< اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 109 >
لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ. لِدَاوُدَ. مَزْمُورٌ يَا إِلَهَ تَسْبِيحِي لَا تَسْكُتْ، | ١ 1 |
For the leader. Of David, a psalm. O God whom I praise, keep not silence;
لِأَنَّهُ قَدِ ٱنْفَتَحَ عَلَيَّ فَمُ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ وَفَمُ ٱلْغِشِّ. تَكَلَّمُوا مَعِي بِلِسَانِ كِذْبٍ، | ٢ 2 |
for their wicked mouths they have opened against me, they speak to me with tongues that are false,
بِكَلَامِ بُغْضٍ أَحَاطُوا بِي، وَقَاتَلُونِي بِلَا سَبَبٍ. | ٣ 3 |
they beset me with words of hatred, and fight without cause against me.
بَدَلَ مَحَبَّتِي يُخَاصِمُونَنِي. أَمَّا أَنَا فَصَلَاةٌ. | ٤ 4 |
My love they requite with hostility, while for them I lift up my prayer.
وَضَعُوا عَلَيَّ شَرًّا بَدَلَ خَيْرٍ، وَبُغْضًا بَدَلَ حُبِّي. | ٥ 5 |
Evil for good they reward me, and hatred for my love.
فَأَقِمْ أَنْتَ عَلَيْهِ شِرِّيرًا، وَلْيَقِفْ شَيْطَانٌ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ. | ٦ 6 |
‘Set over him one who is godless,’ they say, ‘an opponent at his right hand.
إِذَا حُوكِمَ فَلْيَخْرُجْ مُذْنِبًا، وَصَلَاتُهُ فَلْتَكُنْ خَطِيَّةً. | ٧ 7 |
From his trial let him come forth guilty, may his prayer be counted as sin.
لِتَكُنْ أَيَّامُهُ قَلِيلَةً، وَوَظِيفَتُهُ لِيَأْخُذْهَا آخَرُ. | ٨ 8 |
Grant that his days may be few, that his office be seized by another.
لِيَكُنْ بَنُوهُ أَيْتَامًا وَٱمْرَأَتُهُ أَرْمَلَةً. | ٩ 9 |
Grant that his children be fatherless, and that his wife be a widow.
لِيَتِهْ بَنُوهُ تَيَهَانًا وَيَسْتَعْطُوا، وَيَلْتَمِسُوا خُبْزًا مِنْ خِرَبِهِمْ. | ١٠ 10 |
Up and down may his children go begging, expelled from their desolate home.
لِيَصْطَدِ ٱلْمُرَابِي كُلَّ مَا لَهُ، وَلْيَنْهَبِ ٱلْغُرَبَاءُ تَعَبَهُ. | ١١ 11 |
May all that he owns be seized by the creditor may strangers plunder the fruits of his toil.
لَا يَكُنْ لَهُ بَاسِطٌ رَحْمَةً، وَلَا يَكُنْ مُتَرَأِفٌ عَلَى يَتَامَاهُ. | ١٢ 12 |
‘May none extend to him kindness, or pity his fatherless children.
لِتَنْقَرِضْ ذُرِّيَّتُهُ. فِي ٱلْجِيلِ ٱلْقَادِمِ لِيُمْحَ ٱسْمُهُمْ. | ١٣ 13 |
His descendants be doomed to destruction! Blotted out be his name in one generation!
لِيُذْكَرْ إِثْمُ آبَائِهِ لَدَى ٱلرَّبِّ، وَلَا تُمْحَ خَطِيَّةُ أُمِّهِ. | ١٤ 14 |
May his father’s guilt be remembered, and his mother’s sin not blotted out:
لِتَكُنْ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ دَائِمًا، وَلْيَقْرِضْ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ ذِكْرَهُمْ. | ١٥ 15 |
on record always before the Lord, and his memory root from the earth;
مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَذْكُرْ أَنْ يَصْنَعَ رَحْمَةً، بَلْ طَرَدَ إِنْسَانًا مِسْكِينًا وَفَقِيرًا وَٱلْمُنْسَحِقَ ٱلْقَلْبِ لِيُمِيتَهُ. | ١٦ 16 |
for he gave no thought to show kindness, but pursued the poor and the needy, drove the downhearted to death.
وَأَحَبَّ ٱللَّعْنَةَ فَأَتَتْهُ، وَلَمْ يُسَرَّ بِٱلْبَرَكَةِ فَتَبَاعَدَتْ عَنْهُ. | ١٧ 17 |
‘May the curses he loved light upon him, may the blessings he loathed be afar.
وَلَبِسَ ٱللَّعْنَةَ مِثْلَ ثَوْبِهِ، فَدَخَلَتْ كَمِيَاهٍ فِي حَشَاهُ وَكَزَيْتٍ فِي عِظَامِهِ. | ١٨ 18 |
Like a garment he clothed him with curses; may they pierce to his inwards like water, and cling to his bones like oil.
لِتَكُنْ لَهُ كَثَوْبٍ يَتَعَطَّفُ بِهِ، وَكَمِنْطَقَةٍ يَتَنَطَّقُ بِهَا دَائِمًا. | ١٩ 19 |
Let them be like the robe he wraps round him, like the belt he wears every day.’
هَذِهِ أُجْرَةُ مُبْغِضِيَّ مِنْ عِنْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَأُجْرَةُ ٱلْمُتَكَلِّمِينَ شَرًّا عَلَى نَفْسِي. | ٢٠ 20 |
Be this the reward of my adversaries, of those who speak evil against me.
أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَارَبُّ ٱلسَّيِّدُ فَٱصْنَعْ مَعِي مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱسْمِكَ. لِأَنَّ رَحْمَتَكَ طَيِّبَةٌ نَجِّنِي. | ٢١ 21 |
But you, Lord my God, be true to your name, deal kindly with me; in your gracious kindness save me.
فَإِنِّي فَقِيرٌ وَمِسْكِينٌ أَنَا، وَقَلْبِي مَجْرُوحٌ فِي دَاخِلِي. | ٢٢ 22 |
For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.
كَظِلٍّ عِنْدَ مَيْلِهِ ذَهَبْتُ. ٱنْتَفَضْتُ كَجَرَادَةٍ. | ٢٣ 23 |
I am gone like a lengthening shadow, I am shaken off like a locust.
رُكْبَتَايَ ٱرْتَعَشَتَا مِنَ ٱلصَّوْمِ، وَلَحْمِي هُزِلَ عَنْ سِمَنٍ. | ٢٤ 24 |
My knees totter from fasting, my flesh is shrivelled and spare.
وَأَنَا صِرْتُ عَارًا عِنْدَهُمْ. يَنْظُرُونَ إِلَيَّ وَيُنْغِضُونَ رُؤُوسَهُمْ | ٢٥ 25 |
They heap insults upon me: when they see me, they shake their head.
أَعِنِّي يَارَبُّ إِلَهِي. خَلِّصْنِي حَسَبَ رَحْمَتِكَ. | ٢٦ 26 |
Help me, O Lord my God, and save me in your kindness.
وَلْيَعْلَمُوا أَنَّ هَذِهِ هِيَ يَدُكَ. أَنْتَ يَارَبُّ فَعَلْتَ هَذَا. | ٢٧ 27 |
Teach them that this is your hand, and your own doing, O Lord.
أَمَّا هُمْ فَيَلْعَنُونَ، وَأَمَّا أَنْتَ فَتُبَارِكُ. قَامُوا وَخَزُوا، أَمَّا عَبْدُكَ فَيَفْرَحُ. | ٢٨ 28 |
Let them curse, if only you bless. Put my assailants to shame, and make your servant glad.
لِيَلْبِسْ خُصَمَائِي خَجَلًا، وَلْيَتَعَطَّفُوا بِخِزْيِهِمْ كَٱلرِّدَاءِ. | ٢٩ 29 |
My opponents be clothed with dishonour, and wrapped in a robe of shame.
أَحْمَدُ ٱلرَّبَّ جِدًّا بِفَمِي، وَفِي وَسَطِ كَثِيرِينَ أُسَبِّحُهُ. | ٣٠ 30 |
I give thanks to you, Lord, with loud voice, I give praise in the midst of the throng;
لِأَنَّهُ يَقُومُ عَنْ يَمِينِ ٱلْمَسْكِينِ، لِيُخَلِّصَهُ مِنَ ٱلْقَاضِينَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ. | ٣١ 31 |
for he stands by the poor, at his right hand, to save them from those who condemn them.
