< اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 74 >

قَصِيدَةٌ لِآسَافَ لِمَاذَا رَفَضْتَنَا يَا ٱللهُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ؟ لِمَاذَا يُدَخِّنُ غَضَبُكَ عَلَى غَنَمِ مَرْعَاكَ؟ ١ 1
An Instructive Psalm. Asaph’s. Wherefore, O God, hast thou cast off utterly? Shall thine anger smoke against the flock of thine own pasturing?
ٱذْكُرْ جَمَاعَتَكَ ٱلَّتِي ٱقْتَنَيْتَهَا مُنْذُ ٱلْقِدَمِ، وَفَدَيْتَهَا سِبْطَ مِيرَاثِكَ، جَبَلَ صِهْيَوْنَ هَذَا ٱلَّذِي سَكَنْتَ فِيهِ. ٢ 2
Remember thine own assembly thou didst acquire aforetime, Thou didst redeem the tribe of thine own inheritance, Mount Zion, wherein thou didst take up thy habitation.
ٱرْفَعْ خَطَوَاتِكَ إِلَى ٱلْخِرَبِ ٱلْأَبَدِيَّةِ. ٱلْكُلَّ قَدْ حَطَّمَ ٱلْعَدُوُّ فِي ٱلْمَقْدِسِ. ٣ 3
Lift up thy steps unto the places utterly unsafe, All the mischief!—the foe in the sanctuary!
قَدْ زَمْجَرَ مُقَاوِمُوكَ فِي وَسَطِ مَعْهَدِكَ، جَعَلُوا آيَاتِهِمْ آيَاتٍ. ٤ 4
Thine adversaries have roared in the midst of thine appointed meeting, They have set their ensigns as tokens!
يَبَانُ كَأَنَّهُ رَافِعُ فُؤُوسٍ عَلَى ٱلْأَشْجَارِ ٱلْمُشْتَبِكَةِ. ٥ 5
One used to be known according as he carried up high—into the thicket of trees—the axes;
وَٱلْآنَ مَنْقُوشَاتِهِ مَعًا بِٱلْفُؤُوسِ وَٱلْمَعَاوِلِ يَكْسِرُونَ. ٦ 6
But, now, the doors thereof all together, with axes and hammers, they batter down.
أَطْلَقُوا ٱلنَّارَ فِي مَقْدِسِكَ. دنَّسُوا لِلْأَرْضِ مَسْكَنَ ٱسْمِكَ. ٧ 7
They have cast, into the fire, thy sanctuary, To the ground, have they profaned the habitation of thy Name.
قَالُوا فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ: «لِنُفْنِينَّهُمْ مَعًا!». أَحْرَقُوا كُلَّ مَعَاهِدِ ٱللهِ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. ٨ 8
They have said in their heart, Let us suppress them altogether, They have burned up all the meeting-places of GOD in the land.
آيَاتِنَا لَا نَرَى. لَا نَبِيَّ بَعْدُ، وَلَا بَيْنَنَا مَنْ يَعْرِفُ حَتَّى مَتَى. ٩ 9
Our own signs, have we not seen, —There is no longer a prophet, —Neither is there with us, one who knoweth—How long!
حَتَّى مَتَى يَا ٱللهُ يُعَيِّرُ ٱلْمُقَاوِمُ؟ وَيُهِينُ ٱلْعَدُوُّ ٱسْمَكَ إِلَى ٱلْغَايَةِ؟ ١٠ 10
How long, O God, shall the adversary, reproach? Shall the enemy revile thy Name perpetually?
لِمَاذَا تَرُدُّ يَدَكَ وَيَمِينَكَ؟ أَخْرِجْهَا مِنْ وَسَطِ حِضْنِكَ. أَفْنِ. ١١ 11
Wherefore shouldst thou withdraw thy hand—thy right hand? [Bring it] out of the midst of thy bosom! (Selah)
وَٱللهُ مَلِكِي مُنْذُ ٱلْقِدَمِ، فَاعِلُ ٱلْخَلَاصِ فِي وَسَطِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. ١٢ 12
But, God, hath been my king from aforetime, Working Deliverances in the midst of the earth.
أَنْتَ شَقَقْتَ ٱلْبَحْرَ بِقُوَّتِكَ. كَسَرْتَ رُؤُوسَ ٱلتَّنَانِينِ عَلَى ٱلْمِيَاهِ. ١٣ 13
Thou, didst cleave asunder, in thy might, the sea, Thou didst break in pieces the heads of the Crocodiles, [till they floated] on the waters;
أَنْتَ رَضَضْتَ رُؤُوسَ لِوِيَاثَانَ. جَعَلْتَهُ طَعَامًا لِلشَّعْبِ، لِأَهْلِ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ. ١٤ 14
Thou, didst crush the heads of the Sea-Monster, Thou didst give him to be food, for the people of the deserts;
أَنْتَ فَجَّرْتَ عَيْنًا وَسَيْلًا. أَنْتَ يَبَّسْتَ أَنْهَارًا دَائِمَةَ ٱلْجَرَيَانِ. ١٥ 15
Thou, didst cleave open fountain and torrent, Thou, didst dry up rivers of steady flow:
لَكَ ٱلنَّهَارُ، وَلَكَ أَيْضًا ٱللَّيْلُ. أَنْتَ هَيَّأْتَ ٱلنُّورَ وَٱلشَّمْسَ. ١٦ 16
Thine, is the day, Yea, thine, the night, Thou, didst establish moon and sun;
أَنْتَ نَصَبْتَ كُلَّ تُخُومِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. ٱلصَّيْفَ وَٱلشِّتَاءَ أَنْتَ خَلَقْتَهُمَا. ١٧ 17
Thou, didst set up all the bounds of the earth, As for summer and winter, thou, didst form them!
اُذْكُرْ هَذَا: أَنَّ ٱلْعَدُوَّ قَدْ عَيَّرَ ٱلرَّبَّ، وَشَعْبًا جَاهِلًا قَدْ أَهَانَ ٱسْمَكَ. ١٨ 18
Remember this, An enemy, hath reproached Yahweh, Yea, an impious people, have reviled thy Name.
لَا تُسَلِّمْ لِلْوَحْشِ نَفْسَ يَمَامَتِكَ. قَطِيعَ بَائِسِيكَ لَا تَنْسَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. ١٩ 19
Do not deliver up, to a wild beast, the life of thy turtle-dove, The living host of thine oppressed ones, do not forget perpetually.
ٱنْظُرْ إِلَى ٱلْعَهْدِ، لِأَنَّ مُظْلِمَاتِ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱمْتَلَأَتْ مِنْ مَسَاكِنِ ٱلظُّلْمِ. ٢٠ 20
Have respect to thy covenant, For the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of violence.
لَا يَرْجِعَنَّ ٱلْمُنْسَحِقُ خَازِيًا. ٱلْفَقِيرُ وَٱلْبَائِسُ لِيُسَبِّحَا ٱسْمَكَ. ٢١ 21
May the crushed one not again be confounded, As for the oppressed and the needy, let them praise thy Name.
قُمْ يَا ٱللهُ. أَقِمْ دَعْوَاكَ. ٱذْكُرْ تَعْيِيرَ ٱلْجَاهِلِ إِيَّاكَ ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ. ٢٢ 22
Arise! O God, plead thine own cause, Remember the reproach of thee, from the impious one, all the day:
لَا تَنْسَ صَوْتَ أَضْدَادِكَ، ضَجِيجَ مُقَاوِمِيكَ ٱلصَّاعِدَ دَائِمًا. ٢٣ 23
Do not forget the voice of thine adversaries, The noise of thine assailants, ascending continually.
