< اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 18 >

لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ. لِعَبْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ دَاوُدَ ٱلَّذِي كَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبَّ بِكَلَامِ هَذَا ٱلنَّشِيدِ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلَّذِي أَنْقَذَهُ فِيهِ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ أَيْدِي كُلِّ أَعْدَائِهِ وَمِنْ يَدِ شَاوُلَ. فَقَالَ: أُحِبُّكَ يَارَبُّ، يَا قُوَّتِي. ١ 1
Yahweh, I love you, the one who enables me to be strong.
ٱلرَّبُّ صَخْرَتِي وَحِصْنِي وَمُنْقِذِي. إِلَهِي صَخْرَتِي بِهِ أَحْتَمِي. تُرْسِي وَقَرْنُ خَلَاصِي وَمَلْجَإِي. ٢ 2
Yahweh is like an [overhanging] rock [DOU, MET] [under which I can hide from my enemies]; he is like a strong fortress, the one who protects me; he protects me like a shield [MET] [protects a soldier]; he is the one to whom I go (for refuge/to be protected/safe), and he defends me by his great power [IDM].
أَدْعُو ٱلرَّبَّ ٱلْحَمِيدَ، فَأَتَخَلَّصُ مِنْ أَعْدَائِي. ٣ 3
I called out to Yahweh, who deserves to be praised, and he rescued me from my enemies.
اِكْتَنَفَتْنِي حِبَالُ ٱلْمَوْتِ، وَسُيُولُ ٱلْهَلَاكِ أَفْزَعَتْنِي. ٤ 4
All around me were dangerous situations in which I might be killed [PRS]; it was as though there were huge waves [MET] that almost crashed on me and killed me.
حِبَالُ ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ حَاقَتْ بِي. أَشْرَاكُ ٱلْمَوْتِ ٱنْتَشَبَتْ بِي. (Sheol h7585) ٥ 5
[It was as though] the place where dead people are had ropes that were wrapped around me, or [it was as though] there was a trap [MET] that would [seize and] kill me. (Sheol h7585)
فِي ضِيقِي دَعَوْتُ ٱلرَّبَّ، وَإِلَى إِلَهِي صَرَخْتُ، فَسَمِعَ مِنْ هَيْكَلِهِ صَوْتِي، وَصُرَاخِي قُدَّامَهُ دَخَلَ أُذُنَيْهِ. ٦ 6
But when I was very distressed, I called out to Yahweh, and from his temple he heard me. He listened to me when I cried out [for help].
فَٱرْتَجَّتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَٱرْتَعَشَتْ، أُسُسُ ٱلْجِبَالِ ٱرْتَعَدَتْ وَٱرْتَجَّتْ لِأَنَّهُ غَضِبَ. ٧ 7
Then the earth quaked/shook strongly [DOU]; the mountains shook very strongly from their centers [DOU] because Yahweh was angry.
صَعِدَ دُخَانٌ مِنْ أَنْفِهِ، وَنَارٌ مِنْ فَمِهِ أَكَلَتْ. جَمْرٌ ٱشْتَعَلَتْ مِنْهُ. ٨ 8
[It was as though] smoke poured out from his nostrils, and [as though] burning coals came out of his mouth.
طَأْطَأَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَنَزَلَ، وَضَبَابٌ تَحْتَ رِجْلَيْهِ. ٩ 9
He opened the sky and came down with a black cloud under his feet.
رَكِبَ عَلَى كَرُوبٍ وَطَارَ، وَهَفَّ عَلَى أَجْنِحَةِ ٱلرِّيَاحِ. ١٠ 10
He flew, riding on the back of a creature that had wings, traveling [fast], blown along by the wind.
جَعَلَ ٱلظُّلْمَةَ سِتْرَهُ. حَوْلَهُ مِظَلَّتَهُ ضَبَابَ ٱلْمِيَاهِ وَظَلَامَ ٱلْغَمَامِ. ١١ 11
Darkness was all around him [like a blanket] [MET]; dark clouds, full of moisture, covered him [MET].
مِنَ ٱلشُّعَاعِ قُدَّامَهُ عَبَرَتْ سُحُبُهُ. بَرَدٌ وَجَمْرُ نَارٍ. ١٢ 12
Hailstones and flashes of lightning were around him; hail and burning coals fell from the sky.
أَرْعَدَ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ، وَٱلْعَلِيُّ أَعْطَى صَوْتَهُ، بَرَدًا وَجَمْرَ نَارٍ. ١٣ 13
Then Yahweh [spoke in a loud voice] from the sky, and [his enemies] heard his voice that sounded like thunder.
أَرْسَلَ سِهَامَهُ فَشَتَّتَهُمْ، وَبُرُوقًا كَثِيرَةً فَأَزْعَجَهُمْ، ١٤ 14
He shot his arrows at them and caused them to scatter; His flashes of lightning caused them to become very confused (OR, to run away).
فَظَهَرَتْ أَعْمَاقُ ٱلْمِيَاهِ، وَٱنْكَشَفَتْ أُسُسُ ٱلْمَسْكُونَةِ مِنْ زَجْرِكَ يَارَبُّ، مِنْ نَسْمَةِ رِيحِ أَنْفِكَ. ١٥ 15
The bottom of the ocean became visible, and the foundations of the earth were uncovered, when Yahweh rebuked his enemies when he snorted.
أَرْسَلَ مِنَ ٱلْعُلَى فَأَخَذَنِي. نَشَلَنِي مِنْ مِيَاهٍ كَثِيرَةٍ. ١٦ 16
[It was as though] he reached down from heaven and grabbed me and pulled me up out of the deep ocean.
أَنْقَذَنِي مِنْ عَدُوِّي ٱلْقَوِيِّ، وَمِنْ مُبْغِضِيَّ لِأَنَّهُمْ أَقْوَى مِنِّي. ١٧ 17
He rescued me from my strong enemies who hated me; they were very strong, with the result that I [could not defeat them].
أَصَابُونِي فِي يَوْمِ بَلِيَّتِي، وَكَانَ ٱلرَّبُّ سَنَدِي. ١٨ 18
When I (was distressed/had troubles), they attacked me, but Yahweh defended/protected me.
أَخْرَجَنِي إِلَى ٱلرُّحْبِ. خَلَّصَنِي لِأَنَّهُ سُرَّ بِي. ١٩ 19
He led me to a place where I was safe; he rescued me because he was pleased with me.
يُكَافِئُنِي ٱلرَّبُّ حَسَبَ بِرِّي. حَسَبَ طَهَارَةِ يَدَيَّ يَرُدُّ لِي. ٢٠ 20
Yahweh has rewarded me because I do what is right; he has blessed me because I (am innocent/have not done things that are wrong).
لِأَنِّي حَفِظْتُ طُرُقَ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَلَمْ أَعْصِ إِلَهِي. ٢١ 21
I have obeyed Yahweh’s laws; I have not abandoned him.
لِأَنَّ جَمِيعَ أَحْكَامِهِ أَمَامِي، وَفَرَائِضَهُ لَمْ أُبْعِدْهَا عَنْ نَفْسِي. ٢٢ 22
My behavior was directed by his rules; I have not stopped obeying them.
وَأَكُونُ كَامِلًا مَعَهُ وَأَتَحَفَّظُ مِنْ إِثْمِي. ٢٣ 23
He knows that I have not done what is wrong; I have kept myself from sinning.
فَيَرُدُّ ٱلرَّبُّ لِي كَبِرِّي، وَكَطَهَارَةِ يَدَيَّ أَمَامَ عَيْنَيْهِ. ٢٤ 24
So he rewards me because I do what is right; he knows that I [SYN] have not committed sins.
مَعَ ٱلرَّحِيمِ تَكُونُ رَحِيمًا. مَعَ ٱلرَّجُلِ ٱلْكَامِلِ تَكُونُ كَامِلًا. ٢٥ 25
Yahweh, you are faithful to those who faithfully [do what you tell them to do]; you always do what is good/right to those who do what you want them to do.
مَعَ ٱلطَّاهِرِ تَكُونُ طَاهِرًا، وَمَعَ ٱلْأَعْوَجِ تَكُونُ مُلْتَوِيًا. ٢٦ 26
You are kind to those who are kind to others, but you act wisely toward those who (act perversely/do bad things).
لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ تُخَلِّصُ ٱلشَّعْبَ ٱلْبَائِسَ، وَٱلْأَعْيُنُ ٱلْمُرْتَفِعَةُ تَضَعُهَا. ٢٧ 27
You save those who are humble, but you cause those who are proud to be humiliated/ashamed.
لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ تُضِيءُ سِرَاجِي. ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهِي يُنِيرُ ظُلْمَتِي. ٢٨ 28
You give light to my [soul/spirit]; you take away the darkness of my soul.
لِأَنِّي بِكَ ٱقْتَحَمْتُ جَيْشًا، وَبِإِلَهِي تَسَوَّرْتُ أَسْوَارًا. ٢٩ 29
You enable me to be strong, with the result that I can run and attack a line of enemy soldiers; with your help I can (scale/climb up) the walls [that surround my enemies’ cities].
ٱللهُ طَرِيقُهُ كَامِلٌ. قَوْلُ ٱلرَّبِّ نَقِيٌّ. تُرْسٌ هُوَ لِجَمِيعِ ٱلْمُحْتَمِينَ بِهِ. ٣٠ 30
Everything that Yahweh my God does is perfect. We can depend on him to do what he promises. He is like a shield [MET] to protect all those who go to him for refuge.
لِأَنَّهُ مَنْ هُوَ إِلَهٌ غَيْرُ ٱلرَّبِّ؟ وَمَنْ هُوَ صَخْرَةٌ سِوَى إِلَهِنَا؟ ٣١ 31
Yahweh is [RHQ] the only one who is God; only he is like an [overhanging] rock [under which we can be safe].
ٱلْإِلَهُ ٱلَّذِي يُمَنْطِقُنِي بِٱلْقُوَّةِ وَيُصَيِّرُ طَرِيقِي كَامِلًا. ٣٢ 32
God is the one who enables me to be strong and who keeps me safe on the roads that I walk on.
ٱلَّذِي يَجْعَلُ رِجْلَيَّ كَٱلْإِيَّلِ، وَعَلَى مُرْتَفِعَاتِي يُقِيمُنِي. ٣٣ 33
He enables me to [walk swiftly without stumbling], like a deer walks/runs in the mountains.
ٱلَّذِي يُعَلِّمُ يَدَيَّ ٱلْقِتَالَ، فَتُحْنَى بِذِرَاعَيَّ قَوْسٌ مِنْ نُحَاسٍ. ٣٤ 34
He teaches me how to use a strong/metal bow in order that I can use it to fight in battles.
وَتَجْعَلُ لِي تُرْسَ خَلَاصِكَ وَيَمِينُكَ تَعْضُدُنِي، وَلُطْفُكَ يُعَظِّمُنِي. ٣٥ 35
Yahweh, you protect and save me with your shield; you have made me safe by your power [MTY]. I have become (strong/a great [king]) because you have helped me.
تُوَسِّعُ خُطُوَاتِي تَحْتِي، فَلَمْ تَتَقَلْقَلْ عَقِبَايَ. ٣٦ 36
You have cleared the road for me, with the result that now I do not slip/stumble.
أَتْبَعُ أَعْدَائِي فَأُدْرِكُهُمْ، وَلَا أَرْجِعُ حَتَّى أُفْنِيَهُمْ. ٣٧ 37
I have pursued my enemies and caught them; I did not stop until I had defeated/killed them all.
أَسْحَقُهُمْ فَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ ٱلْقِيَامَ. يَسْقُطُونَ تَحْتَ رِجْلَيَّ. ٣٨ 38
When I strike them, they are not able to get up again; they lie on the ground, defeated.
تُمَنْطِقُنِي بِقُوَّةٍ لِلْقِتَالِ. تَصْرَعُ تَحْتِي ٱلْقَائِمِينَ عَلَيَّ. ٣٩ 39
You have enabled me to be strong in order that I can fight battles and defeat my enemies.
وَتُعْطِينِي أَقْفِيَةَ أَعْدَائِي، وَمُبْغِضِيَّ أُفْنِيهِمْ. ٤٠ 40
You caused my enemies to run away (OR, you enabled me to put my foot on my enemies’ necks [after I captured them and forced them to lie on the ground]); I have gotten rid of all those who hated me.
يَصْرُخُونَ وَلَا مُخَلِّصَ. إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ فَلَا يَسْتَجِيبُ لَهُمْ. ٤١ 41
They called out for someone to help them, but no one saved them.
فَأَسْحَقُهُمْ كَٱلْغُبَارِ قُدَّامَ ٱلرِّيحِ. مِثْلَ طِينِ ٱلْأَسْوَاقِ أَطْرَحُهُمْ. ٤٢ 42
I pulverize them, with the result that they become like [MET] the dust that the wind [blows away]; I throw them out like [SIM] [people throw] dirt out into the streets.
تُنْقِذُنِي مِنْ مُخَاصَمَاتِ ٱلشَّعْبِ. تَجْعَلُنِي رَأْسًا لِلْأُمَمِ. شَعْبٌ لَمْ أَعْرِفْهُ يَتَعَبَّدُ لِي. ٤٣ 43
You enabled me to defeat those who fought against me, and appointed me to be the ruler of [many]; people whom I did not know about previously are now slaves [in my kingdom].
مِنْ سَمَاعِ ٱلْأُذُنِ يَسْمَعُونَ لِي. بَنُو ٱلْغُرَبَاءِ يَتَذَلَّلُونَ لِي. ٤٤ 44
When foreigners hear about me, they (cringe/bow low before me) and they obey me.
بَنُو ٱلْغُرَبَاءِ يَبْلَوْنَ وَيَزْحَفُونَ مِنْ حُصُونِهِمْ. ٤٥ 45
They are no longer courageous, and from their forts [where they were hiding] they come [to me] trembling.
حَيٌّ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَمُبَارَكٌ صَخْرَتِي، وَمُرْتَفِعٌ إِلَهُ خَلَاصِي، ٤٦ 46
Yahweh is alive! Praise the one who is like an [overhanging] rock [MET] [under which I am safe] Exalt the God who saves me!
ٱلْإِلَهُ ٱلْمُنْتَقِمُ لِي، وَٱلَّذِي يُخْضِعُ ٱلشُّعُوبَ تَحْتِي. ٤٧ 47
He enables me to get revenge on my enemies; he causes me to defeat nations and to rule over them,
مُنَجِّيَّ مِنْ أَعْدَائِي. رَافِعِي أَيْضًا فَوْقَ ٱلْقَائِمِينَ عَلَيَّ. مِنَ ٱلرَّجُلِ ٱلظَّالِمِ تُنْقِذُنِي. ٤٨ 48
and he rescues me from my enemies. He has lifted me up high so that violent men could not reach me [and harm me].
لِذَلِكَ أَحْمَدُكَ يَارَبُّ فِي ٱلْأُمَمِ، وَأُرَنِّمُ لِٱسْمِكَ. ٤٩ 49
So I praise him [and I tell] the nations [the great things that he has done].
بُرْجُ خَلَاصٍ لِمَلِكِهِ، وَٱلصَّانِعُ رَحْمَةً لِمَسِيحِهِ، لِدَاوُدَ وَنَسْلِهِ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. ٥٠ 50
He has enabled me, his king, to powerfully defeat my enemies; he faithfully loves me, David, the one he has chosen [to be king], and he will faithfully love my descendants forever.
