Psalms 106

هَلِّلُويَا. اِحْمَدُوا الرَّبَّ لأَنَّهُ صَالِحٌ، لأَنَّ إِلَى الأَبَدِ رَحْمَتَهُ.

Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

مَنْ يَتَكَلَّمُ بِجَبَرُوتِ الرَّبِّ؟ مَنْ يُخْبِرُ بِكُلِّ تَسَابِيحِهِ؟

Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? who can shew forth all his praise?

طُوبَى لِلْحَافِظِينَ الْحَقَّ وَلِلصَّانِعِ الْبِرَّ فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ.

Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that doeth righteousness at all times.

اذْكُرْنِي يَا رَبُّ بِرِضَا شَعْبِكَ. تَعَهَّدْنِي بِخَلاَصِكَ،

Remember me, O LORD, with the favour that thou bearest unto thy people: O visit me with thy salvation;

لأَرَى خَيْرَ مُخْتَارِيكَ. لأَفْرَحَ بِفَرَحِ أُمَّتِكَ. لأَفْتَخِرَ مَعَ مِيرَاثِكَ.

That I may see the good of thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation, that I may glory with thine inheritance.

أَخْطَأْنَا مَعَ آبَائِنَا. أَسَأْنَا وَأَذْنَبْنَا.

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

آبَاؤُنَا فِي مِصْرَ لَمْ يَفْهَمُوا عَجَائِبَكَ. لَمْ يَذْكُرُوا كَثْرَةَ مَرَاحِمِكَ، فَتَمَرَّدُوا عِنْدَ الْبَحْرِ، عِنْدَ بَحْرِ سُوفٍ.

Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies; but provoked him at the sea, even at the Red sea.

فَخَلَّصَهُمْ مِنْ أَجْلِ اسْمِهِ، لِيُعَرِّفَ بِجَبَرُوتِهِ.

Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known.

وَانْتَهَرَ بَحْرَ سُوفٍ فَيَبِسَ، وَسَيَّرَهُمْ فِي اللُّجَجِ كَالْبَرِّيَّةِ.

He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up: so he led them through the depths, as through the wilderness.

وَخَلَّصَهُمْ مِنْ يَدِ الْمُبْغِضِ، وَفَدَاهُمْ مِنْ يَدِ الْعَدُوِّ.

And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

وَغَطَّتِ الْمِيَاهُ مُضَايِقِيهِمْ. وَاحِدٌ مِنْهُمْ لَمْ يَبْقَ.

And the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of them left.

فَآمَنُوا بِكَلاَمِهِ. غَنَّوْا بِتَسْبِيحِهِ.

Then believed they his words; they sang his praise.

أَسْرَعُوا فَنَسُوا أَعْمَالَهُ. لَمْ يَنْتَظِرُوا مَشُورَتَهُ.

They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel:

بَلِ اشْتَهَوْا شَهْوَةً فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ، وَجَرَّبُوا اللهَ فِي الْقَفْرِ.

But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert.

فَأَعْطَاهُمْ سُؤْلَهُمْ، وَأَرْسَلَ هُزَالاً فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ.

And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul.

وَحَسَدُوا مُوسَى فِي الْمَحَلَّةِ، وَهارُونَ قُدُّوسَ الرَّبِّ.

They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron the saint of the LORD.

فَتَحَتِ الأَرْضُ وَابْتَلَعَتْ دَاثَانَ، وَطَبَقَتْ عَلَى جَمَاعَةِ أَبِيرَامَ،

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

وَاشْتَعَلَتْ نَارٌ فِي جَمَاعَتِهِمْ. اللَّهِيبُ أَحْرَقَ الأَشْرَارَ.

And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.

صَنَعُوا عِجْلاً فِي حُورِيبَ، وَسَجَدُوا لِتِمْثَال مَسْبُوكٍ،

They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image.

وَأَبْدَلُوا مَجْدَهُمْ بِمِثَالِ ثَوْرٍ آكِلِ عُشْبٍ.

Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.

نَسُوا اللهَ مُخَلِّصَهُمُ، الصَّانِعَ عَظَائِمَ فِي مِصْرَ،

They forgat God their saviour, which had done great things in Egypt;

وَعَجَائِبَ فِي أَرْضِ حَامٍ، وَمَخَاوِفَ عَلَى بَحْرِ سُوفٍ،

Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible things by the Red sea.

فَقَالَ بِإِهْلاَكِهِمْ. لَوْلاَ مُوسَى مُخْتَارُهُ وَقَفَ فِي الثَّغْرِ قُدَّامَهُ لِيَصْرِفَ غَضَبَهُ عَنْ إِتْلاَفِهِمْ.

Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them.

وَرَذَلُوا الأَرْضَ الشَّهِيَّةَ. لَمْ يُؤْمِنُوا بِكَلِمَتِهِ.

Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his word:

بَلْ تَمَرْمَرُوا فِي خِيَامِهِمْ. لَمْ يَسْمَعُوا لِصَوْتِ الرَّبِّ،

But murmured in their tents, and hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD.

فَرَفَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَيْهِمْ لِيُسْقِطَهُمْ فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ،

Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness:

وَلِيُسْقِطَ نَسْلَهُمْ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ، وَلِيُبَدِّدَهُمْ فِي الأَرَاضِي.

To overthrow their seed also among the nations, and to scatter them in the lands.

وَتَعَلَّقُوا بِبَعْلِ فَغُورَ، وَأَكَلُوا ذَبَائِحَ الْمَوْتَى.

They joined themselves also unto Baal–peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.

وَأَغَاظُوهُ بِأَعْمَالِهِمْ فَاقْتَحَمَهُمُ الْوَبَأُ.

Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions: and the plague brake in upon them.

فَوَقَفَ فِينَحَاسُ وَدَانَ، فَامْتَنَعَ الْوَبَأُ.

Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and so the plague was stayed.

فَحُسِبَ لَهُ ذلِكَ بِرًّا إِلَى دَوْرٍ فَدَوْرٍ، إِلَى الأَبَدِ.

And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto all generations for evermore.

وَأَسْخَطُوهُ عَلَى مَاءِ مَرِيبَةَ حَتَّى تَأَذَّى مُوسَى بِسَبَبِهِمْ.

They angered him also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes:

لأَنَّهُمْ أَمَرُّوا رُوحَهُ حَتَّى فَرَطَ بِشَفَتَيْهِ.

Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake unadvisedly with his lips.

لَمْ يَسْتَأْصِلُوا الأُمَمَ الَّذِينَ قَالَ لَهُمُ الرَّبُّ عَنْهُمْ،

They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the LORD commanded them:

بَلِ اخْتَلَطُوا بِالأُمَمِ وَتَعَلَّمُوا أَعْمَالَهُمْ.

But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works.

وَعَبَدُوا أَصْنَامَهُمْ، فَصَارَتْ لَهُمْ شَرَكًا.

And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them.

وَذَبَحُوا بَنِيهِمْ وَبَنَاتِهِمْ لِلأَوْثَانِ.

Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils,

وَأَهْرَقُوا دَمًا زَكِيًّا، دَمَ بَنِيهِمْ وَبَنَاتِهِمِ الَّذِينَ ذَبَحُوهُمْ لأَصْنَامِ كَنْعَانَ، وَتَدَنَّسَتِ الأَرْضُ بِالدِّمَاءِ.

And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.

وَتَنَجَّسُوا بِأَعْمَالِهِمْ وَزَنَوْا بِأَفْعَالِهِمْ.

Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions.

فَحَمِيَ غَضَبُ الرَّبِّ عَلَى شَعْبِهِ، وَكَرِهَ مِيرَاثَهُ.

Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.

وَأَسْلَمَهُمْ لِيَدِ الأُمَمِ، وَتَسَلَّطَ عَلَيْهِمْ مُبْغِضُوهُمْ.

And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they that hated them ruled over them.

وَضَغَطَهُمْ أَعْدَاؤُهُمْ، فَذَلُّوا تَحْتَ يَدِهِمْ.

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

مَرَّاتٍ كَثِيرَةً أَنْقَذَهُمْ، أَمَّا هُمْ فَعَصَوْهُ بِمَشُورَتِهِمْ وَانْحَطُّوا بِإِثْمِهِمْ.

Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked him with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity.

فَنَظَرَ إِلَى ضِيقِهِمْ إِذْ سَمِعَ صُرَاخَهُمْ.

Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry:

وَذَكَرَ لَهُمْ عَهْدَهُ، وَنَدِمَ حَسَبَ كَثْرَةِ رَحْمَتِهِ.

And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.

وَأَعْطَاهُمْ نِعْمَةً قُدَّامَ كُلِّ الَّذِينَ سَبَوْهُمْ.

He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them captives.

خَلِّصْنَا أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ إِلهُنَا، وَاجْمَعْنَا مِنْ بَيْنِ الأُمَمِ، لِنَحْمَدَ اسْمَ قُدْسِكَ، وَنَتَفَاخَرَ بِتَسْبِيحِكَ.

Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the heathen, to give thanks unto thy holy name, and to triumph in thy praise.

مُبَارَكٌ الرَّبُّ إِلهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنَ الأَزَلِ وَإِلَى الأَبَدِ. وَيَقُولُ كُلُّ الشَّعْبِ: «آمِينَ». هَلِّلُويَا.

Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting: and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the LORD.
