1 س َبِّحُوا اللهَ. سَبِّحُوا اللهَ لِأنَّهُ صالِحٌ، لأنَّ رَحمَتَهُ إلَى الأبَدِ.

Praise the Lord! Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.

2 م َنْ يَقدِرُ أنْ يَصِفَ أعمالَ اللهِ الجَبّارَةَ، لِكَي يُسَبِّحَهُ بِما يَكفِي؟

Who can utter the mighty acts of the Lord ? Who can declare all His praise?

3 ه َنِيئاً لِمَنْ يَحفَظُونَ العَدلَ، وَعَلَى الدَّوامِ يَعمَلُونَ أعمالاً صالِحَةً وَمُستَقِيمَةً.

Blessed are those who keep justice, And he who does righteousness at all times!

4 ا ذكُرْنِي يا اللهُ عِندَما تُرِي شَعبَكَ لُطفَكَ. أعِنِّي أنا أيضاً حِينَ تُخَلِّصُهُمْ.

Remember me, O Lord, with the favor You have toward Your people. Oh, visit me with Your salvation,

5 ف َأُشارِكَ فِي بَرَكاتِ مُختارِيكَ، وَأفرَحَ مَعَ شَعبِكَ، وَأُسَبِّحُ مَعَ الَّذِينَ هُمْ لَكَ.

That I may see the benefit of Your chosen ones, That I may rejoice in the gladness of Your nation, That I may glory with Your inheritance.

6 ك َآبائِنا نَحنُ أخطَأنا. أشراراً كُنّا. مُذنِبُونَ نَحنُ!

We have sinned with our fathers, We have committed iniquity, We have done wickedly.

7 ل َمْ يَتَعَلَّمْ آباؤُنا فِي مِصرَ مِنَ المُعجِزاتِ. لَمْ يَتَذَكَّرُوا مَحَبَّتَكَ وَإحْسانَكَ العَظِيمَيْنِ. هُناكَ عِندَ البَحرِ الأحمَرِ، تَمَرَّدُوا عَلَيكَ.

Our fathers in Egypt did not understand Your wonders; They did not remember the multitude of Your mercies, But rebelled by the sea—the Red Sea.

8 ل َكِنَّهُ خَلَّصَهُمْ مِنْ أجلِ اسْمِهِ، لِكَي يُظهِرَ عَظَمَتَهُ،

Nevertheless He saved them for His name’s sake, That He might make His mighty power known.

9 ا نتَهَرَ البَحرَ الأحمَرَ فَجَفَّ، فَقادَهُمْ عَبرَ البَحرِ كَأنَّهُ قادَهُمْ عَبرَ الصَّحراءِ.

He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it dried up; So He led them through the depths, As through the wilderness.

10 خ َلَّصَهُمْ مِنْ مُبغِضِيهِمْ، وَفَداهُمْ مِنْ عَدُوِّهِمْ.

He saved them from the hand of him who hated them, And redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

11 ث ُمَّ غَمَرَ فِي الماءِ أعْداءَهُمْ. فَلَمْ يَنجُ مِنهُمْ أحَدٌ.

The waters covered their enemies; There was not one of them left.

12 ب ِكَلامِهِ آمَنُوا، وَرَنَّمُوا تَسابِيحَهُ.

Then they believed His words; They sang His praise.

13 ل َكِنَّهُمْ سَرْعانَ ما نَسَوْا ما صَنَعَهُ، وَرَفَضُوا أنْ يَنتَظِرُوا مَشُورَتَهُ وَرَأْيَهُ.

They soon forgot His works; They did not wait for His counsel,

14 و َفِي الصَّحراءِ استَسلَمُوا لِشَهَواتِهِمْ، وَامتَحَنُوا اللهَ فِي البَرِّيَّةِ.

But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, And tested God in the desert.

15 ف َأعطاهُمْ ما طَلَبُوهُ، وَأرسَلَ إلَيْهِمْ مَرَضاً مُمِيتاً.

And He gave them their request, But sent leanness into their soul.

16 ف َغارَ الشَّعبُ مِنْ مُوسَى، وَغارُوا مِنْ هارُونَ، الكاهِنِ المُقَدَّسِ للهِ.

When they envied Moses in the camp, And Aaron the saint of the Lord,

17 ف َانشَقَّتِ الأرْضُ وَالتَهَمَتْ جَماعَةَ داثانَ وَأبِيرامَ، وَدَفَنَتْ كُلَّ تِلْكَ الجَماعَةِ المُتَمَرِّدَةِ.

The earth opened up and swallowed Dathan, And covered the faction of Abiram.

18 ش َبَّتْ نارٌ فِيهِمْ، وَالتَهَمَتْ أُولَئِكَ الأشرارَ.

A fire was kindled in their company; The flame burned up the wicked.

19 ص َنَعُوا العِجلَ الذَّهَبِيَّ عِنْدَ جَبَلِ حُورِيبَ، وَسَجَدُوا لِذَلِكَ التِّمثالِ.

They made a calf in Horeb, And worshiped the molded image.

20 ا ستَبدَلُوا مَجدَ اللهِ بِتِمثالٍ مَسبُوكٍ لِثَورٍ آكِلٍ لِلعُشبِ.

Thus they changed their glory Into the image of an ox that eats grass.

21 ن َسَوْا اللهَ الَّذِي خَلَّصَهُمْ، وَصَنَعَ مُعجِزاتٍ عَظِيمَةً فِي مِصرَ،

They forgot God their Savior, Who had done great things in Egypt,

22 ص َنَعَ عَجائِبَ فِي أرْضِ حامَ، وَمُعجِزاتٍ مُهِيبَةً عِندَ البَحرِ الأحمَرِ!

Wondrous works in the land of Ham, Awesome things by the Red Sea.

23 ك انَ سَيُهلِكُهُمْ لَولا أنَّ مُوسَى الَّذِي اختارَهُ تَدَخَّلَ وَهَدَّأ غَضَبَ اللهِ، فَحالَ دُونَ هَلاكِهِمْ.

Therefore He said that He would destroy them, Had not Moses His chosen one stood before Him in the breach, To turn away His wrath, lest He destroy them.

24 ث ُمَّ رَفَضُوا الأرْضَ الطَّيِّبَةَ. لَمْ يُؤمِنُوا بِوَعدِهِ.

Then they despised the pleasant land; They did not believe His word,

25 ج َلَسُوا فِي خِيامِهِمْ يَتَذَمَّرُونَ عَلَى اللهِ ، وَلَمْ يُطِيعُوا وَصايا اللهِ.

But complained in their tents, And did not heed the voice of the Lord.

26 ف َرَفَعَ يَدَهُ وَأقسَمَ أنْ يَرمِيَهُمْ فِي الصَّحراءِ بَعِيداً،

Therefore He raised His hand in an oath against them, To overthrow them in the wilderness,

27 و َأنْ يُهزَمَ أحفادُهُمْ أمامَ الأُمَمِ الأُخرَى، فَيَتَشَتَّتُوا عَلَى وَجهِ الأرْضِ.

To overthrow their descendants among the nations, And to scatter them in the lands.

28 ث ُمَّ تَعَلَّقُوا بِبَعلِ فَغُورَ، وَأكَلُوا مِنَ الذَّبائِحَ المُقَدَّمَةِ لِلمَوتَى.

They joined themselves also to Baal of Peor, And ate sacrifices made to the dead.

29 أ ثارُوا غَضَبَ اللهِ بِأعمالِهِمْ، فَانتَشَرَ وَباءٌ بَينَهُمْ.

Thus they provoked Him to anger with their deeds, And the plague broke out among them.

30 ث ُمَّ تَدَخَّلَ فِينَحاسُ، فَتَوَقَّفَ الوَباءُ.

Then Phinehas stood up and intervened, And the plague was stopped.

31 و َحُسِبَ لَهُ هَذا عَمَلاً بارّاً، وَحُفِظَتْ ذِكراهُ جِيلاً بَعدَ جِيلٍ!

And that was accounted to him for righteousness To all generations forevermore.

32 أ غضَبُوا اللهَ عِندَ ماءِ مَرِيبَةَ، وَاضطَرَبَ مُوسَى بِسَبَبِهِمْ.

They angered Him also at the waters of strife, So that it went ill with Moses on account of them;

33 أ مَرُّوا رُوحَهُ، فَتَكَلَّمَ بِطَيشٍ.

Because they rebelled against His Spirit, So that he spoke rashly with his lips.

34 ث ُمَّ لَمْ يُهلِكُوا الأُمَمَ الأُخرَى كَما أمَرَهُمُ اللهُ.

They did not destroy the peoples, Concerning whom the Lord had commanded them,

35 ب َلِ اخْتَلَطُوا بِهِمْ، وَتَعَلَّمُوا عاداتِهِمْ.

But they mingled with the Gentiles And learned their works;

36 ب َدَأُوا يَخدِمُونَ أصنامَهُمْ، فَصارَ هَذا لَهُمْ فَخّاً.

They served their idols, Which became a snare to them.

37 ض َحُّوا حَتَّى بِأبنائِهِمْ، وَقَدَّمُوهُمْ لِشَياطِينَ!

They even sacrificed their sons And their daughters to demons,

38 س َفَكُوا دَماً بَرِيئاً، دَمَ أبنائِهِمْ وَبَناتِهِمِ الَّذِينَ ضَحُّوا بِهِمْ لأصْنامِ كَنعانَ. فَتَلَوَّثَتْ بِالدَّمِ أرْضُهُمْ.

And shed innocent blood, The blood of their sons and daughters, Whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan; And the land was polluted with blood.

39 و َتَنَجَّسُوا هُمْ أيضاً بِأعمالِهِمِ الخائِنَةِ وَالنَّجِسَةِ.

Thus they were defiled by their own works, And played the harlot by their own deeds.

40 ف َغَضِبَ اللهُ عَلَى شَعبِهِ، وَبَدَأ يَشمَئِزُّ مِنَ الَّذِينَ كانُوا لَهُ.

Therefore the wrath of the Lord was kindled against His people, So that He abhorred His own inheritance.

41 ف َأسلَمَهُمْ لِلأُمَمِ الأُخرَى، وَصارَ كارِهُوهُمْ يَحكُمُونَهُمْ.

And He gave them into the hand of the Gentiles, And those who hated them ruled over them.

42 و َضايَقَهُمْ أعْداؤُهُم، وَأخْضَعُوهُمْ بِقُوَّتِهِمْ.

Their enemies also oppressed them, And they were brought into subjection under their hand.

43 ك َثِيراً ما كانَ اللهُ يُنقِذُهُمْ، لَكِنَّهُمْ تَمَرَّدُوا وَفَعَلُوا ما أرادُوهُ، وَانحَدَرُوا أكثَرَ فَأكثَرَ فِي ذُنُوبِهِمْ.

Many times He delivered them; But they rebelled in their counsel, And were brought low for their iniquity.

44 و َكُلَّما كانُوا فِي ضِيقٍ، وَصَلُّوا إلَيهِ، كانَ يَسمَعُهُمْ وَيَرْفَعُ أعباءَهُمْ.

Nevertheless He regarded their affliction, When He heard their cry;

45 ي َتَذَكَّرُ عَهدَهُ مَعَهُمْ، وَيُعَزِّيهِمْ بِمَحَبَّتِه وَإحْسانِهِ العَظِيمَيْنِ.

And for their sake He remembered His covenant, And relented according to the multitude of His mercies.

46 ب َلْ جَعَلَ قُلُوبَ آسِرِيهِمْ تَرِقُّ لَهُمْ.

He also made them to be pitied By all those who carried them away captive.

47 ف َالآنَ يا إلَهَنا أنقِذْنا، وَاجمَعنا مِنْ بَينِ الأُمَمِ، لِكَي نُقَدِّمَ الشُّكرَ لاسمِكَ القُدُّوسِ، وَبِتَرانِيمِ التَّسبِيحِ نُكرِمُكَ.

Save us, O Lord our God, And gather us from among the Gentiles, To give thanks to Your holy name, To triumph in Your praise.

48 م ُبارَكٌ اللهُ إلَهُ إسرائِيلَ مِنَ الأزَلِ إلَى الأبَدِ. وَقالَ الشَّعبُ كُلُّهُ: «آمِينَ!» سَبِّحُوا اللهَ.

Blessed be the Lord God of Israel From everlasting to everlasting! And let all the people say, “Amen!” Praise the Lord!
