تَرْنِيمَةُ ٱلْمَصَاعِدِ «كَثِيرًا مَا ضَايَقُونِي مُنْذُ شَبَابِي». لِيَقُلْ إِسْرَائِيلُ: ١ 1
A song of ascents. ‘Sore have they vexed me from youth’ thus let Israel say
«كَثِيرًا مَا ضَايَقُونِي مُنْذُ شَبَابِي، لَكِنْ لَمْ يَقْدِرُوا عَلَيَّ. ٢ 2
‘Sore have they vexed me from youth, but they have not prevailed against me.
عَلَى ظَهْرِي حَرَثَ ٱلْحُرَّاثُ. طَوَّلُوا أَتْلَامَهُمْ». ٣ 3
‘The ploughers ploughed on my back, they made their furrows long.
ٱلرَّبُّ صِدِّيقٌ. قَطَعَ رُبُطَ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ. ٤ 4
But the Lord, who is righteous, has cut the cords of the wicked.’
فَلْيَخْزَ وَلْيَرْتَدَّ إِلَى ٱلْوَرَاءِ كُلُّ مُبْغِضِي صِهْيَوْنَ. ٥ 5
Let all who are haters of Zion be put to shame and defeated.
لِيَكُونُوا كَعُشْبِ ٱلسُّطُوحِ ٱلَّذِي يَيْبَسُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُقْلَعَ، ٦ 6
May they be as the grass on the house-top, which withers before it shoots up;
ٱلَّذِي لَا يَمْلَأُ ٱلْحَاصِدُ كَفَّهُ مِنْهُ وَلَا ٱلْمُحَزِّمُ حِضْنَهُ. ٧ 7
which fills not the arms of the reaper, nor the lap of the binder of sheaves
وَلَا يَقُولُ ٱلْعَابِرُونَ: «بَرَكَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَيْكُمْ. بَارَكْنَاكُمْ بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ». ٨ 8
whereof no one says as they pass, ‘The blessing of God be upon you.’ In the name of the Lord we bless you.
