1 ا شكُرُوا اللهَ ، بِاسْمِهِ ادعُوا! خَبِّرُوا الشُّعُوبَ بِما صَنَعَ.

O give thanks unto the Lord; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people.

2 غ َنُّوا لَهُ. رَنِّمُوا لَهُ. وَفِي رَوائِعِهِ تَأمَّلُوا.

Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works.

3 ت َباهَوْا بِاسْمِهِ القُدُّوسِ. وَلْيَفرَحِ الَّذِينَ يَطلُبُونَ اللهَ.

Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord.

4 ا طلُبُوا اللهَ وَقُوَّتَهُ. إلَيهِ الجَأُوا دائِماً.

Seek the Lord, and his strength: seek his face evermore.

5 ت َذَكَّرُوا الأُمُورَ العَظِيمَةَ الَّتِي أجراها، وَعَجائِبَهُ وَأحْكامَهُ الَّتِي نَطَقَ بِها.

Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;

6 ي ا أبناءَ خادِمِهِ إبراهِيمَ، يا أبناءَ مُختارِهِ يَعقُوبَ.

O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen.

7 ي هوه هُوَ إلَهُنا، وَأحكامُهُ عَلَى كُلِّ الأرْضِ.

He is the Lord our God: his judgments are in all the earth.

8 إ لَى الأبَدِ سَيَذكُرُ عَهدَهُ، الوَصايا الَّتِي أمَرَ بِها هِيَ لألْفِ جِيلٍ.

He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.

9 ه َذا هُوَ عَهدُهُ مَعَ إبراهِيمَ، وَوَعْدُهُ لإسْحَاقَ.

Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac;

10 ق َدَّمَهُ شَرِيعَةً لِيَعقُوبَ، لإسرائِيلَ عَهداً أبَدِيّاً.

And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant:

11 ق الَ: «أُعطِيكَ أرْضَ كَنْعانَ لِتَكُونَ نَصِيبَكَ مِنَ الأملاكِ.»

Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance:

12 ف َعَلَ هَذا حِينَ كانُوا قِلَّةً وَغُرَباءَ فِي الأرْضِ.

When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it.

13 ج الَ هَؤُلاءِ الآباءُ مِنْ شَعبٍ إلَى شَعبٍ، وَمِنْ مَملَكَةٍ إلَى أُخْرَى.

When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people;

14 ل َمْ يَسمَحْ لأحَدٍ بِأنْ يُسِيئَ مُعامَلَتَهُمْ، بَلْ حَذَّرَ المُلُوكَ وَقالَ:

He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes;

15 « لا تَمَسُّوا مُختارِيَّ! لا تُؤذُوا أنبِيائِي.»

Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.

16 ج َلَبَ اللهُ عَلَى الأرْضِ مَجاعَةً، فَلَمْ يَعُدْ هُناكَ ما يَكْفِي مِنَ الخُبْزِ!

Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he brake the whole staff of bread.

17 أ رسَلَ رَجُلاً إلَى مِصرَ قَبلَ عائِلَةِ إسرائِيلَ، يُوسُفَ الَّذِي بِيعَ عَبداً.

He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant:

18 آ ذُوا بِالسَّلاسِلِ قَدَمَيهِ، وَبِطَوقٍ حَدِيدِيٍّ طَوَّقُوا رَقَبَتَهُ.

Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron:

19 ح َتَّى تَحَقَّقَ كَلامُهُ، وَكَلِمَةُ اللهِ بَرهَنَتْ عَلَى صِدقِهِ.

Until the time that his word came: the word of the Lord tried him.

20 أ رسَلَ المَلِكُ فِي طَلَبِهِ وَكافَأهُ. وَحاكِمُ الشَّعبِ حَرَّرَهُ مِنَ السِّجنِ.

The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and let him go free.

21 ع َيَّنَهُ سَيِّداً عَلَى البَيتِ، مَسؤُولاً عَنْ كُلِّ أملاكِهِ.

He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance:

22 أ عطَى يُوسُفُ تَعلِيماتٍ لِلْقادَةِ، وَدَرَّبَ قادَةً أكبَرَ مِنهُ.

To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators wisdom.

23 ث ُمَّ دَخَلَ إسرائِيلُ مِصرَ. عاشَ يَعقُوبُ غَرِيباً فِي أرْضِ حامَ.

Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.

24 ك َثَّرَ اللهُ شَعبَهُ كَثِيراً، فَصارُوا أعظَمَ وَأقوَى مِنْ أعدائِهِمْ.

And he increased his people greatly; and made them stronger than their enemies.

25 ع ِندَئِذٍ تَغَيَّرَتْ نَظرَةُ المِصرِيِّينَ إلَيْهِمْ، فَبَدَأُوا يُبغِضُونَهُمْ وَيَتَآمَرُونَ عَلَى عَبِيدِهِمْ.

He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants.

26 ف َأرسَلَ اللهُ عَبدَهُ مُوسَى، وَهارُونَ الَّذِي اختارَهُ.

He sent Moses his servant; and Aaron whom he had chosen.

27 أ ظهَرُوا بَراهِينَهُ وَسَطَ شَعبِ مِصرَ، وَمُعجِزاتِهِ فِي أرْضِ حامَ.

They shewed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.

28 أ رسَلَ ظَلاماً شَديداً، وَلَمْ يُصغِ المِصْرِيونَ إلَيهِ.

He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word.

29 ح َوَّلَ ماءَهُمْ دَماً، وَقَتَلَ سَمَكَهُمْ.

He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish.

30 م َلأ بَلَدَهُمْ بِالضَّفادِعِ، حَتَّى فِي قَصرِ المَلِكِ.

Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers of their kings.

31 أ صدَرَ أمرَهُ، فَغَزَتْ مِصْرَ أسرابُ الذُّبابِ وَالبَعُوضِ.

He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies, and lice in all their coasts.

32 ح َوَّلَ مَطَرَهُمْ بَرَداً وَأرسَلَ بَرْقاً ضَرَبَ أرضَهُمْ

He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land.

33 ف َدَمَّرَ كُرُومَهُمْ وَتِينَهُمْ وَكَسَّرَ أشجاراً فِي كُلِّ بِلادِهِمْ.

He smote their vines also and their fig trees; and brake the trees of their coasts.

34 أ مَرَ، فَجاءَ الجَرادُ وَالجَنادِبُ بِلا عَدَدٍ.

He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillers, and that without number,

35 أ كَلَ كُلَّ نَباتٍ أخضَرَ فِي الحُقُولِ، وَكُلَّ محاصِيلِ الأرْضِ.

And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground.

36 ث ُمَّ ضَرَبَ كُلَّ ابنٍ بِكرٍ فِي كُلِّ عائِلَةٍ، الَّذينَ هُمْ بُرهانُ قُوَّةِ آبائِهِمْ.

He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength.

37 أ خرَجَهُمْ حامِلِينَ ذَهَباً وَفِضَّةً، وَلَمْ يَتَعَثَّرْ أحَدٌ مِنْ كُلِّ عَشائِرِ بَنِي إسرائِيلَ.

He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes.

38 ف َرِحَ المِصْرِيُّونَ بِرَحيلِهِمْ، لأنَّهُمُ ارْتَعَبُوا مِنهُمْ.

Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them.

39 ك َغِطاءٍ بَسَطَ اللهُ سَحابَتَهُ فَوقَهُمْ، وَأعطاهُمْ عَمُودَ نارٍ لِيُضِيءَ اللَّيلَ.

He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night.

40 ط َلَبُوا مِنَ اللهِ، فَأنزَلَ السَّلوَى عَلَيهِمْ. وَمِنَ الخُبزِ السَّماوِيِّ أشبَعَهُمْ.

The people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.

41 ش َقَّ اللهُ الصَّخرَةَ، فَاندَفَعَ الماءُ عَلَى الأرْضِ الجافَّةِ كَنَهرٍ.

He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river.

42 ل أنَّهُ تَذَكَّرَ عَهْدَهُ المُقَدَّسَ لِخادِمِهِ إبراهِيمَ،

For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant.

43 و َأخرَجَ شَعبَهُ المُختارَ مِنْ مِصرَ فَرِحِينَ مُتَهَلِّلِينَ.

And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness:

44 ث ُمَّ أعطاهُمُ أرْضَ شُعُوبٍ أُخْرَى، وَوَرَثُوا ثَمَرَ تَعَبِ الغُرَباءِ.

And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labour of the people;

45 ل ِكَي يُطِيعُوا شَرائِعَهُ، وَيَحفَظُوا تَعالِيمَهُ. سَبِّحُوا اللهَ.

That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the Lord.
