Psalms 132

1 A song of ascents. O LORD, remember on behalf of David all the hardships he endured,

1 اذْكُرْ يَا رَبُّ دَاوُدَ وَكُلَّ مُعَانَاتِهِ.

2 how he swore an oath to the LORD, and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:

2 اذْكُرْ كَيْفَ أَقْسَمَ لِلرَّبِّ وَنَذَرَ لإِلَهِ يَعْقُوبَ الْقَدِيرِ:

3 “I will not enter my house or get into my bed,

3 «لَنْ أَدْخُلَ بَيْتَ سُكْنَايَ، وَلَنْ أَعْلُوَ فِرَاشِي،

4 I will not give sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids,

4 وَلَنْ أُعْطِيَ عَيْنَيَّ نَوْماً وَلَا أَجْفَانِي نُعَاساً،

5 until I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”

5 حَتَّى أَبْنِيَ مَقَاماً لِتَابُوتِ الرَّبِّ، وَمَسْكِناً لإِلَهِ يَعْقُوبَ الْقَدِيرِ».

6 We heard that the ark was in Ephrathah; we found it in the fields of Jaar.

6 فِي أَفْرَاتَةَ سَمِعْنَا بِهِ، وَفِي حُقُولِ الْوَعْرِ وَجَدْنَاهُ،

7 Let us go to His dwelling place; let us worship at His footstool.

7 فَقُلْنَا: «لِنَدْخُلْ إِلَى بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ، وَلْنَسْجُدْ عِنْدَ مَوْطِئِ قَدَمَيْهِ».

8 Arise, O LORD, to Your resting place, You and the ark of Your strength.

8 عُدْ إِلَى هَيْكَلِكَ يَا رَبُّ، أَنْتَ وَتَابُوتُ عِزَّتِكَ.

9 May Your priests be clothed with righteousness, and Your saints shout for joy.

9 لِيَرْتَدِ كَهَنَتُكَ البِرَّ ثَوْباً، وَلِيَهْتِفْ أَتْقِيَاؤُكَ فَرَحاً.

10 For the sake of Your servant David, do not reject Your anointed one.

10 مِنْ أَجْلِ دَاوُدَ عَبْدِكَ لَا تَرْفُضْ طَلَبَ مَلِكِكَ الْمَمْسُوحِ.

11 The LORD swore an oath to David, a promise He will not revoke: “One of your descendants I will place on your throne.

11 قَدْ أَقْسَمَ الرَّبُّ لِدَاوُدَ قَسَماً صَادِقاً لَا يَرْجِعُ عَنْهُ: «مِنْ ثَمَرَةِ بَطْنِكَ أُقِيمُ مَلِكاً عَلَى عَرْشِكَ.

12 If your sons keep My covenant and the testimony I will teach them, then their sons will also sit on your throne forever and ever.”

12 إِذَا حَفِظَ بَنُوكَ عَهْدِي وَشَهَادَاتِي الَّتِي أُعَلِّمُهُمْ إِيَّاهَا، يَجْلِسُ بَنُوهُمْ أَيْضاً عَلَى عَرْشِكَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ».

13 For the LORD has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His home:

13 لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدِ اخْتَارَ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَرَغِبَ أَن تَكُونَ لَهُ مَسْكَناً.

14 “This is My resting place forever and ever; here I will dwell, for I have desired this home.

14 وَقَالَ: «هَذِهِ مَقَرُّ رَاحَتِي إِلَى الأَبَدِ، فِيهَا أَسْكُنُ لأَنِّي أَحْبَبْتُهَا.

15 I will bless her with abundant provisions; I will satisfy her poor with bread.

15 أُبَارِكُ غَلَّاتِهَا بَرَكَةً جَزِيلَةً، وَأُشْبِعُ مَسَاكِينَهَا خُبْزاً.

16 I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints will sing out in joy.

16 أُلْبِسُ كَهَنَتَهَا ثَوْبَ الْخَلاصِ، فَيَهْتِفُ قِدِّيسُوهَا مُتَرَنِّمِينَ.

17 There I will make a horn grow for David; I have prepared a lamp for My anointed one.

17 أُقِيمُ هُنَاكَ مَلِكاً عَظِيماً مِنْ أَصْلِ دَاوُدَ، وَأُعِدُّ سِرَاجاً مُنِيراً لِمَنْ أَمْسَحُهُ.

18 I will clothe his enemies with shame, but the crown upon him will gleam.”

18 أَكْسُو أَعْدَاءَهُ خِزْياً. أَمَّا هُوَ، فَعَلَى رَأْسِهِ يَتَأَلَّقُ تَاجُهُ».
