اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 37
| لِدَاوُدَ لَا تَغَرْ مِنَ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ، وَلَا تَحْسِدْ عُمَّالَ ٱلْإِثْمِ، | ١ 1 |
א Don’t fret because of evildoers, neither be envious against those who work unrighteousness.
| فَإِنَّهُمْ مِثْلَ ٱلْحَشِيشِ سَرِيعًا يُقْطَعُونَ، وَمِثْلَ ٱلْعُشْبِ ٱلْأَخْضَرِ يَذْبُلُونَ. | ٢ 2 |
For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither like the green herb.
| ٱتَّكِلْ عَلَى ٱلرَّبِّ وَٱفْعَلِ ٱلْخَيْرَ. ٱسْكُنِ ٱلْأَرْضَ وَٱرْعَ ٱلْأَمَانَةَ. | ٣ 3 |
בּ Trust in Adonai, and do good. Dwell in the land, and enjoy safe pasture.
| وَتَلَذَّذْ بِٱلرَّبِّ فَيُعْطِيَكَ سُؤْلَ قَلْبِكَ. | ٤ 4 |
Also delight yourself in Adonai, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
| سَلِّمْ لِلرَّبِّ طَرِيقَكَ وَٱتَّكِلْ عَلَيْهِ وَهُوَ يُجْرِي، | ٥ 5 |
גּ Commit your way to Adonai. Trust also in him, and he will do this:
| وَيُخْرِجُ مِثْلَ ٱلنُّورِ بِرَّكَ، وَحَقَّكَ مِثْلَ ٱلظَّهِيرَةِ. | ٦ 6 |
he will make your righteousness go out as the light, and your mishpat ·justice· as the noonday sun.
| ٱنْتَظِرِ ٱلرَّبَّ وَٱصْبِرْ لَهُ، وَلَا تَغَرْ مِنَ ٱلَّذِي يَنْجَحُ فِي طَرِيقِهِ، مِنَ ٱلرَّجُلِ ٱلْمُجْرِي مَكَايِدَ. | ٧ 7 |
דּ Rest in Adonai, and wait patiently for him. Don’t fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who makes wicked plots happen.
| كُفَّ عَنِ ٱلْغَضَبِ، وَٱتْرُكِ ٱلسَّخَطَ، وَلَا تَغَرْ لِفِعْلِ ٱلشَّرِّ، | ٨ 8 |
ה Cease from anger, and forsake wrath. Don’t fret, it leads only to evildoing.
| لِأَنَّ عَامِلِي ٱلشَّرِّ يُقْطَعُونَ، وَٱلَّذِينَ يَنْتَظِرُونَ ٱلرَّبَّ هُمْ يَرِثُونَ ٱلْأَرْضَ. | ٩ 9 |
For evildoers shall be cut off, but those who wait for Adonai shall inherit the land.
| بَعْدَ قَلِيلٍلَا يَكُونُ ٱلشِّرِّيرُ تَطَّلِعُ فِي مَكَانِهِ فَلَا يَكُونُ. | ١٠ 10 |
ו For yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more. Yes, though you look for his place, he is not there.
| أَمَّا ٱلْوُدَعَاءُ فَيَرِثُونَ ٱلْأَرْضَ، وَيَتَلَذَّذُونَ فِي كَثْرَةِ ٱلسَّلَامَةِ. | ١١ 11 |
But the humble shall inherit the land, and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
| ٱلشِّرِّيرُ يَتَفَكَّرُ ضِدَّ ٱلصِّدِّيقِ وَيُحَرِّقُ عَلَيْهِ أَسْنَانَهُ. | ١٢ 12 |
ז The wicked plots against the just, and gnashes at him with his teeth.
| ٱلرَّبُّ يَضْحَكُ بِهِ لِأَنَّهُ رَأَى أَنَّ يَوْمَهُ آتٍ! | ١٣ 13 |
'Adonay [Lord] will laugh at him, for he sees that his day is coming.
| ٱلْأَشْرَارُ قَدْ سَلُّوا ٱلسَّيْفَ وَمَدُّوا قَوْسَهُمْ لِرَمْيِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ وَٱلْفَقِيرِ، لِقَتْلِ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمِ طَرِيقُهُمْ. | ١٤ 14 |
ח The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, to kill those who are upright on the path.
| سَيْفُهُمْ يَدْخُلُ فِي قَلْبِهِمْ، وَقِسِيُّهُمْ تَنْكَسِرُ. | ١٥ 15 |
Their sword shall enter into their own heart. Their bows shall be broken.
| اَلْقَلِيلُ ٱلَّذِي لِلصِّدِّيقِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ ثَرْوَةِ أَشْرَارٍ كَثِيرِينَ. | ١٦ 16 |
ט Better is a little that the upright has, than the abundance of many wicked.
| لِأَنَّ سَوَاعِدَ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ تَنْكَسِرُ، وَعَاضِدُ ٱلصِّدِّيقِينَ ٱلرَّبُّ. | ١٧ 17 |
For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, but Adonai upholds the upright.
| ٱلرَّبُّ عَارِفٌ أَيَّامَ ٱلْكَمَلَةِ، وَمِيرَاثُهُمْ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ يَكُونُ. | ١٨ 18 |
י Adonai knows the days of the perfect. Their inheritance shall be forever.
| لَا يُخْزَوْنَ فِي زَمَنِ ٱلسُّوءِ، وَفِي أَيَّامِ ٱلْجُوعِ يَشْبَعُونَ. | ١٩ 19 |
They shall not be disappointed in the time of evil. In the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
| لِأَنَّ ٱلْأَشْرَارَ يَهْلِكُونَ، وَأَعْدَاءُ ٱلرَّبِّ كَبَهَاءِ ٱلْمَرَاعِي. فَنُوا. كَٱلدُّخَانِ فَنُوا. | ٢٠ 20 |
כּ But the wicked shall perish. The enemies of Adonai shall be like the beauty of the fields. They will vanish— vanish like smoke.
| ٱلشِّرِّيرُ يَسْتَقْرِضُ وَلَا يَفِي، أَمَّا ٱلصِّدِّيقُ فَيَتَرَأَّفُ وَيُعْطِي. | ٢١ 21 |
ל The wicked borrow, and don’t pay back, but the upright give generously.
| لِأَنَّ ٱلْمُبَارَكِينَ مِنْهُ يَرِثُونَ ٱلْأَرْضَ، وَٱلْمَلْعُونِينَ مِنْهُ يُقْطَعُونَ. | ٢٢ 22 |
For such as are blessed by him shall inherit the land. Those who are cursed by him shall be cut off.
| مِنْ قِبَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ تَتَثَبَّتُ خَطَوَاتُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ وَفِي طَرِيقِهِ يُسَرُّ. | ٢٣ 23 |
מ A man’s goings are established by Adonai. He delights in his way.
| إِذَا سَقَطَ لَا يَنْطَرِحُ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ مُسْنِدٌ يَدَهُ. | ٢٤ 24 |
Though he stumble, he shall not fall, for Adonai holds him up with his hand.
| أَيْضًا كُنْتُ فَتىً وَقَدْ شِخْتُ، وَلَمْ أَرَ صِدِّيقًا تُخُلِّيَ عَنْهُ، وَلَا ذُرِّيَّةً لَهُ تَلْتَمِسُ خُبْزًا. | ٢٥ 25 |
נ I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the upright forsaken, nor his children begging for bread.
| ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ يَتَرَأَّفُ وَيُقْرِضُ، وَنَسْلُهُ لِلْبَرَكَةِ. | ٢٦ 26 |
All day long he deals graciously, and lends. His offspring is blessed.
| حِدْ عَنِ ٱلشَّرِّ وَٱفْعَلِ ٱلْخَيْرَ، وَٱسْكُنْ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. | ٢٧ 27 |
ס Depart from evil, and do good. Live securely forever.
| لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ يُحِبُّ ٱلْحَقَّ، وَلَا يَتَخَلَّى عَنْ أَتْقِيَائِهِ. إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ يُحْفَظُونَ. أَمَّا نَسْلُ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ فَيَنْقَطِعُ. | ٢٨ 28 |
ע For Adonai 'ahav ·affectionately loves· mishpat ·justice·, and does not forsake his saints. They are preserved forever, but the children of the wicked shall be cut off.
| ٱلصِّدِّيقُونَ يَرِثُونَ ٱلْأَرْضَ وَيَسْكُنُونَهَا إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. | ٢٩ 29 |
The upright shall inherit the land, and live in it forever.
| فَمُ ٱلصِّدِّيقِ يَلْهَجُ بِٱلْحِكْمَةِ، وَلِسَانُهُ يَنْطِقُ بِٱلْحَقِّ. | ٣٠ 30 |
פּ The mouth of the upright talks of wisdom. His tongue speaks mishpat ·justice·.
| شَرِيعَةُ إِلَهِهِ فِي قَلْبِهِ. لَا تَتَقَلْقَلُ خَطَوَاتُهُ. | ٣١ 31 |
The Torah ·Teaching· of his God is in his heart. None of his steps shall slide.
| ٱلشِّرِّيرُ يُرَاقِبُ ٱلصِّدِّيقَ مُحَاوِلًا أَنْ يُمِيتَهُ. | ٣٢ 32 |
צ The wicked watches the upright, and seeks to kill him.
| ٱلرَّبُّ لَا يَتْرُكُهُ فِي يَدِهِ، وَلَا يَحْكُمُ عَلَيْهِ عِنْدَ مُحَاكَمَتِهِ. | ٣٣ 33 |
Adonai will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him as guilty when he is judged.
| ٱنْتَظِرِ ٱلرَّبَّ وَٱحْفَظْ طَرِيقَهُ، فَيَرْفَعَكَ لِتَرِثَ ٱلْأَرْضَ. إِلَى ٱنْقِرَاضِ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ تَنْظُرُ. | ٣٤ 34 |
ק Wait for Adonai, and keep his way, and he will exalt you to inherit the land. When the wicked are cut off, you shall see it.
| قَدْ رَأَيْتُ ٱلشِّرِّيرَ عَاتِيًا، وَارِفًا مِثْلَ شَجَرَةٍ شَارِقَةٍ نَاضِرَةٍ. | ٣٥ 35 |
ר I have seen the wicked in great power, spreading himself like a green tree in its native soil.
| عَبَرَ فَإِذَا هُوَ لَيْسَ بِمَوْجُودٍ، وَٱلْتَمَسْتُهُ فَلَمْ يُوجَدْ. | ٣٦ 36 |
But he passed away, and behold, he was not. Yes, I sought him, but he could not be found.
| لَاحِظِ ٱلْكَامِلَ وَٱنْظُرِ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَ، فَإِنَّ ٱلْعَقِبَ لِإِنْسَانِ ٱلسَّلَامَةِ. | ٣٧ 37 |
שׁ Mark the perfect man, and see the upright, for there is a future for the man of peace.
| أَمَّا ٱلْأَشْرَارُ فَيُبَادُونَ جَمِيعًا. عَقِبُ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ يَنْقَطِعُ. | ٣٨ 38 |
As for the rebellious who break away from authority thus breaking relationship, they shall be destroyed together. The future of the wicked shall be cut off.
| أَمَّا خَلَاصُ ٱلصِّدِّيقِينَ فَمِنْ قِبَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ، حِصْنِهمْ فِي زَمَانِ ٱلضِّيقِ. | ٣٩ 39 |
תּ But the salvation of the upright is from Adonai. He is their stronghold in the time of trouble.
| وَيُعِينُهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ وَيُنَجِّيهِمْ. يُنْقِذُهُمْ مِنَ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ وَيُخَلِّصُهُمْ، لِأَنَّهُمُ ٱحْتَمَوْا بِهِ. | ٤٠ 40 |
Adonai helps them, and rescues them. He rescues them from the wicked, and saves them, Because they have taken refuge in him.
