< اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 44 >
لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ. لِبَنِي قُورَحَ. قَصِيدَةٌ اَللَّهُمَّ، بِآذَانِنَا قَدْ سَمِعْنَا. آبَاؤُنَا أَخْبَرُونَا بِعَمَلٍ عَمِلْتَهُ فِي أَيَّامِهِمْ، فِي أَيَّامِ ٱلْقِدَمِ. | ١ 1 |
We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work thou did in their days, in the days of old.
أَنْتَ بِيَدِكَ ٱسْتَأْصَلْتَ ٱلْأُمَمَ وَغَرَسْتَهُمْ. حَطَّمْتَ شُعُوبًا وَمَدَدْتَهُمْ. | ٢ 2 |
Thou drove out the nations with thy hand, but thou planted them. Thou afflicted the peoples, but thou spread them abroad.
لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ بِسَيْفِهِمْ ٱمْتَلَكُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ، وَلَا ذِرَاعُهُمْ خَلَّصَتْهُمْ، لَكِنْ يَمِينُكَ وَذِرَاعُكَ وَنُورُ وَجْهِكَ، لِأَنَّكَ رَضِيتَ عَنْهُمْ. | ٣ 3 |
For they did not get the land in possession by their own sword, nor did their own arm save them, but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou were favorable to them.
أَنْتَ هُوَ مَلِكِي يَا ٱللهُ، فَأْمُرْ بِخَلَاصِ يَعْقُوبَ. | ٤ 4 |
Thou are my King, O God. Command deliverance for Jacob.
بِكَ نَنْطَحُ مُضَايِقِينَا. بِٱسْمِكَ نَدُوسُ ٱلْقَائِمِينَ عَلَيْنَا. | ٥ 5 |
Through thee we will push down our adversaries. Through thy name we will tread them under who rise up against us.
لِأَنِّي عَلَى قَوْسِي لَا أَتَّكِلُ، وَسَيْفِي لَا يُخَلِّصُنِي. | ٦ 6 |
For I will not trust in my bow, nor shall my sword save me.
لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ خَلَّصْتَنَا مِنْ مُضَايِقِينَا، وَأَخْزَيْتَ مُبْغِضِينَا. | ٧ 7 |
But thou have saved us from our adversaries, and have put them to shame who hate us.
بِٱللهِ نَفْتَخِرُ ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ، وَٱسْمَكَ نَحْمَدُ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ. سِلَاهْ. | ٨ 8 |
In God we have made our boast all the day long, and we will give thanks to thy name forever. (Selah)
لَكِنَّكَ قَدْ رَفَضْتَنَا وَأَخْجَلْتَنَا، وَلَا تَخْرُجُ مَعَ جُنُودِنَا. | ٩ 9 |
But now thou have cast off, and brought us to dishonor, and go not forth with our armies.
تُرْجِعُنَا إِلَى ٱلْوَرَاءِ عَنِ ٱلْعَدُوِّ، وَمُبْغِضُونَا نَهَبُوا لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ. | ١٠ 10 |
Thou make us to turn back from the adversary. And those who hate us take spoil for themselves.
جَعَلْتَنَا كَٱلضَّأْنِ أُكْلًا. ذَرَّيْتَنَا بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ. | ١١ 11 |
Thou have made us like sheep for food, and have scattered us among the nations.
بِعْتَ شَعْبَكَ بِغَيْرِ مَالٍ، وَمَا رَبِحْتَ بِثَمَنِهِمْ. | ١٢ 12 |
Thou sell thy people for nothing, and have not increased by their price.
تَجْعَلُنَا عَارًا عِنْدَ جِيرَانِنَا، هُزْأَةً وَسُخْرَةً لِلَّذِينَ حَوْلَنَا. | ١٣ 13 |
Thou make us a reproach to our neighbors, a scoffing and a derision to those who are round about us.
تَجْعَلُنَا مَثَلًا بَيْنَ ٱلشُّعُوبِ. لِإِنْغَاضِ ٱلرَّأْسِ بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ. | ١٤ 14 |
Thou make us a byword among the nations, a shaking of the head among the peoples.
ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ خَجَلِي أَمَامِي، وَخِزْيُ وَجْهِي قَدْ غَطَّانِي. | ١٥ 15 |
All the day long my dishonor is before me, and the shame of my face has covered me,
مِنْ صَوْتِ ٱلْمُعَيِّرِ وَٱلشَّاتِمِ. مِنْ وَجْهِ عَدُوٍّ وَمُنْتَقِمٍ. | ١٦ 16 |
for the voice of him who reproaches and blasphemes, because of the enemy and the avenger.
هَذَا كُلُّهُ جَاءَ عَلَيْنَا، وَمَا نَسِينَاكَ وَلَا خُنَّا فِي عَهْدِكَ. | ١٧ 17 |
All this has come upon us, yet we have not forgotten thee, nor have we dealt falsely in thy covenant.
لَمْ يَرْتَدَّ قَلْبُنَا إِلَى وَرَاءٍ، وَلَا مَالَتْ خَطْوَتُنَا عَنْ طَرِيقِكَ، | ١٨ 18 |
Our heart is not turned back, nor have our steps declined from thy way,
حَتَّى سَحَقْتَنَا فِي مَكَانِ ٱلتَّنَانِينِ، وَغَطَّيْتَنَا بِظِلِّ ٱلْمَوْتِ. | ١٩ 19 |
that thou have greatly broken us in the place of jackals, and covered us with the shadow of death.
إِنْ نَسِينَا ٱسْمَ إِلَهِنَا أَوْ بَسَطْنَا أَيْدِيَنَا إِلَى إِلَهٍ غَرِيبٍ، | ٢٠ 20 |
If we have forgotten the name of our God, or spread forth our hands to a strange god,
أَفَلَا يَفْحَصُ ٱللهُ عَنْ هَذَا؟ لِأَنَّهُ هُوَ يَعْرِفُ خَفِيَّاتِ ٱلْقَلْبِ. | ٢١ 21 |
will not God search this out? For he knows the secrets of the heart.
لِأَنَّنَا مِنْ أَجْلِكَ نُمَاتُ ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ. قَدْ حُسِبْنَا مِثْلَ غَنَمٍ لِلذَّبْحِ. | ٢٢ 22 |
Yea, for thy sake we are killed all the day long. We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
اِسْتَيْقِظْ! لِمَاذَا تَتَغَافَى يَارَبُّ؟ ٱنْتَبِهْ! لَا تَرْفُضْ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. | ٢٣ 23 |
Awake, why do thou sleep, O Lord? Arise, cast not off forever.
لِمَاذَا تَحْجُبُ وَجْهَكَ وَتَنْسَى مَذَلَّتَنَا وَضِيقَنَا؟ | ٢٤ 24 |
Why do thou hide thy face, and forget our affliction and our oppression?
لِأَنَّ أَنْفُسَنَا مُنْحَنِيَةٌ إِلَى ٱلتُّرَابِ. لَصِقَتْ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ بُطُونُنَا. | ٢٥ 25 |
For our soul is bowed down to the dust; our body clings to the ground.
قُمْ عَوْنًا لَنَا وَٱفْدِنَا مِنْ أَجْلِ رَحْمَتِكَ. | ٢٦ 26 |
Rise up for our help, and redeem us for thy loving kindness' sake.
