< اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 124 >
تَرْنِيمَةُ ٱلْمَصَاعِدِ. لِدَاوُدَ «لَوْلَا ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ لَنَا». لِيَقُلْ إِسْرَائِيلُ: | ١ 1 |
A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. A psalm of David. If the Lord hadn't been for us, what would have happened? Let everyone in Israel say:
«لَوْلَا ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ لَنَا عِنْدَ مَا قَامَ ٱلنَّاسُ عَلَيْنَا، | ٢ 2 |
If the Lord hadn't been for us, what would have happened when people came and attacked us?
إِذًا لَٱبْتَلَعُونَا أَحْيَاءً عِنْدَ ٱحْتِمَاءِ غَضَبِهِمْ عَلَيْنَا، | ٣ 3 |
They would have swallowed us alive when their anger raged against us.
إِذًا لَجَرَفَتْنَا ٱلْمِيَاهُ، لَعَبَرَ ٱلسَّيْلُ عَلَى أَنْفُسِنَا. | ٤ 4 |
Like a flood they would have swept over us; like a rushing torrent they would have submerged us.
إِذًا لَعَبَرَتْ عَلَى أَنْفُسِنَا ٱلْمِيَاهُ ٱلطَّامِيَةُ». | ٥ 5 |
They would have rushed over us like raging waters, drowning us.
مُبَارَكٌ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلَّذِي لَمْ يُسْلِمْنَا فَرِيسَةً لِأَسْنَانِهِمْ. | ٦ 6 |
Praise the Lord, who didn't hand us over to them as prey to be ripped apart by their teeth.
ٱنْفَلَتَتْ أَنْفُسُنَا مِثْلَ ٱلْعُصْفُورِ مِنْ فَخِّ ٱلصَّيَّادِينَ. ٱلْفَخُّ ٱنْكَسَرَ، وَنَحْنُ ٱنْفَلَتْنَا. | ٧ 7 |
We escaped from them like a bird flying out of a hunter's trap. The trap was broken and we flew away!
عَوْنُنَا بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ، ٱلصَّانِعِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ. | ٨ 8 |
Our help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
