اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 35

١ 1 لِدَاوُدَ خَاصِمْ يَارَبُّ مُخَاصِمِيَّ. قَاتِلْ مُقَاتِلِيَّ.

[A Psalm] of David. Strive, O Jehovah, with them that strive with me; fight against them that fight against me:

٢ 2 أَمْسِكْ مِجَنًّا وَتُرْسًا وَٱنْهَضْ إِلَى مَعُونَتِي،

Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for my help;

٣ 3 وَأَشْرِعْ رُمْحًا وَصُدَّ تِلْقَاءَ مُطَارِدِيَّ. قُلْ لِنَفْسِي: «خَلَاصُكِ أَنَا».

And draw out the spear, and stop [the way] against my pursuers: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.

٤ 4 لِيَخْزَ وَلْيَخْجَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَطْلُبُونَ نَفْسِي. لِيَرْتَدَّ إِلَى ٱلْوَرَاءِ وَيَخْجَلِ ٱلْمُتَفَكِّرُونَ بِإِسَاءَتِي.

Let them be put to shame and confounded that seek after my life; let them be turned backward and brought to confusion that devise my hurt:

٥ 5 لِيَكُونُوا مِثْلَ ٱلْعُصَافَةِ قُدَّامَ ٱلرِّيحِ، وَمَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ دَاحِرُهُمْ.

Let them be as chaff before the wind, and let the angel of Jehovah drive [them] away;

٦ 6 لِيَكُنْ طَرِيقُهُمْ ظَلَامًا وَزَلَقًا، وَمَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ طَارِدُهُمْ.

Let their way be dark and slippery, and let the angel of Jehovah pursue them.

٧ 7 لِأَنَّهُمْ بِلَا سَبَبٍ أَخْفَوْا لِي هُوَّةَ شَبَكَتِهِمْ. بِلَا سَبَبٍحَفَرُوا لِنَفْسِي.

For without cause have they hidden for me their net [in] a pit; without cause they have digged [it] for my soul.

٨ 8 لِتَأْتِهِ ٱلتَّهْلُكَةُ وَهُوَ لَا يَعْلَمُ، وَلْتَنْشَبْ بِهِ ٱلشَّبَكَةُ ٱلَّتِي أَخْفَاهَا، وَفِي ٱلتَّهْلُكَةِ نَفْسِهَا لِيَقَعْ.

Let destruction come upon him unawares, and let his net which he hath hidden catch himself: for destruction let him fall therein.

٩ 9 أَمَّا نَفْسِي فَتَفْرَحُ بِٱلرَّبِّ وَتَبْتَهِجُ بِخَلَاصِهِ.

And my soul shall be joyful in Jehovah; it shall rejoice in his salvation.

١٠ 10 جَمِيعُ عِظَامِي تَقُولُ: «يَارَبُّ، مَنْ مِثْلُكَ ٱلْمُنْقِذُ ٱلْمِسْكِينَ مِمَّنْ هُوَ أَقْوَى مِنْهُ، وَٱلْفَقِيرَ وَٱلْبَائِسَ مِنْ سَالِبِهِ؟».

All my bones shall say, Jehovah, who is like unto thee, who deliverest the afflicted from one stronger than he, yea, the afflicted and the needy from him that spoileth him!

١١ 11 شُهُودُ زُورٍ يَقُومُونَ، وَعَمَّا لَمْ أَعْلَمْ يَسْأَلُونَنِي.

Unrighteous witnesses rise up; they lay to my charge things which I know not.

١٢ 12 يُجَازُونَنِي عَنِ ٱلْخَيْرِ شَرًّا، ثَكَلًا لِنَفْسِي.

They reward me evil for good, [to] the bereavement of my soul.

١٣ 13 أَمَّا أَنَا فَفِي مَرَضِهِمْ كَانَ لِبَاسِي مِسْحًا. أَذْلَلْتُ بِٱلصَّوْمِ نَفْسِي، وَصَلَاتِي إِلَى حِضْنِي تَرْجِعُ.

But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth; I chastened my soul with fasting, and my prayer returned into mine own bosom:

١٤ 14 كَأَنَّهُ قَرِيبٌ، كَأَنَّهُ أَخِي كُنْتُ أَتَمَشَّى. كَمَنْ يَنُوحُ عَلَى أُمِّهِ ٱنْحَنَيْتُ حَزِينًا.

I behaved myself as though [he had been] a friend, a brother to me; I bowed down in sadness, as one that mourneth [for] a mother.

١٥ 15 وَلَكِنَّهُمْ فِي ظَلْعِي فَرِحُوا وَٱجْتَمَعُوا. ٱجْتَمَعُوا عَلَيَّ شَاتِمِينَ وَلَمْ أَعْلَمْ. مَزَّقُوا وَلَمْ يَكُفُّوا.

But at my halting they rejoiced, and gathered together: the slanderers gathered themselves together against me, and I knew [it] not; they did tear [me], and ceased not:

١٦ 16 بَيْنَ ٱلْفُجَّارِ ٱلْمُجَّانِ لِأَجْلِ كَعْكَةٍ حَرَّقُوا عَلَيَّ أَسْنَانَهُمْ.

With profane jesters for bread, they have gnashed their teeth against me.

١٧ 17 يَارَبُّ، إِلَى مَتَى تَنْظُرُ؟ ٱسْتَرِدَّ نَفْسِي مِنْ تَهْلُكَاتِهِمْ، وَحِيدَتِي مِنَ ٱلْأَشْبَالِ.

Lord, how long wilt thou look on? Rescue my soul from their destructions, my only one from the young lions.

١٨ 18 أَحْمَدُكَ فِي ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ ٱلْكَثِيرَةِ. فِي شَعْبٍ عَظِيمٍ أُسَبِّحُكَ.

I will give thee thanks in the great congregation; I will praise thee among much people.

١٩ 19 لَا يَشْمَتْ بِي ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ أَعْدَائِي بَاطِلًا، وَلَا يَتَغَامَزْ بِٱلْعَيْنِ ٱلَّذِينَ يُبْغِضُونَنِي بِلَا سَبَبٍ.

Let not them that are wrongfully mine enemies rejoice over me; let them not wink with the eye that hate me without cause.

٢٠ 20 لِأَنَّهُمْ لَا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِٱلسَّلَامِ، وَعَلَى ٱلْهَادِئِينَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ بِكَلَامِ مَكْرٍ.

For they speak not peace; and they devise deceitful words against the quiet in the land.

٢١ 21 فَغَرُوا عَلَيَّ أَفْوَاهَهُمْ. قَالُوا: «هَهْ! هَهْ!قَدْ رَأَتْ أَعْيُنُنَا».

And they opened their mouth wide against me; they said, Aha! aha! our eye hath seen [it].

٢٢ 22 قَدْ رَأَيْتَ يَارَبُّ، لَا تَسْكُتْ. يَا سَيِّدُ، لَا تَبْتَعِدْ عَنِّي.

Thou hast seen [it], Jehovah: keep not silence; O Lord, be not far from me.

٢٣ 23 ٱسْتَيْقِظْ وَٱنْتَبِهْ إِلَى حُكْمِي، يَا إِلَهِي وَسَيِّدِي إِلَى دَعْوَايَ.

Stir up thyself, and awake for my right, for my cause, my God and Lord!

٢٤ 24 ٱقْضِ لِي حَسَبَ عَدْلِكَ يَارَبُّ إِلَهِي، فَلَا يَشْمَتُوا بِي.

Judge me, Jehovah my God, according to thy righteousness, and let them not rejoice over me.

٢٥ 25 لَا يَقُولُوا فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ: «هَهْ! شَهْوَتُنَا». لَا يَقُولُوا: «قَدِ ٱبْتَلَعْنَاهُ!».

Let them not say in their heart, Aha! so would we have it. Let them not say, We have swallowed him up.

٢٦ 26 لِيَخْزَ وَلْيَخْجَلْ مَعًا ٱلْفَرِحُونَ بِمُصِيبَتِي. لِيَلْبِسِ ٱلْخِزْيَ وَٱلْخَجَلَ ٱلْمُتَعَظِّمُونَ عَلَيَّ.

Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at mine adversity; let them be clothed with shame and dishonour that magnify themselves against me.

٢٧ 27 لِيَهْتِفْ وَيَفْرَحِ ٱلْمُبْتَغُونَ حَقِّي، وَلْيَقُولُوا دَائِمًا: «لِيَتَعَظَّمِ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْمَسْرُورُ بِسَلَامَةِ عَبْدِهِ».

Let them exult and rejoice that delight in my righteousness; and let them say continually, Jehovah be magnified, who delighteth in the prosperity of his servant.

٢٨ 28 وَلِسَانِي يَلْهَجُ بِعَدْلِكَ. ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ بِحَمْدِكَ.

And my tongue shall talk of thy righteousness, [and] of thy praise, all the day.
