، ٱلصَّانِعَ عَظَائِمَ فِي مِصْرَ، ٢١ 21
They forgot God, their Savior, who had done marvelous things in Egypt;
وَعَجَائِبَ فِي أَرْضِ حَامٍ، وَمَخَاوِفَ عَلَى بَحْرِ سُوفٍ، ٢٢ 22
performing miracles in the land of Ham, doing amazing things at the Red Sea.
فَقَالَ بِإِهْلَاكِهِمْ. لَوْلَا مُوسَى مُخْتَارُهُ وَقَفَ فِي ٱلثَّغْرِ قُدَّامَهُ لِيَصْرِفَ غَضَبَهُ عَنْ إِتْلَافِهِمْ. ٢٣ 23
So he said he was going to destroy them But Moses, his chosen leader, placed himself between the Lord and the people to persuade the Lord not to destroy them in his anger.
وَرَذَلُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلشَّهِيَّةَ. لَمْ يُؤْمِنُوا بِكَلِمَتِهِ. ٢٤ 24
Later the people refused to enter the Promised Land; they didn't trust him to do as he'd promised.
بَلْ تَمَرْمَرُوا فِي خِيَامِهِمْ. لَمْ يَسْمَعُوا لِصَوْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ، ٢٥ 25
They complained in their tents about the Lord, and refused to obey what he told them.
فَرَفَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَيْهِمْ لِيُسْقِطَهُمْ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ، ٢٦ 26
So he raised his hand to give them a serious warning that he would bring them down in the wilderness,
وَلِيُسْقِطَ نَسْلَهُمْ بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ، وَلِيُبَدِّدَهُمْ فِي ٱلْأَرَاضِي. ٢٧ 27
that he would disperse their descendants among the heathen nations, scattering them among countries far away.
وَتَعَلَّقُوا بِبَعْلِ فَغُورَ، وَأَكَلُوا ذَبَائِحَ ٱلْمَوْتَى. ٢٨ 28
They gave their allegiance to Baal Peor, and ate food sacrificed to the dead.
وَأَغَاظُوهُ بِأَعْمَالِهِمْ فَٱقْتَحَمَهُمُ ٱلْوَبَأُ. ٢٩ 29
They provoked the Lord by what they did, making him angry, so a plague broke out among them.
فَوَقَفَ فِينَحَاسُ وَدَانَ، فَٱمْتَنَعَ ٱلْوَبَأُ. ٣٠ 30
But Phinehas took a stand for the Lord and intervened, and the plague was stopped in its tracks.
فَحُسِبَ لَهُ ذَلِكَ بِرًّا إِلَى دَوْرٍ فَدَوْرٍ، إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. ٣١ 31
He has been considered as a man who lived right from that time on and for all generations.
وَأَسْخَطُوهُ عَلَى مَاءِ مَرِيبَةَ حَتَّى تَأَذَّى مُوسَى بِسَبَبِهِمْ. ٣٢ 32
They also angered him at the waters of Meribah where things went badly for Moses because of them.
لِأَنَّهُمْ أَمَرُّوا رُوحَهُ حَتَّى فَرَطَ بِشَفَتَيْهِ. ٣٣ 33
They upset him so much that he spoke without thinking in the heat of the moment.
لَمْ يَسْتَأْصِلُوا ٱلْأُمَمَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالَ لَهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ عَنْهُمْ، ٣٤ 34
They did not destroy the heathen peoples as the Lord had told them to do,
بَلِ ٱخْتَلَطُوا بِٱلْأُمَمِ وَتَعَلَّمُوا أَعْمَالَهُمْ. ٣٥ 35
but instead they joined in with them and adopted their way of life.
وَعَبَدُوا أَصْنَامَهُمْ، فَصَارَتْ لَهُمْ شَرَكًا. ٣٦ 36
They worshiped their pagan idols which became a trap for them.
وَذَبَحُوا بَنِيهِمْ وَبَنَاتِهِمْ لِلْأَوْثَانِ. ٣٧ 37
The even sacrificed their sons and daughters to these demons.
وَأَهْرَقُوا دَمًا زَكِيًّا، دَمَ بَنِيهِمْ وَبَنَاتِهِمِ ٱلَّذِينَ ذَبَحُوهُمْ لِأَصْنَامِ كَنْعَانَ، وَتَدَنَّسَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ بِٱلدِّمَاءِ. ٣٨ 38
They shed the blood of innocent children, their sons and daughters, sacrificing them to the idols of Canaan. By doing so they defiled the land with blood.
وَتَنَجَّسُوا بِأَعْمَالِهِمْ وَزَنَوْا بِأَفْعَالِهِمْ. ٣٩ 39
The also defiled themselves by what they did: their actions were spiritual adultery.
فَحَمِيَ غَضَبُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى شَعْبِهِ، وَكَرِهَ مِيرَاثَهُ. ٤٠ 40
So the Lord was angry with his people—he loathed those who belonged to him.
وَأَسْلَمَهُمْ لِيَدِ ٱلْأُمَمِ، وَتَسَلَّطَ عَلَيْهِمْ مُبْغِضُوهُمْ. ٤١ 41
He handed them over to the heathen nations. These people who hated them now became their rulers.
وَضَغَطَهُمْ أَعْدَاؤُهُمْ، فَذَلُّوا تَحْتَ يَدِهِمْ. ٤٢ 42
Their enemies dominated and subdued them with their power.
مَرَّاتٍ كَثِيرَةً أَنْقَذَهُمْ، أَمَّا هُمْ فَعَصَوْهُ بِمَشُورَتِهِمْ وَٱنْحَطُّوا بِإِثْمِهِمْ. ٤٣ 43
The Lord repeatedly rescued them, but they continued with their rebellious ideas, until they were finally destroyed by their own sins.
فَنَظَرَ إِلَى ضِيقِهِمْ إِذْ سَمِعَ صُرَاخَهُمْ. ٤٤ 44
Despite all this, the Lord was moved by their suffering; he heard their sad cries.
وَذَكَرَ لَهُمْ عَهْدَهُ، وَنَدِمَ حَسَبَ كَثْرَةِ رَحْمَتِهِ. ٤٥ 45
He remembered the agreement he had made with them, and he held back because of his great kindness and love.
وَأَعْطَاهُمْ نِعْمَةً قُدَّامَ كُلِّ ٱلَّذِينَ سَبَوْهُمْ. ٤٦ 46
He made the people who captured them treat them with mercy.
خَلِّصْنَا أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا، وَٱجْمَعْنَا مِنْ بَيْنِ ٱلْأُمَمِ، لِنَحْمَدَ ٱسْمَ قُدْسِكَ، وَنَتَفَاخَرَ بِتَسْبِيحِكَ. ٤٧ 47
Save us, Lord, our God! Bring us back together from among the nations, so we can thank you and declare how magnificent and holy you are.
مُبَارَكٌ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنَ ٱلْأَزَلِ وَإِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. وَيَقُولُ كُلُّ ٱلشَّعْبِ: «آمِينَ». هَلِّلُويَا. ٤٨ 48
How wonderful is the Lord, the God of Israel, who lives forever and ever! Let all the people say “Amen”! Praise the Lord!
