< اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 10 >
يَارَبُّ، لِمَاذَا تَقِفُ بَعِيدًا؟ لِمَاذَا تَخْتَفِي فِي أَزْمِنَةِ ٱلضِّيقِ؟ | ١ 1 |
Why standest thou afar off, O Lord? [why] dost thou overlook [us] in times of need, in affliction?
فِي كِبْرِيَاءِ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ يَحْتَرِقُ ٱلْمِسْكِينُ. يُؤْخَذُونَ بِٱلْمُؤَامَرَةِ ٱلَّتِي فَكَّرُوا بِهَا. | ٢ 2 |
While the ungodly one acts proudly, the poor is hotly pursued: [the wicked] are taken in the crafty counsels which they imagine.
لِأَنَّ ٱلشِّرِّيرَ يَفْتَخِرُ بِشَهَوَاتِ نَفْسِهِ، وَٱلْخَاطِفُ يُجَدِّفُ. يُهِينُ ٱلرَّبَّ. | ٣ 3 |
Because the sinner praises himself for the desires of his heart; and the unjust one blesses himself.
ٱلشِّرِّيرُ حَسَبَ تَشَامُخِ أَنْفِهِ يَقُولُ: «لَا يُطَالِبُ». كُلُّ أَفْكَارِهِ أَنَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ. | ٤ 4 |
The sinner has provoked the Lord: according to the abundance of his pride he will not seek after [him]: God is not before him.
تَثْبُتُ سُبْلُهُ فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ. عَالِيَةٌ أَحْكَامُكَ فَوْقَهُ. كُلُّ أَعْدَائِهِ يَنْفُثُ فِيهِمْ. | ٥ 5 |
His ways are profane at all times; thy judgments are removed from before him: he will gain the mastery over all his enemies.
قَالَ فِي قَلْبِهِ: «لَا أَتَزَعْزَعُ. مِنْ دَوْرٍ إِلَى دَوْرٍ بِلَا سُوءٍ». | ٦ 6 |
For he has said in his heart, I shall not be moved, [continuing] without evil from generation to generation.
فَمُهُ مَمْلُوءٌ لَعْنَةً وَغِشًّا وَظُلْمًا. تَحْتَ لِسَانِهِ مَشَقَّةٌ وَإِثْمٌ. | ٧ 7 |
Whose mouth is full of cursing, and bitterness, and fraud: under his tongue are trouble and pain.
يَجْلِسُ فِي مَكْمَنِ ٱلدِّيَارِ، فِي ٱلْمُخْتَفَيَاتِ يَقْتُلُ ٱلْبَرِيَّ. عَيْنَاهُ تُرَاقِبَانِ ٱلْمِسْكِينَ. | ٨ 8 |
He lies in wait with rich [men] in secret places, in order to slay the innocent: his eyes are set against the poor.
يَكْمُنُ فِي ٱلْمُخْتَفَى كَأَسَدٍ فِي عِرِّيسِهِ. يَكْمُنُ لِيَخْطَفَ ٱلْمِسْكِينَ. يَخْطَفُ ٱلْمِسْكِينَ بِجَذْبِهِ فِي شَبَكَتِهِ، | ٩ 9 |
He lies in wait in secret as a lion in his den: he lies in wait to ravish the poor, to ravish the poor when he draws him [after him]: he will bring him down in his snare.
فَتَنْسَحِقُ وَتَنْحَنِي وَتَسْقُطُ ٱلْمَسَاكِينُ بِبَرَاثِنِهِ. | ١٠ 10 |
He will bow down and fall when he has mastered the poor.
قَالَ فِي قَلْبِهِ: «إِنَّ ٱللهَ قَدْ نَسِيَ. حَجَبَ وَجْهَهُ. لَا يَرَى إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ». | ١١ 11 |
For he has said in his heart, God has forgotten: he has turned away his face so as never to look.
قُمْ يَارَبُّ. يَا ٱللهُ ٱرْفَعْ يَدَكَ. لَا تَنْسَ ٱلْمَسَاكِينَ. | ١٢ 12 |
Arise, O Lord God; let thy hand be lifted up: forget not the poor.
لِمَاذَا أَهَانَ ٱلشِّرِّيرُ ٱللهَ؟ لِمَاذَا قَالَ فِي قَلْبِهِ: «لَا تُطَالِبُ»؟ | ١٣ 13 |
Wherefore, has the wicked provoked God? for he has said in his heart, He will not require [it].
قَدْ رَأَيْتَ. لِأَنَّكَ تُبْصِرُ ٱلْمَشَقَّةَ وَٱلْغَمَّ لِتُجَازِيَ بِيَدِكَ. إِلَيْكَ يُسَلِّمُ ٱلْمِسْكِينُ أَمْرَهُ. أَنْتَ صِرْتَ مُعِينَ ٱلْيَتِيمِ. | ١٤ 14 |
Thou seest [it]; for thou dost observe trouble and wrath, to deliver them into thy hands: the poor has been left to thee; thou wast a helper to the orphan.
اِحْطِمْ ذِرَاعَ ٱلْفَاجِرِ. وَٱلشِّرِّيرُ تَطْلُبُ شَرَّهُ وَلَا تَجِدُهُ. | ١٥ 15 |
Break thou the arm of the sinner and wicked man: his sin shall be sought for, and shall not be found.
ٱلرَّبُّ مَلِكٌ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ وَٱلْأَبَدِ. بَادَتِ ٱلْأُمَمُ مِنْ أَرْضِهِ. | ١٦ 16 |
The Lord shall reign for ever, even for ever and ever: ye Gentiles shall perish out his land.
تَأَوُّهَ ٱلْوُدَعَاءِ قَدْ سَمِعْتَ يَارَبُّ. تُثَبِّتُ قُلُوبَهُمْ. تُمِيلُ أُذُنَكَ | ١٧ 17 |
The Lord has heard the desire of the poor: thine ear has inclined to the preparation of their heart;
لِحَقِّ ٱلْيَتِيمِ وَٱلْمُنْسَحِقِ، لِكَيْ لَا يَعُودَ أَيْضًا يَرْعَبُهُمْ إِنْسَانٌ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ١٨ 18 |
to plead for the orphan and afflicted, that man may no more boast upon the earth.
