picture

1 د َعُونا نُرَنِّمُ للهِ قُوَّتِنا، اهْتِفُوا لإلَهِ يَعْقُوبَ!

Sing for joy to God our strength; Shout joyfully to the God of Jacob.

2 د ُقُّوا المُوسِيقَى، اضرِبُوا عَلَى الدُّفِّ وَالعُودِ الجَمِيلِ وَالقِيثارِ!

Raise a song, strike the timbrel, The sweet sounding lyre with the harp.

3 ا نفُخُوا البُوقَ عِندَ أوَّلِ الشَّهرِ، وَعِندَ اكتِمالِ البَدرِ إيذاناً بِبَدءِ عِيدِنا المُقَدَّسِ.

Blow the trumpet at the new moon, At the full moon, on our feast day.

4 و َهَذِهِ فَرِيضَةٌ عَلَى إسْرائِيلَ، إنَّها وَصِيَّةٌ أعْطاها اللهُ لِيَعقُوبَ.

For it is a statute for Israel, An ordinance of the God of Jacob.

5 ه َذا جُزءٌ مِنَ عَهدِ اللهِ لَمّا غادَرُوا مِصرَ. سَمِعْتُ صَوتاً بِلُغَةٍ لَمْ أعْرِفْها يَقُولُ:

He established it for a testimony in Joseph When he went throughout the land of Egypt. I heard a language that I did not know:

6 « أزَحتُ العِبءَ عَنْ كَتِفِهِ، وَالسَّلَّةَ مِنْ يَدَيهِ.

“I relieved his shoulder of the burden, His hands were freed from the basket.

7 ح ِينَ كُنتَ فِي ضِيقٍ استَنجَدتَ بِي. فَأجَبتُكَ سِرّاً بِالرَّعدِ. امتَحَنْتُكَ عِنْدَ مِياهِ مَرِيبَةَ.» سِلاهْ

“You called in trouble and I rescued you; I answered you in the hiding place of thunder; I proved you at the waters of Meribah. Selah.

8 « استَمِعْ إلَيَّ يا شَعبِي! إنْ استَمَعتَ إلَيَّ، سَأقْطَعُ مَعَكَ عَهداً.

“ Hear, O My people, and I will admonish you; O Israel, if you would listen to Me!

9 ل ا يَكُنْ فِي وَسَطِكُمْ آلِهَةٌ غَرِيبَةٌ. وَلإلَهٍ غَرِيبٍ لا تَنْحَنُوا.

“Let there be no strange god among you; Nor shall you worship any foreign god.

10 أ نا إلَهُكُمْ الَّذِي أخرَجَكُمْ مِنْ مِصرَ. افتَحْ فَمَكَ وَأنا أملأُهُ.

“ I, the Lord, am your God, Who brought you up from the land of Egypt; Open your mouth wide and I will fill it.

11 « لَكِنَّ شَعبِي لَمْ يَسمَعْ لِصَوتِي. إسْرائِيلُ لَمْ يَكُنْ يُرِيدُنِي.

“But My people did not listen to My voice, And Israel did not obey Me.

12 ل ِهَذا سَأترُكُهُمْ لِعِنادِهِمْ، فَيَفعَلُونَ ما يَحلُو لَهُمْ.

“So I gave them over to the stubbornness of their heart, To walk in their own devices.

13 ل َيتَ شَعبِي يَستَمِعُ إلَيَّ، لَيتَ إسْرائِيلَ يَمشِي فِي الطَّرِيقِ الَّتِي أُرِيدُها لَهُ.

“Oh that My people would listen to Me, That Israel would walk in My ways!

14 ل ِأنَّنِي عِندَئِذٍ سَأُسرِعُ إلَى إخضاعِ أعدائِهِمْ، وَأُعاقِبُ خُصُومَهُمْ.

“I would quickly subdue their enemies And turn My hand against their adversaries.

15 ا لَّذِينَ يَكرَهُونَ اللهَ سَيَنكَمِشُونَ أمامَهُ، وَدَمارُهُمْ سَيَكُونُ إلَى الأبَدِ.

“ Those who hate the Lord would pretend obedience to Him, And their time of punishment would be forever.

16 أ مّا أنا فَسَأُطعِمُكُمْ قَمحاً كَثِيراً. وَسَأُشبِعُكُمْ عَسَلاً مِنَ الصَّخرَةِ.»

“ But I would feed you with the finest of the wheat, And with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.”
