اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 38

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

A PSALM OF DAVID. “TO CAUSE TO REMEMBER.” YHWH, do not reprove me in Your wrath, Nor discipline me in Your fury.

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

For Your arrows have come down on me, And You let down Your hand on me.

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

Soundness is not in my flesh, Because of Your indignation, Peace is not in my bones, Because of my sin.

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

For my iniquities have passed over my head, As a heavy burden—too heavy for me.

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

Stunk—my wounds have become corrupt, Because of my folly.

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

I have been bent down, I have been bowed down—to excess, I have gone mourning all the day.

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

For my flanks have been full of drought, And soundness is not in my flesh.

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

I have been feeble and struck—to excess, I have roared from disquietude of heart.

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

Lord, all my desire [is] before You, And my sighing has not been hid from You.

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

My heart [is] panting, my power has forsaken me, And the light of my eyes, Even they are not with me.

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

My lovers and my friends stand aloof from before my plague. And my neighbors have stood far off.

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

And those seeking my soul lay a snare, And those seeking my evil Have spoken mischievous things, And they meditate [on] deceits all the day.

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

And I, as deaf, do not hear. And as a mute one who does not open his mouth.

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

Indeed, I am as a man who does not hear, And in his mouth are no reproofs.

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

Because for You, O YHWH, I have waited, You answer, O Lord my God.

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

When I said, “Lest they rejoice over me, In the slipping of my foot they magnified themselves against me.”

١٧ 17 لِأَنِّي مُوشِكٌ أَنْ أَظْلَعَ، وَوَجَعِي مُقَابِلِي دَائِمًا.

For I am ready to halt, And my pain [is] continually before me.

١٨ 18 لِأَنَّنِي أُخْبِرُ بِإِثْمِي، وَأَغْتَمُّ مِنْ خَطِيَّتِي.

For I declare my iniquity, I am sorry for my sin.

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

And my enemies [are] lively, They have been strong, and those hating me without cause, Have been multiplied.

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

And those paying evil for good accuse me, Because of my pursuing good.

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

Do not forsake me, O YHWH, My God, do not be far from me,

٢٢ 22 أَسْرِعْ إِلَى مَعُونَتِي يَارَبُّ يَا خَلَاصِي.

Hurry to help me, O Lord, my salvation!
