المَزامِير 115

١ 1 لاَ تُمَجِّدْنَا يَارَبُّ، بَلْ مَجِّدِ اسْمَكَ، مِنْ أَجْلِ رَحْمَتِكَ وَحَقِّكَ.

Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to thy name give glory, because of thy mercy and thy truth;

٢ 2 لِمَاذَا تَسْأَلُنَا الأُمَمُ: أَيْنَ هُوَ إِلَهُكُمْ؟

lest at any time the nations should say, Where is their God?

٣ 3 إِنَّ إِلَهَنَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ. كُلَّ مَا شَاءَ صَنَعَ.

But our God has done in heaven and on earth, whatsoever he has pleased.

٤ 4 أَمَّا أَوْثَانُهُمْ فَهِي فِضَّةٌ وَذَهَبٌ مِنْ صُنْعِ أَيْدِي الْبَشَرِ.

The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the works of men's hands.

٥ 5 لَهَا أَفْوَاهٌ لَكِنَّهَا لاَ تَنْطِقُ. لَهَا عُيُونٌ وَلَكِنَّهَا لاَ تُبْصِرُ.

They have a mouth, but they cannot speak; they have eyes, but they cannot see:

٦ 6 وَآذَانٌ لَكِنَّهَا لاَ تَسْمَعُ. وَأُنُوفٌ لَكِنَّهَا لاَ تَشُمُّ.

they have ears, but they cannot hear; they have noses, but they cannot smell;

٧ 7 لَهَا أَيْدٍ لَكِنَّهَا لاَ تَلْمِسُ. وَأَرْجُلٌ لَكِنَّهَا لاَ تَمْشِي، وَلاَ تُصْدِرُ مِنْ حَنَاجِرِهَا صَوْتاً.

they have hands, but they cannot handle; they have feet, but they cannot walk: they cannot speak through their throat.

٨ 8 مِثْلَهَا يَصِيرُ صَانِعُوهَا وَكُلُّ مَنْ يَتَوَكَّلُ عَلَيْهَا.

Let those that make them become like to them, and all who trust in them.

٩ 9 اتَّكِلُوا عَلَى الرَّبِّ يَابَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، هُوَ عَوْنُكُمْ وَتُرْسُكُمْ.

The house of Israel trusts in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.

١٠ 10 اتَّكِلُوا عَلَى الرَّبِّ يَابَيْتَ هَارُونَ: هُوَ عَوْنُكُمْ وَتُرْسُكُمْ.

The house of Aaron trusts in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.

١١ 11 اتَّكِلُوا عَلَى الرَّبِّ يَاخَائِفِي الرَّبِّ: هُوَ عَوْنُكُمْ وَتُرْسُكُمْ.

They that fear the Lord trust in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.

١٢ 12 الرَّبُّ ذَكَرَنَا وَيُبَارِكُنَا. يُبَارِكُ شَعْبَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، يُبَارِكُ الرَّبُّ آلَ هَارُونَ.

The Lord has remembered us, and blessed us: he has blessed the house of Israel, he has blessed the house of Aaron.

١٣ 13 يُبَارِكُ كُلَّ مَنْ يَتَّقِيهِ، صِغَارَهُمْ وَكِبَارَهُمْ.

He has blessed them that fear the Lord, both small and great.

١٤ 14 لِيَزِدِ الرَّبُّ بَرَكَتَهُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَعَلَى أَوْلاَدِكُمْ.

The Lord add [blessings] to you and to your children.

١٥ 15 لِيُبَارِكْكُمُ الرَّبُّ، خَالِقُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ.

Blessed are ye of the Lord, who made the heaven and the earth.

١٦ 16 السَّمَاوَاتُ لِلرَّبِّ وَحْدَهُ، أَمَّا الأَرْضُ فَوَهَبَهَا لِبَنِي آدَمَ.

The heaven of heavens [belongs] to the Lord: but he has given the earth to the sons of men.

١٧ 17 لاَ يُسَبِّحُ الأَمْوَاتُ الرَّبَّ، وَلاَ الهَاجِعُونَ فِي الْقُبُورِ.

The dead shall not praise thee, O Lord, nor any that go down to Hades.

١٨ 18 أَمَّا نَحْنُ فَنُبَارِكُ الرَّبَّ مِنَ الآنَ وَإِلَى الدَّهْرِ. هَلِّلُويَا.

But we, the living, will bless the Lord, from henceforth and for ever.
