اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 22

١ 1 لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ عَلَى «أَيِّلَةِ ٱلصُّبْحِ». مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ إِلَهِي، إِلَهِي، لِمَاذَا تَرَكْتَنِي، بَعِيدًا عَنْ خَلَاصِي، عَنْ كَلَامِ زَفِيرِي؟

To the chief music-maker on Aijeleth-hash-shahar. A Psalm. Of David. My God, my God, why are you turned away from me? why are you so far from helping me, and from the words of my crying?

٢ 2 إِلَهِي، فِي ٱلنَّهَارِ أَدْعُو فَلَا تَسْتَجِيبُ، فِي ٱللَّيْلِ أَدْعُو فَلَا هُدُوَّ لِي.

O my God, I make my cry in the day, and you give no answer; and in the night, and have no rest.

٣ 3 وَأَنْتَ ٱلْقُدُّوسُ ٱلْجَالِسُ بَيْنَ تَسْبِيحَاتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

But you are holy, O you who are seated among the praises of Israel.

٤ 4 عَلَيْكَ ٱتَّكَلَ آبَاؤُنَا. ٱتَّكَلُوا فَنَجَّيْتَهُمْ.

Our fathers had faith in you: they had faith and you were their saviour.

٥ 5 إِلَيْكَ صَرَخُوا فَنَجَوْا. عَلَيْكَ ٱتَّكَلُوا فَلَمْ يَخْزَوْا.

They sent up their cry to you and were made free: they put their faith in you and were not put to shame.

٦ 6 أَمَّا أَنَا فَدُودَةٌ لَا إِنْسَانٌ. عَارٌ عِنْدَ ٱلْبَشَرِ وَمُحْتَقَرُ ٱلشَّعْبِ.

But I am a worm and not a man; cursed by men, and looked down on by the people.

٧ 7 كُلُّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَرَوْنَنِي يَسْتَهْزِئُونَ بِي. يَفْغَرُونَ ٱلشِّفَاهَ، وَيُنْغِضُونَ ٱلرَّأْسَ قَائِلِينَ:

I am laughed at by all those who see me: pushing out their lips and shaking their heads they say,

٨ 8 «ٱتَّكَلَ عَلَى ٱلرَّبِّ فَلْيُنَجِّهِ، لِيُنْقِذْهُ لِأَنَّهُ سُرَّ بِهِ».

He put his faith in the Lord; let the Lord be his saviour now: let the Lord be his saviour, because he had delight in him.

٩ 9 لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ جَذَبْتَنِي مِنَ ٱلْبَطْنِ. جَعَلْتَنِي مُطْمَئِنًّا عَلَى ثَدْيَيْ أُمِّي.

But it was you who took care of me from the day of my birth: you gave me faith even from my mother's breasts.

١٠ 10 عَلَيْكَ أُلْقِيتُ مِنَ ٱلرَّحِمِ. مِنْ بَطْنِ أُمِّي أَنْتَ إِلَهِي.

I was in your hands even before my birth; you are my God from the time when I was in my mother's body.

١١ 11 لَا تَتَبَاعَدْ عَنِّي، لِأَنَّ ٱلضِّيقَ قَرِيبٌ، لِأَنَّهُ لَا مُعِينَ.

Be not far from me, for trouble is near; there is no one to give help.

١٢ 12 أَحَاطَتْ بِي ثِيرَانٌ كَثِيرَةٌ. أَقْوِيَاءُ بَاشَانَ ٱكْتَنَفَتْنِي.

A great herd of oxen is round me: I am shut in by the strong oxen of Bashan.

١٣ 13 فَغَرُوا عَلَيَّ أَفْوَاهَهُمْ كَأَسَدٍ مُفْتَرِسٍ مُزَمْجِرٍ.

I saw their mouths wide open, like lions crying after food.

١٤ 14 كَٱلْمَاءِ ٱنْسَكَبْتُ. ٱنْفَصَلَتْ كُلُّ عِظَامِي. صَارَ قَلْبِي كَٱلشَّمْعِ. قَدْ ذَابَ فِي وَسَطِ أَمْعَائِي.

I am flowing away like water, and all my bones are out of place: my heart is like wax, it has become soft in my body.

١٥ 15 يَبِسَتْ مِثْلَ شَقْفَةٍ قُوَّتِي، وَلَصِقَ لِسَانِي بِحَنَكِي، وَإِلَى تُرَابِ ٱلْمَوْتِ تَضَعُنِي.

My throat is dry like a broken vessel; my tongue is fixed to the roof of my mouth, and the dust of death is on my lips.

١٦ 16 لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ أَحَاطَتْ بِي كِلَابٌ. جَمَاعَةٌ مِنَ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ ٱكْتَنَفَتْنِي. ثَقَبُوا يَدَيَّ وَرِجْلَيَّ.

Dogs have come round me: I am shut in by the band of evil-doers; they made wounds in my hands and feet.

١٧ 17 أُحْصِي كُلَّ عِظَامِي، وَهُمْ يَنْظُرُونَ وَيَتَفَرَّسُونَ فِيَّ.

I am able to see all my bones; their looks are fixed on me:

١٨ 18 يَقْسِمُونَ ثِيَابِي بَيْنَهُمْ، وَعَلَى لِبَاسِي يَقْتَرِعُونَ.

They make a division of my robes among them, by the decision of chance they take my clothing.

١٩ 19 أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَارَبُّ، فَلَا تَبْعُدْ. يَا قُوَّتِي، أَسْرِعْ إِلَى نُصْرَتِي.

Do not be far from me, O Lord: O my strength, come quickly to my help.

٢٠ 20 أَنْقِذْ مِنَ ٱلسَّيْفِ نَفْسِي. مِنْ يَدِ ٱلْكَلْبِ وَحِيدَتِي.

Make my soul safe from the sword, my life from the power of the dog.

٢١ 21 خَلِّصْنِي مِنْ فَمِ ٱلْأَسَدِ، وَمِنْ قُرُونِ بَقَرِ ٱلْوَحْشِ ٱسْتَجِبْ لِي.

Be my saviour from the lion's mouth; let me go free from the horns of the cruel oxen.

٢٢ 22 أُخْبِرْ بِٱسْمِكَ إِخْوَتِي. فِي وَسَطِ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ أُسَبِّحُكَ.

I will give the knowledge of your name to my brothers: I will give you praise among the people.

٢٣ 23 يَا خَائِفِي ٱلرَّبِّ سَبِّحُوهُ! مَجِّدُوهُ يَا مَعْشَرَ ذُرِّيَّةِ يَعْقُوبَ، وَٱخْشَوْهُ يَا زَرْعَ إِسْرَائِيلَ جَمِيعًا!

You who have fear of the Lord, give him praise; all you seed of Jacob, give him glory; go in fear of him, all you seed of Israel.

٢٤ 24 لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَحْتَقِرْ وَلَمْ يُرْذِلْ مَسْكَنَةَ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ، وَلَمْ يَحْجُبْ وَجْهَهُ عَنْهُ، بَلْ عِنْدَ صُرَاخِهِ إِلَيْهِ ٱسْتَمَعَ.

For he has not been unmoved by the pain of him who is troubled; or kept his face covered from him; but he has given an answer to his cry.

٢٥ 25 مِنْ قِبَلِكَ تَسْبِيحِي فِي ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ ٱلْعَظِيمَةِ. أُوفِي بِنُذُورِي قُدَّامَ خَائِفِيهِ.

My praise will be of you in the great meeting: I will make my offerings before his worshippers.

٢٦ 26 يَأْكُلُ ٱلْوُدَعَاءُ وَيَشْبَعُونَ. يُسَبِّحُ ٱلرَّبَّ طَالِبُوهُ. تَحْيَا قُلُوبُكُمْ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ.

The poor will have a feast of good things: those who make search for the Lord will give him praise: your heart will have life for ever.

٢٧ 27 تَذْكُرُ وَتَرْجِعُ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ كُلُّ أَقَاصِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. وَتَسْجُدُ قُدَّامَكَ كُلُّ قَبَائِلِ ٱلْأُمَمِ.

All the ends of the earth will keep it in mind and be turned to the Lord: all the families of the nations will give him worship.

٢٨ 28 لِأَنَّ لِلرَّبِّ ٱلْمُلْكَ، وَهُوَ ٱلْمُتَسَلِّطُ عَلَى ٱلْأُمَمِ.

For the kingdom is the Lord's; he is the ruler among the nations.

٢٩ 29 أَكَلَ وَسَجَدَ كُلُّ سَمِينِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. قُدَّامَهُ يَجْثُو كُلُّ مَنْ يَنْحَدِرُ إِلَى ٱلتُّرَابِ وَمَنْ لَمْ يُحْيِ نَفْسَهُ.

All the fat ones of the earth will give him worship; all those who go down to the dust will make themselves low before him, even he who has not enough for the life of his soul.

٣٠ 30 ٱلذُّرِّيَّةُ تَتَعَبَّدُ لَهُ. يُخَبَّرُ عَنِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلْجِيلُ ٱلْآتِي.

A seed will be his servant; the doings of the Lord will be made clear to the generation which comes after.

٣١ 31 يَأْتُونَ وَيُخْبِرُونَ بِبِرهِ شَعْبًا سَيُولَدُ بِأَنَّهُ قَدْ فَعَلَ.

They will come and make his righteousness clear to a people of the future because he has done this.
