< Psalms 10 >

1 Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?
رَبُّ، لِمَاذَا تَقِفُ بَعِيداً وَتَحْتَجِبُ فِي أَزْمِنَةِ الضِّيقِ؟١
2 The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.
الشِّرِّيرُ، بِعَجْرَفَةٍ، يَجِدُّ فِي تَعَقُّبِ الْمِسْكِينِ، غَيْرَ أَنَّ الأَشْرَارَ يَسْقُطُونَ فِي مُؤَامَرَتِهِمِ الَّتِي فَكَّرُوا فِيهَا.٢
3 For the wicked boasteth of his heart’s desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth.
الشِّرِّيرُ يَفْتَخِرُ بِشَهَوَاتِ نَفْسِهِ، وَالرَّجُلُ الطَّمَّاعُ يَلْعَنُ وَيُجَدِّفُ عَلَى اللهِ.٣
4 The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.
فِي تَكَبُّرِهِ وَتَشَامُخِهِ لاَ يَلْتَمِسُ اللهَ، وَلاَ مَكَانَ لِلهِ فِي أَفْكَارِهِ كُلِّهَا،٤
5 His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.
وَمَعْ ذَلِكَ فَإِنَّ مَسَاعِيَهُ تَبْدُو نَاجِحَةً، وَيَسْتَخِفُّ بِجَمِيعِ أَعْدَائِهِ. وَلَكِنَّ أَحْكَامَكَ عَالِيَةٌ أَسْمَى مِنْهُ٥
6 He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.
قَالَ فِي نَفْسِهِ: «لَنْ يُزَحْزِحَنِي شَيْءٌ، وَلَنْ يَنَالَنِي مَكْرُوهٌ قَطُّ».٦
7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.
فَمُهُ مَمْلُوءٌ لَعْنَةً وَغِشّاً وَظُلْماً. تَحْتَ لِسَانِهِ الأَذَى وَالإِثْمُ.٧
8 He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are secretly set against the poor.
يَتَرَبَّصُ فِي كَمَائِنِ الدِّيَارِ لِيَقْتُلَ الْبَرِيءَ. عَيْنَاهُ تَتَرَصَّدَانِ الْمِسْكِينَ.٨
9 He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net.
يَكْمُنُ فِي الْخَفَاءِ، كَأَسَدٍ فِي عَرِينِهِ لِيَخْطَفَ الْمِسْكِينَ وَيَجُرَّهُ فِي شَبَكَتِهِ.٩
10 He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.
يَسْحَقُ الْمَسَاكِينَ وَيَدُوسُهُمْ حِينَ يَسْقُطُونَ بَيْنَ مَخَالِبِهِ الْقَوِيَّةِ.١٠
11 He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it.
يَقُولُ فِي قَلْبِهِ: اللهُ غَافِلٌ. قَدْ حَجَبَ وَجْهَهُ، وَلَنْ يَرَى مَا يَجْرِي١١
12 Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thy hand: forget not the humble.
قُمْ يَارَبُّ، ارْفَعْ يَدَكَ يَااللهُ، لاَ تَنْسَ الْمَسَاكِينَ.١٢
13 Why doth the wicked despise God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it.
لِمَاذَا يَسْتَهِينُ الشِّرِّيرُ بِاللهِ قَائِلاً فِي قَلْبِهِ: إِنَّكَ لاَ تُحَاسِبُهُ؟١٣
14 Thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to repay it with thy hand: the poor committeth himself to thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless.
وَلَكِنَّكَ قَدْ رَأَيْتَ. عَايَنْتَ مَا أَصَابَ الْمَسَاكِينَ مِنَ الْمَشَقَّةِ وَالْغَمِّ، فَتُجَازِي الشِّرِّيرَ بِيَدِكَ. يُسَلِّمُ إِلَيْكَ الْمِسْكِينُ أَمْرَهُ، فَأَنْتَ دَائِماً مُعِينُ الْيَتِيمِ.١٤
15 Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till thou shalt find none.
حَطِّمْ ذِرَاعَ الشِّرِّيرِ وَالْفَاجِرِ. حَاسِبْهُ عَلَى شَرِّهِ، حَتَّى لاَ تَجِدَهُ.١٥
16 The LORD is King for ever and ever: the heathen have perished out of his land.
الرَّبُّ مَلِكٌ إِلَى أَبَدِ الدُّهُورِ، قَدْ بَادَتْ مِنْ أَرْضِهِ الأُمَمُ (الَّتِي تَعْبُدُ آلِهَةً سِوَاهُ)١٦
17 LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thy ear to hear:
أَنْتَ يَارَبُّ تَسْتَجِيبُ طِلْبَةَ الْوُدَعَاءِ، تُشَدِّدُ قُلُوبَهُمْ إِذْ تُصْغِي (إِلَى تَأَوُّهَاتِهِمْ).١٧
18 To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.
تُنْصِفُ الْيَتِيمَ وَالْمَقْهُورَ، فَلاَ يَعُودُ إِنْسَانٌ فِي الأَرْضِ يُرْعِبُهُمْ.١٨
