< اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 19 >
لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ. مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ اَلسَّمَاوَاتُ تُحَدِّثُ بِمَجْدِ ٱللهِ، وَٱلْفَلَكُ يُخْبِرُ بِعَمَلِ يَدَيْهِ. | ١ 1 |
For the music director. A psalm of David. The heavens declare God's glory; the skies above announce what he has made.
يَوْمٌ إِلَى يَوْمٍ يُذِيعُ كَلَامًا، وَلَيْلٌ إِلَى لَيْلٍ يُبْدِي عِلْمًا. | ٢ 2 |
Each day speaks constantly about God's glory to the next day; each night shares knowledge of God with the next night.
لَا قَوْلَ وَلَا كَلَامَ. لَا يُسْمَعُ صَوْتُهُمْ. | ٣ 3 |
They speak without speech or words; their voice is not audible;
فِي كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ خَرَجَ مَنْطِقُهُمْ، وَإِلَى أَقْصَى ٱلْمَسْكُونَةِ كَلِمَاتُهُمْ. جَعَلَ لِلشَّمْسِ مَسْكَنًا فِيهَا، | ٤ 4 |
Yet what they say is heard all over the earth; their message goes to the whole world. God has made a home in the heavens for the sun.
وَهِيَ مِثْلُ ٱلْعَرُوسِ ٱلْخَارِجِ مِنْ حَجَلَتِهِ. يَبْتَهِجُ مِثْلَ ٱلْجَبَّارِ لِلسِّبَاقِ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ. | ٥ 5 |
It's like a bridegroom coming out of his room, like a fit athlete happy to run a race.
مِنْ أَقْصَى ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ خُرُوجُهَا، وَمَدَارُهَا إِلَى أَقَاصِيهَا، وَلَا شَيْءَ يَخْتَفِي مِنْ حَرِّهَا. | ٦ 6 |
It rises on one side of the heavens and travels across to the other. Nothing is hidden from its heat.
نَامُوسُ ٱلرَّبِّ كَامِلٌ يَرُدُّ ٱلنَّفْسَ. شَهَادَاتُ ٱلرَّبِّ صَادِقَةٌ تُصَيِّرُ ٱلْجَاهِلَ حَكِيمًا. | ٧ 7 |
The Lord's law is beneficial, renewing spiritual life. The Lord's teaching is trustworthy, making inexperienced people wise.
وَصَايَا ٱلرَّبِّ مُسْتَقِيمَةٌ تُفَرِّحُ ٱلْقَلْبَ. أَمْرُ ٱلرَّبِّ طَاهِرٌ يُنِيرُ ٱلْعَيْنَيْنِ. | ٨ 8 |
The Lord's instructions are right, making people glad. The Lord's commandments are sincere, helping people see what is good.
خَوْفُ ٱلرَّبِّ نَقِيٌّ ثَابِتٌ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. أَحْكَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ حَقٌّ عَادِلَةٌ كُلُّهَا. | ٩ 9 |
Reverence for the Lord is right, and lasts forever. The Lord's judgments are both true and fair.
أَشْهَى مِنَ ٱلذَّهَبِ وَٱلْإِبْرِيزِ ٱلْكَثِيرِ، وَأَحْلَى مِنَ ٱلْعَسَلِ وَقَطْرِ ٱلشِّهَادِ. | ١٠ 10 |
They are more to be valued than gold, even the finest gold; they are sweeter than honey, even the purest honey coming straight from the honeycomb.
أَيْضًا عَبْدُكَ يُحَذَّرُ بِهَا، وَفِي حِفْظِهَا ثَوَابٌ عَظِيمٌ. | ١١ 11 |
They also warn your servant. By keeping them I'm richly rewarded.
اَلسَّهَوَاتُ مَنْ يَشْعُرُ بِهَا؟ مِنَ ٱلْخَطَايَا ٱلْمُسْتَتِرَةِ أَبْرِئْنِي. | ١٢ 12 |
Who's aware of their own mistakes? Don't punish me for these faults I'm unaware of.
أَيْضًا مِنَ ٱلْمُتَكَبِّرِينَ ٱحْفَظْ عَبْدَكَ فَلَا يَتَسَلَّطُوا عَلَيَّ. حِينَئِذٍ أَكُونُ كَامِلًا وَأَتَبَرَّأُ مِنْ ذَنْبٍ عَظِيمٍ. | ١٣ 13 |
Don't let your servant commit deliberate sins. Don't let them rule over me. Then I will be without fault, innocent of such rebellion.
لِتَكُنْ أَقْوَالُ فَمِي وَفِكْرُ قَلْبِي مَرْضِيَّةً أَمَامَكَ يَارَبُّ، صَخْرَتِي وَوَلِيِّي. | ١٤ 14 |
May you be pleased with the words I speak, and the thoughts I think, Lord my rock and my redeemer.
