< اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 107 >

اِحْمَدُوا ٱلرَّبَّ لِأَنَّهُ صَالِحٌ، لِأَنَّ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ رَحْمَتَهُ. ١ 1
“Give thanks to YHWH, For [He is] good, for His kindness [is] for all time”:
لِيَقُلْ مَفْدِيُّو ٱلرَّبِّ، ٱلَّذِينَ فَدَاهُمْ مِنْ يَدِ ٱلْعَدُوِّ، ٢ 2
Let the redeemed of YHWH say [so], Whom He redeemed from the hand of an adversary.
وَمِنَ ٱلْبُلْدَانِ جَمَعَهُمْ، مِنَ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ وَمِنَ ٱلْمَغْرِبِ، مِنَ ٱلشِّمَالِ وَمِنَ ٱلْبَحْرِ. ٣ 3
And has gathered them from the lands, From east and from west, From north, and from the sea.
تَاهُوا فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ فِي قَفْرٍ بِلَا طَرِيقٍ. لَمْ يَجِدُوا مَدِينَةَ سَكَنٍ. ٤ 4
They wandered in a wilderness, in a desert by the way, They have not found a city of habitation.
جِيَاعٌ عِطَاشٌ أَيْضًا أَعْيَتْ أَنْفُسُهُمْ فِيهِمْ. ٥ 5
Hungry—indeed—thirsty, Their soul becomes feeble in them,
فَصَرَخُوا إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ فِي ضِيقِهِمْ، فَأَنْقَذَهُمْ مِنْ شَدَائِدِهِمْ، ٦ 6
And they cry to YHWH in their adversity, He delivers them from their distress,
وَهَدَاهُمْ طَرِيقًا مُسْتَقِيمًا لِيَذْهَبُوا إِلَى مَدِينَةِ سَكَنٍ. ٧ 7
And causes them to tread in a right way, To go to a city of habitation.
فَلْيَحْمَدُوا ٱلرَّبَّ عَلَى رَحْمَتِهِ وَعَجَائِبِهِ لِبَنِي آدَمَ. ٨ 8
They confess to YHWH His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men.
لِأَنَّهُ أَشْبَعَ نَفْسًا مُشْتَهِيَةً وَمَلَأَ نَفْسًا جَائِعَةً خَيْرًا، ٩ 9
For He has satisfied a longing soul, And has filled a hungry soul [with] goodness.
ٱلْجُلُوسَ فِي ٱلظُّلْمَةِ وَظِلَالِ ٱلْمَوْتِ، مُوثَقِينَ بِٱلذُّلِّ وَٱلْحَدِيدِ. ١٠ 10
Inhabitants of dark places and death-shade, Prisoners of affliction and of iron,
لِأَنَّهُمْ عَصَوْا كَلَامَ ٱللهِ، وَأَهَانُوا مَشُورَةَ ٱلْعَلِيِّ. ١١ 11
Because they changed the saying of God, And despised the counsel of the Most High.
فَأَذَلَّ قُلُوبَهُمْ بِتَعَبٍ. عَثَرُوا وَلَا مَعِينَ. ١٢ 12
And He humbles their heart with labor, They have been feeble, and there is no helper.
ثُمَّ صَرَخُوا إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ فِي ضِيقِهِمْ، فَخَلَّصَهُمْ مِنْ شَدَائِدِهِمْ. ١٣ 13
And they cry to YHWH in their adversity, He saves them from their distresses.
أَخْرَجَهُمْ مِنَ ٱلظُّلْمَةِ وَظِلَالِ ٱلْمَوْتِ، وَقَطَّعَ قُيُودَهُمْ. ١٤ 14
He brings them out from the dark place, And death-shade, And He draws away their bands.
فَلْيَحْمَدُوا ٱلرَّبَّ عَلَى رَحْمَتِهِ وَعَجَائِبِهِ لِبَنِي آدَمَ. ١٥ 15
They confess to YHWH His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men.
لِأَنَّهُ كَسَّرَ مَصَارِيعَ نُحَاسٍ، وَقَطَّعَ عَوَارِضَ حَدِيدٍ. ١٦ 16
For He has broken doors of bronze, And He has cut bars of iron.
وَٱلْجُهَّالُ مِنْ طَرِيقِ مَعْصِيَتِهِمْ، وَمِنْ آثَامِهِمْ يُذَلُّونَ. ١٧ 17
Fools, by means of their transgression, And by their iniquities, afflict themselves.
كَرِهَتْ أَنْفُسُهُمْ كُلَّ طَعَامٍ، وَٱقْتَرَبُوا إِلَى أَبْوَابِ ٱلْمَوْتِ. ١٨ 18
Their soul detests all food, And they come near to the gates of death,
فَصَرَخُوا إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ فِي ضِيقِهِمْ، فَخَلَّصَهُمْ مِنْ شَدَائِدِهِمْ. ١٩ 19
And cry to YHWH in their adversity, He saves them from their distresses,
أَرْسَلَ كَلِمَتَهُ فَشَفَاهُمْ، وَنَجَّاهُمْ مِنْ تَهْلُكَاتِهِمْ. ٢٠ 20
He sends His word and heals them, And delivers [them] from their destructions.
فَلْيَحْمَدُوا ٱلرَّبَّ عَلَى رَحْمَتِهِ وَعَجَائِبِهِ لِبَنِي آدَمَ. ٢١ 21
They confess to YHWH His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men,
وَلْيَذْبَحُوا لَهُ ذَبَائِحَ ٱلْحَمْدِ، وَلْيَعُدُّوا أَعْمَالَهُ بِتَرَنُّمٍ. ٢٢ 22
And they sacrifice sacrifices of thanksgiving, And recount His works with singing.
اَلنَّازِلُونَ إِلَى ٱلْبَحْرِ فِي ٱلسُّفُنِ، ٱلْعَامِلُونَ عَمَلًا فِي ٱلْمِيَاهِ ٱلْكَثِيرَةِ، ٢٣ 23
Those going down [to] the sea in ships, Doing business in many waters,
هُمْ رَأَوْا أَعْمَالَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَعَجَائِبَهُ فِي ٱلْعُمْقِ. ٢٤ 24
They have seen the works of YHWH, And His wonders in the deep.
أَمَرَ فَأَهَاجَ رِيحًا عَاصِفَةً فَرَفَعَتْ أَمْوَاجَهُ. ٢٥ 25
And He commands, and appoints a storm, And it lifts up its billows,
يَصْعَدُونَ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ، يَهْبِطُونَ إِلَى ٱلْأَعْمَاقِ. ذَابَتْ أَنْفُسُهُمْ بِٱلشَّقَاءِ. ٢٦ 26
They go up [to] the heavens, they go down [to] the depths, Their soul is melted in evil.
يَتَمَايَلُونَ وَيَتَرَنَّحُونَ مِثْلَ ٱلسَّكْرَانِ، وَكُلُّ حِكْمَتِهِمِ ٱبْتُلِعَتْ. ٢٧ 27
They reel to and fro, and move as a drunkard, And all their wisdom is swallowed up.
فَيَصْرُخُونَ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ فِي ضِيقِهِمْ، وَمِنْ شَدَائِدِهِمْ يُخَلِّصُهُمْ. ٢٨ 28
And they cry to YHWH in their adversity, And He brings them out from their distresses.
يُهْدِئُ ٱلْعَاصِفَةَ فَتَسْكُنُ، وَتَسْكُتُ أَمْوَاجُهَا. ٢٩ 29
He calms a whirlwind, And their billows are hushed.
فَيَفْرَحُونَ لِأَنَّهُمْ هَدَأُوا، فَيَهْدِيهِمْ إِلَى ٱلْمَرْفَإِ ٱلَّذِي يُرِيدُونَهُ. ٣٠ 30
And they rejoice because they are quiet, And He leads them to the haven of their desire.
فَلْيَحْمَدُوا ٱلرَّبَّ عَلَى رَحْمَتِهِ وَعَجَائِبِهِ لِبَنِي آدَمَ. ٣١ 31
They confess to YHWH His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men,
وَلْيَرْفَعُوهُ فِي مَجْمَعِ ٱلشَّعْبِ، وَلْيُسَبِّحُوهُ فِي مَجْلِسِ ٱلْمَشَايِخِ. ٣٢ 32
And they exalt Him in [the] assembly of [the] people, And praise Him in [the] seat of [the] elderly.
يَجْعَلُ ٱلْأَنْهَارَ قِفَارًا، وَمَجَارِيَ ٱلْمِيَاهِ مَعْطَشَةً، ٣٣ 33
He makes rivers become a wilderness, And fountains of waters become dry land.
وَٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلْمُثْمِرَةَ سَبِخَةً مِنْ شَرِّ ٱلسَّاكِنِينَ فِيهَا. ٣٤ 34
A fruitful land becomes a barren place, For the wickedness of its inhabitants.
يَجْعَلُ ٱلْقَفْرَ غَدِيرَ مِيَاهٍ، وَأَرْضًا يَبَسًا يَنَابِيعَ مِيَاهٍ. ٣٥ 35
He makes a wilderness become a pool of water, And a dry land become fountains of waters.
وَيُسْكِنُ هُنَاكَ ٱلْجِيَاعَ فَيُهَيِّئُونَ مَدِينَةَ سَكَنٍ. ٣٦ 36
And He causes the hungry to dwell there, And they prepare a city of habitation.
وَيَزْرَعُونَ حُقُولًا وَيَغْرِسُونَ كُرُومًا، فَتَصْنَعُ ثَمَرَ غَلَّةٍ. ٣٧ 37
And they sow fields, and plant vineyards, And they make fruits of increase.
وَيُبَارِكُهُمْ فَيَكْثُرُونَ جِدًّا، وَلَا يُقَلِّلُ بَهَائِمَهُمْ. ٣٨ 38
And He blesses them, and they multiply exceedingly, And He does not diminish their livestock.
ثُمَّ يَقِلُّونَ وَيَنْحَنُونَ مِنْ ضَغْطِ ٱلشَّرِّ وَٱلْحُزْنِ. ٣٩ 39
And they are diminished, and bow down, By restraint, evil, and sorrow.
يَسْكُبُ هَوَانًا عَلَى رُؤَسَاءَ، وَيُضِلُّهُمْ فِي تِيهٍ بِلَا طَرِيقٍ، ٤٠ 40
He is pouring contempt on nobles, And causes them to wander in vacancy—no way.
وَيُعَلِّي ٱلْمِسْكِينَ مِنَ ٱلذُّلِّ، وَيَجْعَلُ ٱلْقَبَائِلَ مِثْلَ قُطْعَانِ ٱلْغَنَمِ. ٤١ 41
And sets the needy on high from affliction, And places families as a flock.
يَرَى ذَلِكَ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمُونَ فَيَفْرَحُونَ، وَكُلُّ إِثْمٍ يَسُدُّ فَاهُ. ٤٢ 42
The upright see and rejoice, And all perversity has shut her mouth.
مَنْ كَانَ حَكِيمًا يَحْفَظُ هَذَا، وَيَتَعَقَّلُ مَرَاحِمَ ٱلرَّبِّ. ٤٣ 43
Who [is] wise, and observes these? They understand the kind acts of YHWH!
