< اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 102 >
صَلَاةٌ لِمِسْكِينٍ إِذَا أَعْيَا وَسَكَبَ شَكْوَاهُ قُدَّامَ ٱللهِ يَارَبُّ، ٱسْتَمِعْ صَلَاتِي، وَلْيَدْخُلْ إِلَيْكَ صُرَاخِي. | ١ 1 |
The prayer of the pauper, when he was anxious, and so he poured out his petition in the sight of the Lord. O Lord, hear my prayer, and let my outcry reach you.
لَا تَحْجُبْ وَجْهَكَ عَنِّي فِي يَوْمِ ضِيقِي. أَمِلْ إِلَيَّ أُذُنَكَ فِي يَوْمِ أَدْعُوكَ. ٱسْتَجِبْ لِي سَرِيعًا. | ٢ 2 |
Do not turn your face away from me. In whatever day that I am in trouble, incline your ear to me. In whatever day that I will call upon you, heed me quickly.
لِأَنَّ أَيَّامِي قَدْ فَنِيَتْ فِي دُخَانٍ، وَعِظَامِي مِثْلُ وَقِيدٍ قَدْ يَبِسَتْ. | ٣ 3 |
For my days have faded away like smoke, and my bones have dried out like firewood.
مَلْفُوحٌ كَٱلْعُشْبِ وَيَابِسٌ قَلْبِي، حَتَّى سَهَوْتُ عَنْ أَكْلِ خُبْزِي. | ٤ 4 |
I have been cut down like hay, and my heart has withered, for I had forgotten to eat my bread.
مِنْ صَوْتِ تَنَهُّدِي لَصِقَ عَظْمِي بِلَحْمِي. | ٥ 5 |
Before the voice of my groaning, my bone has adhered to my flesh.
أَشْبَهْتُ قُوقَ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ. صِرْتُ مِثْلَ بُومَةِ ٱلْخِرَبِ. | ٦ 6 |
I have become like a pelican in solitude. I have become like a night raven in a house.
سَهِدْتُ وَصِرْتُ كَعُصْفُورٍ مُنْفَرِدٍ عَلَى ٱلسَّطْحِ. | ٧ 7 |
I have kept vigil, and I have become like a solitary sparrow on a roof.
ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ عَيَّرَنِي أَعْدَائِيَ. ٱلْحَنِقُونَ عَلَيَّ حَلَفُوا عَلَيَّ. | ٨ 8 |
All day long my enemies reproached me, and those who praised me swore oaths against me.
إِنِّي قَدْ أَكَلْتُ ٱلرَّمَادَ مِثْلَ ٱلْخُبْزِ، وَمَزَجْتُ شَرَابِي بِدُمُوعٍ، | ٩ 9 |
For I chewed on ashes like bread, and I mixed weeping into my drink.
بِسَبَبِ غَضَبِكَ وَسَخَطِكَ، لِأَنَّكَ حَمَلْتَنِي وَطَرَحْتَنِي. | ١٠ 10 |
By the face of your anger and indignation, you lifted me up and threw me down.
أَيَّامِي كَظِلٍّ مَائِلٍ، وَأَنَا مِثْلُ ٱلْعُشْبِ يَبِسْتُ. | ١١ 11 |
My days have declined like a shadow, and I have dried out like hay.
أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَارَبُّ فَإِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ جَالِسٌ، وَذِكْرُكَ إِلَى دَوْرٍ فَدَوْرٍ. | ١٢ 12 |
But you, O Lord, endure for eternity, and your memorial is from generation to generation.
أَنْتَ تَقُومُ وَتَرْحَمُ صِهْيَوْنَ، لِأَنَّهُ وَقْتُ ٱلرَّأْفَةِ، لِأَنَّهُ جَاءَ ٱلْمِيعَادُ. | ١٣ 13 |
You will rise up and take pity on Zion, for it is time for its mercy, for the time has come.
لِأَنَّ عَبِيدَكَ قَدْ سُرُّوا بِحِجَارَتِهَا، وَحَنُّوا إِلَى تُرَابِهَا. | ١٤ 14 |
For its stones have pleased your servants, and they will take pity on its land.
فَتَخْشَى ٱلْأُمَمُ ٱسْمَ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَكُلُّ مُلُوكِ ٱلْأَرْضِ مَجْدَكَ. | ١٥ 15 |
And the Gentiles will fear your name, O Lord, and all the kings of the earth your glory.
إِذَا بَنَى ٱلرَّبُّ صِهْيَوْنَ يُرَى بِمَجْدِهِ. | ١٦ 16 |
For the Lord has built up Zion, and he will be seen in his glory.
ٱلْتَفَتَ إِلَى صَلَاةِ ٱلْمُضْطَرِّ، وَلَمْ يَرْذُلْ دُعَاءَهُمْ. | ١٧ 17 |
He has noticed the prayer of the humble, and he has not despised their petition.
يُكْتَبُ هَذَا لِلدَّوْرِ ٱلْآخِرِ، وشَعْبٌ سَوْفَ يُخْلَقُ يُسَبِّحُ ٱلرَّبَّ: | ١٨ 18 |
Let these things be written in another generation, and the people who will be created will praise the Lord.
«لِأَنَّهُ أَشْرَفَ مِنْ عُلْوِ قُدْسِهِ. ٱلرَّبُّ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ نَظَرَ، | ١٩ 19 |
For he has gazed from his high sanctuary. From heaven, the Lord has beheld the earth.
لِيَسْمَعَ أَنِينَ ٱلْأَسِيرِ، لِيُطْلِقَ بَنِي ٱلْمَوْتِ». | ٢٠ 20 |
So may he hear the groans of those in shackles, in order that he may release the sons of the slain.
لِكَيْ يُحَدَّثَ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَبِتَسْبِيحِهِ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، | ٢١ 21 |
So may they announce the name of the Lord in Zion and his praise in Jerusalem:
عِنْدَ ٱجْتِمَاعِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ مَعًا وَٱلْمَمَالِكِ لِعِبَادَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٢٢ 22 |
while the people convene, along with kings, in order that they may serve the Lord.
ضَعَّفَ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ قُوَّتِي، قَصَّرَ أَيَّامِي. | ٢٣ 23 |
He responded to him in the way of his virtue: Declare to me the brevity of my days.
أَقُولُ: «يَا إِلَهِي، لَا تَقْبِضْنِي فِي نِصْفِ أَيَّامِي. إِلَى دَهْرِ ٱلدُّهُورِ سِنُوكَ. | ٢٤ 24 |
Do not call me back in the middle of my days: your years are from generation to generation.
مِنْ قِدَمٍ أَسَّسْتَ ٱلْأَرْضَ، وَٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ هِيَ عَمَلُ يَدَيْكَ. | ٢٥ 25 |
In the beginning, O Lord, you founded the earth. And the heavens are the work of your hands.
هِيَ تَبِيدُ وَأَنْتَ تَبْقَى، وَكُلُّهَا كَثَوْبٍ تَبْلَى، كَرِدَاءٍ تُغَيِّرُهُنَّ فَتَتَغَيَّرُ. | ٢٦ 26 |
They will perish, but you remain. And all will grow old like a garment. And, like a blanket, you will change them, and they will be changed.
وَأَنْتَ هُوَ وَسِنُوكَ لَنْ تَنْتَهِيَ. | ٢٧ 27 |
Yet you are ever yourself, and your years will not decline.
أَبْنَاءُ عَبِيدِكَ يَسْكُنُونَ، وَذُرِّيَّتُهُمْ تُثَبَّتُ أَمَامَكَ». | ٢٨ 28 |
The sons of your servants will live, and their offspring will be guided aright in every age.
