< اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 58 >

لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ. عَلَى «لَا تُهْلِكْ». لِدَاوُدَ. مُذَهَّبَةٌ أَحَقًّا بِٱلْحَقِّ ٱلْأَخْرَسِ تَتَكَلَّمُونَ، بِٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَاتِ تَقْضُونَ يَا بَنِي آدَمَ؟ ١ 1
To the Chief Musician. "Do not Destroy." A precious Psalm, of David. Are ye, indeed, silent [when] righteousness, ye should speak? When, with equity, ye should judge, O ye sons of men?
بَلْ بِٱلْقَلْبِ تَعْمَلُونَ شُرُورًا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ ظُلْمَ أَيْدِيكُمْ تَزِنُونَ. ٢ 2
Aye! ye all do work, perversity, —Throughout the land, your hands, weigh out, violence!
زَاغَ ٱلْأَشْرَارُ مِنَ ٱلرَّحِمِ. ضَلُّوا مِنَ ٱلْبَطْنِ، مُتَكَلِّمِينَ كَذِبًا. ٣ 3
Lawless men have been estranged from birth, They have gone astray from their nativity, speaking falsehood;
لَهُمْ حُمَةٌ مِثْلُ حُمَةِ ٱلْحَيَّةِ. مِثْلُ ٱلصِّلِّ ٱلْأَصَمِّ يَسُدُّ أُذُنَهُ، ٤ 4
Their poison, is like unto the poison of a serpent, Like the deaf adder, that stoppeth his ear;
ٱلَّذِي لَا يَسْتَمِعُ إِلَى صَوْتِ ٱلْحُوَاةِ ٱلرَّاقِينَ رُقَى حَكِيمٍ. ٥ 5
That will not hearken to the voice of whisperers, Though the wise one try to bind him with spells.
اَللَّهُمَّ، كَسِّرْ أَسْنَانَهُمْ فِي أَفْوَاهِهِمِ. ٱهْشِمْ أَضْرَاسَ ٱلْأَشْبَالِ يَارَبُّ. ٦ 6
O God! break away their teeth in their mouth, The biters of the young lions, knock thou out, O Yahweh!
لِيَذُوبُوا كَٱلْمَاءِ، لِيَذْهَبُوا. إِذَا فَوَّقَ سِهَامَهُ فَلْتَنْبُ. ٧ 7
Let such men flow away like waters that disperse themselves: He prepareth his arrow, Like [grass] let them be cut down:
كَمَا يَذُوبُ ٱلْحَلَزُونُ مَاشِيًا. مِثْلَ سِقْطِ ٱلْمَرْأَةِ لَا يُعَايِنُوا ٱلشَّمْسَ. ٨ 8
Like a snail, which melteth away as it goeth, An untimely birth of a woman, which hath not seen the sun:
قَبْلَ أَنْ تَشْعُرَ قُدُورُكُمْ بِٱلشَّوْكِ، نِيئًا أَوْ مَحْرُوقًا، يَجْرُفُهُمْ. ٩ 9
Before your kettles can perceive the [kindled] bramble, Be he green or be he withered, he shall be swept away.
يَفْرَحُ ٱلصِّدِّيقُ إِذَا رَأَى ٱلنَّقْمَةَ. يَغْسِلُ خُطُواتِهِ بِدَمِ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ. ١٠ 10
The righteous man will rejoice when he hath seen an avenging, His feet, will he bathe in the blood of the lawless one: —
وَيَقُولُ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ: «إِنَّ لِلصِّدِّيقِ ثَمَرًا. إِنَّهُ يُوجَدُ إِلَهٌ قَاضٍ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ» ١١ 11
So that a son of earth may say—Surely there is fruit for the righteous man! Surely there are gods who judge in the earth!
