اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 50

١ 1 مَزْمُورٌ لِآسَافَ إِلَهُ ٱلْآلِهَةِ ٱلرَّبُّ تَكَلَّمَ، وَدَعَا ٱلْأَرْضَ مِنْ مَشْرِقِ ٱلشَّمْسِ إِلَى مَغْرِبِهَا.

A psalm of Asaph. The Lord God has spoken: He summons the earth from sunrise to sunset.

٢ 2 مِنْ صِهْيَوْنَ، كَمَالِ ٱلْجَمَالِ، ٱللهُ أَشْرَقَ.

From Zion, perfection of beauty, God’s glory shines forth.

٣ 3 يَأْتِي إِلَهُنَا وَلَا يَصْمُتُ. نَارٌ قُدَّامَهُ تَأْكُلُ، وَحَوْلَهُ عَاصِفٌ جِدًّا.

Our God comes, he cannot keep silence, devouring fire is before him, and furious tempest around him.

٤ 4 يَدْعُو ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ مِنْ فَوْقُ، وَٱلْأَرْضَ إِلَى مُدَايَنَةِ شَعْبِهِ:

He summons the heavens above and the earth to judge his people.

٥ 5 «ٱجْمَعُوا إِلَيَّ أَتْقِيَائِي، ٱلْقَاطِعِينَ عَهْدِي عَلَى ذَبِيحَةٍ».

Gather to him his saints by covenant-sacrifice bound to him;

٦ 6 وَتُخْبِرُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ بِعَدْلِهِ، لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ هُوَ ٱلدَّيَّانُ. سِلَاهْ.

that the heavens may declare his justice, for a God of justice is he. (Selah)

٧ 7 «اِسْمَعْ يَا شَعْبِي فَأَتَكَلَّمَ. يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ فَأَشْهَدَ عَلَيْكَ: ٱللهُ إِلَهُكَ أَنَا.

‘Hear, O my people, and I will speak, and protest to you, O Israel: I am the Lord, your God.

٨ 8 لَا عَلَى ذَبَائِحِكَ أُوَبِّخُكَ، فَإِنَّ مُحْرَقَاتِكَ هِيَ دَائِمًا قُدَّامِي.

Not for your sacrifices will I reprove you your burnt-offerings are ever before me

٩ 9 لَا آخُذُ مِنْ بَيْتِكَ ثَوْرًا، وَلَا مِنْ حَظَائِرِكَ أَعْتِدَةً.

Not a bullock will I take from your house, nor male goats out of your folds;

١٠ 10 لِأَنَّ لِي حَيَوَانَ ٱلْوَعْرِ وَٱلْبَهَائِمَ عَلَى ٱلْجِبَالِ ٱلْأُلُوفِ.

for all beasts of the forest are mine, and the kine on a thousand hills.

١١ 11 قَدْ عَلِمْتُ كُلَّ طُيُورِ ٱلْجِبَالِ، وَوُحُوشُ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ عِنْدِي.

I know all the birds of the air, all that moves on the fields is mine.

١٢ 12 إِنْ جُعْتُ فَلَا أَقُولُ لَكَ، لِأَنَّ لِي ٱلْمَسْكُونَةَ وَمِلْأَهَا.

Were I hungry, I would not tell you, for the world and its fulness are mine.

١٣ 13 هَلْ آكُلُ لَحْمَ ٱلثِّيرَانِ، أَوْ أَشْرَبُ دَمَ ٱلتُّيُوسِ؟

Am I such as to eat bulls’ flesh, or drink the blood of goats?

١٤ 14 اِذْبَحْ لِلهِ حَمْدًا، وَأَوْفِ ٱلْعَلِيَّ نُذُورَكَ،

Offer to God a thank-offering, pay the Most High your vows.

١٥ 15 وَٱدْعُنِي فِي يَوْمِ ٱلضِّيقِ أُنْقِذْكَ فَتُمَجِّدَنِي».

Summon me in the day of distress, I will rescue you, so will you honour me.’

١٦ 16 وَلِلشِّرِّيرِ قَالَ ٱللهُ: «مَا لَكَ تُحَدِّثُ بِفَرَائِضِي وَتَحْمِلُ عَهْدِي عَلَى فَمِكَ؟

But to the wicked God says: ‘What right have you to talk of my statutes, or take my covenant into your mouth

١٧ 17 وَأَنْتَ قَدْ أَبْغَضْتَ ٱلتَّأْدِيبَ وَأَلْقَيْتَ كَلَامِي خَلْفَكَ.

while you yourself hate correction, and cast my words behind you?

١٨ 18 إِذَا رَأَيْتَ سَارِقًا وَافَقْتَهُ، وَمَعَ ٱلزُّنَاةِ نَصِيبُكَ.

When you see a thief, you run with them; with adulterers you keep company.

١٩ 19 أَطْلَقْتَ فَمَكَ بِٱلشَّرِّ، وَلِسَانُكَ يَخْتَرِعُ غِشًّا.

You let your mouth loose for evil, your tongue contrives deceit.

٢٠ 20 تَجْلِسُ تَتَكَلَّمُ عَلَى أَخِيكَ. لِٱبْنِ أُمِّكَ تَضَعُ مَعْثَرَةً.

You shamefully speak of your kin, and slander your own mother’s son.

٢١ 21 هَذِهِ صَنَعْتَ وَسَكَتُّ. ظَنَنْتَ أَنِّي مِثْلُكَ. أُوَبِّخُكَ، وَأَصُفُّ خَطَايَاكَ أَمَامَ عَيْنَيْكَ.

And because I kept silence at this, you did take me for one like yourself. But I will convict you and show you plainly.

٢٢ 22 ٱفْهَمُوا هَذَا يَا أَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُونَ ٱللهَ، لِئَلَّا أَفْتَرِسَكُمْ وَلَا مُنْقِذَ.

‘Now you who forget God, mark this, lest I rend you, past hope of deliverance.

٢٣ 23 ذَابِحُ ٱلْحَمْدِ يُمَجِّدُنِي، وَٱلْمُقَوِّمُ طَرِيقَهُ أُرِيهِ خَلَاصَ ٱللهِ».

Those who bring a thank-offering honour me; but to those: who follows my way, I will show the salvation of God.’
