1 ¶ Sing aloud unto God our strength; make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.

دَعُونا نُرَنِّمُ للهِ قُوَّتِنا، اهْتِفُوا لإلَهِ يَعْقُوبَ!

2 T ake the song and play the timbrel, the harp of joy with the psaltery.

دُقُّوا المُوسِيقَى، اضرِبُوا عَلَى الدُّفِّ وَالعُودِ الجَمِيلِ وَالقِيثارِ!

3 B low the shofar in the new moon in the time appointed on our solemn feast day.

انفُخُوا البُوقَ عِندَ أوَّلِ الشَّهرِ، وَعِندَ اكتِمالِ البَدرِ إيذاناً بِبَدءِ عِيدِنا المُقَدَّسِ.

4 F or this is a statute of Israel and an ordinance of the God of Jacob.

وَهَذِهِ فَرِيضَةٌ عَلَى إسْرائِيلَ، إنَّها وَصِيَّةٌ أعْطاها اللهُ لِيَعقُوبَ.

5 T his he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt where I heard a language that I did not understand.

هَذا جُزءٌ مِنَ عَهدِ اللهِ لَمّا غادَرُوا مِصرَ. سَمِعْتُ صَوتاً بِلُغَةٍ لَمْ أعْرِفْها يَقُولُ:

6 I removed his shoulder from the burden; his hands were delivered from working with clay.

«أزَحتُ العِبءَ عَنْ كَتِفِهِ، وَالسَّلَّةَ مِنْ يَدَيهِ.

7 T hou didst call in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder; I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah.

حِينَ كُنتَ فِي ضِيقٍ استَنجَدتَ بِي. فَأجَبتُكَ سِرّاً بِالرَّعدِ. امتَحَنْتُكَ عِنْدَ مِياهِ مَرِيبَةَ.» سِلاهْ

8 ¶ Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee; O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me,

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

9 n o strange god shall be in thee, neither shalt thou worship any strange god.

لا يَكُنْ فِي وَسَطِكُمْ آلِهَةٌ غَرِيبَةٌ. وَلإلَهٍ غَرِيبٍ لا تَنْحَنُوا.

10 I am the LORD thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt; open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

أنا إلَهُكُمْ الَّذِي أخرَجَكُمْ مِنْ مِصرَ. افتَحْ فَمَكَ وَأنا أملأُهُ.

11 B ut my people did not hearken to my voice, and Israel did not love me.

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

12 S o I gave them up unto the hardness of their heart, and they walked in their own counsels.

لِهَذا سَأترُكُهُمْ لِعِنادِهِمْ، فَيَفعَلُونَ ما يَحلُو لَهُمْ.

13 O h, if my people would hearken unto me and Israel would walk in my ways!

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

14 I would soon subdue their enemies and turn my hand against their adversaries.

لِأنَّنِي عِندَئِذٍ سَأُسرِعُ إلَى إخضاعِ أعدائِهِمْ، وَأُعاقِبُ خُصُومَهُمْ.

15 T he haters of the LORD would have submitted themselves unto him, and their time would endure for ever.

الَّذِينَ يَكرَهُونَ اللهَ سَيَنكَمِشُونَ أمامَهُ، وَدَمارُهُمْ سَيَكُونُ إلَى الأبَدِ.

16 A nd God would have fed them also the finest of the wheat, and with honey out of the rock I would have satisfied thee.

أمّا أنا فَسَأُطعِمُكُمْ قَمحاً كَثِيراً. وَسَأُشبِعُكُمْ عَسَلاً مِنَ الصَّخرَةِ.»
