اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 81

١ 1 لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ عَلَى «ٱلْجَتِّيَّةِ». لِآسَافَ رَنِّمُوا لِلهِ قُوَّتِنَا. ٱهْتِفُوا لِإِلَهِ يَعْقُوبَ.

“To the chief musician upon Gittith; by Assaph.” Sing aloud unto God our strength: shout joyfully unto the God of Jacob.

٢ 2 ٱرْفَعُوا نَغْمَةً وَهَاتُوا دُفًّا، عُودًا حُلْوًا مَعَ رَبَابٍ.

Lift up psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.

٣ 3 ٱنْفُخُوا فِي رَأْسِ ٱلشَّهْرِ بِٱلْبُوقِ، عِنْدَ ٱلْهِلَالِ لِيَوْمِ عِيدِنَا.

Blow on the new moon the cornet, at the time appointed, on the day of our feast.

٤ 4 لِأَنَّ هَذَا فَرِيضَةٌ لِإِسْرَائِيلَ، حُكْمٌ لِإِلَهِ يَعْقُوبَ.

For this is a statute for Israel, an ordinance by the God of Jacob.

٥ 5 جَعَلَهُ شَهَادَةً فِي يُوسُفَ عِنْدَ خُرُوجِهِ عَلَى أَرْضِ مِصْرَ. سَمِعْتُ لِسَانًا لَمْ أَعْرِفْهُ:

As a testimony in Joseph did he ordain it, when he went out over the land of Egypt. The language of one I had not known did I hear.

٦ 6 «أَبْعَدْتُ مِنَ ٱلْحِمْلِ كَتِفَهُ. يَدَاهُ تَحَوَّلَتَا عَنِ ٱلسَّلِّ.

I removed from the burden his shoulder: his hands left behind the burden-basket.

٧ 7 فِي ٱلضِّيقِ دَعَوْتَ فَنَجَّيْتُكَ. ٱسْتَجَبْتُكَ فِي سِتْرِ ٱلرَّعْدِ. جَرَّبْتُكَ عَلَى مَاءِ مَرِيبَةَ. سِلَاهْ.

In distress thou didst call, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret of the thunder: I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. (Selah)

٨ 8 «اِسْمَعْ يَا شَعْبِي فَأُحَذِّرَكَ. يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، إِنْ سَمِعْتَ لِي!

Hear, O my people, and I will give warning unto thee; O Israel, if thou wouldst but hearken unto me!

٩ 9 لَا يَكُنْ فِيكَ إِلَهٌ غَرِيبٌ، وَلَا تَسْجُدْ لِإِلَهٍ أَجْنَبِيٍّ.

There shall not be among thee a foreign God; nor shalt thou bow thyself down to any strange God.

١٠ 10 أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ، ٱلَّذِي أَصْعَدَكَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ. أَفْغِرْ فَاكَ فَأَمْلَأَهُ.

I am the Lord thy God, who have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt: open wide thy mouth, and I will fill it.

١١ 11 فَلَمْ يَسْمَعْ شَعْبِي لِصَوْتِي، وَإِسْرَائِيلُ لَمْ يَرْضَ بِي.

But my people did not hearken to my voice; and Israel was not willing [to follow] me.

١٢ 12 فَسَلَّمْتُهُمْ إِلَى قَسَاوَةِ قُلُوبِهِمْ، لِيَسْلُكُوا فِي مُؤَامَرَاتِ أَنْفُسِهِمْ.

So I let them go in the stubbornness of their own hearts: and they walked in their own counsels.

١٣ 13 لَوْ سَمِعَ لِي شَعْبِي، وَسَلَكَ إِسْرَائِيلُ فِي طُرُقِي،

Oh that my people would hearken unto me, that Israel would walk in my ways!

١٤ 14 سَرِيعًا كُنْتُ أُخْضِعُ أَعْدَاءَهُمْ، وَعَلَى مُضَايِقِيهِمْ كُنْتُ أَرُدُّ يَدِي.

In a little while would I subdue their enemies, and against their adversaries would I turn my hand.

١٥ 15 مُبْغِضُو ٱلرَّبِّ يَتَذَلَّلُونَ لَهُ، وَيَكُونُ وَقْتُهُمْ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ.

The haters of the Lord should offer flattery unto him; but their time should endure for ever.

١٦ 16 وَكَانَ أَطْعَمَهُ مِنْ شَحْمِ ٱلْحِنْطَةِ، وَمِنَ ٱلصَّخْرَةِ كُنْتُ أُشْبِعُكَ عَسَلًا».

And he would feed him with the best of wheat: and out of the rock would I satisfy thee with honey.
