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

Give thanks to Yahweh! Call on his name! Make his doings known among the peoples.

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

Sing to him, sing praises to him! Tell of all his marvelous works.

3 ت َباهَوْا بِاسْمِهِ القُدُّوسِ. وَلْيَفرَحِ الَّذِينَ يَطلُبُونَ اللهَ.

Glory in his holy name. Let the heart of those who seek Yahweh rejoice.

4 ا طلُبُوا اللهَ وَقُوَّتَهُ. إلَيهِ الجَأُوا دائِماً.

Seek Yahweh and his strength. Seek his face forever more.

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

Remember his marvelous works that he has done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,

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

you offspring of Abraham, his servant, you children of Jacob, his chosen ones.

7 ي هوه هُوَ إلَهُنا، وَأحكامُهُ عَلَى كُلِّ الأرْضِ.

He is Yahweh, our God. His judgments are in all the earth.

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

He has remembered his covenant forever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations,

9 ه َذا هُوَ عَهدُهُ مَعَ إبراهِيمَ، وَوَعْدُهُ لإسْحَاقَ.

the covenant which he made with Abraham, his oath to Isaac,

10 ق َدَّمَهُ شَرِيعَةً لِيَعقُوبَ، لإسرائِيلَ عَهداً أبَدِيّاً.

and confirmed the same to Jacob for a statute; to Israel for an everlasting covenant,

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

saying, “To you I will 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, yes, very few, and foreigners in it.

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

They went about from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people.

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

He allowed no one to do them wrong. Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes,

15 « لا تَمَسُّوا مُختارِيَّ! لا تُؤذُوا أنبِيائِي.»

“Don’t touch my anointed ones! Do my prophets no harm!”

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

He called for a famine on the land. He destroyed the food supplies.

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

He sent a man before them. Joseph was sold for a slave.

18 آ ذُوا بِالسَّلاسِلِ قَدَمَيهِ، وَبِطَوقٍ حَدِيدِيٍّ طَوَّقُوا رَقَبَتَهُ.

They bruised his feet with shackles. His neck was locked in irons,

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

until the time that his word happened, and Yahweh’s word proved him true.

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

The king sent and freed him; even the ruler of peoples, 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 of his possessions;

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

to discipline his princes at his pleasure, and to teach his elders wisdom.

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

Israel also came into Egypt. Jacob lived in the land of Ham.

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

He increased his people greatly, and made them stronger than their adversaries.

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

He turned their heart to hate his people, to conspire against 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 performed miracles 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. They didn’t rebel against his words.

29 ح َوَّلَ ماءَهُمْ دَماً، وَقَتَلَ سَمَكَهُمْ.

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

30 م َلأ بَلَدَهُمْ بِالضَّفادِعِ، حَتَّى فِي قَصرِ المَلِكِ.

Their land swarmed with frogs, even in the rooms of their kings.

31 أ صدَرَ أمرَهُ، فَغَزَتْ مِصْرَ أسرابُ الذُّبابِ وَالبَعُوضِ.

He spoke, and swarms of flies came, and lice in all their borders.

32 ح َوَّلَ مَطَرَهُمْ بَرَداً وَأرسَلَ بَرْقاً ضَرَبَ أرضَهُمْ

He gave them hail for rain, with lightning in their land.

33 ف َدَمَّرَ كُرُومَهُمْ وَتِينَهُمْ وَكَسَّرَ أشجاراً فِي كُلِّ بِلادِهِمْ.

He struck their vines and also their fig trees, and shattered the trees of their country.

34 أ مَرَ، فَجاءَ الجَرادُ وَالجَنادِبُ بِلا عَدَدٍ.

He spoke, and the locusts came, and the grasshoppers, without number,

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

ate up every plant in their land; and ate up the fruit of their ground.

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

He struck also all the firstborn in their land, the first fruits of all their manhood.

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

He brought them out with silver and gold. There was not one feeble person among his tribes.

38 ف َرِحَ المِصْرِيُّونَ بِرَحيلِهِمْ، لأنَّهُمُ ارْتَعَبُوا مِنهُمْ.

Egypt was glad when they departed, for the fear of them had fallen on them.

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

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

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

They asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of the sky.

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

He opened the rock, and waters gushed out. They ran as a river in the dry places.

42 ل أنَّهُ تَذَكَّرَ عَهْدَهُ المُقَدَّسَ لِخادِمِهِ إبراهِيمَ،

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

43 و َأخرَجَ شَعبَهُ المُختارَ مِنْ مِصرَ فَرِحِينَ مُتَهَلِّلِينَ.

He brought his people out with joy, his chosen with singing.

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

He gave them the lands of the nations. They took the labor of the peoples in possession,

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

that they might keep his statutes, and observe his laws. Praise Yah!
