اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 83

١ 1 تَسْبِيحَةٌ. مَزْمُورٌ لِآسَافَ اَللَّهُمَّ، لَا تَصْمُتْ. لَا تَسْكُتْ وَلَا تَهْدَأْ يَاٱللهُ.

A Song, a Melody of Asaph. O God, Do not keep quiet, Do not hold thy peace, Neither be thou still, O GOD!

٢ 2 فَهُوَذَا أَعْدَاؤُكَ يَعِجُّونَ، وَمُبْغِضُوكَ قَدْ رَفَعُوا ٱلرَّأْسَ.

For lo! thine enemies, are tumultuous, And, they who hate thee, have lifted up the head;

٣ 3 عَلَى شَعْبِكَ مَكَرُوا مُؤَامَرَةً، وَتَشَاوَرُوا عَلَى أَحْمِيَائِكَ.

Against thy people, they craftily devise a secret plot, And conspire against thy treasured ones.

٤ 4 قَالُوا: «هَلُمَّ نُبِدْهُمْ مِنْ بَيْنِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ، وَلَا يُذْكَرُ ٱسْمُ إِسْرَائِيلَ بَعْدُ».

They have said—Come, and let us wipe them out from being a nation, That the name of Israel may be remembered no more.

٥ 5 لِأَنَّهُمْ تَآمَرُوا بِٱلْقَلْبِ مَعًا. عَلَيْكَ تَعَاهَدُوا عَهْدًا.

For they have taken counsel with one heart, Against thee—a covenant, would they solemnize—

٦ 6 خِيَامُ أَدُومَ وَٱلْإِسْمَاعِيلِيِّينَ، مُوآبُ وَٱلْهَاجَرِيُّونَ.

The tents of Edom, and the Ishmaelites, of Moab and the Hagarenes;

٧ 7 جِبَالُ وَعَمُّونُ وَعَمَالِيقُ، فَلَسْطِينُ مَعَ سُكَّانِ صُورٍ.

Gebal and Ammon, and Amalek, The Philistines, with the dwellers in Tyre;

٨ 8 أَشُّورُ أَيْضًا ٱتَّفَقَ مَعَهُمْ. صَارُوا ذِرَاعًا لِبَنِي لُوطٍ. سِلَاهْ.

Even Assyria hath joined herself with them, They have become an arm to the sons of Lot. (Selah)

٩ 9 اِفْعَلْ بِهِمْ كَمَا بِمِدْيَانَ، كَمَا بِسِيسَرَا، كَمَا بِيَابِينَ فِي وَادِي قِيشُونَ.

Make them like Midian, like Sisera, like Jabin, by the torrent of Kishon;

١٠ 10 بَادُوا فِي عَيْنِ دُورٍ. صَارُوا دِمَنًا لِلْأَرْضِ.

They perished at En-dor, They become manure for the soil!

١١ 11 ٱجْعَلْهُمْ، شُرَفَاءَهُمْ مِثْلَ غُرَابٍ، وَمِثْلَ ذِئْبٍ. وَمِثْلَ زَبَحَ، وَمِثْلَ صَلْمُنَّاعَ كُلَّ أُمَرَائِهِمْ.

Make them—their nobles—like Oreb and like Zeeb, And, like Zebah and like Zalmunna, all their princes:

١٢ 12 ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوا: «لِنَمْتَلِكْ لِأَنْفُسِنَا مَسَاكِنَ ٱللهِ».

Who said—Let us take a possession for ourselves, The pastures of God!

١٣ 13 يَا إِلَهِي، ٱجْعَلْهُمْ مِثْلَ ٱلْجُلِّ، مِثْلَ ٱلْقَشِّ أَمَامَ ٱلرِّيحِ.

O my God, make them, As whirling [dust], As chaff before a wind;

١٤ 14 كَنَارٍ تَحْرِقُ ٱلْوَعْرَ، كَلَهِيبٍ يُشْعِلُ ٱلْجِبَالَ.

As a fire burneth a forest, —And as a flame setteth mountains ablaze,

١٥ 15 هَكَذَا ٱطْرُدْهُمْ بِعَاصِفَتِكَ، وَبِزَوْبَعَتِكَ رَوِّعْهُمْ.

So, wilt thou pursue them with thy tempest, —And, with thy storm-wind, wilt terrify them:

١٦ 16 ٱمْلَأْ وُجُوهَهُمْ خِزْيًا، فَيَطْلُبُوا ٱسْمَكَ يَارَبُّ.

Fill thou their faces with dishonour, That men may seek thy Name, O Yahweh;

١٧ 17 لِيَخْزَوْا وَيَرْتَاعُوا إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، وَلْيَخْجَلُوا وَيَبِيدُوا،

Let them turn pale, and be terrified to futurity, Yea let them blush, and perish:

١٨ 18 وَيَعْلَمُوا أَنَّكَ ٱسْمُكَ يَهْوَهُ وَحْدَكَ، ٱلْعَلِيُّ عَلَى كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

That men may know that, thou, Whose Name alone is Yahweh, Art Most High over all the earth.
