Psalm 115 – NIRV & NAV

New International Reader’s Version

Psalm 115:1-18

Psalm 115

1Lord, may glory be given to you, not to us.

You are loving and faithful.

2Why do the nations ask,

“Where is their God?”

3Our God is in heaven.

He does anything he wants to do.

4But the statues of their gods are made out of silver and gold.

They are made by human hands.

5They have mouths but can’t speak.

They have eyes but can’t see.

6They have ears but can’t hear.

They have noses but can’t smell.

7They have hands but can’t feel.

They have feet but can’t walk.

They have throats but can’t say anything.

8Those who make statues of gods will be like them.

So will all those who trust in them.

9All you Israelites, trust in the Lord.

He helps you like a shield that keeps you safe.

10Priests of Aaron, trust in the Lord.

He helps you like a shield that keeps you safe.

11You who have respect for the Lord, trust in him.

He helps you like a shield that keeps you safe.

12The Lord remembers us and will bless us.

He will bless Israel, his people.

He will bless the priests of Aaron.

13The Lord will bless those who have respect for him.

He will bless important and unimportant people alike.

14May the Lord give you many children.

May he give them to you and to your children after you.

15May the Lord bless you.

He is the Maker of heaven and earth.

16The highest heavens belong to the Lord.

But he has given the earth to human beings.

17Dead people don’t praise the Lord.

Those who lie quietly in the grave don’t praise him.

18But we who are alive praise the Lord,

both now and forever.

Praise the Lord.

مزمور 115:1-18

الْمَزْمُورُ الْمِئَةُ وَالْخَامِسَ عَشَرَ

1لَا تُمَجِّدْنَا يَا رَبُّ، بَلْ مَجِّدِ اسْمَكَ، مِنْ أَجْلِ رَحْمَتِكَ وَحَقِّكَ. 2لِمَاذَا تَسْأَلُنَا الأُمَمُ: أَيْنَ هُوَ إِلَهُكُمْ؟ 3إِنَّ إِلَهَنَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ. كُلَّ مَا شَاءَ صَنَعَ. 4أَمَّا أَوْثَانُهُمْ فَهِيَ فِضَّةٌ وَذَهَبٌ مِنْ صُنْعِ أَيْدِي الْبَشَرِ. 5لَهَا أَفْوَاهٌ لَكِنَّهَا لَا تَنْطِقُ. لَهَا عُيُونٌ وَلَكِنَّهَا لَا تُبْصِرُ. 6وَآذَانٌ لَكِنَّهَا لَا تَسْمَعُ. وَأُنُوفٌ لَكِنَّهَا لَا تَشُمُّ. 7لَهَا أَيْدٍ لَكِنَّهَا لَا تَلْمَسُ. وَأَرْجُلٌ لَكِنَّهَا لَا تَمْشِي، وَلَا تُصْدِرُ مِنْ حَنَاجِرِهَا صَوْتاً. 8مِثْلَهَا يَصِيرُ صَانِعُوهَا وَكُلُّ مَنْ يَتَوَكَّلُ عَلَيْهَا.

9اتَّكِلُوا عَلَى الرَّبِّ يَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، هُوَ عَوْنُكُمْ وَتُرْسُكُمْ. 10اتَّكِلُوا عَلَى الرَّبِّ يَا بَيْتَ هَارُونَ: هُوَ عَوْنُكُمْ وَتُرْسُكُمْ. 11اتَّكِلُوا عَلَى الرَّبِّ يَا خَائِفِي الرَّبِّ: هُوَ عَوْنُكُمْ وَتُرْسُكُمْ. 12الرَّبُّ ذَكَرَنَا وَيُبَارِكُنَا. يُبَارِكُ شَعْبَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، يُبَارِكُ الرَّبُّ آلَ هَارُونَ. 13يُبَارِكُ كُلَّ مَنْ يَتَّقِيهِ، صِغَارَهُمْ وَكِبَارَهُمْ. 14لِيَزِدِ الرَّبُّ بَرَكَتَهُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَعَلَى أَوْلادِكُمْ. 15لِيُبَارِكْكُمُ الرَّبُّ، خَالِقُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ. 16السَّمَاوَاتُ لِلرَّبِّ وَحْدَهُ، أَمَّا الأَرْضُ فَوَهَبَهَا لِبَنِي آدَمَ. 17لَا يُسَبِّحُ الأَمْوَاتُ الرَّبَّ، وَلَا الهَاجِعُونَ فِي الْقُبُورِ. 18أَمَّا نَحْنُ فَنُبَارِكُ الرَّبَّ مِنَ الآنَ وَإِلَى الدَّهْرِ. هَلِّلُويَا.
