< Psalms 50 >

1 A Psalm by Asaph. The Mighty One, God, Yahweh, speaks, and calls the earth from sunrise to sunset.
مَزْمُورٌ لآسَافَ الرَّبُّ الإِلَهُ الْقَدِيرُ تَكَلَّمَ، وَدَعَا الأَرْضَ لِلْمُحَاكَمَةِ مِنْ مَشْرِقِ الشَّمْسِ إِلَى مَغْرِبِهَا.١
2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shines out.
مِنْ صِهْيَوْنَ الْكَامِلَةِ الْجَمَالِ أَشْرَقَ مَجْدُ اللهِ.٢
3 Our God comes, and does not keep silent. A fire devours before him. It is very stormy around him.
يَأْتِي إِلَهُنَا وَلَا يَصْمُتُ، تُحِيطُ بِهِ النَّارُ الآكِلَةُ وَالْعَوَاصِفُ الثَّائِرَةُ.٣
4 He calls to the heavens above, to the earth, that he may judge his people:
يُنَادِي السَّمَاوَاتِ مِنَ الْعُلَى، وَالأَرْضَ أَيْضاً مِنْ تَحْتُ لِكَيْ يَدِينَ شَعْبَهُ، قَائِلاً:٤
5 “Gather my saints together to me, those who have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.”
«اجْمَعُوا إِلَيَّ أَتْقِيَائِي الَّذِينَ قَطَعُوا مَعِي عَهْداً عَلَى ذَبِيحَةٍ».٥
6 The heavens shall declare his righteousness, for God himself is judge. (Selah)
فَتُذِيعُ السَّمَاوَاتُ عَدْلَهُ لأَنَّ اللهَ هُوَ الدَّيَّانُ.٦
7 “Hear, my people, and I will speak. Israel, I will testify against you. I am God, your God.
اسْمَعْ يَا شَعْبِي فَأَتَكَلَّمَ. يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ إِنِّي أَشْهَدُ عَلَيْكَ: «أَنَا اللهُ إِلَهُكَ.٧
8 I don’t rebuke you for your sacrifices. Your burnt offerings are continually before me.
لَسْتُ أُوَبِّخُكَ عَلَى ذَبَائِحِكَ فَإِنَّ مُحْرَقَاتِكَ هِيَ دَائِماً قُدَّامِي.٨
9 I have no need for a bull from your stall, nor male goats from your pens.
فَمَا كُنْتُ لِآخُذَ مِنْ بَيْتِكَ ثَوْراً وَلَا مِنْ حَظَائِرِكَ تَيْساً.٩
10 For every animal of the forest is mine, and the livestock on a thousand hills.
لأَنَّ جَمِيعَ حَيَوَانَاتِ الْغَابَةِ مِلْكِي، وَكَذَلِكَ الْبَهَائِمَ الْمُنْتَشِرَةَ عَلَى أُلُوفِ الْجِبَالِ.١٠
11 I know all the birds of the mountains. The wild animals of the field are mine.
أَنَا عَالِمٌ بِجَمِيعِ طُيُورِ الْجِبَالِ، وَكُلُّ مَخْلُوقَاتِ الْبَرَارِي هِيَ لِي.١١
12 If I were hungry, I would not tell you, for the world is mine, and all that is in it.
إِنْ جُعْتُ لَا أَلْتَمِسُ مِنْكَ حَاجَتِي لأَنَّ لِيَ الْمَسْكُونَةَ وَكُلَّ مَا فِيهَا.١٢
13 Will I eat the meat of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
هَلْ آكُلُ لَحْمَ الثِّيرَانِ، أَوْ أَشْرَبُ دَمَ التُّيُوسِ؟١٣
14 Offer to God the sacrifice of thanksgiving. Pay your vows to the Most High.
قَدِّمْ لِلهِ ذَبَائِحَ الْحَمْدِ وَأَوْفِ الْعَلِيَّ عُهُودَكَ.١٤
15 Call on me in the day of trouble. I will deliver you, and you will honor me.”
ادْعُنِي فِي يَوْمِ ضِيقِكَ أُنْقِذْكَ فَتُمَجِّدَنِي».١٥
16 But to the wicked God says, “What right do you have to declare my statutes, that you have taken my covenant on your lips,
وَقَالَ اللهُ لِلشِّرِّيرِ: «بِأَيِّ حَقٍّ تُحَدِّثُ بِأَحْكَامِي، وَلِمَاذَا تَتَكَلَّمُ عَنْ عَهْدِي،١٦
17 since you hate instruction, and throw my words behind you?
وَأَنْتَ تَمْقُتُ التَّأْدِيبَ وَلَا تَكْتَرِثُ لِكَلامِي؟١٧
18 When you saw a thief, you consented with him, and have participated with adulterers.
تَرَى سَارِقاً فَتُوَافِقُهُ، وَمَعَ الزُّنَاةِ نَصِيبُكَ.١٨
19 “You give your mouth to evil. Your tongue frames deceit.
أَطْلَقْتَ فَمَكَ بِالشَّرِّ وَلِسَانُكَ يَخْتَرِعُ غِشّاً.١٩
20 You sit and speak against your brother. You slander your own mother’s son.
تَجْلِسُ تُشَهِّرُ بِأَخِيكَ، وَعَلَى ابْنِ أُمِّكَ تَفْتَرِي.٢٠
21 You have done these things, and I kept silent. You thought that I was just like you. I will rebuke you, and accuse you in front of your eyes.
هَذِهِ كُلَّهَا فَعَلْتَ وَأَنَا سَكَتُّ، فَظَنَنْتَ أَنِّي مِثْلُكَ. غَيْرَ أَنِّي أُوَبِّخُكَ وَأَصُفُّ إِثْمَكَ أَمَامَ عَيْنَيْكَ.٢١
22 “Now consider this, you who forget God, lest I tear you into pieces, and there be no one to deliver.
وَالآنَ تَنَبَّهُوا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُونَ اللهَ، لِئَلّا أُمَزِّقَكُمْ وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يُنْقِذُكُمْ.٢٢
23 Whoever offers the sacrifice of thanksgiving glorifies me, and prepares his way so that I will show God’s salvation to him.”
أَمَّا مَنْ يُقَدِّمُ لِي ذَبِيحَةَ حَمْدٍ فَهُوَ يُمَجِّدُنِي، وَمَنْ يُقَوِّمُ طَرِيقَهُ أُرِيهِ خَلاصَ اللهِ».٢٣
