اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 39

١ 1 لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ. لِيَدُوثُونَ. مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ قُلْتُ: «أَتَحَفَّظُ لِسَبِيلِي مِنَ ٱلْخَطَإِ بِلِسَانِي. أَحْفَظُ لِفَمِي كِمَامَةً فِيمَا ٱلشِّرِّيرُ مُقَابِلِي».

For victorie, to Iditum, the song of Dauid. I seide, Y schal kepe my weies; that Y trespasse not in my tunge. I settide kepyng to my mouth; whanne a synnere stood ayens me.

٢ 2 صَمَتُّ صَمْتًا، سَكَتُّ عَنِ ٱلْخَيْرِ، فَتَحَرَّكَ وَجَعِي.

I was doumb, and was mekid ful gretli, and was stille fro goodis; and my sorewe was renulid.

٣ 3 حَمِيَ قَلْبِي فِي جَوْفِي. عِنْدَ لَهَجِي ٱشْتَعَلَتِ ٱلنَّارُ. تَكَلَّمْتُ بِلِسَانِي:

Myn herte was hoot with ynne me; and fier schal brenne out in my thenkyng.

٤ 4 «عَرِّفْنِي يَارَبُّ نِهَايَتِي وَمِقْدَارَ أَيَّامِي كَمْ هِيَ، فَأَعْلَمَ كَيْفَ أَنَا زَائِلٌ.

I spak in my tunge; Lord, make thou myn eende knowun to me. And the noumbre of my daies what it is; that Y wite, what failith to me.

٥ 5 هُوَذَا جَعَلْتَ أَيَّامِي أَشْبَارًا، وَعُمْرِي كَلَا شَيْءَ قُدَّامَكَ. إِنَّمَا نَفْخَةً كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ قَدْ جُعِلَ. سِلَاهْ.

Lo! thou hast set my daies mesurable; and my substaunce is as nouyt bifor thee. Netheles al vanytee; ech man lyuynge.

٦ 6 إِنَّمَا كَخَيَالٍ يَتَمَشَّى ٱلْإِنْسَانُ. إِنَّمَا بَاطِلًا يَضِجُّونَ. يَذْخَرُ ذَخَائِرَ وَلَا يَدْرِي مَنْ يَضُمُّهَا.

Netheles a man passith in ymage; but also he is disturblid veynli. He tresorith; and he noot, to whom he `schal gadere tho thingis.

٧ 7 «وَٱلْآنَ، مَاذَا ٱنْتَظَرْتُ يَارَبُّ؟ رَجَائِي فِيكَ هُوَ.

And now which is myn abiding? whether not the Lord? and my substaunce is at thee.

٨ 8 مِنْ كُلِّ مَعَاصِيَّ نَجِّنِي. لَا تَجْعَلْنِي عَارًا عِنْدَ ٱلْجَاهِلِ.

Delyuere thou me fro alle my wickidnessis; thou hast youe me schenschip to the vnkunnynge.

٩ 9 صَمَتُّ. لَا أَفْتَحُ فَمِي، لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ فَعَلْتَ.

I was doumbe, and openyde not my mouth; for thou hast maad,

١٠ 10 ٱرْفَعْ عَنِّي ضَرْبَكَ. مِنْ مُهَاجَمَةِ يَدِكَ أَنَا قَدْ فَنِيتُ.

remoue thou thi woundis fro me.

١١ 11 بِتَأْدِيبَاتٍ إِنْ أَدَّبْتَ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ مِنْ أَجْلِ إِثْمِهِ، أَفْنَيْتَ مِثْلَ ٱلْعُثِّ مُشْتَهَاهُ. إِنَّمَا كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ نَفْخَةٌ. سِلَاهْ.

Fro the strengthe of thin hond Y failide in blamyngis; for wickidnesse thou hast chastisid man. And thou madist his lijf to faile as an yreyne; netheles ech man is disturblid in veyn.

١٢ 12 اِسْتَمِعْ صَلَاتِي يَارَبُّ، وَٱصْغَ إِلَى صُرَاخِي. لَا تَسْكُتْ عَنْ دُمُوعِي. لِأَنِّي أَنَا غَرِيبٌ عِنْدَكَ. نَزِيلٌ مِثْلُ جَمِيعِ آبَائِي.

Lord, here thou my preier and my bisechyng; perseyue thou with eeris my teeris.

١٣ 13 ٱقْتَصِرْ عَنِّي فَأَتَبَلَّجَ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَذْهَبَ فَلَا أُوجَدَ».

Be thou not stille, for Y am a comelyng at thee; and a pilgrime, as alle my fadris. Foryyue thou to me, that Y be refreischid, bifor that Y go; and Y schal no more be.
