قَصِيدَةٌ تَعْلِيمِيَّةٌ لإِيثَانَ الأَزْرَاحِيِّ أَتَرَنَّمُ بِمَرَاحِمِ الرَّبِّ إِلَى الأَبَدِ، وَأُعْلِنُ بِفَمِي أَمَانَتَكَ مِنْ جِيلٍ إِلَى جِيلٍ، ١ 1
An Instructive Psalm, by Ethan the Ezrahite. The lovingkindnesses of Yahweh, age-abidingly will I sing, To generation after generation, will I make known thy faithfulness with my mouth.
لأَنِّي قُلْتُ إِنَّ مَرَاحِمَكَ ثَابِتَةٌ إِلَى الأَبَدِ، وَقَدْ ثَبَّتَّ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ أَمَانَتَكَ. ٢ 2
For I said, To times age-abiding, shall lovingkindness be built up, As for the heavens, thou wilt establish thy faithfulness therein.
قَدْ قُلْتَ: إِنِّي أَقَمْتُ عَهْداً مَعَ الْمَلِكِ الَّذِي اخْتَرْتُهُ، أَقْسَمْتُ لِدَاوُدَ عَبْدِي. ٣ 3
I have solemnised a covenant, for my chosen one, I have sworn unto David my servant:
أُثَبِّتُ نَسْلَكَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ، وَأُبْقِي عَرْشَكَ قَائِماً مِنْ جِيلٍ إِلَى جِيلٍ. ٤ 4
Unto times age-abiding, will I establish thy seed, And will build up, unto generation after generation, thy throne. (Selah)
السَّمَاوَاتُ نَفْسُهَا تُشِيدُ بِعَجَائِبِكَ أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ، وَالْمَلائِكَةُ الْقِدِّيسُونَ بِأَمَانَتِكَ. ٥ 5
So shall the heavens praise thy wondrousness, O Yahweh, —Yea, thy faithfulness, in the convocation of holy ones.
فَمَنْ فِي السَّمَاءِ يُعَادِلُ الرَّبَّ؟ لَيْسَ بَيْنَ الْكَائِنَاتِ السَّمَاوِيَّةِ مَنْ يُمَاثِلُهُ. ٦ 6
For whom, in the skies, can one compare unto Yahweh? [Or] can one liken unto Yahweh, among the sons of the mighty?
إِنَّهُ إِلَهٌ مَهُوبٌ جِدّاً فِي مَحْفَلِ المَلائِكَةِ الْقِدِّيسِينَ، وَمَخُوفٌ كَثِيراً عِنْدَ جَمِيعِ الْمُحِيطِينَ بِهِ. ٧ 7
A GOD inspiring awe in the circle of the holy ones, exceedingly, And to be reverenced above all who are round about him.
مَنْ مِثْلُكَ أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهَ الْجُنُودِ، الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ، وَأَمَانَتُكَ مُحِيطَةٌ بِكَ؟ ٨ 8
O Yahweh, God of hosts! Who, like thee, is mighty, O Yah! With thy faithfulness round about thee:
أَنْتَ مُتَسَلِّطٌ عَلَى هِيَاجِ الْبَحْرِ، فَتُهَدِّئُ أَمْوَاجَهُ عِنْدَ ارْتِفَاعِهَا. ٩ 9
Thou, rulest over the swelling of the sea, When the rolling waves thereof lift themselves, Thou, dost bid them be still:
أَنْتَ سَحَقْتَ قُوَّةَ مِصْرَ فَصَارَتْ كَقَتِيلٍ. وَبَدَّدْتَ أَعْدَاءَكَ بِقُدْرَتِكَ الْعَظِيمَةِ. ١٠ 10
Thou, hast crushed—as one slain—Rahab, With thy strong arm, hast thou scattered thy foes.
أَنْتَ مَلِكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ أَيْضاً. أَنْتَ مُؤَسِّسُ الْمَسْكُونَةِ وَكُلِّ مَا فِيهَا. ١١ 11
Thine, are the heavens, Yea, thine, the earth, The world and the fulness thereof, Thou, didst found them;
أَنْتَ خَالِقُ الشِّمَالِ وَالْجَنُوبِ، وَبِاسْمِكَ يَتَرَنَّمُ جَبَلَا تَابُورَ وَحَرْمُونَ. ١٢ 12
The north and the south, Thou, didst create them, —Tabor and Hermon, with thy Name, shall shout for joy:
أَنْتَ ذُو الْقُدْرَةِ الْعَظِيمَةِ. يَدُكَ قَوِيَّةٌ وَيُمْنَاكَ رَفِيْعَةٌ. ١٣ 13
Thine is an arm with might, Strong is thy hand, High is thy right hand;
الْبِرُّ وَالْقَضَاءُ قَاعِدَتَا عَرْشِكَ، الرَّحْمَةُ وَالْحَقُّ يَتَقَدَّمَانِ حَضْرَتَكَ. ١٤ 14
Righteousness and justice, are the establishing of thy throne, Lovingkindness and faithfulness, go before thy face.
طُوبَى لِلشَّعْبِ الَّذِي يَسْتَجِيبُ لِهُتَافِ الْبُوقِ فَيَسْلُكُ فِي نُورِ مُحَيَّاكَ أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ. ١٥ 15
How happy are the people who know the joyful sound! O Yahweh! in the light of thy countenance, shall they firmly march along;
بِاسْمِكَ يَبْتَهِجُونَ طُولَ النَّهَارِ، وَبِبِرِّكَ يَسْمُونَ. ١٦ 16
In thy Name, shall they exult all the day, And, in thy righteousness, shall they be exalted.
فَإِنَّكَ أَنْتَ قُوَّتُهُمُ الَّتِي بِها يَفْخَرُونَ، وَبِرِضَاكَ يَعْلُو شَأْنُنَا. ١٧ 17
For, the beauty of their strength, thou art, And, in thine acceptance, shall our horns be exalted.
لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ هُوَ حِمَايَتُنَا، وَمَلِكُنَا هُوَ قُدُّوسُ إِسْرَائِيلَ. ١٨ 18
For, to Yahweh, belongeth our Shield, And, to the Holy One of Israel, belongeth our King.
فَبِالرُّؤْيَا كَلَّمْتَ أَنْبِيَاءَكَ قَدِيماً وَقُلْتَ لِعَبِيدِكَ الأُمَنَاءِ: هَيَّأْتُ عَوْناً لِلْجَبَّارِ وَرَفَّعْتُ شَابّاً مِنَ الشَّعْبِ. ١٩ 19
Then spakest thou in vision of thy men of lovingkindness, and saidst—I have laid help upon a mighty one, I have exalted one chosen from among the people;
وَجَدْتُ دَاوُدَ عَبْدِي فَمَسَحْتُهُ بِزَيْتِي الْمُقَدَّسِ. ٢٠ 20
I have found David my servant, With mine own holy oil, have I anointed him;
أُثَبِّتُهُ بِيَدِي، وَأُشَدِّدُهُ بِقُوَّتِي. ٢١ 21
With whom my hand shall be firm, Yea, mine arm, shall strengthen him;
لَا يَبْتَزُّهُ عَدُوٌّ، وَلَا يُضَايِقُهُ الإِنْسَانُ الأَثِيمُ. ٢٢ 22
No foe shall make exactions on him, Nor shall, a son of perversity, humiliate him;
إِنَّمَا أَسْحَقُ أَعْدَاءَهُ أَمَامَهُ، وَأَصْرَعُ مُبْغِضِيهِ. ٢٣ 23
And I will shatter, from before him, his adversaries, And, them who hate him, will I smite;
أَمَانَتِي وَرَحْمَتِي تُرَافِقَانِهِ، وَبِاسْمِي يَعْلُو شَأْنُهُ. ٢٤ 24
And, my faithfulness and my lovingkindness, shall be with him, And, in my Name, exalted shall be his horn;
أُطْلِقُ يَدَهُ عَلَى الْبِحَارِ وَيَمِينَهُ عَلَى الأَنْهَارِ. ٢٥ 25
And I will set, in the sea, his hand, And, in the rivers, his right hand;
هُوَ يَدْعُونِي قَائِلاً: أَنْتَ أَبِي وَإِلَهِي وَصَخْرَةُ خَلاصِي. ٢٦ 26
He, shall cry out unto me, My Father, thou art, My GOD, and my Rock of Salvation!
أُقِيمُهُ بِكْراً يَسْمُو عَلَى مُلُوكِ الأَرْضِ. ٢٧ 27
Yea, I, will appoint him, firstborn, Most High to the kings of the earth!
أَحْفَظُ رَحْمَتِي لَهُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ، وَيَثْبُتُ لَهُ عَهْدِي. ٢٨ 28
Age-abidingly, will I keep for him my lovingkindness, And, my covenant, hath been made steadfast for him;
أُدِيمُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ نَسْلَهُ وَعَرْشَهُ دَوَامَ السَّمَاوَاتِ. ٢٩ 29
Therefore will I appoint, to futurity, his seed, And his throne as the days of the heavens.
إِنِ انْحَرَفَ بَنُوهُ عَنْ طَاعَةِ شَرِيعَتِي وَلَمْ يَسْلُكُوا وَفْقَ أَحْكَامِي، ٣٠ 30
If his sons forsake my law, And, in my regulations, do not walk;
إِنْ نَقَضُوا فَرَائِضِي وَلَمْ يُرَاعُوا وَصَايَايَ، ٣١ 31
If, my statutes, they profane, And, my commandments, do not keep:
فَإِنِّي أَفْتَقِدُ مَعْصِيَتَهُمْ بِالْعَصَا وَإِثْمَهُمْ بِالْبَلايَا. ٣٢ 32
Then will I punish, with a rod, their transgression; And, with stripes, their iniquity:
وَلَكِنِّي لَا أَنْزِعُ رَحْمَتِي عَنْهُ، وَلَا أَنْكُثُ وَعْدِي. ٣٣ 33
But, my lovingkindness, will I not frustrate from them, Neither will I falsify my faithfulness;
عَهْدِي لَا أَنْقُضُهُ، وَلَا أُبْدِلُ مَا نَطَقَ بِهِ فَمِي. ٣٤ 34
I will not violate my covenant, And that which hath proceeded out of my lips, will I not alter:
فَقَدْ أَقْسَمْتُ بِقَدَاسَتِي مَرَّةً، وَلَا أَكْذِبُ عَلَى دَاوُدَ: ٣٥ 35
One thing, have I sworn by my holiness, Verily, to David, will I not lie;
نَسْلُهُ يَدُومُ إِلَى الدَّهْرِ، وَعَرْشُهُ يَبْقَى أَمَامِي بَقَاءَ الشَّمْسِ. ٣٦ 36
His seed, age-abidingly, shall remain, And, his throne, be like the sun before me;
يَظَلُّ ثَابِتاً إِلَى الأَبَدِ ثَبَاتَ الْقَمَرِ الشَّاهِدِ الأَمِينِ فِي السَّمَاءِ. ٣٧ 37
Like the moon, shall it be established unto times age-abiding, And, a witness, in the skies, hath been made sure. (Selah)
لَكِنَّكَ رَفَضْتَ وَرَذَلْتَ وَغَضِبْتَ عَلَى الْمَلِكِ الَّذِي مَسَحْتَهُ، ٣٨ 38
Yet, thou thyself, hast cast off, and rejected, Thou hast been wroth with thine Anointed One!
وَتَنَكَّرْتَ لِعَهْدِكَ مَعَ عَبْدِكَ، لَطَّخْتَ تَاجَهُ بِالتُّرَابِ. ٣٩ 39
Thou hast cast down the covenant of thy Servant, Thou hast profaned, to the earth, his crown;
هَدَمْتَ كُلَّ أَسْوَارِهِ وَحَوَّلْتَ حُصُونَهُ خَرَاباً. ٤٠ 40
Thou hast broken down all his defenses, Thou hast laid his fortresses in ruins;
نَهَبَهُ كُلُّ عَابِرِي السَّبِيلِ، وَصَارَ هُزْأَةً عِنْدَ جِيرَانِهِ. ٤١ 41
All the passers by the way, have plundered him, He hath become a reproach to his neighbours;
رَفَعْتَ يَمِينَ ظَالِمِيهِ وَأَبْهَجْتَ جَمِيعَ أَعْدَائِهِ. ٤٢ 42
Thou hast raised the right hand of his adversaries, Thou hast gladdened all his enemies;
رَدَدْتَ حَدَّ سَيْفِهِ، وَلَمْ تَنْصُرْهُ فِي الْقِتَالِ. ٤٣ 43
Yea thou hast turned the edge of his sword, Neither hast thou caused him to stand in the battle;
أَبْطَلْتَ بَهَاءَهُ وَطَرَحْتَ عَرْشَهُ أَرْضاً. ٤٤ 44
Thou hast brought to an end his splendour, And, his throne—to the ground, hast thou hurled;
قَصَّرْتَ أَيَّامَ شَبَابِهِ وَغَطَّيْتَهُ بِالْخِزْيِ. ٤٥ 45
Thou hast shortened the days of his youths, —Thou hast covered him with shame. (Selah)
حَتَّى مَتَى يَا رَبُّ؟ هَلْ إِلَى الأَبَدِ تَظَلُّ مُحْتَجِباً عَنِّي، يَتَّقِدُ غَضَبُكَ كَالنَّارِ؟ ٤٦ 46
How long, O Yahweh, Wilt thou hide thyself utterly? Shall thine indignation, burn like fire?
اذْكُرْ قِصَرَ عُمْرِي وَأَنَّكَ خَلَقْتَ كُلَّ بَنِي آدَمَ لِلزَّوَالِ. ٤٧ 47
Remember how short-lived, I, am, Wherefore, in vain, hast thou created all the sons of Adam?
أَيُّ إِنْسَانٍ يَحْيَا وَلَا يَرَى الْمَوْتَ؟ وَمَنْ يُنَجِّي نَفْسَهُ مِنْ قَبْضَةِ الْهَاوِيَةِ؟ (Sheol h7585) ٤٨ 48
Who is the man that shall live, and not see death? That can deliver his soul from the hand of hades. (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
أَيْنَ مَرَاحِمُكَ السَّالِفَةُ يَا رَبُّ، الَّتِي أَقْسَمْتَ فِي أَمَانَتِكَ أَنْ تُظْهِرَهَا لِدَاوُدَ عَبْدِكَ؟ ٤٩ 49
Where are thy former lovingkindnesses, O My Lord? Thou didst swear unto David, in thy faithfulness!
اذْكُرْ يَا رَبُّ عَارَ عَبِيدِكَ الَّذِي تَحَمَّلْتُهُ فِي صَدْرِي مِنْ جَمِيعِ الشُّعُوبِ، ٥٠ 50
Remember, O My Lord, the reproach of thy servants, I have carried in my bosom the insult of the peoples:
الْعَارَ الَّذِي عَيَّرَنَا بِهِ أَعْدَاؤُكَ يَا رَبُّ، إذْ عَيَّرُوا خَطْوَاتِ الْمَلِكِ الَّذِي مَسَحْتَهُ. ٥١ 51
In that thy foes have reproached, O Yahweh, In that they have reproached the footsteps of thine Anointed One!
تَبَارَكَ الرَّبُّ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. آمِينَ ثُمَّ آمِين. ٥٢ 52
Blessed be Yahweh to times age-abiding, Amen, and Amen!
