اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 55

١ 1 لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ عَلَى «ذَوَاتِ ٱلْأَوْتَارِ». قَصِيدَةٌ لِدَاوُدَ اِصْغَ يَا ٱللهُ إِلَى صَلَاتِي، وَلَا تَتَغَاضَ عَنْ تَضَرُّعِي.

For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. Maschil of David. Give ear to my prayer, O God; And hide not thyself from my supplication.

٢ 2 ٱسْتَمِعْ لِي وَٱسْتَجِبْ لِي. أَتَحَيَّرُ فِي كُرْبَتِي وَأَضْطَرِبُ

Attend unto me, and answer me: I am restless in my complaint, and moan,

٣ 3 مِنْ صَوْتِ ٱلْعَدُوِّ، مِنْ قِبَلِ ظُلْمِ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ. لِأَنَّهُمْ يُحِيلُونَ عَلَيَّ إِثْمًا، وَبِغَضَبٍ يَضْطَهِدُونَنِي.

Because of the voice of the enemy, Because of the oppression of the wicked; For they cast iniquity upon me, And in anger they persecute me.

٤ 4 يَمْخَضُ قَلْبِي فِي دَاخِلِي، وَأَهْوَالُ ٱلْمَوْتِ سَقَطَتْ عَلَيَّ.

My heart is sore pained within me: And the terrors of death are fallen upon me.

٥ 5 خَوْفٌ وَرَعْدَةٌ أَتَيَا عَلَيَّ، وَغَشِيَنِي رُعْبٌ.

Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, And horror hath overwhelmed me.

٦ 6 فَقُلْتُ: «لَيْتَ لِي جَنَاحًا كَٱلْحَمَامَةِ، فَأَطِيرَ وَأَسْتَرِيحَ!

And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! Then would I fly away, and be at rest.

٧ 7 هَأَنَذَا كُنْتُ أَبْعُدُ هَارِبًا، وَأَبِيتُ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ. سِلَاهْ.

Lo, then would I wander far off, I would lodge in the wilderness. (Selah)

٨ 8 كُنْتُ أُسْرِعُ فِي نَجَاتِي مِنَ ٱلرِّيحِ ٱلْعَاصِفَةِ، وَمِنَ ٱلنَّوْءِ».

I would haste me to a shelter From the stormy wind and tempest.

٩ 9 أَهْلِكْ يَارَبُّ، فَرِّقْ أَلْسِنَتَهُمْ، لِأَنِّي قَدْ رَأَيْتُ ظُلْمًا وَخِصَامًا فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ.

Destroy, O Lord, [and] divide their tongue; For I have seen violence and strife in the city.

١٠ 10 نَهَارًا وَلَيْلًا يُحِيطُونَ بِهَا عَلَى أَسْوَارِهَا، وَإِثْمٌ وَمَشَقَّةٌ فِي وَسَطِهَا.

Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: Iniquity also and mischief are in the midst of it.

١١ 11 مَفَاسِدُ فِي وَسَطِهَا، وَلَا يَبْرَحُ مِنْ سَاحَتِهَا ظُلْمٌ وَغِشٌّ.

Wickedness is in the midst thereof: Oppression and guile depart not from its streets.

١٢ 12 لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ عَدُوٌّ يُعَيِّرُنِي فَأَحْتَمِلَ. لَيْسَ مُبْغِضِي تَعَظَّمَ عَلَيَّ فَأَخْتَبِئَ مِنْهُ.

For it was not an enemy that reproached me; Then I could have borne it: Neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; Then I would have hid myself from him:

١٣ 13 بَلْ أَنْتَ إِنْسَانٌ عَدِيلِي، إِلْفِي وَصَدِيقِي،

But it was thou, a man mine equal, My companion, and my familiar friend.

١٤ 14 ٱلَّذِي مَعَهُ كَانَتْ تَحْلُو لَنَا ٱلْعِشْرَةُ. إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱللهِ كُنَّا نَذْهَبُ فِي ٱلْجُمْهُورِ.

We took sweet counsel together; We walked in the house of God with the throng.

١٥ 15 لِيَبْغَتْهُمُ ٱلْمَوْتُ. لِيَنْحَدِرُوا إِلَى ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ أَحْيَاءً، لِأَنَّ فِي مَسَاكِنِهِمْ، فِي وَسْطِهِمْ شُرُورًا. (Sheol h7585)

Let death come suddenly upon them, Let them go down alive into Sheol; For wickedness is in their dwelling, in the midst of them. (Sheol h7585)

١٦ 16 أَمَّا أَنَا فَإِلَى ٱللهِ أَصْرُخُ، وَٱلرَّبُّ يُخَلِّصُنِي.

As for me, I will call upon God; And Jehovah will save me.

١٧ 17 مَسَاءً وَصَبَاحًا وَظُهْرًا أَشْكُو وَأَنُوحُ، فَيَسْمَعُ صَوْتِي.

Evening, and morning, and at noonday, will I complain, and moan; And he will hear my voice.

١٨ 18 فَدَى بِسَلَامٍ نَفْسِي مِنْ قِتَالٍ عَلَيَّ، لِأَنَّهُمْ بِكَثْرَةٍ كَانُوا حَوْلِي.

He hath redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me; For they were many [that strove] with me.

١٩ 19 يَسْمَعُ ٱللهُ فَيُذِلُّهُمْ، وَٱلْجَالِسُ مُنْذُ ٱلْقِدَمِ. سِلَاهْ. ٱلَّذِينَ لَيْسَ لَهُمْ تَغَيُّرٌ، وَلَا يَخَافُونَ ٱللهَ.

God will hear, and answer them, Even he that abideth of old, (Selah) [The men] who have no changes, And who fear not God.

٢٠ 20 أَلْقَى يَدَيْهِ عَلَى مُسَالِمِيهِ. نَقَضَ عَهْدَهُ.

He hath put forth his hands against such as were at peace with him: He hath profaned his covenant.

٢١ 21 أَنْعَمُ مِنَ ٱلزُّبْدَةِ فَمُهُ، وَقَلْبُهُ قِتَالٌ. أَلْيَنُ مِنَ ٱلزَّيْتِ كَلِمَاتُهُ، وَهِيَ سُيُوفٌ مَسْلُولَةٌ.

His mouth was smooth as butter, But his heart was war: His words were softer than oil, Yet were they drawn swords.

٢٢ 22 أَلْقِ عَلَى ٱلرَّبِّ هَمَّكَ فَهُوَ يَعُولُكَ. لَا يَدَعُ ٱلصِّدِّيقَ يَتَزَعْزَعُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ.

Cast thy burden upon Jehovah, and he will sustain thee: He will never suffer the righteous to be moved.

٢٣ 23 وَأَنْتَ يَا ٱللهُ تُحَدِّرُهُمْ إِلَى جُبِّ ٱلْهَلَاكِ. رِجَالُ ٱلدِّمَاءِ وَٱلْغِشِّ لَا يَنْصُفُونَ أَيَّامَهُمْ. أَمَّا أَنَا فَأَتَّكِلُ عَلَيْكَ.

But thou, O God, wilt bring them down into the pit of destruction: Bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; But I will trust in thee.
