< اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 73 >
مَزْمُورٌ. لِآسَافَ إِنَّمَا صَالِحٌ ٱللهُ لِإِسْرَائِيلَ، لِأَنْقِيَاءِ ٱلْقَلْبِ. | ١ 1 |
Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean 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 foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَتْ فِي مَوْتِهِمْ شَدَائِدُ، وَجِسْمُهُمْ سَمِينٌ. | ٤ 4 |
For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm.
لَيْسُوا فِي تَعَبِ ٱلنَّاسِ، وَمَعَ ٱلْبَشَرِ لَا يُصَابُونَ. | ٥ 5 |
They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men.
لِذَلِكَ تَقَلَّدُوا ٱلْكِبْرِيَاءَ. لَبِسُوا كَثَوْبٍ ظُلْمَهُمْ. | ٦ 6 |
Therefore pride compasses them about as a chain; violence covers them as a garment.
جَحَظَتْ عُيُونُهُمْ مِنَ ٱلشَّحْمِ. جَاوَزُوا تَصَوُّرَاتِ ٱلْقَلْبِ. | ٧ 7 |
Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish.
يَسْتَهْزِئُونَ وَيَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِٱلشَّرِّ ظُلْمًا. مِنَ ٱلْعَلَاءِ يَتَكَلَّمُونَ. | ٨ 8 |
They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily.
جَعَلُوا أَفْوَاهَهُمْ فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ، وَأَلْسِنَتُهُمْ تَتَمَشَّى فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ٩ 9 |
They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walks through the earth.
لِذَلِكَ يَرْجِعُ شَعْبُهُ إِلَى هُنَا، وَكَمِيَاهٍ مُرْوِيَةٍ يُمْتَصُّونَ مِنْهُمْ. | ١٠ 10 |
Therefore his people return here: and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them.
وَقَالُوا: «كَيْفَ يَعْلَمُ ٱللهُ؟ وَهَلْ عِنْدَ ٱلْعَلِيِّ مَعْرِفَةٌ؟». | ١١ 11 |
And they say, How does 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 ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches.
حَقًّا قَدْ زَكَّيْتُ قَلْبِي بَاطِلًا وَغَسَلْتُ بِٱلنَّقَاوَةِ يَدَيَّ. | ١٣ 13 |
Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocence.
وَكُنْتُ مُصَابًا ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ، وَتَأَدَّبْتُ كُلَّ صَبَاحٍ. | ١٤ 14 |
For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning.
لَوْ قُلْتُ أُحَدِّثُ هَكَذَا، لَغَدَرْتُ بِجِيلِ بَنِيكَ. | ١٥ 15 |
If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend against the generation of your children.
فَلَمَّا قَصَدْتُ مَعْرِفَةَ هَذَا، إِذَا هُوَ تَعَبٌ فِي عَيْنَيَّ. | ١٦ 16 |
When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;
حَتَّى دَخَلْتُ مَقَادِسَ ٱللهِ، وَٱنْتَبَهْتُ إِلَى آخِرَتِهِمْ. | ١٧ 17 |
Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end.
حَقًّا فِي مَزَالِقَ جَعَلْتَهُمْ. أَسْقَطْتَهُمْ إِلَى ٱلْبَوَارِ. | ١٨ 18 |
Surely you did set them in slippery places: you casted them down into destruction.
كَيْفَ صَارُوا لِلْخَرَابِ بَغْتَةً! ٱضْمَحَلُّوا، فَنُوا مِنَ ٱلدَّوَاهِي. | ١٩ 19 |
How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors.
كَحُلْمٍ عِنْدَ ٱلتَّيَقُّظِ يَارَبُّ، عِنْدَ ٱلتَّيَقُّظِ تَحْتَقِرُ خَيَالَهُمْ. | ٢٠ 20 |
As a dream when one awakes; so, O Lord, when you awake, you shall despise their image.
لِأَنَّهُ تَمَرْمَرَ قَلْبِي، وَٱنْتَخَسْتُ فِي كُلْيَتَيَّ. | ٢١ 21 |
Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins.
وَأَنَا بَلِيدٌ وَلَا أَعْرِفُ. صِرْتُ كَبَهِيمٍ عِنْدَكَ. | ٢٢ 22 |
So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before you.
وَلَكِنِّي دَائِمًا مَعَكَ. أَمْسَكْتَ بِيَدِي ٱلْيُمْنَى. | ٢٣ 23 |
Nevertheless I am continually with you: you have held me by my right hand.
بِرَأْيِكَ تَهْدِينِي، وَبَعْدُ إِلَى مَجْدٍ تَأْخُذُنِي. | ٢٤ 24 |
You shall guide me with your counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.
مَنْ لِي فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ؟ وَمَعَكَ لَا أُرِيدُ شَيْئًا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ٢٥ 25 |
Whom have I in heaven but you? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside you.
قَدْ فَنِيَ لَحْمِي وَقَلْبِي. صَخْرَةُ قَلْبِي وَنَصِيبِي ٱللهُ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ. | ٢٦ 26 |
My flesh and my heart fails: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.
لِأَنَّهُ هُوَذَا ٱلْبُعَدَاءُ عَنْكَ يَبِيدُونَ. تُهْلِكُ كُلَّ مَنْ يَزْنِي عَنْكَ. | ٢٧ 27 |
For, lo, they that are far from you shall perish: you have destroyed all them that go a whoring from you.
أَمَّا أَنَا فَٱلِٱقْتِرَابُ إِلَى ٱللهِ حَسَنٌ لِي. جَعَلْتُ بِٱلسَّيِّدِ ٱلرَّبِّ مَلْجَإِي، لِأُخْبِرَ بِكُلِّ صَنَائِعِكَ. | ٢٨ 28 |
But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all your works.
