Psalms 73
1 Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart.
| مَزْمُورٌ لآسَافَ حَقّاً إِنَّ اللهَ رَفِيقٌ بِإِسْرَائِيلَ، بِذَوِي الْقُلُوبِ النَّقِيَّةِ. | ١ |
2 But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.
| أَمَّا أَنَا فَقَدْ أَوْشَكَتْ قَدَمَايَ أَنْ تَزِلّا، وَخَطَوَاتِي أَنْ تَنْزَلِقَ، | ٢ |
3 For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
| لأَنِّي حَسَدْتُ الْمُتَكَبِّرِينَ، إِذْ شَاهَدْتُ نَجَاحَ الأَشْرَارِ. | ٣ |
4 For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm.
| فَإِنَّ أَوْجَاعَ الْمَوْتِ لَا تُصِيبُهُمْ وَأَجْسَامَهُمْ سَمِينَةٌ. | ٤ |
5 They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men.
| لَا يُقَاسُونَ مِنْ أَتْعَابِ الْبَشَرِ، وَلَا يُعَانُونَ مِنَ الْمَصَائِبِ كَالنَّاسِ. | ٥ |
6 Therefore pride compasses them about as a chain; violence covers them as a garment.
| لِذَلِكَ لَبِسُوا الْكِبْرِيَاءَ كَقِلادَةٍ، وَارْتَدَوْا الظُّلْمَ كَثَوْبٍ. | ٦ |
7 Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish.
| عُيُونُهُمْ جَاحِظَةٌ مِنْ كَثْرَةِ شَحْمِ طَمَعِهِمْ. وَشَرُّهُمْ تَجَاوَزَ مَا يَتَصَوَّرُهُ الْقَلْبُ. | ٧ |
8 They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily.
| يَسْتَهْزِئُونَ وَيَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِالظُّلْمِ خُبْثاً، وَبِكِبْرِيَاءَ يَنْطِقُونَ. | ٨ |
9 They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walks through the earth.
| جَدَّفُوا عَلَى السَّمَاءِ بِأَفْوَاهِهِمْ، وَلَوَّثُوا الأَرْضَ بِخُبْثِ أَلْسِنَتِهِمْ. | ٩ |
10 Therefore his people return here: and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them.
| حَتَّى شَعْبُ اللهِ يَرْجِعُونَ إِلَيْهِمْ، وَيُصَدِّقُونَ مَا يَقُولُونَهُ لَهُمْ. | ١٠ |
11 And they say, How does God know? and is there knowledge in the most High?
| أَمَّا هُمْ فَيَقُولُونَ: كَيْفَ يَعْلَمُ اللهُ، وَهَلْ يَدْرِي الْعَلِيُّ بِمَا يَحْدُثُ؟ | ١١ |
12 Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches.
| هَا هُمُ الأَشْرَارُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ فِي الْعَالَمِ يَزْدَادُونَ ثَرْوَةً. | ١٢ |
13 Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocence.
| بَاطِلاً قَدْ طَهَّرْتُ قَلْبِي وَغَسَلْتُ يَدَيَّ بِالنَّقَاوَةِ. | ١٣ |
14 For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning.
| لَقَدْ جَعَلْتَنِي يَا رَبُّ مُصَاباً طُولَ النَّهَارِ، وَأَوْقَعْتَ علَيَّ عِقَابَكَ كُلَّ صَبَاحٍ. | ١٤ |
15 If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend against the generation of your children.
| لَوْ أَنَّنِي نَطَقْتُ بِمِثْلِ هَذَا، لَكُنْتُ قَدْ خُنْتُ جِيلَ أَوْلادِكَ. | ١٥ |
16 When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;
| وَعِنْدَمَا نَوَيْتُ أَنْ أَفْهَمَ هَذَا، تَعَذَّرَ الأَمْرُ عَلَيَّ، | ١٦ |
17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end.
| إِلَى أَنْ دَخَلْتُ أَقْدَاسَ اللهِ، وَتَأَمَّلْتُ آخِرَةَ الأَشْرَارِ | ١٧ |
18 Surely you did set them in slippery places: you casted them down into destruction.
| حَقّاً إِنَّكَ أَوْقَفْتَهُمْ فِي أَمَاكِنَ زَلِقَةٍ، وَأَوْقَعْتَهُمْ فِي التَّهْلُكَاتِ. | ١٨ |
19 How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors.
| كَيْفَ صَارُوا لِلْخَرَابِ فَجْأَةً؟ انْقَرَضُوا وَأَفْنَتْهُمُ الدَّوَاهِي. | ١٩ |
20 As a dream when one awakes; so, O Lord, when you awake, you shall despise their image.
| كَحُلْمٍ يَتَلاشَى عِنْدَ الْيَقَظَةِ هَكَذَا تَخْتَفِي صُورَتُهُمْ عِنْدَمَا تَنْهَضُ يَا رَبُّ لِمُعَاقَبَتِهِمْ. | ٢٠ |
21 Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins.
| عِنْدَمَا تَمَرْمَرَ قَلْبِي وَوَخَزَنِي ضَمِيرِي، | ٢١ |
22 So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before you.
| أَدْرَكْتُ أَنَّنِي كُنْتُ غَبِيًّا لَا أَعْرِفُ شَيْئاً، إِذْ كُنْتُ كَبَهِيمَةٍ أَمَامَكَ. | ٢٢ |
23 Nevertheless I am continually with you: you have held me by my right hand.
| غَيْرَ أَنِّي مَعَكَ دَائِماً، وَأَنْتَ قَدْ أَمْسَكْتَ بِيَدِي الْيُمْنَى. | ٢٣ |
24 You shall guide me with your counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.
| تَهْدِينِي بِمَشُورَتِكَ، وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ تَأْخُذُنِي إِلَى الْمَجْدِ. | ٢٤ |
25 Whom have I in heaven but you? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside you.
| مَنْ لِي فِي السَّمَاءِ غَيْرُكَ؟ وَلَسْتُ أَبْغِي فِي الأَرْضِ أَحَداً مَعَكَ. | ٢٥ |
26 My flesh and my heart fails: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.
| إِنَّ جَسَدِي وَقَلْبِي يَفْنَيَانِ، أَمَّا اللهُ فَهُوَ صَخْرَةُ قَلْبِي وَنَصِيبِي إِلَى الدَّهْرِ. | ٢٦ |
27 For, lo, they that are far from you shall perish: you have destroyed all them that go a whoring from you.
| هُوَذَا الْمُبْتَعِدُونَ عَنْكَ يَهْلِكُونَ وَأَنْتَ تُدَمِّرُ كُلَّ مَنْ يَخُونُكَ. | ٢٧ |
28 But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all your works.
| أَمَّا أَنَا فَخَيْرٌ لِي أَنْ أَقْتَرِبَ إِلَى اللهِ، لأَنِّي عَلَى السَّيِّدِ تَوَكَّلْتُ، لأُحَدِّثَ بِجَمِيعِ عَجَائِبِكَ. | ٢٨ |
