1 T he Mighty One, God, Yahweh, speaks, and calls the earth from sunrise to sunset.

اللهُ قَدْ تَكَلَّمَ، الإلَهُ العَظِيمُ. وَهُوَ يَدعُو كُلَّ سُكّانِ الأرْضِ مِنَ الشَّرقِ إلَى الغَربِ.

2 O ut of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shines out.

فِي جَمالٍ سامَ يُشرِقُ اللهُ مِنْ صِهْيَوْنَ.

3 O ur God comes, and does not keep silent. A fire devours before him. It is very stormy around him.

يَأتِي إلَهُنا بِغَيرِ صَمتٍ، أمامَهُ نارٌ آكِلَةٌ، وَحَولَهُ عاصِفَةٌ هَوْجاءُ!

4 H e calls to the heavens above, to the earth, that he may judge his people:

يَدعُو السَّماواتِ مِنْ فَوقُ وَالأرْضَ مِنْ تَحتُ لِكَي تَشهَدَ مَجِيئَهُ لِمُحاكَمَةِ شَعبِهِ.

5 “ Gather my saints together to me, those who have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.”

يَقُولُ اللهُ: «اجمَعُوا أتباعِيَ الأُمَناءَ الَّذِينَ قَدَّمُوا ذَبائِحَ عِندَما قَطَعْنا العَهدَ مَعاً.»

6 T he heavens shall declare his righteousness, for God himself is judge. Selah.

عِندَئِذٍ تُعلِنُ السَّماواتُ بِرَّ اللهِ، وَأنَّهُ قاضٍ يَحكُمُ بِالعَدلِ. سِلاهْ

7 “ Hear, my people, and I will speak; Israel, and I will testify against you. I am God, your God.

أَسمَعنِي يا شَعبِيَ وَأنا أتَكَلَّمُ. أَصْغِ يا إسرائِيلُ وَأنا أشهَدُ عَلَيكِ. «إلَهُكَ أنا!

8 I don’t rebuke you for your sacrifices. Your burnt offerings are continually before me.

لا أُوَبِّخُكَ عَلَى تَقدِماتِكَ وَذَبائِحَكَ. فَهِيَ أمامِي دائِماً.

9 I have no need for a bull from your stall, nor male goats from your pens.

لَنْ آخُذَ ثِيراناً وَخِرافاً مِنْ بُيُوتِكَ وَحَظائِرِكَ!

10 F or every animal of the forest is mine, and the livestock on a thousand hills.

فَلِي كُلُّ حَيوانٍ بَرِّيٍّ وَألِيفٍ عَلَى جِبالٍ لا حَصرَ لَها.

11 I know all the birds of the mountains. The wild animals of the field are mine.

كُلُّ طَيرٍ عَلَى الجِبالِ مَعرُوفٌ لَدَيَّ. وَكُلُّ مَخلُوقٍ زاحِفٍ فِي الحُقُولِ.

12 I f I were hungry, I would not tell you, for the world is mine, and all that is in it.

إنْ جُعْتُ لا أطلُبُ مِنكَ طَعاماً. لأنَّ العالَمَ وَكُلَّ ما عَلَيهِ لِي!

13 W ill I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?

أآكُلُ لَحمَ البَقَرِ أوْ أشرَبُ دَمَ التُّيُوسِ؟»

14 O ffer to God the sacrifice of thanksgiving. Pay your vows to the Most High.

فَقَدِّمْ للهِ تَقدِماتِ الشُّكرِ، وَأوْفِ نُذُورَكَ للهِ العَلِيِّ.

15 C all on me in the day of trouble. I will deliver you, and you will honor me.”

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

16 B ut to the wicked God says, “What right do you have to declare my statutes, that you have taken my covenant on your lips,

أمّا لِلشِّرِّيرِ فَيَقُولُ اللهُ: «كَيفَ تَتَحَدَّثُ عَنْ وَصايايَ، وَبِفَمِكَ تَتلُو عَهدِي.

17 s ince you hate instruction, and throw my words behind you?

وَأنتَ تَكرَهُ التَّأدِيبَ وَالتَّصْحِيحَ، وَتُلقِي بِكَلامِيَ وَراءَ ظَهرِكَ؟

18 W hen you saw a thief, you consented with him, and have participated with adulterers.

تُصاحِبُ كُلَّ لِصٍّ تَراهُ. وَتُعاشِرُ الزُّناةَ.

19 “ You give your mouth to evil. Your tongue frames deceit.

فِي مَهَمّاتٍ شِرِّيرَةٍ تُرسِلُ لِسانَكَ، وَهُوَ يُنبِتُ غُشّاً.

20 Y ou sit and speak against your brother. You slander your own mother’s son.

تُدِينُ أخاكَ، وَتَفتَرِي عَلَى ابْنِ أُمِّكَ. وَتُدَمِّرُ أقرَبَ أقرِبائِكَ.

21 Y ou have done these things, and I kept silent. You thought that I was just like you. I will rebuke you, and accuse you in front of your eyes.

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

22 “ Now consider this, you who forget God, lest I tear you into pieces, and there be no one to deliver.

افهَمُوا هَذا جَمِيعاً يا تارِكِي اللهِ، لِئَلّا أُمَزِّقَكُمْ وَلا مُنقِذَ لَكُمْ.

23 W hoever offers the sacrifice of thanksgiving glorifies me, and prepares his way so that I will show God’s salvation to him.”

مَنْ يُقَدِّمُ ذَبِيحَةَ شُكرٍ يُكرِمُنِي. وَمَنْ يَعِيشُ باستِقامَةٍ، أُرِيهِ خَلاصَ اللهِ!»
