اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 102

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

A Prayer of the afflicted when he is feeble, and before Jehovah poureth out his plaint. O Jehovah, hear my prayer, yea, my cry to Thee cometh.

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

Hide not Thou Thy face from me, In a day of mine adversity, Incline unto me Thine ear, In the day I call, haste, answer me.

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

For consumed in smoke have been my days, And my bones as a fire-brand have burned.

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

Smitten as the herb, and withered, is my heart, For I have forgotten to eat my bread.

٥ 5 مِنْ صَوْتِ تَنَهُّدِي لَصِقَ عَظْمِي بِلَحْمِي.

From the voice of my sighing Hath my bone cleaved to my flesh.

٦ 6 أَشْبَهْتُ قُوقَ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ. صِرْتُ مِثْلَ بُومَةِ ٱلْخِرَبِ.

I have been like to a pelican of the wilderness, I have been as an owl of the dry places.

٧ 7 سَهِدْتُ وَصِرْتُ كَعُصْفُورٍ مُنْفَرِدٍ عَلَى ٱلسَّطْحِ.

I have watched, and I am As a bird alone on the roof.

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

All the day mine enemies reproached me, Those mad at me have sworn against me.

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

Because ashes as bread I have eaten, And my drink with weeping have mingled,

١٠ 10 بِسَبَبِ غَضَبِكَ وَسَخَطِكَ، لِأَنَّكَ حَمَلْتَنِي وَطَرَحْتَنِي.

From Thine indignation and Thy wrath, For Thou hast lifted me up, And dost cast me down.

١١ 11 أَيَّامِي كَظِلٍّ مَائِلٍ، وَأَنَا مِثْلُ ٱلْعُشْبِ يَبِسْتُ.

My days as a shadow [are] stretched out, And I — as the herb I am withered.

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

And Thou, O Jehovah, to the age abidest, And Thy memorial to all generations.

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

Thou — Thou risest — Thou pitiest Zion, For the time to favour her, For the appointed time hath come.

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

For Thy servants have been pleased with her stones, And her dust they favour.

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

And nations fear the name of Jehovah, And all kings of the earth Thine honour,

١٦ 16 إِذَا بَنَى ٱلرَّبُّ صِهْيَوْنَ يُرَى بِمَجْدِهِ.

For Jehovah hath builded Zion, He hath been seen in His honour,

١٧ 17 ٱلْتَفَتَ إِلَى صَلَاةِ ٱلْمُضْطَرِّ، وَلَمْ يَرْذُلْ دُعَاءَهُمْ.

He turned unto the prayer of the destitute, And He hath not despised their prayer.

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

This is written for a later generation, And the people created do praise Jah.

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

For He hath looked From the high place of His sanctuary. Jehovah from heaven unto earth looked attentively,

٢٠ 20 لِيَسْمَعَ أَنِينَ ٱلْأَسِيرِ، لِيُطْلِقَ بَنِي ٱلْمَوْتِ».

To hear the groan of the prisoner, To loose sons of death,

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

To declare in Zion the name of Jehovah, And His praise in Jerusalem,

٢٢ 22 عِنْدَ ٱجْتِمَاعِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ مَعًا وَٱلْمَمَالِكِ لِعِبَادَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ.

In the peoples being gathered together, And the kingdoms — to serve Jehovah.

٢٣ 23 ضَعَّفَ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ قُوَّتِي، قَصَّرَ أَيَّامِي.

He hath humbled in the way my power, He hath shortened my days.

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

I say, 'My God, take me not up in the midst of my days,' Through all generations [are] Thine years.

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

Beforetime the earth Thou didst found, And the work of Thy hands [are] the heavens.

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

They — They perish, and Thou remainest, And all of them as a garment become old, As clothing Thou changest them, And they are changed.

٢٧ 27 وَأَنْتَ هُوَ وَسِنُوكَ لَنْ تَنْتَهِيَ.

And Thou [art] the same, and Thine years are not finished.

٢٨ 28 أَبْنَاءُ عَبِيدِكَ يَسْكُنُونَ، وَذُرِّيَّتُهُمْ تُثَبَّتُ أَمَامَكَ».

The sons of Thy servants do continue, And their seed before Thee is established!
