اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 102

١ 1 صَلَاةٌ لِمِسْكِينٍ إِذَا أَعْيَا وَسَكَبَ شَكْوَاهُ قُدَّامَ ٱللهِ يَارَبُّ، ٱسْتَمِعْ صَلَاتِي، وَلْيَدْخُلْ إِلَيْكَ صُرَاخِي.

A Prayer for the Humbled One when he is about to faint, and, before Yahweh, poureth out his grief. O Yahweh, hear thou my prayer, and let, my cry for help, unto thee, enter in.

٢ 2 لَا تَحْجُبْ وَجْهَكَ عَنِّي فِي يَوْمِ ضِيقِي. أَمِلْ إِلَيَّ أُذُنَكَ فِي يَوْمِ أَدْعُوكَ. ٱسْتَجِبْ لِي سَرِيعًا.

Do not hide thy face from me, In the day when I am in distress, —Bend down unto me thine ear, In the day when I call, speedily answer me.

٣ 3 لِأَنَّ أَيَّامِي قَدْ فَنِيَتْ فِي دُخَانٍ، وَعِظَامِي مِثْلُ وَقِيدٍ قَدْ يَبِسَتْ.

For, consumed in smoke, are my days, And, my bones, like a burning mass, are scorched through;

٤ 4 مَلْفُوحٌ كَٱلْعُشْبِ وَيَابِسٌ قَلْبِي، حَتَّى سَهَوْتُ عَنْ أَكْلِ خُبْزِي.

Smitten like herbage, so is my heart dried up, For I have forgotten to eat my food.

٥ 5 مِنْ صَوْتِ تَنَهُّدِي لَصِقَ عَظْمِي بِلَحْمِي.

At the noise of my groaning, my bone, hath cleaved, to my flesh:

٦ 6 أَشْبَهْتُ قُوقَ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ. صِرْتُ مِثْلَ بُومَةِ ٱلْخِرَبِ.

I am like the pelican of the desert, I have become as an owl among ruins.

٧ 7 سَهِدْتُ وَصِرْتُ كَعُصْفُورٍ مُنْفَرِدٍ عَلَى ٱلسَّطْحِ.

I have watched and am become, Like a bird sitting alone upon a housetop.

٨ 8 ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ عَيَّرَنِي أَعْدَائِيَ. ٱلْحَنِقُونَ عَلَيَّ حَلَفُوا عَلَيَّ.

All the day, have mine enemies, reproached me, And, they who are mad against me, by me, have sworn.

٩ 9 إِنِّي قَدْ أَكَلْتُ ٱلرَّمَادَ مِثْلَ ٱلْخُبْزِ، وَمَزَجْتُ شَرَابِي بِدُمُوعٍ،

For, ashes—like bread, have I eaten, And, my drink—with my tears, have I mingled;

١٠ 10 بِسَبَبِ غَضَبِكَ وَسَخَطِكَ، لِأَنَّكَ حَمَلْتَنِي وَطَرَحْتَنِي.

Because of thine indignation and thy wrath, For thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down.

١١ 11 أَيَّامِي كَظِلٍّ مَائِلٍ، وَأَنَا مِثْلُ ٱلْعُشْبِ يَبِسْتُ.

My days, are like a shadow extended, And, I, as green herbage, do wither.

١٢ 12 أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَارَبُّ فَإِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ جَالِسٌ، وَذِكْرُكَ إِلَى دَوْرٍ فَدَوْرٍ.

But, thou, O Yahweh, age-abidingly wilt remain, And the memorial of thee, to generation after generation.

١٣ 13 أَنْتَ تَقُومُ وَتَرْحَمُ صِهْيَوْنَ، لِأَنَّهُ وَقْتُ ٱلرَّأْفَةِ، لِأَنَّهُ جَاءَ ٱلْمِيعَادُ.

Thou, wilt arise, wilt have compassion upon Zion, Surely it is time to favour her, Surely the time appointed, hath come;

١٤ 14 لِأَنَّ عَبِيدَكَ قَدْ سُرُّوا بِحِجَارَتِهَا، وَحَنُّوا إِلَى تُرَابِهَا.

Seeing that thy servants, take pleasure, in her stones, And, her dust, they favour:

١٥ 15 فَتَخْشَى ٱلْأُمَمُ ٱسْمَ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَكُلُّ مُلُوكِ ٱلْأَرْضِ مَجْدَكَ.

That the nations may revere thy Name, O Yahweh, And all the kings of the earth, thy glory.

١٦ 16 إِذَا بَنَى ٱلرَّبُّ صِهْيَوْنَ يُرَى بِمَجْدِهِ.

When Yahweh, hath built up, Zion, Hath appeared in his glory;

١٧ 17 ٱلْتَفَتَ إِلَى صَلَاةِ ٱلْمُضْطَرِّ، وَلَمْ يَرْذُلْ دُعَاءَهُمْ.

Hath turned towards the prayer of the destitute, And not despised their prayer,

١٨ 18 يُكْتَبُ هَذَا لِلدَّوْرِ ٱلْآخِرِ، وشَعْبٌ سَوْفَ يُخْلَقُ يُسَبِّحُ ٱلرَّبَّ:

This, shall be written, for a later generation, And, a people to be created, will give praise unto Yah: —

١٩ 19 «لِأَنَّهُ أَشْرَفَ مِنْ عُلْوِ قُدْسِهِ. ٱلرَّبُّ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ نَظَرَ،

That he looked down, out of his holy height, Yahweh, from the heavens unto the earth, directed his gaze; —

٢٠ 20 لِيَسْمَعَ أَنِينَ ٱلْأَسِيرِ، لِيُطْلِقَ بَنِي ٱلْمَوْتِ».

To hear the groaning of the prisoner, To set free, them who were appointed to death.

٢١ 21 لِكَيْ يُحَدَّثَ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَبِتَسْبِيحِهِ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ،

To the end the Name of Yahweh, might be celebrated in Zion, And his praise in Jerusalem:

٢٢ 22 عِنْدَ ٱجْتِمَاعِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ مَعًا وَٱلْمَمَالِكِ لِعِبَادَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ.

When the peoples, gather themselves together, And the kingdoms, to serve Yahweh.

٢٣ 23 ضَعَّفَ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ قُوَّتِي، قَصَّرَ أَيَّامِي.

He hath prostrated, in the way, my strength, —He hath shortened my days.

٢٤ 24 أَقُولُ: «يَا إِلَهِي، لَا تَقْبِضْنِي فِي نِصْفِ أَيَّامِي. إِلَى دَهْرِ ٱلدُّهُورِ سِنُوكَ.

I said, O my GOD, do not remove me in the midst of my days, Throughout the generation of generations, are thy years;

٢٥ 25 مِنْ قِدَمٍ أَسَّسْتَ ٱلْأَرْضَ، وَٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ هِيَ عَمَلُ يَدَيْكَ.

Of old—the earth, thou didst found, And, the work of thy hands, are the heavens;

٢٦ 26 هِيَ تَبِيدُ وَأَنْتَ تَبْقَى، وَكُلُّهَا كَثَوْبٍ تَبْلَى، كَرِدَاءٍ تُغَيِّرُهُنَّ فَتَتَغَيَّرُ.

They, shall perish, But, thou, wilt abide; And, they all, like a garment, shall fall in pieces, As a vesture, wilt thou change them and they shall vanish;

٢٧ 27 وَأَنْتَ هُوَ وَسِنُوكَ لَنْ تَنْتَهِيَ.

But, thou, art, the same, —And, thy years, shall have no end:

٢٨ 28 أَبْنَاءُ عَبِيدِكَ يَسْكُنُونَ، وَذُرِّيَّتُهُمْ تُثَبَّتُ أَمَامَكَ».

The children of thy servants, shall continue, —And, their seed, before thee, be established.
