< اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 124 >
تَرْنِيمَةُ ٱلْمَصَاعِدِ. لِدَاوُدَ «لَوْلَا ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ لَنَا». لِيَقُلْ إِسْرَائِيلُ: | ١ 1 |
“A song of the degrees by David.” If it had not been the Lord who was for us, so should Israel say;
«لَوْلَا ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ لَنَا عِنْدَ مَا قَامَ ٱلنَّاسُ عَلَيْنَا، | ٢ 2 |
If it had not been the Lord who was for us, when men rose up against us:
إِذًا لَٱبْتَلَعُونَا أَحْيَاءً عِنْدَ ٱحْتِمَاءِ غَضَبِهِمْ عَلَيْنَا، | ٣ 3 |
Then would they have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us;
إِذًا لَجَرَفَتْنَا ٱلْمِيَاهُ، لَعَبَرَ ٱلسَّيْلُ عَلَى أَنْفُسِنَا. | ٤ 4 |
Then would the waters have overwhelmed us, the stream would have passed over our soul;
إِذًا لَعَبَرَتْ عَلَى أَنْفُسِنَا ٱلْمِيَاهُ ٱلطَّامِيَةُ». | ٥ 5 |
Then would have passed over our soul the presumptuous waters.
مُبَارَكٌ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلَّذِي لَمْ يُسْلِمْنَا فَرِيسَةً لِأَسْنَانِهِمْ. | ٦ 6 |
Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us up as a prey to their teeth.
ٱنْفَلَتَتْ أَنْفُسُنَا مِثْلَ ٱلْعُصْفُورِ مِنْ فَخِّ ٱلصَّيَّادِينَ. ٱلْفَخُّ ٱنْكَسَرَ، وَنَحْنُ ٱنْفَلَتْنَا. | ٧ 7 |
Our soul is escaped like a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.
عَوْنُنَا بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ، ٱلصَّانِعِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ. | ٨ 8 |
Our help is in the name of the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.
