< اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 139 >

لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ. لِدَاوُدَ. مَزْمُورٌ يَارَبُّ، قَدِ ٱخْتَبَرْتَنِي وَعَرَفْتَنِي. ١ 1
To the Chief Musician, David’s. A Melody. O Yahweh! thou hast searched me, and observed:
أَنْتَ عَرَفْتَ جُلُوسِي وَقِيَامِي. فَهِمْتَ فِكْرِي مِنْ بَعِيدٍ. ٢ 2
Thou, hast observed my downsitting and mine uprising, Thou hast given heed to my desire, from afar:
مَسْلَكِي وَمَرْبَضِي ذَرَّيْتَ، وَكُلَّ طُرُقِي عَرَفْتَ. ٣ 3
My path and my couch, hast thou examined, and, all my ways, thou well knowest.
لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ كَلِمَةٌ فِي لِسَانِي، إِلَّا وَأَنْتَ يَارَبُّ عَرَفْتَهَا كُلَّهَا. ٤ 4
Surely there hath not been a word on my tongue, [but] behold! O Yahweh, thou hast observed it on every side.
مِنْ خَلْفٍ وَمِنْ قُدَّامٍ حَاصَرْتَنِي، وَجَعَلْتَ عَلَيَّ يَدَكَ. ٥ 5
Behind and before, hast thou shut me in, and hast laid upon me thy hand: —
عَجِيبَةٌ هَذِهِ ٱلْمَعْرِفَةُ، فَوْقِي ٱرْتَفَعَتْ، لَا أَسْتَطِيعُهَا. ٦ 6
Knowledge, too wonderful, for me! high, I cannot attain to it!
أَيْنَ أَذْهَبُ مِنْ رُوحِكَ؟ وَمِنْ وَجْهِكَ أَيْنَ أَهْرُبُ؟ ٧ 7
Whither can I go from thy spirit? or whither, from thy face, can I flee?
إِنْ صَعِدْتُ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ فَأَنْتَ هُنَاكَ، وَإِنْ فَرَشْتُ فِي ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ فَهَا أَنْتَ. (Sheol h7585) ٨ 8
If I ascend the heavens, there, thou art! If I spread out hades as my couch, behold thee! (Sheol h7585)
إِنْ أَخَذْتُ جَنَاحَيِ ٱلصُّبْحِ، وَسَكَنْتُ فِي أَقَاصِي ٱلْبَحْرِ، ٩ 9
If I mount the wings of the dawn, settle down in the region beyond the sea,
فَهُنَاكَ أَيْضًا تَهْدِينِي يَدُكَ وَتُمْسِكُنِي يَمِينُكَ. ١٠ 10
Even there, thy hand shall lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
فَقُلْتُ: «إِنَّمَا ٱلظُّلْمَةُ تَغْشَانِي». فَٱللَّيْلُ يُضِيءُ حَوْلِي! ١١ 11
If I say, Surely, darkness, shall cover me! then, night, is light about me.
ٱلظُّلْمَةُ أَيْضًا لَا تُظْلِمُ لَدَيْكَ، وَٱللَّيْلُ مِثْلَ ٱلنَّهَارِ يُضِيءُ. كَٱلظُّلْمَةِ هَكَذَا ٱلنُّورُ. ١٢ 12
Even darkness, will not conceal from thee, —but, night, like day, will shine, So is the darkness, as the light!
لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ ٱقْتَنَيْتَ كُلْيَتَيَّ. نَسَجْتَنِي فِي بَطْنِ أُمِّي. ١٣ 13
For, thou, didst possess thyself of my reins, thou didst weave me together in the womb of my mother.
أَحْمَدُكَ مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنِّي قَدِ ٱمْتَزْتُ عَجَبًا. عَجِيبَةٌ هِيَ أَعْمَالُكَ، وَنَفْسِي تَعْرِفُ ذَلِكَ يَقِينًا. ١٤ 14
I thank thee, in that fearfully was my being distinguished, Wonderful are thy works, and, mine own soul, is observing [them] intently!
لَمْ تَخْتَفِ عَنْكَ عِظَامِي حِينَمَا صُنِعْتُ فِي ٱلْخَفَاءِ، وَرُقِمْتُ فِي أَعْمَاقِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. ١٥ 15
My substance was not hid from thee, —when I was made in secret, when I was skilfully figured in the lower parts of the earth.
رَأَتْ عَيْنَاكَ أَعْضَائِي، وَفِي سِفْرِكَ كُلُّهَا كُتِبَتْ يَوْمَ تَصَوَّرَتْ، إِذْ لَمْ يَكُنْ وَاحِدٌ مِنْهَا. ١٦ 16
Mine unfinished substance, thine eyes beheld, and, in thy book, all the parts thereof were written, —the days they should be fashioned! while yet there was not one among them.
مَا أَكْرَمَ أَفْكَارَكَ يَا ٱللهُ عِنْدِي! مَا أَكْثَرَ جُمْلَتَهَا! ١٧ 17
To me, then, how precious have thy desires become, O GOD! How numerous, the heads of them!
إِنْ أُحْصِهَا فَهِيَ أَكْثَرُ مِنَ ٱلرَّمْلِ. ٱسْتَيْقَظْتُ وَأَنَا بَعْدُ مَعَكَ. ١٨ 18
I would recount them! Beyond the sands, they multiply, I rouse myself—and am still with thee.
لَيْتَكَ تَقْتُلُ ٱلْأَشْرَارَ يَا ٱللهُ. فَيَا رِجَالَ ٱلدِّمَاءِ، ٱبْعُدُوا عَنِّي. ١٩ 19
Wilt thou not, O GOD, slay the lawless one? Therefore, ye men of bloodshed, depart from me!
ٱلَّذِينَ يُكَلِّمُونَكَ بِٱلْمَكْرِ نَاطِقِينَ بِٱلْكَذِبِ، هُمْ أَعْدَاؤُكَ. ٢٠ 20
For they speak of thee wickedly, Thy foes lift up [their hand] unto falsehood.
أَلَا أُبْغِضُ مُبْغِضِيكَ يَارَبُّ، وَأَمْقُتُ مُقَاوِمِيكَ؟ ٢١ 21
Do I not hate, them who hate thee, O Yahweh? And loathe, them who rise up against thee?
بُغْضًا تَامًّا أَبْغَضْتُهُمْ. صَارُوا لِي أَعْدَاءً. ٢٢ 22
With completeness of hatred, I hate them, As enemies, have they become to me.
ٱخْتَبِرْنِي يَا ٱللهُ وَٱعْرِفْ قَلْبِي. ٱمْتَحِنِّي وَٱعْرِفْ أَفْكَارِي. ٢٣ 23
Search me, O GOD, and observe my heart, Try me, and observe my cares;
وَٱنْظُرْ إِنْ كَانَ فِيَّ طَرِيقٌ بَاطِلٌ، وَٱهْدِنِي طَرِيقًا أَبَدِيًّا. ٢٤ 24
And see if there be any idol-way in me, and lead me in a way age-abiding.
