اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 50

١ 1 مَزْمُورٌ لِآسَافَ إِلَهُ ٱلْآلِهَةِ ٱلرَّبُّ تَكَلَّمَ، وَدَعَا ٱلْأَرْضَ مِنْ مَشْرِقِ ٱلشَّمْسِ إِلَى مَغْرِبِهَا.

God, the all-powerful one, speaks; he summons all people, from the east to the west.

٢ 2 مِنْ صِهْيَوْنَ، كَمَالِ ٱلْجَمَالِ، ٱللهُ أَشْرَقَ.

His glory shines from Zion [Hill in Jerusalem], an extremely beautiful city.

٣ 3 يَأْتِي إِلَهُنَا وَلَا يَصْمُتُ. نَارٌ قُدَّامَهُ تَأْكُلُ، وَحَوْلَهُ عَاصِفٌ جِدًّا.

Our God comes to us, and he is not silent. A great fire is in front of him, and a storm is around him.

٤ 4 يَدْعُو ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ مِنْ فَوْقُ، وَٱلْأَرْضَ إِلَى مُدَايَنَةِ شَعْبِهِ:

He comes to judge his people. He shouts to the [angels in] heaven and to [the people on] the earth.

٥ 5 «ٱجْمَعُوا إِلَيَّ أَتْقِيَائِي، ٱلْقَاطِعِينَ عَهْدِي عَلَى ذَبِيحَةٍ».

He says, “Summon those who faithfully [worship] me, those who made an agreement with me by offering sacrifices to me.”

٦ 6 وَتُخْبِرُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ بِعَدْلِهِ، لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ هُوَ ٱلدَّيَّانُ. سِلَاهْ.

The [angels in] heaven declare, “God is righteous, and he is the supreme judge.”

٧ 7 «اِسْمَعْ يَا شَعْبِي فَأَتَكَلَّمَ. يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ فَأَشْهَدَ عَلَيْكَ: ٱللهُ إِلَهُكَ أَنَا.

God says, “My people, listen! You Israeli people, listen, as I, your God, say what you have done that is wrong.

٨ 8 لَا عَلَى ذَبَائِحِكَ أُوَبِّخُكَ، فَإِنَّ مُحْرَقَاتِكَ هِيَ دَائِمًا قُدَّامِي.

I am not rebuking you for making sacrifices to me, for the offerings that you completely burn [on the altar].

٩ 9 لَا آخُذُ مِنْ بَيْتِكَ ثَوْرًا، وَلَا مِنْ حَظَائِرِكَ أَعْتِدَةً.

But I do not really need [you to sacrifice] the bulls from your barns and the goats from your pens,

١٠ 10 لِأَنَّ لِي حَيَوَانَ ٱلْوَعْرِ وَٱلْبَهَائِمَ عَلَى ٱلْجِبَالِ ٱلْأُلُوفِ.

because all the animals in the forest belong to me, [and all] the cattle on 1,000 hills also belong to me.

١١ 11 قَدْ عَلِمْتُ كُلَّ طُيُورِ ٱلْجِبَالِ، وَوُحُوشُ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ عِنْدِي.

I [own and] know all the birds and all [the creatures] that move around in the fields.

١٢ 12 إِنْ جُعْتُ فَلَا أَقُولُ لَكَ، لِأَنَّ لِي ٱلْمَسْكُونَةَ وَمِلْأَهَا.

[So], if I were hungry, I would not tell you [to bring me some food], because everything in the world belongs to me!

١٣ 13 هَلْ آكُلُ لَحْمَ ٱلثِّيرَانِ، أَوْ أَشْرَبُ دَمَ ٱلتُّيُوسِ؟

I do not eat the flesh of the bulls [that you sacrifice], and I do not drink the blood of the goats [that you offer to me].

١٤ 14 اِذْبَحْ لِلهِ حَمْدًا، وَأَوْفِ ٱلْعَلِيَّ نُذُورَكَ،

The sacrifice [that I really want is that] you thank me and do all that you have promised to do.

١٥ 15 وَٱدْعُنِي فِي يَوْمِ ٱلضِّيقِ أُنْقِذْكَ فَتُمَجِّدَنِي».

And pray to me when you have troubles. [If you do that], I will rescue you, and [then] you will praise me.

١٦ 16 وَلِلشِّرِّيرِ قَالَ ٱللهُ: «مَا لَكَ تُحَدِّثُ بِفَرَائِضِي وَتَحْمِلُ عَهْدِي عَلَى فَمِكَ؟

But I say this to the wicked people: (Why do you/It does not benefit you at all to) [RHQ] recite my commandments or talk about the agreement that I made with you,

١٧ 17 وَأَنْتَ قَدْ أَبْغَضْتَ ٱلتَّأْدِيبَ وَأَلْقَيْتَ كَلَامِي خَلْفَكَ.

because you have refused to allow me to discipline you, and you have rejected what I told you to do.

١٨ 18 إِذَا رَأَيْتَ سَارِقًا وَافَقْتَهُ، وَمَعَ ٱلزُّنَاةِ نَصِيبُكَ.

Every time that you see a thief, you become his friend, and you spend [much] time with those who commit adultery.

١٩ 19 أَطْلَقْتَ فَمَكَ بِٱلشَّرِّ، وَلِسَانُكَ يَخْتَرِعُ غِشًّا.

You are [always] talking [MTY] about doing wicked things, and you are [always] to deceive people.

٢٠ 20 تَجْلِسُ تَتَكَلَّمُ عَلَى أَخِيكَ. لِٱبْنِ أُمِّكَ تَضَعُ مَعْثَرَةً.

You are always accusing members of your own family [of doing wrong], and slandering them.

٢١ 21 هَذِهِ صَنَعْتَ وَسَكَتُّ. ظَنَنْتَ أَنِّي مِثْلُكَ. أُوَبِّخُكَ، وَأَصُفُّ خَطَايَاكَ أَمَامَ عَيْنَيْكَ.

You did [all] those things, and I did not say anything to you, [so] you thought that I was [a sinner] just like you. But now I rebuke you and accuse you, right in front of you.

٢٢ 22 ٱفْهَمُوا هَذَا يَا أَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُونَ ٱللهَ، لِئَلَّا أَفْتَرِسَكُمْ وَلَا مُنْقِذَ.

So, all you who have ignored me, pay attention to this, because if you do not, I will tear you to pieces, and there will be no one to rescue you.

٢٣ 23 ذَابِحُ ٱلْحَمْدِ يُمَجِّدُنِي، وَٱلْمُقَوِّمُ طَرِيقَهُ أُرِيهِ خَلَاصَ ٱللهِ».

The sacrifice that [truly] honors me is to thank me [for what I have done]; and I will save those who always do the things that I want them to.”
