اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 94

١ 1 يَا إِلَهَ ٱلنَّقَمَاتِ يَارَبُّ، يَا إِلَهَ ٱلنَّقَمَاتِ، أَشْرِقِ.

O Lord God the auenger, O God the auenger, shewe thy selfe clearely.

٢ 2 ٱرْتَفِعْ يَا دَيَّانَ ٱلْأَرْضِ. جَازِ صَنِيعَ ٱلْمُسْتَكْبِرِينَ.

Exalt thy selfe, O Iudge of the worlde, and render a reward to the proude.

٣ 3 حَتَّى مَتَى ٱلْخُطَاةُ يَارَبُّ، حَتَّى مَتَى ٱلْخُطَاةُ يَشْمَتُونَ؟

Lord how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?

٤ 4 يُبِقُّونَ، يَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِوَقَاحَةٍ. كُلُّ فَاعِلِي ٱلْإِثْمِ يَفْتَخِرُونَ.

They prate and speake fiercely: all the workers of iniquitie vaunt themselues.

٥ 5 يَسْحَقُونَ شَعْبَكَ يَارَبُّ، وَيُذِلُّونَ مِيرَاثَكَ.

They smite downe thy people, O Lord, and trouble thine heritage.

٦ 6 يَقْتُلُونَ ٱلْأَرْمَلَةَ وَٱلْغَرِيبَ، وَيُمِيتُونَ ٱلْيَتِيمَ.

They slay the widowe and the stranger, and murder the fatherlesse.

٧ 7 وَيَقُولُونَ: «ٱلرَّبُّ لَا يُبْصِرُ، وَإِلَهُ يَعْقُوبَ لَا يُلَاحِظُ».

Yet they say, The Lord shall not see: neither will the God of Iaakob regard it.

٨ 8 اِفْهَمُوا أَيُّهَا ٱلْبُلَدَاءُ فِي ٱلشَّعْبِ، وَيَا جُهَلَاءُ مَتَى تَعْقِلُونَ؟

Vnderstande ye vnwise among the people: and ye fooles, when will ye be wise?

٩ 9 ٱلْغَارِسُ ٱلْأُذُنِ أَلَا يَسْمَعُ؟ ٱلصَّانِعُ ٱلْعَيْنَ أَلَا يُبْصِرُ؟

Hee that planted the eare, shall hee not heare? or he that formed the eye, shall he not see?

١٠ 10 ٱلْمُؤَدِّبُ ٱلْأُمَمَ أَلَا يُبَكِّتُ؟ ٱلْمُعَلِّمُ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ مَعْرِفَةً.

Or he that chastiseth the nations, shall he not correct? hee that teacheth man knowledge, shall he not knowe?

١١ 11 ٱلرَّبُّ يَعْرِفُ أَفْكَارَ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ أَنَّهَا بَاطِلَةٌ.

The Lord knoweth the thoughtes of man, that they are vanitie.

١٢ 12 طُوبَى لِلرَّجُلِ ٱلَّذِي تُؤَدِّبُهُ يَارَبُّ، وَتُعَلِّمُهُ مِنْ شَرِيعَتِكَ

Blessed is the man, whom thou chastisest, O Lord, and teachest him in thy Lawe,

١٣ 13 لِتُرِيحَهُ مِنْ أَيَّامِ ٱلشَّرِّ، حَتَّى تُحْفَرَ لِلشِّرِّيرِ حُفْرَةٌ.

That thou mayest giue him rest from the dayes of euill, whiles the pitte is digged for the wicked.

١٤ 14 لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ لَا يَرْفُضُ شَعْبَهُ، وَلَا يَتْرُكُ مِيرَاثَهُ.

Surely the Lord will not faile his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.

١٥ 15 لِأَنَّهُ إِلَى ٱلْعَدْلِ يَرْجِعُ ٱلْقَضَاءُ، وَعَلَى أَثَرِهِ كُلُّ مُسْتَقِيمِي ٱلْقُلُوبِ.

For iudgement shall returne to iustice, and all the vpright in heart shall follow after it.

١٦ 16 مَنْ يَقُومُ لِي عَلَى ٱلْمُسِيئِينَ؟ مَنْ يَقِفُ لِي ضِدَّ فَعَلَةِ ٱلْإِثْمِ؟

Who will rise vp with me against the wicked? or who will take my part against the workers of iniquitie?

١٧ 17 لَوْلَا أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ مُعِينِي، لَسَكَنَتْ نَفْسِي سَرِيعًا أَرْضَ ٱلسُّكُوتِ.

If the Lord had not holpen me, my soule had almost dwelt in silence.

١٨ 18 إِذْ قُلْتُ: «قَدْ زَلَّتْ قَدَمِي» فَرَحْمَتُكَ يَارَبُّ تَعْضُدُنِي.

When I said, My foote slideth, thy mercy, O Lord, stayed me.

١٩ 19 عِنْدَ كَثْرَةِ هُمُومِي فِي دَاخِلِي، تَعْزِيَاتُكَ تُلَذِّذُ نَفْسِي.

In the multitude of my thoughts in mine heart, thy comfortes haue reioyced my soule.

٢٠ 20 هَلْ يُعَاهِدُكَ كُرْسِيُّ ٱلْمَفَاسِدِ، ٱلْمُخْتَلِقُ إِثْمًا عَلَى فَرِيضَةٍ؟

Hath the throne of iniquitie fellowship with thee, which forgeth wrong for a Lawe?

٢١ 21 يَزْدَحِمُونَ عَلَى نَفْسِ ٱلصِّدِّيقِ، وَيَحْكُمُونَ عَلَى دَمٍ زَكِيٍّ.

They gather them together against the soule of the righteous, and condemne the innocent blood.

٢٢ 22 فَكَانَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِي صَرْحًا، وَإِلَهِي صَخْرَةَ مَلْجَإِي.

But the Lord is my refuge, and my God is the rocke of mine hope.

٢٣ 23 وَيَرُدُّ عَلَيْهِمْ إِثْمَهُمْ، وَبِشَرِّهِمْ يُفْنِيهِمْ. يُفْنِيهِمُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا.

And hee will recompence them their wickednes, and destroy them in their owne malice: yea, the Lord our God shall destroy them.
