Psalms 135

1 Praise Yah! Praise Yahweh’s name! Praise him, you servants of Yahweh,

١ هَلِّلُويَا. سَبِّحُوا اسْمَ الرَّبِّ. سَبِّحُوهُ يَا عَبِيدَ الرَّبِّ،

2 you who stand in Yahweh’s house, in the courts of our God’s house.

٢ الْقَائِمِينَ عَلَى الْخِدْمَةِ فِي بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ، فِي دِيَارِ بَيْتِ إِلَهِنَا.

3 Praise Yah, for Yahweh is good. Sing praises to his name, for that is pleasant.

٣ سَبِّحُوا الرَّبَّ فَإِنَّهُ صَالِحٌ. اشْدُوا لاسْمِهِ، فَإِنَّ ذَاكَ حُلْوٌ.

4 For Yah has chosen Jacob for himself, Israel for his own possession.

٤ لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدِ اخْتَارَ يَعْقُوبَ لِنَفْسِهِ، وَاتَّخَذَ إِسْرَائِيلَ شَعْباً خَاصّاً لَهُ.

5 For I know that Yahweh is great, that our Lord is above all gods.

٥ قَدْ عَرَفْتُ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ عَظِيمٌ، وَأَنَّ سَيِّدَنَا أَسْمَى مِنْ جَمِيعِ الآلِهَةِ.

6 Whatever Yahweh pleased, that he has done, in heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps.

٦ كُلَّ مَا شَاءَ صَنَعَ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ، وَفِي الأَرْضِ وَالْبِحَارِ، وَفِي كُلِّ الأَغْوَارِ الْعَمِيقَةِ.

7 He causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth. He makes lightnings with the rain. He brings the wind out of his treasuries.

٧ يُصْعِدُ الأَبْخِرَةَ مِنْ أَقَاصِي الأَرْضِ، وَيُحْدِثُ بُرُوقاً لِلْمَطَرِ، وَيُطْلِقُ الرِّيحَ مِنْ خَزَائِنِهِ.

8 He struck the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and animal.

٨ هُوَ الَّذِي ضَرَبَ أَبْكَارَ مِصْرَ، أَبْكَارَ النَّاسِ وَالْبَهَائِمِ.

9 He sent signs and wonders into the middle of you, Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his servants.

٩ وَهُوَ الَّذِي أَجْرَى آيَاتٍ وَمُعْجِزَاتٍ فِي وَسَطِكِ يَا مِصْرُ، وَعَلَى فِرْعَوْنَ وَجَمِيعِ عَبِيدِهِ.

10 He struck many nations, and killed mighty kings—

١٠ ضَرَبَ أُمَماً عَظِيمَةً، وَقَتَلَ مُلُوكاً مُقْتَدِرِينَ:

11 Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan—

١١ سِيحُونَ مَلِكَ الأَمُورِيِّينَ، وَعُوجَ مَلِكَ بَاشَانَ، وَجَمِيعَ مَمَالِكِ كَنْعَانَ.

12 and gave their land for a heritage, a heritage to Israel, his people.

١٢ وَوَهَبَ أَرْضَهُمْ مِيرَاثاً لإِسْرَائِيلَ شَعْبِهِ.

13 Your name, Yahweh, endures forever; your renown, Yahweh, throughout all generations.

١٣ اسْمُكَ خَالِدٌ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. ذِكْرُكَ يَا رَبُّ مِنْ جِيلٍ إِلَى جِيلٍ.

14 For Yahweh will judge his people and have compassion on his servants.

١٤ لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ يُحَاكِمُ شَعْبَهُ بِعَدْلٍ وَيَعْطِفُ عَلَى عَبِيدِهِ.

15 The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.

١٥ أَمَّا أَصْنَامُ الأُمَمِ فَهِيَ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ وَذَهَبٍ، صَنْعَةُ أَيْدِي النَّاسِ.

16 They have mouths, but they can’t speak. They have eyes, but they can’t see.

١٦ لَهَا أَفْوَاهٌ لَكِنَّهَا لَا تَتَكَلَّمُ، وَعُيُونٌ لَكِنَّهَا لَا تَرَى.

17 They have ears, but they can’t hear, neither is there any breath in their mouths.

١٧ وَآذَانٌ لَكِنَّهَا لَا تَسْمَعُ. وَلَيْسَ فِي أَفْوَاهِهَا نَسَمَةُ حَيَاةٍ.

18 Those who make them will be like them, yes, everyone who trusts in them.

١٨ مِثْلَهَا يَصِيرُ صَانِعُوهَا وَكُلُّ مَنْ يَتَوَكَّلُ عَلَيْهَا.

19 House of Israel, praise Yahweh! House of Aaron, praise Yahweh!

١٩ يَا بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ بَارِكُوا الرَّبَّ. يَا بَيْتَ هَارُونَ بَارِكُوا الرَّبَّ.

20 House of Levi, praise Yahweh! You who fear Yahweh, praise Yahweh!

٢٠ يَا بَيْتَ لاوِي بَارِكُوا الرَّبَّ. يَا خَائِفِي الرَّبِّ بَارِكُوا الرَّبَّ.

21 Blessed be Yahweh from Zion, who dwells in Jerusalem. Praise Yah!

٢١ مُبَارَكٌ الرَّبُّ مِنْ صِهْيَوْنَ، الرَّبُّ السَّاكِنُ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ. هَلِّلُويَا.
