< اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 74 >

قَصِيدَةٌ لِآسَافَ لِمَاذَا رَفَضْتَنَا يَا ٱللهُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ؟ لِمَاذَا يُدَخِّنُ غَضَبُكَ عَلَى غَنَمِ مَرْعَاكَ؟ ١ 1
[A contemplation by Asaph.] God, why have you rejected us forever? Why does your anger smolder against the sheep of your pasture?
ٱذْكُرْ جَمَاعَتَكَ ٱلَّتِي ٱقْتَنَيْتَهَا مُنْذُ ٱلْقِدَمِ، وَفَدَيْتَهَا سِبْطَ مِيرَاثِكَ، جَبَلَ صِهْيَوْنَ هَذَا ٱلَّذِي سَكَنْتَ فِيهِ. ٢ 2
Remember your congregation, which you purchased of old, which you have redeemed to be the tribe of your inheritance; Mount Zion, in which you have lived.
ٱرْفَعْ خَطَوَاتِكَ إِلَى ٱلْخِرَبِ ٱلْأَبَدِيَّةِ. ٱلْكُلَّ قَدْ حَطَّمَ ٱلْعَدُوُّ فِي ٱلْمَقْدِسِ. ٣ 3
Lift up your feet to the perpetual ruins, all the evil that the enemy has done in the sanctuary.
قَدْ زَمْجَرَ مُقَاوِمُوكَ فِي وَسَطِ مَعْهَدِكَ، جَعَلُوا آيَاتِهِمْ آيَاتٍ. ٤ 4
Your adversaries have roared in the midst of your assembly. They have set up their standards as signs.
يَبَانُ كَأَنَّهُ رَافِعُ فُؤُوسٍ عَلَى ٱلْأَشْجَارِ ٱلْمُشْتَبِكَةِ. ٥ 5
They behaved like men wielding axes, cutting through a thicket of trees.
وَٱلْآنَ مَنْقُوشَاتِهِ مَعًا بِٱلْفُؤُوسِ وَٱلْمَعَاوِلِ يَكْسِرُونَ. ٦ 6
Now they break all its carved work down with hatchet and hammers.
أَطْلَقُوا ٱلنَّارَ فِي مَقْدِسِكَ. دنَّسُوا لِلْأَرْضِ مَسْكَنَ ٱسْمِكَ. ٧ 7
They have burned your sanctuary to the ground. They have profaned the dwelling place of your Name.
قَالُوا فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ: «لِنُفْنِينَّهُمْ مَعًا!». أَحْرَقُوا كُلَّ مَعَاهِدِ ٱللهِ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. ٨ 8
They said in their heart, "We will crush them completely." They have burned up all the places in the land where God was worshiped.
آيَاتِنَا لَا نَرَى. لَا نَبِيَّ بَعْدُ، وَلَا بَيْنَنَا مَنْ يَعْرِفُ حَتَّى مَتَى. ٩ 9
We see no miraculous signs. There is no longer any prophet, neither is there among us anyone who knows how long.
حَتَّى مَتَى يَا ٱللهُ يُعَيِّرُ ٱلْمُقَاوِمُ؟ وَيُهِينُ ٱلْعَدُوُّ ٱسْمَكَ إِلَى ٱلْغَايَةِ؟ ١٠ 10
How long, God, shall the enemy mock? Shall the enemy blaspheme your name forever?
لِمَاذَا تَرُدُّ يَدَكَ وَيَمِينَكَ؟ أَخْرِجْهَا مِنْ وَسَطِ حِضْنِكَ. أَفْنِ. ١١ 11
Why do you draw back your hand, even your right hand? Take it out of your pocket and consume them.
وَٱللهُ مَلِكِي مُنْذُ ٱلْقِدَمِ، فَاعِلُ ٱلْخَلَاصِ فِي وَسَطِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. ١٢ 12
Yet God is my King from long ago, working salvation in the midst of the earth.
أَنْتَ شَقَقْتَ ٱلْبَحْرَ بِقُوَّتِكَ. كَسَرْتَ رُؤُوسَ ٱلتَّنَانِينِ عَلَى ٱلْمِيَاهِ. ١٣ 13
You divided the sea by your strength. You broke the heads of the sea monsters in the waters.
أَنْتَ رَضَضْتَ رُؤُوسَ لِوِيَاثَانَ. جَعَلْتَهُ طَعَامًا لِلشَّعْبِ، لِأَهْلِ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ. ١٤ 14
You broke the heads of Leviathan in pieces. You gave him as food to people and desert creatures.
أَنْتَ فَجَّرْتَ عَيْنًا وَسَيْلًا. أَنْتَ يَبَّسْتَ أَنْهَارًا دَائِمَةَ ٱلْجَرَيَانِ. ١٥ 15
You opened up spring and stream. You dried up mighty rivers.
لَكَ ٱلنَّهَارُ، وَلَكَ أَيْضًا ٱللَّيْلُ. أَنْتَ هَيَّأْتَ ٱلنُّورَ وَٱلشَّمْسَ. ١٦ 16
The day is yours, the night is also yours. You have prepared the light and the sun.
أَنْتَ نَصَبْتَ كُلَّ تُخُومِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. ٱلصَّيْفَ وَٱلشِّتَاءَ أَنْتَ خَلَقْتَهُمَا. ١٧ 17
You have set all the boundaries of the earth. You have made summer and winter.
اُذْكُرْ هَذَا: أَنَّ ٱلْعَدُوَّ قَدْ عَيَّرَ ٱلرَّبَّ، وَشَعْبًا جَاهِلًا قَدْ أَهَانَ ٱسْمَكَ. ١٨ 18
Remember this, that the enemy has mocked you, YHWH. Foolish people have blasphemed your name.
لَا تُسَلِّمْ لِلْوَحْشِ نَفْسَ يَمَامَتِكَ. قَطِيعَ بَائِسِيكَ لَا تَنْسَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. ١٩ 19
Do not deliver the soul of your dove to wild beasts. Do not forget the life of your poor forever.
ٱنْظُرْ إِلَى ٱلْعَهْدِ، لِأَنَّ مُظْلِمَاتِ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱمْتَلَأَتْ مِنْ مَسَاكِنِ ٱلظُّلْمِ. ٢٠ 20
Honor your covenant, for haunts of violence fill the dark places of the earth.
لَا يَرْجِعَنَّ ٱلْمُنْسَحِقُ خَازِيًا. ٱلْفَقِيرُ وَٱلْبَائِسُ لِيُسَبِّحَا ٱسْمَكَ. ٢١ 21
Do not let the oppressed return ashamed. Let the poor and needy praise your name.
قُمْ يَا ٱللهُ. أَقِمْ دَعْوَاكَ. ٱذْكُرْ تَعْيِيرَ ٱلْجَاهِلِ إِيَّاكَ ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ. ٢٢ 22
Arise, God. Plead your own cause. Remember how the foolish man mocks you all day.
لَا تَنْسَ صَوْتَ أَضْدَادِكَ، ضَجِيجَ مُقَاوِمِيكَ ٱلصَّاعِدَ دَائِمًا. ٢٣ 23
Do not forget the voice of your adversaries. The tumult of those who rise up against you ascends continually.
