< اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 69 >

لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ. عَلَى «ٱلسُّوْسَنِّ». لِدَاوُدَ خَلِّصْنِي يَا ٱللهُ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْمِيَاهَ قَدْ دَخَلَتْ إِلَى نَفْسِي. ١ 1
For the leader. On shoshannim. Of David. Save me, O God; for the waters are threatening my life.
غَرِقْتُ فِي حَمْأَةٍ عَمِيقَةٍ، وَلَيْسَ مَقَرٌّ. دَخَلْتُ إِلَى أَعْمَاقِ ٱلْمِيَاهِ، وَٱلسَّيْلُ غَمَرَنِي. ٢ 2
I am sunk in depths of mire, where ground there is none. I am come into deep deep waters, the flood overwhelms me.
تَعِبْتُ مِنْ صُرَاخِي. يَبِسَ حَلْقِي. كَلَّتْ عَيْنَايَ مِنِ ٱنْتِظَارِ إِلَهِي. ٣ 3
I am weary of crying, my throat is parched, my eyes are wasted with waiting for God.
أَكْثَرُ مِنْ شَعْرِ رَأْسِي ٱلَّذِينَ يُبْغِضُونَنِي بِلَا سَبَبٍ. ٱعْتَزَّ مُسْتَهْلِكِيَّ أَعْدَائِي ظُلْمًا. حِينَئِذٍ رَدَدْتُ ٱلَّذِي لَمْ أَخْطَفْهُ. ٤ 4
More than the hairs of my head are those who wantonly hate me. More than my bones in number are those who are falsely my foes. That which I never robbed, how am I then to restore?
يَا ٱللهُ أَنْتَ عَرَفْتَ حَمَاقَتِي، وَذُنُوبِي عَنْكَ لَمْ تَخْفَ. ٥ 5
O God, you know my folly, my guilt is not hidden from you.
لَا يَخْزَ بِي مُنْتَظِرُوكَ يَا سَيِّدُ رَبَّ ٱلْجُنُودِ. لَا يَخْجَلْ بِي مُلْتَمِسُوكَ يَا إِلَهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. ٦ 6
Through me let not any be shamed, who wait for you, Lord God of hosts. Through me let not those be confounded who seek you, O God of Israel.
لِأَنِّي مِنْ أَجْلِكَ ٱحْتَمَلْتُ ٱلْعَارَ. غَطَّى ٱلْخَجَلُ وَجْهِي. ٧ 7
It’s in your cause that I have borne taunts, and my face has been covered with shame;
صِرْتُ أَجْنَبِيًّا عِنْدَ إِخْوَتِي، وَغَرِيبًا عِنْدَ بَنِي أُمِّي. ٨ 8
I became to my kindred a foreigner, to my mother’s sons a stranger.
لِأَنَّ غَيْرَةَ بَيْتِكَ أَكَلَتْنِي، وَتَعْيِيرَاتِ مُعَيِّرِيكَ وَقَعَتْ عَلَيَّ. ٩ 9
It was zeal for your house that consumed me, and the insults they hurled at you fell upon me.
وَأَبْكَيْتُ بِصَوْمٍ نَفْسِي، فَصَارَ ذَلِكَ عَارًا عَلَيَّ. ١٠ 10
When I chastened myself with fasting, they took occasion to taunt me.
جَعَلْتُ لِبَاسِي مِسْحًا، وَصِرْتُ لَهُمْ مَثَلًا. ١١ 11
When I put on a garment of sackcloth, they made me the theme of a taunt-song.
يَتَكَلَّمُ فِيَّ ٱلْجَالِسُونَ فِي ٱلْبَابِ، وَأَغَانِيُّ شَرَّابِي ٱلْمُسْكِرِ. ١٢ 12
Those who sit in the gate make sport of me in the music of drunken songs.
أَمَّا أَنَا فَلَكَ صَلَاتِي يَارَبُّ فِي وَقْتِ رِضًى. يَا ٱللهُ، بِكَثْرَةِ رَحْمَتِكَ ٱسْتَجِبْ لِي، بِحَقِّ خَلَاصِكَ. ١٣ 13
But I pray to you, Lord, for a time of favour. In your great love answer me; with your loyal help, save me
نَجِّنِي مِنَ ٱلطِّينِ فَلَا أَغْرَقَ. نَجِّنِي مِنْ مُبْغِضِيَّ وَمِنْ أَعْمَاقِ ٱلْمِيَاهِ. ١٤ 14
from sinking down in the mire. Lift me out of the deep deep waters,
لَا يَغْمُرَنِّي سَيْلُ ٱلْمِيَاهِ، وَلَا يَبْتَلِعَنِّي ٱلْعُمْقُ، وَلَا تُطْبِقِ ٱلْهَاوِيَةُ عَلَيَّ فَاهَا. ١٥ 15
that the rushing flood may not drown me, that the deep may not swallow me up, nor the pit close her mouth upon me.
ٱسْتَجِبْ لِي يَارَبُّ لِأَنَّ رَحْمَتَكَ صَالِحَةٌ. كَكَثْرَةِ مَرَاحِمِكَ ٱلْتَفِتْ إِلَيَّ. ١٦ 16
Answer me, Lord, in your gracious kindness, turn to me in your great compassion.
وَلَا تَحْجُبْ وَجْهَكَ عَنْ عَبْدِكَ، لِأَنَّ لِي ضِيْقًا. ٱسْتَجِبْ لِي سَرِيعًا. ١٧ 17
Hide not your face from your servant, for I am in trouble; O answer me speedily.
ٱقْتَرِبْ إِلَى نَفْسِي. فُكَّهَا. بِسَبَبِ أَعْدَائِي ٱفْدِنِي. ١٨ 18
Draw near to me, redeem me; because of my enemies, ransom me.
أَنْتَ عَرَفْتَ عَارِي وَخِزْيِي وَخَجَلِي. قُدَّامَكَ جَمِيعُ مُضَايِقِيَّ. ١٩ 19
You know how I am insulted; in your sight are all my foes.
ٱلْعَارُ قَدْ كَسَرَ قَلْبِي فَمَرِضْتُ. ٱنْتَظَرْتُ رِقَّةً فَلَمْ تَكُنْ، وَمُعَزِّينَ فَلَمْ أَجِدْ. ٢٠ 20
Insult has broken my heart, past cure are my shame and confusion. For pity I looked – there was none! And for comforters, but I found none.
وَيَجْعَلُونَ فِي طَعَامِي عَلْقَمًا، وَفِي عَطَشِي يَسْقُونَنِي خَلًّا. ٢١ 21
Poison they gave me for food, and to slake my thirst they gave vinegar.
لِتَصِرْ مَائِدَتُهُمْ قُدَّامَهُمْ فَخًّا، وَلِلْآمِنِينَ شَرَكًا. ٢٢ 22
May their table, outspread, be a trap to them, and their peace-offerings be a snare.
لِتُظْلِمْ عُيُونُهُمْ عَنِ ٱلْبَصَرِ، وَقَلْقِلْ مُتُونَهُمْ دَائِمًا. ٢٣ 23
May their eyes be darkened and blind, make them shake without ceasing.
صُبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ سَخَطَكَ، وَلْيُدْرِكْهُمْ حُمُوُّ غَضَبِكَ. ٢٤ 24
Pour your indignation upon them, let your burning wrath overtake them.
لِتَصِرْ دَارُهُمْ خَرَابًا، وَفِي خِيَامِهِمْ لَا يَكُنْ سَاكِنٌ. ٢٥ 25
May their camp be a desolation, in their tents be there none to live.
لِأَنَّ ٱلَّذِي ضَرَبْتَهُ أَنْتَ هُمْ طَرَدُوهُ، وَبِوَجَعِ ٱلَّذِينَ جَرَحْتَهُمْ يَتَحَدَّثُونَ. ٢٦ 26
For those whom you struck, they persecute, and those whom you wounded, they pain yet more.
اِجْعَلْ إِثْمًا عَلَى إِثْمِهِمْ، وَلَا يَدْخُلُوا فِي بِرِّكَ. ٢٧ 27
Charge them with sin upon sin, may they not be acquitted by you.
لِيُمْحَوْا مِنْ سِفْرِ ٱلْأَحْيَاءِ، وَمَعَ ٱلصِّدِّيقِينَ لَا يُكْتَبُوا. ٢٨ 28
From the book of life be they blotted, may their names not be written with the righteous.
أَمَّا أَنَا فَمِسْكِينٌ وَكَئِيبٌ. خَلَاصُكَ يَا ٱللهُ فَلْيُرَفِّعْنِي. ٢٩ 29
Lift me, O God, by your help above my pain and misery.
أُسَبِّحُ ٱسْمَ ٱللهِ بِتَسْبِيحٍ، وَأُعَظِّمُهُ بِحَمْدٍ. ٣٠ 30
Then will I praise God in song and magnify him with thanksgiving,
فَيُسْتَطَابُ عِنْدَ ٱلرَّبِّ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ثَوْرِ بَقَرٍ ذِي قُرُونٍ وَأَظْلَافٍ. ٣١ 31
which shall please the Lord better than ox, or than bullock with horns and hoofs.
يَرَى ذَلِكَ ٱلْوُدَعَاءُ فَيَفْرَحُونَ، وَتَحْيَا قُلُوبُكُمْ يَا طَالِبِي ٱللهِ. ٣٢ 32
The oppressed shall rejoice at the sight. You who seek after God, let your heart revive.
لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ سَامِعٌ لِلْمَسَاكِينِ وَلَا يَحْتَقِرُ أَسْرَاهُ. ٣٣ 33
For the Lord listens to the poor, he does not despise his prisoners.
تُسَبِّحُهُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ، ٱلْبِحَارُ وَكُلُّ مَا يَدِبُّ فِيهَا. ٣٤ 34
Let the heavens and the earth sing his praises, the seas, and all creatures that move in them.
لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ يُخَلِّصُ صِهْيَوْنَ وَيَبْنِي مُدُنَ يَهُوذَا، فَيَسْكُنُونَ هُنَاكَ وَيَرِثُونَهَا. ٣٥ 35
For God will bring help to Zion, and build up the cities of Judah, his people shall live there in possession.
وَنَسْلُ عَبِيدِهِ يَمْلِكُونَهَا، وَمُحِبُّو ٱسْمِهِ يَسْكُنُونَ فِيهَا. ٣٦ 36
His servants’ children shall have it for heritage, and those who love him shall live therein.
