< اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 102 >

صَلَاةٌ لِمِسْكِينٍ إِذَا أَعْيَا وَسَكَبَ شَكْوَاهُ قُدَّامَ ٱللهِ يَارَبُّ، ٱسْتَمِعْ صَلَاتِي، وَلْيَدْخُلْ إِلَيْكَ صُرَاخِي. ١ 1
The prayer: for a weary and suffering person who pours out their grief to the Lord. Hear my prayer, O Lord; let my cry for help come to you.
لَا تَحْجُبْ وَجْهَكَ عَنِّي فِي يَوْمِ ضِيقِي. أَمِلْ إِلَيَّ أُذُنَكَ فِي يَوْمِ أَدْعُوكَ. ٱسْتَجِبْ لِي سَرِيعًا. ٢ 2
Hide not your face from me in the day of my distress. Incline your ear to me: when I call, answer me speedily.
لِأَنَّ أَيَّامِي قَدْ فَنِيَتْ فِي دُخَانٍ، وَعِظَامِي مِثْلُ وَقِيدٍ قَدْ يَبِسَتْ. ٣ 3
For my days pass away like smoke: my bones are burned through as with fire.
مَلْفُوحٌ كَٱلْعُشْبِ وَيَابِسٌ قَلْبِي، حَتَّى سَهَوْتُ عَنْ أَكْلِ خُبْزِي. ٤ 4
My heart is scorched, withered like grass; I forget to eat my bread.
مِنْ صَوْتِ تَنَهُّدِي لَصِقَ عَظْمِي بِلَحْمِي. ٥ 5
By reason of my loud groaning, my flesh clings to my bones.
أَشْبَهْتُ قُوقَ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ. صِرْتُ مِثْلَ بُومَةِ ٱلْخِرَبِ. ٦ 6
Like a desert-owl of the wilderness, like an owl among ruins am I.
سَهِدْتُ وَصِرْتُ كَعُصْفُورٍ مُنْفَرِدٍ عَلَى ٱلسَّطْحِ. ٧ 7
I make my sleepless lament like a bird on the house-top alone.
ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ عَيَّرَنِي أَعْدَائِيَ. ٱلْحَنِقُونَ عَلَيَّ حَلَفُوا عَلَيَّ. ٨ 8
All the day wild foes revile me, using my name for a curse.
إِنِّي قَدْ أَكَلْتُ ٱلرَّمَادَ مِثْلَ ٱلْخُبْزِ، وَمَزَجْتُ شَرَابِي بِدُمُوعٍ، ٩ 9
For ashes have been my bread, and tears have been mixed with my cup.
بِسَبَبِ غَضَبِكَ وَسَخَطِكَ، لِأَنَّكَ حَمَلْتَنِي وَطَرَحْتَنِي. ١٠ 10
Because of your passionate anger, you did raise me, then hurl me to the ground.
أَيَّامِي كَظِلٍّ مَائِلٍ، وَأَنَا مِثْلُ ٱلْعُشْبِ يَبِسْتُ. ١١ 11
My days come to an end, shadows lengthen, I wither like grass.
أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَارَبُّ فَإِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ جَالِسٌ، وَذِكْرُكَ إِلَى دَوْرٍ فَدَوْرٍ. ١٢ 12
But you, O Lord, are enthroned forever, your fame endures to all generations.
أَنْتَ تَقُومُ وَتَرْحَمُ صِهْيَوْنَ، لِأَنَّهُ وَقْتُ ٱلرَّأْفَةِ، لِأَنَّهُ جَاءَ ٱلْمِيعَادُ. ١٣ 13
You will arise and have pity on Zion; it’s time to be gracious; her hour has come.
لِأَنَّ عَبِيدَكَ قَدْ سُرُّوا بِحِجَارَتِهَا، وَحَنُّوا إِلَى تُرَابِهَا. ١٤ 14
For even her stones are dear to your servants, even the dust of her ruins they look on with love.
فَتَخْشَى ٱلْأُمَمُ ٱسْمَ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَكُلُّ مُلُوكِ ٱلْأَرْضِ مَجْدَكَ. ١٥ 15
Then the nations will revere the name of the Lord and all the kings of the earth his glory,
إِذَا بَنَى ٱلرَّبُّ صِهْيَوْنَ يُرَى بِمَجْدِهِ. ١٦ 16
when the Lord shall have built up Zion, and revealed himself in his glory,
ٱلْتَفَتَ إِلَى صَلَاةِ ٱلْمُضْطَرِّ، وَلَمْ يَرْذُلْ دُعَاءَهُمْ. ١٧ 17
in response to the prayer of the destitute, whose prayer he will not despise.
يُكْتَبُ هَذَا لِلدَّوْرِ ٱلْآخِرِ، وشَعْبٌ سَوْفَ يُخْلَقُ يُسَبِّحُ ٱلرَّبَّ: ١٨ 18
Let this be recorded for ages to come, that the Lord may be praised by a people yet unborn.
«لِأَنَّهُ أَشْرَفَ مِنْ عُلْوِ قُدْسِهِ. ٱلرَّبُّ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ نَظَرَ، ١٩ 19
For he shall look down from his holy height, from the heavens the Lord will gaze on the earth,
لِيَسْمَعَ أَنِينَ ٱلْأَسِيرِ، لِيُطْلِقَ بَنِي ٱلْمَوْتِ». ٢٠ 20
to hear the groans of the prisoner, to free those who are doomed to die;
لِكَيْ يُحَدَّثَ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَبِتَسْبِيحِهِ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، ٢١ 21
that people may recount the Lord’s fame in Zion, and the praise of him in Jerusalem,
عِنْدَ ٱجْتِمَاعِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ مَعًا وَٱلْمَمَالِكِ لِعِبَادَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ. ٢٢ 22
when the nations are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to worship the Lord.
ضَعَّفَ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ قُوَّتِي، قَصَّرَ أَيَّامِي. ٢٣ 23
He has broken my strength on the way, he has shortened my days.
أَقُولُ: «يَا إِلَهِي، لَا تَقْبِضْنِي فِي نِصْفِ أَيَّامِي. إِلَى دَهْرِ ٱلدُّهُورِ سِنُوكَ. ٢٤ 24
I will say, ‘My God, take me not hence in the midst of my days. ‘Your years endure age after age.
مِنْ قِدَمٍ أَسَّسْتَ ٱلْأَرْضَ، وَٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ هِيَ عَمَلُ يَدَيْكَ. ٢٥ 25
Of old you have founded the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands.
هِيَ تَبِيدُ وَأَنْتَ تَبْقَى، وَكُلُّهَا كَثَوْبٍ تَبْلَى، كَرِدَاءٍ تُغَيِّرُهُنَّ فَتَتَغَيَّرُ. ٢٦ 26
They shall perish; but you do stand. They shall all wax old like a garment, and change as a robe you will change them.
وَأَنْتَ هُوَ وَسِنُوكَ لَنْ تَنْتَهِيَ. ٢٧ 27
But you are the same, your years are endless.
أَبْنَاءُ عَبِيدِكَ يَسْكُنُونَ، وَذُرِّيَّتُهُمْ تُثَبَّتُ أَمَامَكَ». ٢٨ 28
The children of your servants abide, evermore shall their seed be before you.’
