< 2 Samuel 22 >

1 David spoke to Yahweh the words of this song in the day that Yahweh delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul,
وَخَاطَبَ دَاوُدُ الرَّبَّ بِأَبْيَاتِ هَذَا النَّشِيدِ فِي الْيَوْمِ الَّذِي أَنْقَذَهُ فِيهِ الرَّبُّ مِنْ كُلِّ أَعْدَائِهِ، وَمِنْ شَاوُلَ:١
2 and he said: “Yahweh is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer, even mine;
«الرَّبُّ صَخْرَتِي وَحِصْنِي وَمُنْقِذِي.٢
3 God is my rock in whom I take refuge; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge. My savior, you save me from violence.
إِلَهِي صَخْرَتِي بِهِ أَحْتَمِي، تُرْسِي وَرُكْنُ خَلاصِي. هُوَ حِصْنِي وَمَلْجَإِي وَمُخَلِّصِي. أَنْتَ تُخَلِّصُنِي مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ.٣
4 I call on Yahweh, who is worthy to be praised; So shall I be saved from my enemies.
أَدْعُو الرَّبَّ الجَدِيرَ بِكُلِّ حَمْدٍ فَيُخَلِّصُنِي مِنْ أَعْدَائِي.٤
5 For the waves of death surrounded me. The floods of ungodliness made me afraid.
طَوَّقَتْنِي أَمْوَاجُ الْمَوْتِ وَسُيُولُ الْهَلاكِ غَمَرَتْنِي.٥
6 The cords of Sheol were around me. The snares of death caught me. (Sheol h7585)
أَحَاطَتْ بِي حِبَالُ الْهَاوِيَةِ، وَأَطْبَقَتْ عَلَيَّ فِخَاخُ الْمَوْتِ. (Sheol h7585)٦
7 In my distress, I called on Yahweh. Yes, I called to my God. He heard my voice out of his temple. My cry came into his ears.
فِي ضِيقِي دَعَوْتُ الرَّبَّ، وبِإِلَهِي اسْتَغَثْتُ، فَسَمِعَ صَوْتِي مِنْ هَيْكَلِهِ، وَبَلَغَ صُرَاخِي أُذُنَيْهِ.٧
8 Then the earth shook and trembled. The foundations of heaven quaked and were shaken, because he was angry.
عِنْدَئِذٍ ارْتَجَّتِ الأَرْضُ وَتَزَلْزَلَتْ. ارْتَجَفَتْ أَسَاسَاتُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَاهْتَزَّتْ لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ غَضِبَ.٨
9 Smoke went up out of his nostrils. Consuming fire came out of his mouth. Coals were kindled by it.
نَفَثَ أَنْفُهُ دُخَاناً، وانْدَلَعَتْ نَارٌ آكِلَةٌ مِنْ فَمِهِ، فَاتَّقَدَ مِنْهَا جَمْرٌ.٩
10 He bowed the heavens also, and came down. Thick darkness was under his feet.
طَأْطَأَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَنَزَلَ، فَكَانَتِ الْغُيُومُ الْمُتَجَهِّمَةُ تَحْتَ قَدَمَيْهِ.١٠
11 He rode on a cherub, and flew. Yes, he was seen on the wings of the wind.
امْتَطَى مَرْكَبَةً مِنْ مَلائِكَةِ الْكَرُوبِيمِ وَطَارَ وَتَجَلَّى عَلَى أَجْنِحَةِ الرِّيحِ.١١
12 He made darkness a shelter around himself, gathering of waters, and thick clouds of the skies.
أَحَاطَتْ بِهِ الظُّلْمَةُ كَالْمِظَلَّاتِ وَاكْتَنَفَتْهُ السُّحُبُ الْمُتَكَاثِفَةُ واللُّجَجُ.١٢
13 At the brightness before him, coals of fire were kindled.
مِنْ بَهَاءِ طَلْعَتِهِ تَوَهَّجَتْ جَمْرَاتُ نَارٍ.١٣
14 Yahweh thundered from heaven. The Most High uttered his voice.
أَرْعَدَ الرَّبُّ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَأَطْلَقَ الْعَلِيُّ صَوْتَهُ.١٤
15 He sent out arrows and scattered them, lightning and confused them.
أَطْلَقَ سِهَامَهُ فبَدَّدَ الأَعْدَاءَ، وَأَرْسَلَ بُرُوقَهُ فَأَزْعَجَهُمْ.١٥
16 Then the channels of the sea appeared. The foundations of the world were laid bare by Yahweh’s rebuke, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.
ظَهَرَتْ مَجَارِي الْمِيَاهِ الْعَمِيقَةُ وَانْكَشَفَتْ أُسُسُ الْمَسْكُونَةِ مِنْ زَجْرِ الرَّبِّ وَمِنْ رِيحِ أَنْفِهِ اللّافِحَةِ.١٦
17 He sent from on high and he took me. He drew me out of many waters.
مَدَّ الرَّبُّ يَدَهُ مِن الْعُلَى وَأَمْسَكَنِي، انْتَشَلَنِي مِنَ السُّيُولِ الْغَامِرَةِ.١٧
18 He delivered me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me, for they were too mighty for me.
أَنْقَذَنِي مِنْ عَدُوِّيَ الْقَوِيِّ، وَخَلَّصَنِي مِنْ مُبْغِضِيَّ لأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا أَقْوَى مِنِّي.١٨
19 They came on me in the day of my calamity, but Yahweh was my support.
تَصَدَّوْا لِي فِي يَوْمِ بَلِيَّتِي، فَكَانَ الرَّبُّ سَنَدِي.١٩
20 He also brought me out into a large place. He delivered me, because he delighted in me.
اقْتَادَنِي إِلَى مَوْضِعٍ رَحِيبٍ، أَنْقَذَنِي لأَنَّهُ سُرَّ بِي.٢٠
21 Yahweh rewarded me according to my righteousness. He rewarded me according to the cleanness of my hands.
يُكَافِئُنِي الرَّبُّ حَسَبَ بِرِّي. وَيُعَوِّضُنِي حَسَبَ طَهَارَةِ يَدَيَّ.٢١
22 For I have kept Yahweh’s ways, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
لأَنِّي سَلَكْتُ دَائِماً فِي طُرُقِ الرَّبِّ، وَلَمْ أَعْصَ إِلَهِي.٢٢
23 For all his ordinances were before me. As for his statutes, I didn’t depart from them.
جَعَلْتُ أَحْكَامَهُ دَائِماً نُصْبَ عَيْنِي وَلَمْ أَحِدْ عَنْ فَرَائِضِهِ.٢٣
24 I was also perfect toward him. I kept myself from my iniquity.
فَكُنْتُ كَامِلاً لَدَيْهِ، وَصُنْتُ نَفْسِي مِنَ الإِثْمِ.٢٤
25 Therefore Yahweh has rewarded me according to my righteousness, According to my cleanness in his eyesight.
فَيُكَافِئُنِي الرَّبُّ وَفْقاً لِبِرِّي، وَبِحَسَبِ طَهَارَتِي أَمَامَ عَيْنَيْهِ.٢٥
26 With the merciful you will show yourself merciful. With the perfect man you will show yourself perfect.
مَعَ الرَّحِيمِ تَكُونُ رَحِيماً، وَمَعَ الْكَامِلِ تَكُونُ كَامِلاً.٢٦
27 With the pure you will show yourself pure. With the crooked you will show yourself shrewd.
مَعَ الطَّاهِرِ تَكُونُ طَاهِراً، وَمَعَ الْمُعْوَجِّ تَكُونُ مُعْوَجّاً.٢٧
28 You will save the afflicted people, but your eyes are on the arrogant, that you may bring them down.
أَنْتَ تُنْقِذُ الشَّعْبَ الْمُتَضَايِقَ، أَمَّا عَيْنَاكَ فَتُرَاقِبَانِ الْمُتَغَطْرِسِينَ لِتَخْفِضَهْمُ.٢٨
29 For you are my lamp, Yahweh. Yahweh will light up my darkness.
يَا رَبُّ أَنْتَ سِرَاجِي. الرَّبُّ يُضِيءُ ظُلْمَتِي.٢٩
30 For by you, I run against a troop. By my God, I leap over a wall.
لأَنِّي بِكَ أَقْتَحِمُ جَيْشاً، وَبِقُوَّةِ إِلَهِي اخْتَرَقْتُ أَسْوَاراً.٣٠
31 As for God, his way is perfect. Yahweh’s word is tested. He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.
مَا أَكْمَلَ طَرِيقَ الرَّبِّ! إِنَّ كَلِمَتَهُ نَقِيَّةٌ، وَهُوَ مِتْرَاسٌ يَحْمِي جَمِيعَ الْمُلْتَجِئِينَ إِلَيْهِ.٣١
32 For who is God, besides Yahweh? Who is a rock, besides our God?
لأَنَّهُ مَنْ هُوَ إِلَهٌ غَيْرُ الرَّبِّ؟ وَمَنْ هُوَ صَخْرَةٌ سِوَى إِلَهِنَا؟٣٢
33 God is my strong fortress. He makes my way perfect.
إِنَّهُ اللهُ الَّذِي يُسَلِّحُنِي بِالْقُوَّةِ، وَيَجْعَلُ طَرِيقِي كَامِلاً.٣٣
34 He makes his feet like hinds’ feet, and sets me on my high places.
يَجْعَلُ رِجْلَيَّ كَرِجْلَيِ الإِيَّلِ وَيُقِيمُنِي آمِناً عَلَى الْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ.٣٤
35 He teaches my hands to war, so that my arms bend a bow of bronze.
تُدَرِّبُ يَدَيَّ عَلَى فَنِّ الْحَرْبِ فَتَشُدُّ ذِرَاعَايَ قَوْساً مِنْ نُحَاسٍ.٣٥
36 You have also given me the shield of your salvation. Your gentleness has made me great.
تُعْطِينِي تُرْسَ خَلاصِكَ، وَبِلُطْفِكَ تُعَظِّمُنِي.٣٦
37 You have enlarged my steps under me. My feet have not slipped.
وَسَّعْتَ طَرِيقِي تَحْتَ قَدَمَيَّ فَلَمْ تَتَعَثَّرْ رِجْلايْ.٣٧
38 I have pursued my enemies and destroyed them. I didn’t turn again until they were consumed.
أُطَارِدُ أَعْدَائِي فَأُدْرِكُهُمْ، وَلا أَرْجِعُ حَتَّى أُبِيدَهُمْ.٣٨
39 I have consumed them, and struck them through, so that they can’t arise. Yes, they have fallen under my feet.
أَقْضِي عَلَيْهِمْ وَأَسْحَقُهُمْ، فَلا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ النُّهُوضَ، بَلْ يَسْقُطُونَ تَحْتَ قَدَمَيَّ.٣٩
40 For you have armed me with strength for the battle. You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.
تُمَنْطِقُنِي بِحِزَامٍ مِنَ الْقُوَّةِ تَأَهُّباً لِلْقِتَالِ وَتُخْضِعُ لِسُلْطَانِي الْمُتَمَرِّدِينَ عَلَيَّ.٤٠
41 You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, that I might cut off those who hate me.
تَجْعَلُ أَعْدَائِي يُوَلُّونَ الأَدْبَارَ هَرَباً مِنِّي. وَأُفْنِي الَّذِينَ يُبْغِضُونَنِي.٤١
42 They looked, but there was no one to save; even to Yahweh, but he didn’t answer them.
يَسْتَغِيثُونَ وَلا مِنْ مُخَلِّصٍ، يُنَادُونَ الرَّبَّ فَلا يَسْتَجِيبُ لَهُمْ.٤٢
43 Then I beat them as small as the dust of the earth. I crushed them as the mire of the streets, and spread them abroad.
فَأَسْحَقُهُمْ كَغُبَارِ الأَرْضِ، وَمِثْلَ طِينِ الأَسْوَاقِ أَدُقُّهُمْ وَأَدُوسُهُمْ.٤٣
44 You also have delivered me from the strivings of my people. You have kept me to be the head of the nations. A people whom I have not known will serve me.
تُنْقِذُنِي مِنْ مُخَاصَمَاتِ الشَّعْبِ، وَتَجْعَلُنِي سَيِّداً لِلأُمَمِ حَتَّى صَارَ شَعْبٌ لَمْ أَكُنْ أَعْرِفُهُ عَبْداً يَخْدِمُنِي.٤٤
45 The foreigners will submit themselves to me. As soon as they hear of me, they will obey me.
يُقْبِلُ الْغُرَبَاءُ نَحْوِي مُتَذَلِّلِينَ، وَحَالَمَا يَسْمَعُونَ أَمْرِي يُلَبُّونَهُ.٤٥
46 The foreigners will fade away, and will come trembling out of their close places.
الْغُرَبَاءُ يَخُورُونَ، يَخْرُجُونَ مِنْ حُصُونِهِمْ مُرْتَعِدِينَ.٤٦
47 Yahweh lives! Blessed be my rock! Exalted be God, the rock of my salvation,
حَيٌّ هُوَ الرَّبُّ، وَمُبَارَكٌ صَخْرَتِي. وَمُتَعَالٍ إِلَهُ خَلاصِي.٤٧
48 even the God who executes vengeance for me, who brings down peoples under me,
الإِلَهُ الْمُنْتَقِمُ لِي، الَّذِي يُخْضِعُ الشُّعُوبَ لِسُلْطَانِي.٤٨
49 who brings me away from my enemies. Yes, you lift me up above those who rise up against me. You deliver me from the violent man.
مُنْقِذِي مِنْ أَعْدَائِي، رَافِعِي عَلَى الْمُتَمَرِّدِينَ وَمِنَ الرَّجُلِ الطّاغِي يُخَلِّصُنِي٤٩
50 Therefore I will give thanks to you, Yahweh, among the nations, and will sing praises to your name.
لِذَلِكَ أُسَبِّحُكَ يَا رَبُّ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ وأُرَنِّمُ لاِسْمِكَ.٥٠
51 He gives great deliverance to his king, and shows loving kindness to his anointed, to David and to his offspring, forever more.”
يَا مَانِحَ الْخَلاصِ الْعَظِيمِ لِمَلِكِهِ وَصَانِعَ الرَّحْمَةِ لِمَسِيحِهِ، لِدَاوُدَ وَنَسْلِهِ إِلَى الأَبَدِ».٥١
