اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 38

١ 1 مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ لِلتَّذْكِيرِ يَارَبُّ، لَا تُوَبِّخْنِي بِسَخَطِكَ، وَلَا تُؤَدِّبْنِي بِغَيْظِكَ،

A Psalm. Of David. To keep in memory. O Lord, be not bitter with me in your wrath; let not your hand be on me in the heat of your passion.

٢ 2 لِأَنَّ سِهَامَكَ قَدِ ٱنْتَشَبَتْ فِيَّ، وَنَزَلَتْ عَلَيَّ يَدُكَ.

For your arrows have gone into my flesh, and I am crushed under the weight of your hand.

٣ 3 لَيْسَتْ فِي جَسَدِي صِحَّةٌ مِنْ جِهَةِ غَضَبِكَ. لَيْسَتْ فِي عِظَامِي سَلَامَةٌ مِنْ جِهَةِ خَطِيَّتِي.

My flesh is wasted because of your wrath; and there is no peace in my bones because of my sin.

٤ 4 لِأَنَّ آثَامِي قَدْ طَمَتْ فَوْقَ رَأْسِي. كَحِمْلٍ ثَقِيلٍ أَثْقَلَ مِمَّا أَحْتَمِلُ.

For my crimes have gone over my head; they are like a great weight which is more than my strength.

٥ 5 قَدْ أَنْتَنَتْ، قَاحَتْ حُبُرُ ضَرْبِي مِنْ جِهَةِ حَمَاقَتِي.

My wounds are poisoned and evil-smelling, because of my foolish behaviour.

٦ 6 لَوِيتُ. ٱنْحَنَيْتُ إِلَى ٱلْغَايَةِ. ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ ذَهَبْتُ حَزِينًا.

I am troubled, I am made low; I go weeping all the day.

٧ 7 لِأَنَّ خَاصِرَتَيَّ قَدِ ٱمْتَلَأَتَا ٱحْتِرَاقًا، وَلَيْسَتْ فِي جَسَدِي صِحَّةٌ.

For my body is full of burning; all my flesh is unhealthy.

٨ 8 خَدِرْتُ وَٱنْسَحَقْتُ إِلَى ٱلْغَايَةِ. كُنْتُ أَئِنُّ مِنْ زَفِيرِ قَلْبِي.

I am feeble and crushed down; I gave a cry like a lion because of the grief in my heart.

٩ 9 يَارَبُّ، أَمَامَكَ كُلُّ تَأَوُّهِي، وَتَنَهُّدِي لَيْسَ بِمَسْتُورٍ عَنْكَ.

Lord, all my desire is before you; my sorrow is not kept secret from you.

١٠ 10 قَلْبِي خَافِقٌ. قُوَّتِي فَارَقَتْنِي، وَنُورُ عَيْنِي أَيْضًا لَيْسَ مَعِي.

My heart goes out in pain, my strength is wasting away; as for the light of my eyes, it is gone from me.

١١ 11 أَحِبَّائِي وَأَصْحَابِي يَقِفُونَ تُجَاهَ ضَرْبَتِي، وَأَقَارِبِي وَقَفُوا بَعِيدًا.

My lovers and my friends keep away from my disease; my relations keep far away.

١٢ 12 وَطَالِبُو نَفْسِي نَصَبُوا شَرَكًا، وَٱلْمُلْتَمِسُونَ لِيَ ٱلشَّرَّ تَكَلَّمُوا بِٱلْمَفَاسِدِ، وَٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ يَلْهَجُونَ بِٱلْغِشِّ.

Those who have a desire to take my life put nets for me; those who are designing my destruction say evil things against me, all the day their minds are full of deceit.

١٣ 13 وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَكَأَصَمَّ لَا أَسْمَعُ. وَكَأَبْكَمَ لَا يَفْتَحُ فَاهُ.

But I kept my ears shut like a man without hearing; like a man without a voice, never opening his mouth.

١٤ 14 وَأَكُونُ مِثْلَ إِنْسَانٍلَا يَسْمَعُ، وَلَيْسَ فِي فَمِهِ حُجَّةٌ.

So I was like a man whose ears are shut, and in whose mouth there are no sharp words.

١٥ 15 لِأَنِّي لَكَ يَارَبُّ صَبَرْتُ، أَنْتَ تَسْتَجِيبُ يَارَبُّ إِلَهِي.

In you, O Lord, is my hope: you will give me an answer, O Lord, my God.

١٦ 16 لِأَنِّي قُلْتُ: «لِئَلَّا يَشْمَتُوا بِي». عِنْدَمَا زَلَّتْ قَدَمِي تَعَظَّمُوا عَلَيَّ.

I said, Let them not be glad over me; when my foot is moved, let them not be lifted up with pride against me.

١٧ 17 لِأَنِّي مُوشِكٌ أَنْ أَظْلَعَ، وَوَجَعِي مُقَابِلِي دَائِمًا.

My feet are near to falling, and my sorrow is ever before me.

١٨ 18 لِأَنَّنِي أُخْبِرُ بِإِثْمِي، وَأَغْتَمُّ مِنْ خَطِيَّتِي.

I will make clear my wrongdoing, with sorrow in my heart for my sin.

١٩ 19 وَأَمَّا أَعْدَائِي فَأَحْيَاءٌ. عَظُمُوا. وَٱلَّذِينَ يُبْغِضُونَنِي ظُلْمًا كَثُرُوا.

But they are strong who have hate for me without cause: those who are against me falsely are increased in numbers.

٢٠ 20 وَٱلْمُجَازُونَ عَنِ ٱلْخَيْرِ بِشَرٍّ، يُقَاوِمُونَنِي لِأَجْلِ ٱتِّبَاعِي ٱلصَّلَاحَ.

They give me back evil for good; they are my haters because I go after the thing which is right.

٢١ 21 لَا تَتْرُكْنِي يَارَبُّ. يَاإِلَهِي، لَا تَبْعُدْ عَنِّي.

Do not give me up, O Lord; O my God, be near to me.

٢٢ 22 أَسْرِعْ إِلَى مَعُونَتِي يَارَبُّ يَا خَلَاصِي.

Come quickly to give me help, O Lord, my salvation.
