اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 105
| اِحْمَدُوا ٱلرَّبَّ. ٱدْعُوا بِٱسْمِهِ. عَرِّفُوا بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ بِأَعْمَالِهِ. | ١ 1 |
Alleluia. Confess to the Lord, and invoke his name. Announce his works among the nations.
| غَنُّوا لَهُ. رَنِّمُوا لَهُ. أَنْشِدُوا بِكُلِّ عَجَائِبِهِ. | ٢ 2 |
Sing to him, and sing psalms to him. Describe all his wonders.
| ٱفْتَخِرُوا بِٱسْمِهِ ٱلْقُدُّوسِ. لِتَفْرَحْ قُلُوبُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَلْتَمِسُونَ ٱلرَّبَّ. | ٣ 3 |
Be praised in his holy name. Let the heart of those who seek the Lord rejoice.
| اُطْلُبُوا ٱلرَّبَّ وَقُدْرَتَهُ. ٱلْتَمِسُوا وَجْهَهُ دَائِمًا. | ٤ 4 |
Seek the Lord, and be confirmed. Seek his face always.
| ٱذْكُرُوا عَجَائِبَهُ ٱلَّتِي صَنَعَ، آيَاتِهِ وَأَحْكَامَ فِيهِ، | ٥ 5 |
Remember his miracles, which he has done, his portents and the judgments of his mouth:
| يَا ذُرِّيَّةَ إِبْراهِيمَ عَبْدِهِ، يَا بَنِي يَعْقُوبَ مُخْتَارِيهِ. | ٦ 6 |
you offspring of Abraham his servant, you sons of Jacob his elect.
| هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا فِي كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ أَحْكَامُهُ. | ٧ 7 |
He is the Lord our God. His judgments are throughout the entire earth.
| ذَكَرَ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ عَهْدَهُ، كَلَامًا أَوْصَى بِهِ إِلَى أَلْفِ دَوْرٍ، | ٨ 8 |
He has remembered his covenant for all ages: the word that he entrusted to a thousand generations,
| ٱلَّذِي عَاهَدَ بِهِ إِبْراهِيمَ، وَقَسَمَهُ لِإِسْحاقَ، | ٩ 9 |
which he assigned to Abraham, and his oath to Isaac.
| فَثَبَّتَهُ لِيَعْقُوبَ فَرِيضَةً، وَلِإِسْرَائِيلَ عَهْدًا أَبَدِيًّا، | ١٠ 10 |
And he stationed the same for Jacob with a precept, and for Israel with an eternal testament,
| قَائِلًا: «لَكَ أُعْطِي أَرْضَ كَنْعَانَ حَبْلَ مِيرَاثِكُمْ». | ١١ 11 |
saying: To you, I will give the land of Canaan, the allotment of your inheritance.
| إِذْ كَانُوا عَدَدًا يُحْصَى، قَلِيلِينَ وَغُرَبَاءَ فِيهَا. | ١٢ 12 |
Though they may have been but a small number, very few and foreigners there,
| ذَهَبُوا مِنْ أُمَّةٍ إِلَى أُمَّةٍ، مِنْ مَمْلَكَةٍ إِلَى شَعْبٍ آخَرَ. | ١٣ 13 |
and though they passed from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people,
| فَلَمْ يَدَعْ إِنْسَانًا يَظْلِمُهُمْ، بَلْ وَبَّخَ مُلُوكًا مِنْ أَجْلِهِمْ، | ١٤ 14 |
he allowed no man to harm them, and he reproved kings on their behalf.
| قَائِلًا: «لَا تَمَسُّوا مُسَحَائِي، وَلَا تُسِيئُوا إِلَى أَنْبِيَائِي». | ١٥ 15 |
Do not be willing to touch my Christ, and do not be willing to malign my prophets.
| دَعَا بِٱلْجُوعِ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ. كَسَرَ قِوَامَ ٱلْخُبْزِ كُلَّهُ. | ١٦ 16 |
And he called a famine upon the land, and he crushed every foundation of the bread.
| أَرْسَلَ أَمَامَهُمْ رَجُلًا. بِيعَ يُوسُفُ عَبْدًا. | ١٧ 17 |
He sent a man before them: Joseph, who had been sold as a slave.
| آذَوْا بِٱلْقَيْدِ رِجْلَيْهِ. فِي ٱلْحَدِيدِ دَخَلَتْ نَفْسُهُ، | ١٨ 18 |
They humbled his feet in shackles; the iron pierced his soul,
| إِلَى وَقْتِ مَجِيءِ كَلِمَتِهِ. قَوْلُ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱمْتَحَنَهُ. | ١٩ 19 |
until his word arrived. The eloquence of the Lord inflamed him.
| أَرْسَلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ فَحَلَّهُ. أَرْسَلَ سُلْطَانُ ٱلشَّعْبِ فَأَطْلَقَهُ. | ٢٠ 20 |
The king sent and released him; he was the ruler of the people, and he dismissed him.
| أَقَامَهُ سَيِّدًا عَلَى بَيْتِهِ، وَمُسَلَّطًا عَلَى كُلِّ مُلْكِهِ، | ٢١ 21 |
He established him as master of his house and ruler of all his possessions,
| لِيَأْسُرَ رُؤَسَاءَهُ حَسَبَ إِرَادَتِهِ وَيُعَلِّمَ مَشَايِخَهُ حِكْمَةً. | ٢٢ 22 |
so that he might instruct his princes as himself, and teach his elders prudence.
| فَجَاءَ إِسْرَائِيلُ إِلَى مِصْرَ، وَيَعْقُوبُ تَغَرَّبَ فِي أَرْضِ حَامٍ. | ٢٣ 23 |
And Israel entered into Egypt, and Jacob became a sojourner in the land of Ham.
| جَعَلَ شَعْبَهُ مُثْمِرًا جِدًّا، وَأَعَزَّهُ عَلَى أَعْدَائِهِ. | ٢٤ 24 |
And he helped his people greatly, and he strengthened them over their enemies.
| حَوَّلَ قُلُوبَهُمْ لِيُبْغِضُوا شَعْبَهُ، لِيَحْتَالُوا عَلَى عَبِيدِهِ. | ٢٥ 25 |
He turned their heart to hate his people, and to deal deceitfully with his servants.
| أَرْسَلَ مُوسَى عَبْدَهُ وَهارُونَ ٱلَّذِي ٱخْتَارَهُ. | ٢٦ 26 |
He sent Moses, his servant, and Aaron, the one whom he chose.
| أَقَامَا بَيْنَهُمْ كَلَامَ آيَاتِهِ، وَعَجَائِبَ فِي أَرْضِ حَامٍ. | ٢٧ 27 |
He placed with them signs of his word, and portents in the land of Ham.
| أَرْسَلَ ظُلْمَةً فَأَظْلَمَتْ، وَلَمْ يَعْصَوْا كَلَامَهُ. | ٢٨ 28 |
He sent darkness and made it conceal, and he did not afflict them with his speech.
| حَوَّلَ مِيَاهَهُمْ إِلَى دَمٍ وَقَتَلَ أَسْمَاكَهُمْ. | ٢٩ 29 |
He turned their waters into blood, and he slaughtered their fish.
| أَفَاضَتْ أَرْضُهُمْ ضَفَادِعَ حَتَّى فِي مَخَادِعِ مُلُوكِهِمْ. | ٣٠ 30 |
Their land brought forth frogs, even in the inner chambers of their kings.
| أَمَرَ فَجَاءَ ٱلذُّبَّانُ وَٱلْبَعُوضُ فِي كُلِّ تُخُومِهِمْ. | ٣١ 31 |
He spoke, and there came forth common flies and gnats, in every region.
| جَعَلَ أَمْطَارَهُمْ بَرَدًا وَنَارًا مُلْتَهِبَةً فِي أَرْضِهِمْ. | ٣٢ 32 |
He gave them a shower of hail and a burning fire, in the same land.
| ضَرَبَ كُرُومَهُمْ وَتِينَهُمْ، وَكَسَّرَ كُلَّ أَشْجَارِ تُخُومِهِمْ. | ٣٣ 33 |
And he struck their vineyards and their fig trees, and he crushed the trees of their region.
| أَمَرَ فَجَاءَ ٱلْجَرَادُ وَغَوْغَاءُ بِلَا عَدَدٍ، | ٣٤ 34 |
He spoke, and the locust came forth, and the caterpillar, of which there was no number.
| فَأَكَلَ كُلَّ عُشْبٍ فِي بِلَادِهِمْ، وَأَكَلَ أَثْمَارَ أَرْضِهِمْ. | ٣٥ 35 |
And it devoured all the grass in their land, and it consumed all the fruit of their land.
| قَتَلَ كُلَّ بِكْرٍ فِي أَرْضِهِمْ، أَوَائِلَ كُلِّ قُوَّتِهِمْ. | ٣٦ 36 |
And he struck all the first-born in their land, the first-fruits of all their labor.
| فَأَخْرَجَهُمْ بِفِضَّةٍ وَذَهَبٍ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ فِي أَسْبَاطِهِمْ عَاثِرٌ. | ٣٧ 37 |
And he led them out with silver and gold, and there was not an infirm one among their tribes.
| فَرِحَتْ مِصْرُ بِخُرُوجِهِمْ، لِأَنَّ رُعْبَهُمْ سَقَطَ عَلَيْهِمْ. | ٣٨ 38 |
Egypt was joyful at their departure, for the fear of them lay heavy upon them.
| بَسَطَ سَحَابًا سَجْفًا، وَنَارًا لِتُضِيءَ ٱللَّيْلَ. | ٣٩ 39 |
He spread a cloud for their protection, and a fire, to give them light through the night.
| سَأَلُوا فَأَتَاهُمْ بِٱلسَّلْوَى، وَخُبْزَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ أَشْبَعَهُمْ. | ٤٠ 40 |
They petitioned, and the quail came; and he satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
| شَقَّ ٱلصَّخْرَةَ فَٱنْفَجَرَتِ ٱلْمِيَاهُ. جَرَتْ فِي ٱلْيَابِسَةِ نَهْرًا. | ٤١ 41 |
He ruptured the rock and the waters flowed: rivers gushed in the dry land.
| لِأَنَّهُ ذَكَرَ كَلِمَةَ قُدْسِهِ مَعَ إِبْراهِيمَ عَبْدِهِ، | ٤٢ 42 |
For he had called to mind his holy word, which he kept near to his servant Abraham.
| فَأَخْرَجَ شَعْبَهُ بِٱبْتِهَاجٍ، وَمُخْتَارِيهِ بِتَرَنُّمٍ. | ٤٣ 43 |
And he led forth his people in exultation, and his elect in rejoicing.
| وَأَعْطَاهُمْ أَرَاضِيَ ٱلْأُمَمِ، وَتَعَبَ ٱلشُّعُوبِ وَرِثُوهُ، | ٤٤ 44 |
And he gave them the regions of the Gentiles, and they possessed the labors of the peoples,
| لِكَيْ يَحْفَظُوا فَرَائِضَهُ وَيُطِيعُوا شَرَائِعَهُ. هَلِّلُويَا. | ٤٥ 45 |
so that they might observe his justifications, and inquire about his law.
