< اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 107 >

اِحْمَدُوا ٱلرَّبَّ لِأَنَّهُ صَالِحٌ، لِأَنَّ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ رَحْمَتَهُ. ١ 1
'Give ye thanks to Jehovah, For good, for to the age [is] His kindness:'
لِيَقُلْ مَفْدِيُّو ٱلرَّبِّ، ٱلَّذِينَ فَدَاهُمْ مِنْ يَدِ ٱلْعَدُوِّ، ٢ 2
Let the redeemed of Jehovah say, Whom He redeemed from the hand of an adversary.
وَمِنَ ٱلْبُلْدَانِ جَمَعَهُمْ، مِنَ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ وَمِنَ ٱلْمَغْرِبِ، مِنَ ٱلشِّمَالِ وَمِنَ ٱلْبَحْرِ. ٣ 3
And from the lands hath gathered them, 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, A city of habitation they have not found.
جِيَاعٌ عِطَاشٌ أَيْضًا أَعْيَتْ أَنْفُسُهُمْ فِيهِمْ. ٥ 5
Hungry — yea — thirsty, Their soul in them becometh feeble,
فَصَرَخُوا إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ فِي ضِيقِهِمْ، فَأَنْقَذَهُمْ مِنْ شَدَائِدِهِمْ، ٦ 6
And they cry unto Jehovah in their adversity, From their distress He delivereth them,
وَهَدَاهُمْ طَرِيقًا مُسْتَقِيمًا لِيَذْهَبُوا إِلَى مَدِينَةِ سَكَنٍ. ٧ 7
And causeth them to tread in a right way, To go unto a city of habitation.
فَلْيَحْمَدُوا ٱلرَّبَّ عَلَى رَحْمَتِهِ وَعَجَائِبِهِ لِبَنِي آدَمَ. ٨ 8
They confess to Jehovah His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men.
لِأَنَّهُ أَشْبَعَ نَفْسًا مُشْتَهِيَةً وَمَلَأَ نَفْسًا جَائِعَةً خَيْرًا، ٩ 9
For He hath satisfied a longing soul, And a hungry soul hath filled [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 the counsel of the Most High despised.
فَأَذَلَّ قُلُوبَهُمْ بِتَعَبٍ. عَثَرُوا وَلَا مَعِينَ. ١٢ 12
And He humbleth with labour their heart, They have been feeble, and there is no helper.
ثُمَّ صَرَخُوا إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ فِي ضِيقِهِمْ، فَخَلَّصَهُمْ مِنْ شَدَائِدِهِمْ. ١٣ 13
And they cry unto Jehovah in their adversity, From their distresses He saveth them.
أَخْرَجَهُمْ مِنَ ٱلظُّلْمَةِ وَظِلَالِ ٱلْمَوْتِ، وَقَطَّعَ قُيُودَهُمْ. ١٤ 14
He bringeth them out from the dark place, And death-shade, And their bands He draweth away.
فَلْيَحْمَدُوا ٱلرَّبَّ عَلَى رَحْمَتِهِ وَعَجَائِبِهِ لِبَنِي آدَمَ. ١٥ 15
They confess to Jehovah His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men.
لِأَنَّهُ كَسَّرَ مَصَارِيعَ نُحَاسٍ، وَقَطَّعَ عَوَارِضَ حَدِيدٍ. ١٦ 16
For He hath broken doors of brass, And bars of iron He hath cut.
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
All food doth their soul abominate, And they come nigh unto the gates of death,
فَصَرَخُوا إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ فِي ضِيقِهِمْ، فَخَلَّصَهُمْ مِنْ شَدَائِدِهِمْ. ١٩ 19
And cry unto Jehovah in their adversity, From their distresses He saveth them,
أَرْسَلَ كَلِمَتَهُ فَشَفَاهُمْ، وَنَجَّاهُمْ مِنْ تَهْلُكَاتِهِمْ. ٢٠ 20
He sendeth His word and healeth them, And delivereth from their destructions.
فَلْيَحْمَدُوا ٱلرَّبَّ عَلَى رَحْمَتِهِ وَعَجَائِبِهِ لِبَنِي آدَمَ. ٢١ 21
They confess to Jehovah 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 Jehovah, And His wonders in the deep.
أَمَرَ فَأَهَاجَ رِيحًا عَاصِفَةً فَرَفَعَتْ أَمْوَاجَهُ. ٢٥ 25
And He saith, and appointeth a tempest, And it lifteth 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 in evil is melted.
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 Jehovah in their adversity, And from their distresses He bringeth them out.
يُهْدِئُ ٱلْعَاصِفَةَ فَتَسْكُنُ، وَتَسْكُتُ أَمْوَاجُهَا. ٢٩ 29
He establisheth a whirlwind to a calm, And hushed are their billows.
فَيَفْرَحُونَ لِأَنَّهُمْ هَدَأُوا، فَيَهْدِيهِمْ إِلَى ٱلْمَرْفَإِ ٱلَّذِي يُرِيدُونَهُ. ٣٠ 30
And they rejoice because they are quiet, And He leadeth them to the haven of their desire.
فَلْيَحْمَدُوا ٱلرَّبَّ عَلَى رَحْمَتِهِ وَعَجَائِبِهِ لِبَنِي آدَمَ. ٣١ 31
They confess to Jehovah 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 in the seat of the elders praise Him.
يَجْعَلُ ٱلْأَنْهَارَ قِفَارًا، وَمَجَارِيَ ٱلْمِيَاهِ مَعْطَشَةً، ٣٣ 33
He maketh rivers become a wilderness, And fountains of waters become dry land.
وَٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلْمُثْمِرَةَ سَبِخَةً مِنْ شَرِّ ٱلسَّاكِنِينَ فِيهَا. ٣٤ 34
A fruitful land becometh a barren place, For the wickedness of its inhabitants.
يَجْعَلُ ٱلْقَفْرَ غَدِيرَ مِيَاهٍ، وَأَرْضًا يَبَسًا يَنَابِيعَ مِيَاهٍ. ٣٥ 35
He maketh 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 causeth 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 blesseth them, and they multiply exceedingly, And their cattle He doth not diminish.
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 upon nobles, And causeth them to wander in vacancy — no way.
وَيُعَلِّي ٱلْمِسْكِينَ مِنَ ٱلذُّلِّ، وَيَجْعَلُ ٱلْقَبَائِلَ مِثْلَ قُطْعَانِ ٱلْغَنَمِ. ٤١ 41
And setteth on high the needy from affliction, And placeth families as a flock.
يَرَى ذَلِكَ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمُونَ فَيَفْرَحُونَ، وَكُلُّ إِثْمٍ يَسُدُّ فَاهُ. ٤٢ 42
The upright do see and rejoice, And all perversity hath shut her mouth.
مَنْ كَانَ حَكِيمًا يَحْفَظُ هَذَا، وَيَتَعَقَّلُ مَرَاحِمَ ٱلرَّبِّ. ٤٣ 43
Who [is] wise, and observeth these? They understand the kind acts of Jehovah!
