2 Samuel 22

1 And David sang this song to the LORD on the day the LORD had delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul.

1 وَخَاطَبَ دَاوُدُ الرَّبَّ بِأَبْيَاتِ هَذَا النَّشِيدِ فِي الْيَوْمِ الَّذِي أَنْقَذَهُ فِيهِ الرَّبُّ مِنْ كُلِّ أَعْدَائِهِ، وَمِنْ شَاوُلَ:

2 He said: “The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer.

2 «الرَّبُّ صَخْرَتِي وَحِصْنِي وَمُنْقِذِي.

3 My God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation. My stronghold, my refuge, and my Savior, You save me from violence.

3 إِلَهِي صَخْرَتِي بِهِ أَحْتَمِي، تُرْسِي وَرُكْنُ خَلاصِي. هُوَ حِصْنِي وَمَلْجَإِي وَمُخَلِّصِي. أَنْتَ تُخَلِّصُنِي مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ.

4 I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; so shall I be saved from my enemies.

4 أَدْعُو الرَّبَّ الجَدِيرَ بِكُلِّ حَمْدٍ فَيُخَلِّصُنِي مِنْ أَعْدَائِي.

5 For the waves of death engulfed me; the torrents of chaos overwhelmed me.

5 طَوَّقَتْنِي أَمْوَاجُ الْمَوْتِ وَسُيُولُ الْهَلاكِ غَمَرَتْنِي.

6 The cords of Sheol entangled me; the snares of death confronted me.

6 أَحَاطَتْ بِي حِبَالُ الْهَاوِيَةِ، وَأَطْبَقَتْ عَلَيَّ فِخَاخُ الْمَوْتِ.

7 In my distress I called upon the LORD; I cried out to my God. And from His temple He heard my voice, and my cry for help reached His ears.

7 فِي ضِيقِي دَعَوْتُ الرَّبَّ، وبِإِلَهِي اسْتَغَثْتُ، فَسَمِعَ صَوْتِي مِنْ هَيْكَلِهِ، وَبَلَغَ صُرَاخِي أُذُنَيْهِ.

8 Then the earth shook and quaked; the foundations of the heavens trembled; they were shaken because He burned with anger.

8 عِنْدَئِذٍ ارْتَجَّتِ الأَرْضُ وَتَزَلْزَلَتْ. ارْتَجَفَتْ أَسَاسَاتُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَاهْتَزَّتْ لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ غَضِبَ.

9 Smoke rose from His nostrils, and consuming fire came from His mouth; glowing coals blazed forth.

9 نَفَثَ أَنْفُهُ دُخَاناً، وانْدَلَعَتْ نَارٌ آكِلَةٌ مِنْ فَمِهِ، فَاتَّقَدَ مِنْهَا جَمْرٌ.

10 He parted the heavens and came down with dark clouds beneath His feet.

10 طَأْطَأَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَنَزَلَ، فَكَانَتِ الْغُيُومُ الْمُتَجَهِّمَةُ تَحْتَ قَدَمَيْهِ.

11 He mounted a cherub and flew; He soared on the wings of the wind.

11 امْتَطَى مَرْكَبَةً مِنْ مَلائِكَةِ الْكَرُوبِيمِ وَطَارَ وَتَجَلَّى عَلَى أَجْنِحَةِ الرِّيحِ.

12 He made darkness a canopy around Him, a gathering of water and thick clouds.

12 أَحَاطَتْ بِهِ الظُّلْمَةُ كَالْمِظَلَّاتِ وَاكْتَنَفَتْهُ السُّحُبُ الْمُتَكَاثِفَةُ واللُّجَجُ.

13 From the brightness of His presence coals of fire blazed forth.

13 مِنْ بَهَاءِ طَلْعَتِهِ تَوَهَّجَتْ جَمْرَاتُ نَارٍ.

14 The LORD thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded.

14 أَرْعَدَ الرَّبُّ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَأَطْلَقَ الْعَلِيُّ صَوْتَهُ.

15 He shot His arrows and scattered the foes; He hurled lightning and routed them.

15 أَطْلَقَ سِهَامَهُ فبَدَّدَ الأَعْدَاءَ، وَأَرْسَلَ بُرُوقَهُ فَأَزْعَجَهُمْ.

16 The channels of the sea appeared, and the foundations of the world were exposed at the rebuke of the LORD, at the blast of the breath of His nostrils.

16 ظَهَرَتْ مَجَارِي الْمِيَاهِ الْعَمِيقَةُ وَانْكَشَفَتْ أُسُسُ الْمَسْكُونَةِ مِنْ زَجْرِ الرَّبِّ وَمِنْ رِيحِ أَنْفِهِ اللّافِحَةِ.

17 He reached down from on high and took hold of me; He drew me out of deep waters.

17 مَدَّ الرَّبُّ يَدَهُ مِن الْعُلَى وَأَمْسَكَنِي، انْتَشَلَنِي مِنَ السُّيُولِ الْغَامِرَةِ.

18 He rescued me from my powerful enemy, from foes too mighty for me.

18 أَنْقَذَنِي مِنْ عَدُوِّيَ الْقَوِيِّ، وَخَلَّصَنِي مِنْ مُبْغِضِيَّ لأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا أَقْوَى مِنِّي.

19 They confronted me in my day of calamity, but the LORD was my support.

19 تَصَدَّوْا لِي فِي يَوْمِ بَلِيَّتِي، فَكَانَ الرَّبُّ سَنَدِي.

20 He brought me out into the open; He rescued me because He delighted in me.

20 اقْتَادَنِي إِلَى مَوْضِعٍ رَحِيبٍ، أَنْقَذَنِي لأَنَّهُ سُرَّ بِي.

21 The LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness; He has repaid me according to the cleanness of my hands.

21 يُكَافِئُنِي الرَّبُّ حَسَبَ بِرِّي. وَيُعَوِّضُنِي حَسَبَ طَهَارَةِ يَدَيَّ.

22 For I have kept the ways of the LORD and have not wickedly departed from my God.

22 لأَنِّي سَلَكْتُ دَائِماً فِي طُرُقِ الرَّبِّ، وَلَمْ أَعْصَ إِلَهِي.

23 For all His ordinances are before me; I have not disregarded His statutes.

23 جَعَلْتُ أَحْكَامَهُ دَائِماً نُصْبَ عَيْنِي وَلَمْ أَحِدْ عَنْ فَرَائِضِهِ.

24 And I have been blameless before Him and kept myself from iniquity.

24 فَكُنْتُ كَامِلاً لَدَيْهِ، وَصُنْتُ نَفْسِي مِنَ الإِثْمِ.

25 So the LORD has repaid me according to my righteousness, according to my cleanness in His sight.

25 فَيُكَافِئُنِي الرَّبُّ وَفْقاً لِبِرِّي، وَبِحَسَبِ طَهَارَتِي أَمَامَ عَيْنَيْهِ.

26 To the faithful You show Yourself faithful, to the blameless You show Yourself blameless;

26 مَعَ الرَّحِيمِ تَكُونُ رَحِيماً، وَمَعَ الْكَامِلِ تَكُونُ كَامِلاً.

27 to the pure You show Yourself pure, but to the crooked You show Yourself shrewd.

27 مَعَ الطَّاهِرِ تَكُونُ طَاهِراً، وَمَعَ الْمُعْوَجِّ تَكُونُ مُعْوَجّاً.

28 You save an afflicted people, but Your eyes are on the haughty to bring them down.

28 أَنْتَ تُنْقِذُ الشَّعْبَ الْمُتَضَايِقَ، أَمَّا عَيْنَاكَ فَتُرَاقِبَانِ الْمُتَغَطْرِسِينَ لِتَخْفِضَهْمُ.

29 For You, O LORD, are my lamp; the LORD lights up my darkness.

29 يَا رَبُّ أَنْتَ سِرَاجِي. الرَّبُّ يُضِيءُ ظُلْمَتِي.

30 For in You I can charge an army; with my God I can scale a wall.

30 لأَنِّي بِكَ أَقْتَحِمُ جَيْشاً، وَبِقُوَّةِ إِلَهِي اخْتَرَقْتُ أَسْوَاراً.

31 As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless. He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.

31 مَا أَكْمَلَ طَرِيقَ الرَّبِّ! إِنَّ كَلِمَتَهُ نَقِيَّةٌ، وَهُوَ مِتْرَاسٌ يَحْمِي جَمِيعَ الْمُلْتَجِئِينَ إِلَيْهِ.

32 For who is God besides the LORD? And who is the Rock except our God?

32 لأَنَّهُ مَنْ هُوَ إِلَهٌ غَيْرُ الرَّبِّ؟ وَمَنْ هُوَ صَخْرَةٌ سِوَى إِلَهِنَا؟

33 God is my strong fortress, and He makes my way clear.

33 إِنَّهُ اللهُ الَّذِي يُسَلِّحُنِي بِالْقُوَّةِ، وَيَجْعَلُ طَرِيقِي كَامِلاً.

34 He makes my feet like those of a deer and stations me upon the heights.

34 يَجْعَلُ رِجْلَيَّ كَرِجْلَيِ الإِيَّلِ وَيُقِيمُنِي آمِناً عَلَى الْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ.

35 He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

35 تُدَرِّبُ يَدَيَّ عَلَى فَنِّ الْحَرْبِ فَتَشُدُّ ذِرَاعَايَ قَوْساً مِنْ نُحَاسٍ.

36 You have given me Your shield of salvation, and Your gentleness exalts me.

36 تُعْطِينِي تُرْسَ خَلاصِكَ، وَبِلُطْفِكَ تُعَظِّمُنِي.

37 You broaden the path beneath me so that my ankles do not give way.

37 وَسَّعْتَ طَرِيقِي تَحْتَ قَدَمَيَّ فَلَمْ تَتَعَثَّرْ رِجْلايْ.

38 I pursued my enemies and destroyed them; I did not turn back until they were consumed.

38 أُطَارِدُ أَعْدَائِي فَأُدْرِكُهُمْ، وَلا أَرْجِعُ حَتَّى أُبِيدَهُمْ.

39 I devoured and crushed them so they could not rise; they have fallen under my feet.

39 أَقْضِي عَلَيْهِمْ وَأَسْحَقُهُمْ، فَلا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ النُّهُوضَ، بَلْ يَسْقُطُونَ تَحْتَ قَدَمَيَّ.

40 You have armed me with strength for battle; You have subdued my foes beneath me.

40 تُمَنْطِقُنِي بِحِزَامٍ مِنَ الْقُوَّةِ تَأَهُّباً لِلْقِتَالِ وَتُخْضِعُ لِسُلْطَانِي الْمُتَمَرِّدِينَ عَلَيَّ.

41 You have made my enemies retreat before me; I destroyed those who hated me.

41 تَجْعَلُ أَعْدَائِي يُوَلُّونَ الأَدْبَارَ هَرَباً مِنِّي. وَأُفْنِي الَّذِينَ يُبْغِضُونَنِي.

42 They looked, but there was no one to save them—to the LORD, but He did not answer.

42 يَسْتَغِيثُونَ وَلا مِنْ مُخَلِّصٍ، يُنَادُونَ الرَّبَّ فَلا يَسْتَجِيبُ لَهُمْ.

43 I ground them as the dust of the earth; I crushed and trampled them like mud in the streets.

43 فَأَسْحَقُهُمْ كَغُبَارِ الأَرْضِ، وَمِثْلَ طِينِ الأَسْوَاقِ أَدُقُّهُمْ وَأَدُوسُهُمْ.

44 You have delivered me from the strife of my people; You have preserved me as the head of nations; a people I had not known shall serve me.

44 تُنْقِذُنِي مِنْ مُخَاصَمَاتِ الشَّعْبِ، وَتَجْعَلُنِي سَيِّداً لِلأُمَمِ حَتَّى صَارَ شَعْبٌ لَمْ أَكُنْ أَعْرِفُهُ عَبْداً يَخْدِمُنِي.

45 Foreigners cower before me; when they hear me, they obey me.

45 يُقْبِلُ الْغُرَبَاءُ نَحْوِي مُتَذَلِّلِينَ، وَحَالَمَا يَسْمَعُونَ أَمْرِي يُلَبُّونَهُ.

46 Foreigners lose heart and come trembling from their strongholds.

46 الْغُرَبَاءُ يَخُورُونَ، يَخْرُجُونَ مِنْ حُصُونِهِمْ مُرْتَعِدِينَ.

47 The LORD lives, and blessed be my Rock! And may God, the Rock of my salvation, be exalted—

47 حَيٌّ هُوَ الرَّبُّ، وَمُبَارَكٌ صَخْرَتِي. وَمُتَعَالٍ إِلَهُ خَلاصِي.

48 the God who avenges me and brings down nations beneath me,

48 الإِلَهُ الْمُنْتَقِمُ لِي، الَّذِي يُخْضِعُ الشُّعُوبَ لِسُلْطَانِي.

49 who frees me from my enemies. You exalt me above my foes; You rescue me from violent men.

49 مُنْقِذِي مِنْ أَعْدَائِي، رَافِعِي عَلَى الْمُتَمَرِّدِينَ وَمِنَ الرَّجُلِ الطّاغِي يُخَلِّصُنِي

50 Therefore I will praise You, O LORD, among the nations; I will sing praises to Your name.

50 لِذَلِكَ أُسَبِّحُكَ يَا رَبُّ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ وأُرَنِّمُ لاِسْمِكَ.

51 Great salvation He brings to His king. He shows loving devotion to His anointed, to David and his descendants forever.”

51 يَا مَانِحَ الْخَلاصِ الْعَظِيمِ لِمَلِكِهِ وَصَانِعَ الرَّحْمَةِ لِمَسِيحِهِ، لِدَاوُدَ وَنَسْلِهِ إِلَى الأَبَدِ».
