< اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 73 >
مَزْمُورٌ. لِآسَافَ إِنَّمَا صَالِحٌ ٱللهُ لِإِسْرَائِيلَ، لِأَنْقِيَاءِ ٱلْقَلْبِ. | ١ 1 |
A Psalm of Asaph. Truly God is good to Israel, to such as are of a pure heart.
أَمَّا أَنَا فَكَادَتْ تَزِلُّ قَدَمَايَ. لَوْلَا قَلِيلٌ لَزَلِقَتْ خَطَوَاتِي. | ٢ 2 |
But as for me, my feet were almost gone, my steps had well nigh slipped;
لِأَنِّي غِرْتُ مِنَ ٱلْمُتَكَبِّرِينَ، إِذْ رَأَيْتُ سَلَامَةَ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ. | ٣ 3 |
For I was envious at the arrogant, seeing the prosperity of the wicked.
لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَتْ فِي مَوْتِهِمْ شَدَائِدُ، وَجِسْمُهُمْ سَمِينٌ. | ٤ 4 |
For they have no pangs in their death, and their body is well nourished;
لَيْسُوا فِي تَعَبِ ٱلنَّاسِ، وَمَعَ ٱلْبَشَرِ لَا يُصَابُونَ. | ٥ 5 |
They have not the hardships of mankind, neither are they plagued like [other] men:
لِذَلِكَ تَقَلَّدُوا ٱلْكِبْرِيَاءَ. لَبِسُوا كَثَوْبٍ ظُلْمَهُمْ. | ٦ 6 |
Therefore pride encompasseth them as a neck-chain, violence covereth them [as] a garment;
جَحَظَتْ عُيُونُهُمْ مِنَ ٱلشَّحْمِ. جَاوَزُوا تَصَوُّرَاتِ ٱلْقَلْبِ. | ٧ 7 |
Their eyes stand out from fatness, they exceed the imaginations of their heart:
يَسْتَهْزِئُونَ وَيَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِٱلشَّرِّ ظُلْمًا. مِنَ ٱلْعَلَاءِ يَتَكَلَّمُونَ. | ٨ 8 |
They mock and speak wickedly of oppression, they speak loftily:
جَعَلُوا أَفْوَاهَهُمْ فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ، وَأَلْسِنَتُهُمْ تَتَمَشَّى فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ٩ 9 |
They set their mouth in the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth.
لِذَلِكَ يَرْجِعُ شَعْبُهُ إِلَى هُنَا، وَكَمِيَاهٍ مُرْوِيَةٍ يُمْتَصُّونَ مِنْهُمْ. | ١٠ 10 |
Therefore his people turn hither, and waters in fulness are wrung out to them.
وَقَالُوا: «كَيْفَ يَعْلَمُ ٱللهُ؟ وَهَلْ عِنْدَ ٱلْعَلِيِّ مَعْرِفَةٌ؟». | ١١ 11 |
And they say, How can God know, and is there knowledge in the Most High?
هُوَذَا هَؤُلَاءِ هُمُ ٱلْأَشْرَارُ، وَمُسْتَرِيحِينَ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ يُكْثِرُونَ ثَرْوَةً. | ١٢ 12 |
Behold, these are the wicked, and they prosper in the world: they heap up riches.
حَقًّا قَدْ زَكَّيْتُ قَلْبِي بَاطِلًا وَغَسَلْتُ بِٱلنَّقَاوَةِ يَدَيَّ. | ١٣ 13 |
Truly have I purified my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency:
وَكُنْتُ مُصَابًا ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ، وَتَأَدَّبْتُ كُلَّ صَبَاحٍ. | ١٤ 14 |
For all the day have I been plagued, and chastened every morning.
لَوْ قُلْتُ أُحَدِّثُ هَكَذَا، لَغَدَرْتُ بِجِيلِ بَنِيكَ. | ١٥ 15 |
If I said, I will speak thus, behold, I should be faithless to the generation of thy children.
فَلَمَّا قَصَدْتُ مَعْرِفَةَ هَذَا، إِذَا هُوَ تَعَبٌ فِي عَيْنَيَّ. | ١٦ 16 |
When I thought to be able to know this, it was a grievous task in mine eyes;
حَتَّى دَخَلْتُ مَقَادِسَ ٱللهِ، وَٱنْتَبَهْتُ إِلَى آخِرَتِهِمْ. | ١٧ 17 |
Until I went into the sanctuaries of God; [then] understood I their end.
حَقًّا فِي مَزَالِقَ جَعَلْتَهُمْ. أَسْقَطْتَهُمْ إِلَى ٱلْبَوَارِ. | ١٨ 18 |
Truly thou settest them in slippery places, thou castest them down in ruins.
كَيْفَ صَارُوا لِلْخَرَابِ بَغْتَةً! ٱضْمَحَلُّوا، فَنُوا مِنَ ٱلدَّوَاهِي. | ١٩ 19 |
How are they suddenly made desolate! they pass away, consumed with terrors.
كَحُلْمٍ عِنْدَ ٱلتَّيَقُّظِ يَارَبُّ، عِنْدَ ٱلتَّيَقُّظِ تَحْتَقِرُ خَيَالَهُمْ. | ٢٠ 20 |
As a dream, when one awaketh, wilt thou, Lord, on arising despise their image.
لِأَنَّهُ تَمَرْمَرَ قَلْبِي، وَٱنْتَخَسْتُ فِي كُلْيَتَيَّ. | ٢١ 21 |
When my heart was in a ferment, and I was pricked in my reins,
وَأَنَا بَلِيدٌ وَلَا أَعْرِفُ. صِرْتُ كَبَهِيمٍ عِنْدَكَ. | ٢٢ 22 |
Then I was brutish and knew nothing; I was [as] a beast with thee.
وَلَكِنِّي دَائِمًا مَعَكَ. أَمْسَكْتَ بِيَدِي ٱلْيُمْنَى. | ٢٣ 23 |
Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden my right hand;
بِرَأْيِكَ تَهْدِينِي، وَبَعْدُ إِلَى مَجْدٍ تَأْخُذُنِي. | ٢٤ 24 |
Thou wilt guide me by thy counsel, and after the glory, thou wilt receive me.
مَنْ لِي فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ؟ وَمَعَكَ لَا أُرِيدُ شَيْئًا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ٢٥ 25 |
Whom have I in the heavens? and there is none upon earth I desire beside thee.
قَدْ فَنِيَ لَحْمِي وَقَلْبِي. صَخْرَةُ قَلْبِي وَنَصِيبِي ٱللهُ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ. | ٢٦ 26 |
My flesh and my heart faileth: God is the rock of my heart and my portion for ever.
لِأَنَّهُ هُوَذَا ٱلْبُعَدَاءُ عَنْكَ يَبِيدُونَ. تُهْلِكُ كُلَّ مَنْ يَزْنِي عَنْكَ. | ٢٧ 27 |
For behold, they that are far from thee shall perish; thou destroyest every one that goeth a whoring from thee.
أَمَّا أَنَا فَٱلِٱقْتِرَابُ إِلَى ٱللهِ حَسَنٌ لِي. جَعَلْتُ بِٱلسَّيِّدِ ٱلرَّبِّ مَلْجَإِي، لِأُخْبِرَ بِكُلِّ صَنَائِعِكَ. | ٢٨ 28 |
But as for me, it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord Jehovah, that I may declare all thy works.
