< اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 107 >
اِحْمَدُوا ٱلرَّبَّ لِأَنَّهُ صَالِحٌ، لِأَنَّ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ رَحْمَتَهُ. | ١ 1 |
Alleluia. Confess to the Lord, for he is good, for his mercy is with every generation.
لِيَقُلْ مَفْدِيُّو ٱلرَّبِّ، ٱلَّذِينَ فَدَاهُمْ مِنْ يَدِ ٱلْعَدُوِّ، | ٢ 2 |
Let those who have been redeemed by the Lord say so: those whom he redeemed from the hand of the enemy and gathered from the regions,
وَمِنَ ٱلْبُلْدَانِ جَمَعَهُمْ، مِنَ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ وَمِنَ ٱلْمَغْرِبِ، مِنَ ٱلشِّمَالِ وَمِنَ ٱلْبَحْرِ. | ٣ 3 |
from the rising of the sun and its setting, from the north and from the sea.
تَاهُوا فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ فِي قَفْرٍ بِلَا طَرِيقٍ. لَمْ يَجِدُوا مَدِينَةَ سَكَنٍ. | ٤ 4 |
They wandered into solitude in a waterless place. They did not find the way of the city to be their dwelling place.
جِيَاعٌ عِطَاشٌ أَيْضًا أَعْيَتْ أَنْفُسُهُمْ فِيهِمْ. | ٥ 5 |
They were hungry, and they were thirsty. Their soul fainted within them.
فَصَرَخُوا إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ فِي ضِيقِهِمْ، فَأَنْقَذَهُمْ مِنْ شَدَائِدِهِمْ، | ٦ 6 |
And they cried out to the Lord in tribulation, and he rescued them in their necessity.
وَهَدَاهُمْ طَرِيقًا مُسْتَقِيمًا لِيَذْهَبُوا إِلَى مَدِينَةِ سَكَنٍ. | ٧ 7 |
And he led them in the right way, so that they might go forth to a city of habitation.
فَلْيَحْمَدُوا ٱلرَّبَّ عَلَى رَحْمَتِهِ وَعَجَائِبِهِ لِبَنِي آدَمَ. | ٨ 8 |
Let his mercies confess to the Lord, and let his miracles confess to the sons of men.
لِأَنَّهُ أَشْبَعَ نَفْسًا مُشْتَهِيَةً وَمَلَأَ نَفْسًا جَائِعَةً خَيْرًا، | ٩ 9 |
For he has satisfied the empty soul, and he has satisfied the hungry soul with good things:
ٱلْجُلُوسَ فِي ٱلظُّلْمَةِ وَظِلَالِ ٱلْمَوْتِ، مُوثَقِينَ بِٱلذُّلِّ وَٱلْحَدِيدِ. | ١٠ 10 |
those sitting in darkness and in the shadow of death, shackled by extreme poverty and by iron.
لِأَنَّهُمْ عَصَوْا كَلَامَ ٱللهِ، وَأَهَانُوا مَشُورَةَ ٱلْعَلِيِّ. | ١١ 11 |
For they exasperated the eloquence of God, and they irritated the deliberation of the Most High.
فَأَذَلَّ قُلُوبَهُمْ بِتَعَبٍ. عَثَرُوا وَلَا مَعِينَ. | ١٢ 12 |
And their heart was brought low with hardships. They were weakened, and there was no one to help them.
ثُمَّ صَرَخُوا إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ فِي ضِيقِهِمْ، فَخَلَّصَهُمْ مِنْ شَدَائِدِهِمْ. | ١٣ 13 |
And they cried out to the Lord in their tribulation, and he freed them from their distress.
أَخْرَجَهُمْ مِنَ ٱلظُّلْمَةِ وَظِلَالِ ٱلْمَوْتِ، وَقَطَّعَ قُيُودَهُمْ. | ١٤ 14 |
And he led them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and he broke apart their chains.
فَلْيَحْمَدُوا ٱلرَّبَّ عَلَى رَحْمَتِهِ وَعَجَائِبِهِ لِبَنِي آدَمَ. | ١٥ 15 |
Let his mercies confess to the Lord, and let his miracles confess to the sons of men.
لِأَنَّهُ كَسَّرَ مَصَارِيعَ نُحَاسٍ، وَقَطَّعَ عَوَارِضَ حَدِيدٍ. | ١٦ 16 |
For he has crushed the gates of brass and broken the iron bars.
وَٱلْجُهَّالُ مِنْ طَرِيقِ مَعْصِيَتِهِمْ، وَمِنْ آثَامِهِمْ يُذَلُّونَ. | ١٧ 17 |
He has taken them up, from the way of their iniquity. For they were brought low, because of their injustices.
كَرِهَتْ أَنْفُسُهُمْ كُلَّ طَعَامٍ، وَٱقْتَرَبُوا إِلَى أَبْوَابِ ٱلْمَوْتِ. | ١٨ 18 |
Their soul abhorred all food, and they drew near even to the gates of death.
فَصَرَخُوا إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ فِي ضِيقِهِمْ، فَخَلَّصَهُمْ مِنْ شَدَائِدِهِمْ. | ١٩ 19 |
And they cried out to the Lord in their tribulation, and he delivered them in their necessity.
أَرْسَلَ كَلِمَتَهُ فَشَفَاهُمْ، وَنَجَّاهُمْ مِنْ تَهْلُكَاتِهِمْ. | ٢٠ 20 |
He sent his word, and he healed them, and he rescued them from their utter destruction.
فَلْيَحْمَدُوا ٱلرَّبَّ عَلَى رَحْمَتِهِ وَعَجَائِبِهِ لِبَنِي آدَمَ. | ٢١ 21 |
Let his mercies confess to the Lord, and let his miracles confess to the sons of men.
وَلْيَذْبَحُوا لَهُ ذَبَائِحَ ٱلْحَمْدِ، وَلْيَعُدُّوا أَعْمَالَهُ بِتَرَنُّمٍ. | ٢٢ 22 |
And let them offer sacrifice with the sacrifice of praise, and let them announce his works in exultation.
اَلنَّازِلُونَ إِلَى ٱلْبَحْرِ فِي ٱلسُّفُنِ، ٱلْعَامِلُونَ عَمَلًا فِي ٱلْمِيَاهِ ٱلْكَثِيرَةِ، | ٢٣ 23 |
Those who descend to the sea in ships, making their livelihood in the great waters:
هُمْ رَأَوْا أَعْمَالَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَعَجَائِبَهُ فِي ٱلْعُمْقِ. | ٢٤ 24 |
these have seen the works of the Lord and his wonders in the deep.
أَمَرَ فَأَهَاجَ رِيحًا عَاصِفَةً فَرَفَعَتْ أَمْوَاجَهُ. | ٢٥ 25 |
He spoke: and a windstorm stood up, and its waves were exalted.
يَصْعَدُونَ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ، يَهْبِطُونَ إِلَى ٱلْأَعْمَاقِ. ذَابَتْ أَنْفُسُهُمْ بِٱلشَّقَاءِ. | ٢٦ 26 |
They ascend even to the heavens, and they descend even to the abyss. Their soul will waste away in distress.
يَتَمَايَلُونَ وَيَتَرَنَّحُونَ مِثْلَ ٱلسَّكْرَانِ، وَكُلُّ حِكْمَتِهِمِ ٱبْتُلِعَتْ. | ٢٧ 27 |
They were troubled, and they moved like a drunkard, and all their wisdom was consumed.
فَيَصْرُخُونَ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ فِي ضِيقِهِمْ، وَمِنْ شَدَائِدِهِمْ يُخَلِّصُهُمْ. | ٢٨ 28 |
And they cried out to the Lord in their tribulation, and he led them out of their distress.
يُهْدِئُ ٱلْعَاصِفَةَ فَتَسْكُنُ، وَتَسْكُتُ أَمْوَاجُهَا. | ٢٩ 29 |
And he replaced the storm with a breeze, and its waves were stilled.
فَيَفْرَحُونَ لِأَنَّهُمْ هَدَأُوا، فَيَهْدِيهِمْ إِلَى ٱلْمَرْفَإِ ٱلَّذِي يُرِيدُونَهُ. | ٣٠ 30 |
And they were joyful that it was stilled, and he led them into the haven that they desired.
فَلْيَحْمَدُوا ٱلرَّبَّ عَلَى رَحْمَتِهِ وَعَجَائِبِهِ لِبَنِي آدَمَ. | ٣١ 31 |
Let his mercies confess to the Lord, and let his miracles confess to the sons of men.
وَلْيَرْفَعُوهُ فِي مَجْمَعِ ٱلشَّعْبِ، وَلْيُسَبِّحُوهُ فِي مَجْلِسِ ٱلْمَشَايِخِ. | ٣٢ 32 |
And let them exalt him in the Church of the people, and praise him in the chair of the elders.
يَجْعَلُ ٱلْأَنْهَارَ قِفَارًا، وَمَجَارِيَ ٱلْمِيَاهِ مَعْطَشَةً، | ٣٣ 33 |
He has placed rivers in the desert and sources of water in dry places,
وَٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلْمُثْمِرَةَ سَبِخَةً مِنْ شَرِّ ٱلسَّاكِنِينَ فِيهَا. | ٣٤ 34 |
a fruit-bearing land in the midst of brine, before the malice of those who dwell in it.
يَجْعَلُ ٱلْقَفْرَ غَدِيرَ مِيَاهٍ، وَأَرْضًا يَبَسًا يَنَابِيعَ مِيَاهٍ. | ٣٥ 35 |
He has placed a desert in the midst of pools of waters, and a land without water in the midst of sources of water.
وَيُسْكِنُ هُنَاكَ ٱلْجِيَاعَ فَيُهَيِّئُونَ مَدِينَةَ سَكَنٍ. | ٣٦ 36 |
And he has gathered the hungry together there, and they constructed a city of habitation.
وَيَزْرَعُونَ حُقُولًا وَيَغْرِسُونَ كُرُومًا، فَتَصْنَعُ ثَمَرَ غَلَّةٍ. | ٣٧ 37 |
And they sowed fields and planted vineyards, and they produced the fruit of nativity.
وَيُبَارِكُهُمْ فَيَكْثُرُونَ جِدًّا، وَلَا يُقَلِّلُ بَهَائِمَهُمْ. | ٣٨ 38 |
And he blessed them, and they were multiplied exceedingly. And he did not diminish their beasts of burden.
ثُمَّ يَقِلُّونَ وَيَنْحَنُونَ مِنْ ضَغْطِ ٱلشَّرِّ وَٱلْحُزْنِ. | ٣٩ 39 |
And they became few, and they were afflicted by the tribulation of evils and of sorrow.
يَسْكُبُ هَوَانًا عَلَى رُؤَسَاءَ، وَيُضِلُّهُمْ فِي تِيهٍ بِلَا طَرِيقٍ، | ٤٠ 40 |
Contempt was poured over their leaders, and he caused them to wander in an impassable place, and not on the way.
وَيُعَلِّي ٱلْمِسْكِينَ مِنَ ٱلذُّلِّ، وَيَجْعَلُ ٱلْقَبَائِلَ مِثْلَ قُطْعَانِ ٱلْغَنَمِ. | ٤١ 41 |
And he helped the poor out of destitution, and he stationed families like sheep.
يَرَى ذَلِكَ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمُونَ فَيَفْرَحُونَ، وَكُلُّ إِثْمٍ يَسُدُّ فَاهُ. | ٤٢ 42 |
The upright will see, and they will rejoice. And every iniquity will block its mouth.
مَنْ كَانَ حَكِيمًا يَحْفَظُ هَذَا، وَيَتَعَقَّلُ مَرَاحِمَ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٤٣ 43 |
Who is wise and will keep these things? And who will understand the mercies of the Lord?
