اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 95

١ 1 هَلُمَّ نُرَنِّمُ لِلرَّبِّ، نَهْتِفُ لِصَخْرَةِ خَلَاصِنَا.

Come, sing to Yahweh; sing joyfully to the one who protects us [MET] and saves us!

٢ 2 نَتَقَدَّمُ أَمَامَهُ بِحَمْدٍ، وَبِتَرْنِيمَاتٍ نَهْتِفُ لَهُ.

We should thank him as we come before him, and sing (joyful songs/joyfully) as we praise him.

٣ 3 لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهٌ عَظِيمٌ، مَلِكٌ كَبِيرٌ عَلَى كُلِّ ٱلْآلِهَةِ.

Because Yahweh is the great God, he is a great king [who rules] over all [other] gods.

٤ 4 ٱلَّذِي بِيَدِهِ مَقَاصِيرُ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَخَزَائِنُ ٱلْجِبَالِ لَهُ.

He rules over the whole earth, from the deepest places/caves to the highest mountains.

٥ 5 ٱلَّذِي لَهُ ٱلْبَحْرُ وَهُوَ صَنَعَهُ، وَيَدَاهُ سَبَكَتَا ٱلْيَابِسَةَ.

The seas are his, because he made them. He is [also] the one who [SYN] formed/made the dry land.

٦ 6 هَلُمَّ نَسْجُدُ وَنَرْكَعُ وَنَجْثُو أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ خَالِقِنَا،

We should come, worship, and bow down before him. We should kneel before Yahweh, the one who made us.

٧ 7 لِأَنَّهُ هُوَ إِلَهُنَا، وَنَحْنُ شَعْبُ مَرْعَاهُ وَغَنَمُ يَدِهِ. ٱلْيَوْمَ إِنْ سَمِعْتُمْ صَوْتَهُ،

He is our God, and we are the people whom he takes care of [MET]; like sheep [that a shepherd] takes care of. Today, listen to what Yahweh is saying to you.

٨ 8 فَلَا تُقَسُّوا قُلُوبَكُمْ، كَمَا فِي مَرِيبَةَ، مِثْلَ يَوْمِ مَسَّةَ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ،

He says, “Do not become stubborn [IDM] like [your ancestors] did at Meribah, and like [they did] at Massah in the desert.

٩ 9 حَيْثُ جَرَّبَنِي آبَاؤُكُمُ. ٱخْتَبَرُونِي. أَبْصَرُوا أَيْضًا فِعْلِي.

There your ancestors (wanted to see/tried to determine) if they could do many very evil things [without my punishing them]. Even though they had seen me perform [many] miracles, they tested whether I [would continue to be patient with them].

١٠ 10 أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً مَقَتُّ ذَلِكَ ٱلْجِيلَ، وَقُلْتُ: «هُمْ شَعْبٌ ضَالٌّ قَلْبُهُمْ، وَهُمْ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوا سُبُلِي».

For 40 years I was angry with those people, and I said, ‘Those people say that they want to please me, but they do things that I detest. They refuse to obey my commands.’

١١ 11 فَأَقْسَمْتُ فِي غَضَبِي: «لَا يَدْخُلُونَ رَاحَتِي».

So because I was very angry, I solemnly said/declared about them: ‘They will never enter [the land of Canaan] where I would have allowed them to rest!’”
