< اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 89 >

قَصِيدَةٌ لِأَيْثَانَ ٱلْأَزْرَاحِيِّ بِمَرَاحِمِ ٱلرَّبِّ أُغَنِّي إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ. لِدَوْرٍ فَدَوْرٍ أُخْبِرُ عَنْ حَقِّكَ بِفَمِي. ١ 1
A Maskil of Ethan the Ezrahite. I will sing evermore of the love of the Lord, proclaiming to all generations his faithfulness.
لِأَنِّي قُلْتُ: «إِنَّ ٱلرَّحْمَةَ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ تُبْنَى. ٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ تُثْبِتُ فِيهَا حَقَّكَ». ٢ 2
For your love you did promise to build up forever, your faithfulness firm as the heavens themselves.
«قَطَعْتُ عَهْدًا مَعَ مُخْتَارِي، حَلَفْتُ لِدَاوُدَ عَبْدِي: ٣ 3
‘I have made with my chosen a covenant, and sworn to David my servant,
إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ أُثَبِّتُ نَسْلَكَ، وَأَبْنِي إِلَى دَوْرٍ فَدَوْرٍ كُرْسِيَّكَ». سِلَاهْ. ٤ 4
to establish his seed forever, and to build up his throne to all ages.’ (Selah)
وَٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ تَحْمَدُ عَجَائِبَكَ يَارَبُّ، وَحَقَّكَ أَيْضًا فِي جَمَاعَةِ ٱلْقِدِّيسِينَ. ٥ 5
Then the holy assembly in heaven praised your marvellous faithfulness, Lord.
لِأَنَّهُ مَنْ فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ يُعَادِلُ ٱلرَّبَّ. مَنْ يُشْبِهُ ٱلرَّبَّ بَيْنَ أَبْنَاءِ ٱللهِ؟ ٦ 6
For who in the skies may compare with the Lord? Who is like the Lord among the gods?
إِلَهٌ مَهُوبٌ جِدًّا فِي مُؤَامَرَةِ ٱلْقِدِّيسِينَ، وَمَخُوفٌ عِنْدَ جَمِيعِ ٱلَّذِينَ حَوْلَهُ. ٧ 7
A God to be feared in the holy assembly, awful and great above all who are round him.
يَارَبُّ إِلَهَ ٱلْجُنُودِ، مَنْ مِثْلُكَ؟ قَوِيٌّ، رَبٌّ، وَحَقُّكَ مِنْ حَوْلِكَ. ٨ 8
O Lord God of hosts, who is mighty as you? Your strength and faithfulness, Lord, surround you.
أَنْتَ مُتَسَلِّطٌ عَلَى كِبْرِيَاءِ ٱلْبَحْرِ. عِنْدَ ٱرْتِفَاعِ لُجَجِهِ أَنْتَ تُسَكِّنُهَا. ٩ 9
You are the Lord of the raging sea: when its waves surge, it is you who still them.
أَنْتَ سَحَقْتَ رَهَبَ مِثْلَ ٱلْقَتِيلِ. بِذِرَاعِ قُوَّتِكَ بَدَّدْتَ أَعْدَاءَكَ. ١٠ 10
It was you who did pierce and crush Rahab in pieces, and scatter your foes by your mighty arm.
لَكَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ. لَكَ أَيْضًا ٱلْأَرْضُ. ٱلْمَسْكُونَةُ وَمِلْؤُهَا أَنْتَ أَسَّسْتَهُمَا. ١١ 11
Yours are the heavens, yours also the earth, the world and its fulness, it’s you who did found them.
ٱلشِّمَالُ وَٱلْجَنُوبُ أَنْتَ خَلَقْتَهُمَا. تَابُورُ وَحَرْمُونُ بِٱسْمِكَ يَهْتِفَانِ. ١٢ 12
The north and the south, it’s you have created them; Tabor and Hermon shout praise to your name.
لَكَ ذِرَاعُ ٱلْقُدْرَةِ. قَوِيَّةٌ يَدُكَ. مُرْتَفِعَةٌ يَمِينُكَ. ١٣ 13
You have an arm with the might of a hero; strong is your hand, high uplifted your right hand.
ٱلْعَدْلُ وَٱلْحَقُّ قَاعِدَةُ كُرْسِيِّكَ. ٱلرَّحْمَةُ وَٱلْأَمَانَةُ تَتَقَدَّمَانِ أَمَامَ وَجْهِكَ. ١٤ 14
Justice and right are the base of your throne, kindness and faithfulness ever attend you.
طُوبَى لِلشَّعْبِ ٱلْعَارِفِينَ ٱلْهُتَافَ. يَارَبُّ، بِنُورِ وَجْهِكَ يَسْلُكُونَ. ١٥ 15
Happy the people who know the glad shout, who walk, O Lord, in the light of your face.
بِٱسْمِكَ يَبْتَهِجُونَ ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ، وَبِعَدْلِكَ يَرْتَفِعُونَ. ١٦ 16
They exult in your name all the day, and your righteousness they extol.
لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ فَخْرُ قُوَّتِهِمْ، وَبِرِضَاكَ يَنْتَصِبُ قَرْنُنَا. ١٧ 17
For you are our strength and our pride. Your favour will lift us to honour.
لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ مِجَنُّنَا، وَقُدُّوسَ إِسْرَائِيلَ مَلِكُنَا. ١٨ 18
For the holy Lord of Israel keeps our defender and king.
حِينَئِذٍ كَلَّمْتَ بِرُؤْيَا تَقِيَّكَ وَقُلْتَ: «جَعَلْتُ عَوْنًا عَلَى قَوِيٍّ. رَفَعْتُ مُخْتَارًا مِنْ بَيْنِ ٱلشَّعْبِ. ١٩ 19
In a vision of old you did speak in this way to the one whom you loved: ‘A crown I have set on the hero I chose to be over the people
وَجَدْتُ دَاوُدَ عَبْدِي. بِدُهْنِ قُدْسِي مَسَحْتُهُ. ٢٠ 20
‘I found my servant David, and anointed with holy oil.
ٱلَّذِي تَثْبُتُ يَدِي مَعَهُ. أَيْضًا ذِرَاعِي تُشَدِّدُهُ. ٢١ 21
My hand will be with him forever, my arm will give him strength.
لَا يُرْغِمُهُ عَدُوٌّ، وَٱبْنُ ٱلْإِثْمِ لَا يُذَلِّلُهُ. ٢٢ 22
‘No enemy will dare to assail him, nor the wicked to oppress him;
وَأَسْحَقُ أَعْدَاءَهُ أَمَامَ وَجْهِهِ، وَأَضْرِبُ مُبْغِضِيهِ. ٢٣ 23
but his foes I will shatter before him, I will strike down those who hate him.
أَمَّا أَمَانَتِي وَرَحْمَتِي فَمَعَهُ، وَبِٱسْمِي يَنْتَصِبُ قَرْنُهُ. ٢٤ 24
‘My loyal love shall attend him, and I will lift him to honour.
وَأَجْعَلُ عَلَى ٱلْبَحْرِ يَدَهُ، وَعَلَى ٱلْأَنْهَارِ يَمِينَهُ. ٢٥ 25
I will set his hand on the sea, and his right hand on the rivers.
هُوَ يَدْعُونِي: أَبِي أَنْتَ، إِلَهِي وَصَخْرَةُ خَلَاصِي. ٢٦ 26
‘As for him, he will call me “My father, my God, and my rock of salvation.”
أَنَا أَيْضًا أَجْعَلُهُ بِكْرًا، أَعْلَى مِنْ مُلُوكِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. ٢٧ 27
And I will make him my firstborn, highest of kings on the earth.
إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ أَحْفَظُ لَهُ رَحْمَتِي. وَعَهْدِي يُثَبَّتُ لَهُ. ٢٨ 28
‘My love will I keep for him ever, my covenant with him shall stand fast.
وَأَجْعَلُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ نَسْلَهُ مِثْلَ أَيَّامِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ. ٢٩ 29
His line will I make everlasting, and his throne as the days of the heavens.
إِنْ تَرَكَ بَنُوهُ شَرِيعَتِي وَلَمْ يَسْلُكُوا بِأَحْكَامِي، ٣٠ 30
‘If his children forsake my law, and walk not as I have ordained;
إِنْ نَقَضُوا فَرَائِضِي وَلَمْ يَحْفَظُوا وَصَايَايَ، ٣١ 31
if they profane my statutes, and do not keep my commandments;
أَفْتَقِدُ بِعَصًا مَعْصِيَتَهُمْ، وَبِضَرَبَاتٍ إِثْمَهُمْ. ٣٢ 32
‘I will punish their sin with the rod, their iniquity with scourges.
أَمَّا رَحْمَتِي فَلَا أَنْزِعُهَا عَنْهُ، وَلَا أَكْذِبُ مِنْ جِهَةِ أَمَانَتِي. ٣٣ 33
But my love will I not take from him, nor will I belie my faithfulness.
لَا أَنْقُضُ عَهْدِي، وَلَا أُغَيِّرُ مَا خَرَجَ مِنْ شَفَتَيَّ. ٣٤ 34
‘I will not profane my covenant by changing the word that has passed my lips.
مَرَّةً حَلَفْتُ بِقُدْسِي، أَنِّي لَا أَكْذِبُ لِدَاوُدَ: ٣٥ 35
Once have I solemnly sworn and I would not lie to David,
نَسْلُهُ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ يَكُونُ، وَكُرْسِيُّهُ كَٱلشَّمْسِ أَمَامِي. ٣٦ 36
‘that his line should endure forever, and his throne as the sun before me,
مِثْلَ ٱلْقَمَرِ يُثَبَّتُ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ. وَٱلشَّاهِدُ فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ أَمِينٌ. سِلَاهْ. ٣٧ 37
firm as the moon which for ever and ever is fixed in the sky.’ (Selah)
لَكِنَّكَ رَفَضْتَ وَرَذَلْتَ، غَضِبْتَ عَلَى مَسِيحِكَ. ٣٨ 38
But you have cast off in contempt, and been furious with your anointed.
نَقَضْتَ عَهْدَ عَبْدِكَ، نَجَّسْتَ تَاجَهُ فِي ٱلتُّرَابِ. ٣٩ 39
You have spurned the covenant with your servant, and his sacred crown dashed to the ground.
هَدَمْتَ كُلَّ جُدْرَانِهِ جَعَلْتَ حُصُونَهُ خَرَابًا. ٤٠ 40
You have broken down all his walls, and laid his bulwarks in ruins.
أَفْسَدَهُ كُلُّ عَابِرِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ صَارَ عَارًا عِنْدَ جِيرَانِهِ. ٤١ 41
All who pass on their way despoil him, the scorn of his neighbours is he now.
رَفَعْتَ يَمِينَ مُضَايِقِيهِ، فَرَّحْتَ جَمِيعَ أَعْدَائِهِ. ٤٢ 42
You have given his foes the victory, and made all his enemies glad.
أَيْضًا رَدَدْتَ حَدَّ سَيْفِهِ، وَلَمْ تَنْصُرْهُ فِي ٱلْقِتَالِ. ٤٣ 43
You have turned back his sword from the foe, you did not lift him up in the battle.
أَبْطَلْتَ بَهَاءَهُ، وَأَلْقَيْتَ كُرْسِيَّهُ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ. ٤٤ 44
The sceptre you took from his hand, and his throne you did hurl to the ground.
قَصَّرْتَ أَيَّامَ شَبَابِهِ غَطَّيْتَهُ بِٱلْخِزْيِ. سِلَاهْ. ٤٥ 45
You have shortened the days of his youth, and covered him with shame. (Selah)
حَتَّى مَتَى يَارَبُّ تَخْتَبِئُ كُلَّ ٱلِٱخْتِبَاءِ؟ حَتَّى مَتَى يَتَّقِدُ كَٱلنَّارِ غَضَبُكَ؟ ٤٦ 46
How long, Lord will you hide you forever? How long are the fires of your wrath to burn?
ٱذْكُرْ كَيْفَ أَنَا زَائِلٌ، إِلَى أَيِّ بَاطِلٍ خَلَقْتَ جَمِيعَ بَنِي آدَمَ! ٤٧ 47
Remember, Lord, the shortness of life how fleeting you made all people.
أَيُّ إِنْسَانٍ يَحْيَا وَلَا يَرَى ٱلْمَوْتَ؟ أَيٌّ يُنَجِّي نَفْسَهُ مِنْ يَدِ ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ؟ سِلَاهْ. (Sheol h7585) ٤٨ 48
Who can live without seeing death? Who can rescue their life from the clutch of Sheol? (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
أَيْنَ مَرَاحِمُكَ ٱلْأُوَلُ يَارَبُّ، ٱلَّتِي حَلَفْتَ بِهَا لِدَاوُدَ بِأَمَانَتِكَ؟ ٤٩ 49
Where, Lord, is your kindness of old, which you in your faithfulness swore to David?
ٱذْكُرْ يَارَبُّ عَارَ عَبِيدِكَ ٱلَّذِي أَحْتَمِلُهُ فِي حِضْنِي مِنْ كَثْرَةِ ٱلْأُمَمِ كُلِّهَا، ٥٠ 50
Remember, O Lord, how your servants are mocked, how I bear in my heart the scorn of all nations
ٱلَّذِي بِهِ عَيَّرَ أَعْدَاؤُكَ يَارَبُّ، ٱلَّذِينَ عَيَّرُوا آثَارَ مَسِيحِكَ. ٥١ 51
The scorn which your enemies hurl, O Lord, which they hurl at the footsteps of your anointed.
مُبَارَكٌ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ. آمِينَ فَآمِينَ. ٥٢ 52
Blest be the Lord, for ever and ever. Amen and Amen.
