1 ا للهُ قَدْ تَكَلَّمَ، الإلَهُ العَظِيمُ. وَهُوَ يَدعُو كُلَّ سُكّانِ الأرْضِ مِنَ الشَّرقِ إلَى الغَربِ.

The Mighty One, God the Lord, Has spoken and called the earth From the rising of the sun to its going down.

2 ف ِي جَمالٍ سامَ يُشرِقُ اللهُ مِنْ صِهْيَوْنَ.

Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God will shine forth.

3 ي َأتِي إلَهُنا بِغَيرِ صَمتٍ، أمامَهُ نارٌ آكِلَةٌ، وَحَولَهُ عاصِفَةٌ هَوْجاءُ!

Our God shall come, and shall not keep silent; A fire shall devour before Him, And it shall be very tempestuous all around Him.

4 ي َدعُو السَّماواتِ مِنْ فَوقُ وَالأرْضَ مِنْ تَحتُ لِكَي تَشهَدَ مَجِيئَهُ لِمُحاكَمَةِ شَعبِهِ.

He shall call to the heavens from above, And to the earth, that He may judge His people:

5 ي َقُولُ اللهُ: «اجمَعُوا أتباعِيَ الأُمَناءَ الَّذِينَ قَدَّمُوا ذَبائِحَ عِندَما قَطَعْنا العَهدَ مَعاً.»

“Gather My saints together to Me, Those who have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice.”

6 ع ِندَئِذٍ تُعلِنُ السَّماواتُ بِرَّ اللهِ، وَأنَّهُ قاضٍ يَحكُمُ بِالعَدلِ. سِلاهْ

Let the heavens declare His righteousness, For God Himself is Judge. Selah

7 أ َسمَعنِي يا شَعبِيَ وَأنا أتَكَلَّمُ. أَصْغِ يا إسرائِيلُ وَأنا أشهَدُ عَلَيكِ. «إلَهُكَ أنا!

“Hear, O My people, and I will speak, O Israel, and I will testify against you; I am God, your God!

8 ل ا أُوَبِّخُكَ عَلَى تَقدِماتِكَ وَذَبائِحَكَ. فَهِيَ أمامِي دائِماً.

I will not rebuke you for your sacrifices Or your burnt offerings, Which are continually before Me.

9 ل َنْ آخُذَ ثِيراناً وَخِرافاً مِنْ بُيُوتِكَ وَحَظائِرِكَ!

I will not take a bull from your house, Nor goats out of your folds.

10 ف َلِي كُلُّ حَيوانٍ بَرِّيٍّ وَألِيفٍ عَلَى جِبالٍ لا حَصرَ لَها.

For every beast of the forest is Mine, And the cattle on a thousand hills.

11 ك ُلُّ طَيرٍ عَلَى الجِبالِ مَعرُوفٌ لَدَيَّ. وَكُلُّ مَخلُوقٍ زاحِفٍ فِي الحُقُولِ.

I know all the birds of the mountains, And the wild beasts of the field are Mine.

12 إ نْ جُعْتُ لا أطلُبُ مِنكَ طَعاماً. لأنَّ العالَمَ وَكُلَّ ما عَلَيهِ لِي!

“If I were hungry, I would not tell you; For the world is Mine, and all its fullness.

13 أ آكُلُ لَحمَ البَقَرِ أوْ أشرَبُ دَمَ التُّيُوسِ؟»

Will I eat the flesh of bulls, Or drink the blood of goats?

14 ف َقَدِّمْ للهِ تَقدِماتِ الشُّكرِ، وَأوْفِ نُذُورَكَ للهِ العَلِيِّ.

Offer to God thanksgiving, And pay your vows to the Most High.

15 « وَحِينَ يَأتِي ضِيقٌ، ادْعُنِي، وَعِندَما أُنقِذُكَ، أكرِمْنِي.»

Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me.”

16 أ مّا لِلشِّرِّيرِ فَيَقُولُ اللهُ: «كَيفَ تَتَحَدَّثُ عَنْ وَصايايَ، وَبِفَمِكَ تَتلُو عَهدِي.

But to the wicked God says: “What right have you to declare My statutes, Or take My covenant in your mouth,

17 و َأنتَ تَكرَهُ التَّأدِيبَ وَالتَّصْحِيحَ، وَتُلقِي بِكَلامِيَ وَراءَ ظَهرِكَ؟

Seeing you hate instruction And cast My words behind you?

18 ت ُصاحِبُ كُلَّ لِصٍّ تَراهُ. وَتُعاشِرُ الزُّناةَ.

When you saw a thief, you consented with him, And have been a partaker with adulterers.

19 ف ِي مَهَمّاتٍ شِرِّيرَةٍ تُرسِلُ لِسانَكَ، وَهُوَ يُنبِتُ غُشّاً.

You give your mouth to evil, And your tongue frames deceit.

20 ت ُدِينُ أخاكَ، وَتَفتَرِي عَلَى ابْنِ أُمِّكَ. وَتُدَمِّرُ أقرَبَ أقرِبائِكَ.

You sit and speak against your brother; You slander your own mother’s son.

21 ف َعَلْتَ كُلَّ هَذا، وَأنا سَكَتُّ. فَتوَهَّمتَ أنِّي مِثلُكَ. أمّا الآنَ فَأضَعُ هَذِهِ التُّهَمَ أمامَكَ وَأُوَبِّخُكَ.

These things you have done, and I kept silent; You thought that I was altogether like you; But I will rebuke you, And set them in order before your eyes.

22 ا فهَمُوا هَذا جَمِيعاً يا تارِكِي اللهِ، لِئَلّا أُمَزِّقَكُمْ وَلا مُنقِذَ لَكُمْ.

“Now consider this, you who forget God, Lest I tear you in pieces, And there be none to deliver:

23 م َنْ يُقَدِّمُ ذَبِيحَةَ شُكرٍ يُكرِمُنِي. وَمَنْ يَعِيشُ باستِقامَةٍ، أُرِيهِ خَلاصَ اللهِ!»

Whoever offers praise glorifies Me; And to him who orders his conduct aright I will show the salvation of God.”
