اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 102

١ 1 صَلَاةٌ لِمِسْكِينٍ إِذَا أَعْيَا وَسَكَبَ شَكْوَاهُ قُدَّامَ ٱللهِ يَارَبُّ، ٱسْتَمِعْ صَلَاتِي، وَلْيَدْخُلْ إِلَيْكَ صُرَاخِي.

Hear my prayer, O LORD, and let my cry come unto you.

٢ 2 لَا تَحْجُبْ وَجْهَكَ عَنِّي فِي يَوْمِ ضِيقِي. أَمِلْ إِلَيَّ أُذُنَكَ فِي يَوْمِ أَدْعُوكَ. ٱسْتَجِبْ لِي سَرِيعًا.

Hide not your face from me in the day when I am in trouble; incline your ear unto me: in the day when I call answer me speedily.

٣ 3 لِأَنَّ أَيَّامِي قَدْ فَنِيَتْ فِي دُخَانٍ، وَعِظَامِي مِثْلُ وَقِيدٍ قَدْ يَبِسَتْ.

For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as an hearth.

٤ 4 مَلْفُوحٌ كَٱلْعُشْبِ وَيَابِسٌ قَلْبِي، حَتَّى سَهَوْتُ عَنْ أَكْلِ خُبْزِي.

My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread.

٥ 5 مِنْ صَوْتِ تَنَهُّدِي لَصِقَ عَظْمِي بِلَحْمِي.

By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin.

٦ 6 أَشْبَهْتُ قُوقَ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ. صِرْتُ مِثْلَ بُومَةِ ٱلْخِرَبِ.

I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert.

٧ 7 سَهِدْتُ وَصِرْتُ كَعُصْفُورٍ مُنْفَرِدٍ عَلَى ٱلسَّطْحِ.

I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.

٨ 8 ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ عَيَّرَنِي أَعْدَائِيَ. ٱلْحَنِقُونَ عَلَيَّ حَلَفُوا عَلَيَّ.

Mine enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad against me are sworn against me.

٩ 9 إِنِّي قَدْ أَكَلْتُ ٱلرَّمَادَ مِثْلَ ٱلْخُبْزِ، وَمَزَجْتُ شَرَابِي بِدُمُوعٍ،

For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping.

١٠ 10 بِسَبَبِ غَضَبِكَ وَسَخَطِكَ، لِأَنَّكَ حَمَلْتَنِي وَطَرَحْتَنِي.

Because of your indignation and your wrath: for you have lifted me up, and cast me down.

١١ 11 أَيَّامِي كَظِلٍّ مَائِلٍ، وَأَنَا مِثْلُ ٱلْعُشْبِ يَبِسْتُ.

My days are like a shadow that declines; and I am withered like grass.

١٢ 12 أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَارَبُّ فَإِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ جَالِسٌ، وَذِكْرُكَ إِلَى دَوْرٍ فَدَوْرٍ.

But you, O LORD, shall endure for ever; and your remembrance unto all generations.

١٣ 13 أَنْتَ تَقُومُ وَتَرْحَمُ صِهْيَوْنَ، لِأَنَّهُ وَقْتُ ٱلرَّأْفَةِ، لِأَنَّهُ جَاءَ ٱلْمِيعَادُ.

You shall arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, has come.

١٤ 14 لِأَنَّ عَبِيدَكَ قَدْ سُرُّوا بِحِجَارَتِهَا، وَحَنُّوا إِلَى تُرَابِهَا.

For your servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour the dust thereof.

١٥ 15 فَتَخْشَى ٱلْأُمَمُ ٱسْمَ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَكُلُّ مُلُوكِ ٱلْأَرْضِ مَجْدَكَ.

So the heathen shall fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth your glory.

١٦ 16 إِذَا بَنَى ٱلرَّبُّ صِهْيَوْنَ يُرَى بِمَجْدِهِ.

When the LORD shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory.

١٧ 17 ٱلْتَفَتَ إِلَى صَلَاةِ ٱلْمُضْطَرِّ، وَلَمْ يَرْذُلْ دُعَاءَهُمْ.

He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer.

١٨ 18 يُكْتَبُ هَذَا لِلدَّوْرِ ٱلْآخِرِ، وشَعْبٌ سَوْفَ يُخْلَقُ يُسَبِّحُ ٱلرَّبَّ:

This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the LORD.

١٩ 19 «لِأَنَّهُ أَشْرَفَ مِنْ عُلْوِ قُدْسِهِ. ٱلرَّبُّ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ نَظَرَ،

For he has looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the LORD behold the earth;

٢٠ 20 لِيَسْمَعَ أَنِينَ ٱلْأَسِيرِ، لِيُطْلِقَ بَنِي ٱلْمَوْتِ».

To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death;

٢١ 21 لِكَيْ يُحَدَّثَ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَبِتَسْبِيحِهِ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ،

To declare the name of the LORD in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem;

٢٢ 22 عِنْدَ ٱجْتِمَاعِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ مَعًا وَٱلْمَمَالِكِ لِعِبَادَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ.

When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the LORD.

٢٣ 23 ضَعَّفَ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ قُوَّتِي، قَصَّرَ أَيَّامِي.

He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my days.

٢٤ 24 أَقُولُ: «يَا إِلَهِي، لَا تَقْبِضْنِي فِي نِصْفِ أَيَّامِي. إِلَى دَهْرِ ٱلدُّهُورِ سِنُوكَ.

I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: your years are throughout all generations.

٢٥ 25 مِنْ قِدَمٍ أَسَّسْتَ ٱلْأَرْضَ، وَٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ هِيَ عَمَلُ يَدَيْكَ.

Of old have you laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of your hands.

٢٦ 26 هِيَ تَبِيدُ وَأَنْتَ تَبْقَى، وَكُلُّهَا كَثَوْبٍ تَبْلَى، كَرِدَاءٍ تُغَيِّرُهُنَّ فَتَتَغَيَّرُ.

They shall perish, but you shall endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shall you change them, and they shall be changed:

٢٧ 27 وَأَنْتَ هُوَ وَسِنُوكَ لَنْ تَنْتَهِيَ.

But you are the same, and your years shall have no end.

٢٨ 28 أَبْنَاءُ عَبِيدِكَ يَسْكُنُونَ، وَذُرِّيَّتُهُمْ تُثَبَّتُ أَمَامَكَ».

The children of your servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established before you.
