اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 38

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

A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance. O LORD, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

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

For thy arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand falleth heavy upon me.

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

[There is] no soundness in my flesh because of thy anger; neither [is there any] rest in my bones because of my sin.

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

For my iniquities have gone over my head: as a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.

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

My wounds are offensive, [and] are corrupt because of my foolishness.

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

I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.

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

For my loins are filled with a lothsome [disease]: and [there is] no soundness in my flesh.

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

I am feeble and grievously broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.

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

LORD, all my desire [is] before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee.

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

My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of my eyes, that also is gone from me.

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

My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my affliction; and my kinsmen stand afar off.

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

They also that seek after my life lay snares [for me]: and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long.

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

But I, as a deaf [man], heard not; and [I was] as a dumb man [that] openeth not his mouth.

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

Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth [are] no reproofs.

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

For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O LORD my God.

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

For I said, [Hear me], lest [otherwise] they should rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify [themselves] against me.

١٧ 17 لِأَنِّي مُوشِكٌ أَنْ أَظْلَعَ، وَوَجَعِي مُقَابِلِي دَائِمًا.

For I [am] ready to halt, and my sorrow [is] continually before me.

١٨ 18 لِأَنَّنِي أُخْبِرُ بِإِثْمِي، وَأَغْتَمُّ مِنْ خَطِيَّتِي.

For I will declare my iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.

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

But my enemies [are] lively, [and] they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.

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

They also that render evil for good are my adversaries; because I follow [the thing that is] good.

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

Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from me.

٢٢ 22 أَسْرِعْ إِلَى مَعُونَتِي يَارَبُّ يَا خَلَاصِي.

Make haste to help me, O LORD my salvation.
