اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 81

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

Sing aloud to God, our strength! Make a joyful shout to the God of Jacob [Supplanter]!

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

Raise a song, and bring here the tambourine, the pleasant lyre with the harp.

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

Blow the shofar ·ram horn· at the New Moon, at the full moon, on our feast day.

٤ 4 لِأَنَّ هَذَا فَرِيضَةٌ لِإِسْرَائِيلَ، حُكْمٌ لِإِلَهِ يَعْقُوبَ.

For it is a statute for Israel [God prevails], an judgement of the God of Jacob [Supplanter].

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

He appointed it in Joseph [May he add] for a testimony, when he went out over the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery], I sh'ma ·heard obeyed· a language that I didn’t know.

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

“I removed his shoulder from the burden. His hands were freed from the basket.

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

You called in trouble, and I delivered you. I answered you in the secret place of thunder. I tested you at the waters of Meribah [Quarreling].” (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.

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

“Sh'ma ·Hear obey·, my people, and I will testify to you, Israel [God prevails], if you would listen to me!

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

There shall be no strange deity in you, neither shall you hawa ·bow low, prostrate· to worship any foreign deity.

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

I am Adonai, your God, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery]. Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.

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

But my people didn’t sh'ma ·hear obey· my voice. Israel [God prevails] desired none of me.

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

So I let them go after the stubbornness of their hearts, that they might walk in their own counsels.

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

Oh that my people would sh'ma ·hear obey· me, that Israel [God prevails] would walk in my ways!

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

I would soon subdue their enemies, and turn my hand against their adversaries.

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

The haters of Adonai would cringe before him, and their punishment would last forever.

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

But he would have also fed them with the finest of the wheat. I will satisfy you with honey out of the rock.”
