اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 69

١ 1 لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ. عَلَى «ٱلسُّوْسَنِّ». لِدَاوُدَ خَلِّصْنِي يَا ٱللهُ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْمِيَاهَ قَدْ دَخَلَتْ إِلَى نَفْسِي.

“To the chief musician upon Shoshannim, by David.” Save me, O God; for the waters are come even to threaten my life.

٢ 2 غَرِقْتُ فِي حَمْأَةٍ عَمِيقَةٍ، وَلَيْسَ مَقَرٌّ. دَخَلْتُ إِلَى أَعْمَاقِ ٱلْمِيَاهِ، وَٱلسَّيْلُ غَمَرَنِي.

I am sunk in the mire of the deep, where there is no standing; I am come into the depths of the waters, and the flood overfloweth me.

٣ 3 تَعِبْتُ مِنْ صُرَاخِي. يَبِسَ حَلْقِي. كَلَّتْ عَيْنَايَ مِنِ ٱنْتِظَارِ إِلَهِي.

I am weary of my calling; my throat is hoarse; my eyes fail, while I hope for my God.

٤ 4 أَكْثَرُ مِنْ شَعْرِ رَأْسِي ٱلَّذِينَ يُبْغِضُونَنِي بِلَا سَبَبٍ. ٱعْتَزَّ مُسْتَهْلِكِيَّ أَعْدَائِي ظُلْمًا. حِينَئِذٍ رَدَدْتُ ٱلَّذِي لَمْ أَخْطَفْهُ.

More than the hairs of my head are those that hate me without a cause; numerous are those that would destroy me, that are my enemies wrongfully: what I have not robbed shall I now restore.

٥ 5 يَا ٱللهُ أَنْتَ عَرَفْتَ حَمَاقَتِي، وَذُنُوبِي عَنْكَ لَمْ تَخْفَ.

O God, thou art well aware of my folly, and my guilty deeds are from thee not hidden.

٦ 6 لَا يَخْزَ بِي مُنْتَظِرُوكَ يَا سَيِّدُ رَبَّ ٱلْجُنُودِ. لَا يَخْجَلْ بِي مُلْتَمِسُوكَ يَا إِلَهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

Let not those that wait on thee, O Lord Eternal of hosts, be made ashamed through me: let not those that seek thee be confounded through me, O God of Israel.

٧ 7 لِأَنِّي مِنْ أَجْلِكَ ٱحْتَمَلْتُ ٱلْعَارَ. غَطَّى ٱلْخَجَلُ وَجْهِي.

Because for thy sake have I borne reproach, hath confusion covered my face.

٨ 8 صِرْتُ أَجْنَبِيًّا عِنْدَ إِخْوَتِي، وَغَرِيبًا عِنْدَ بَنِي أُمِّي.

A stranger am I become unto my brothers, and an alien unto my mother's children.

٩ 9 لِأَنَّ غَيْرَةَ بَيْتِكَ أَكَلَتْنِي، وَتَعْيِيرَاتِ مُعَيِّرِيكَ وَقَعَتْ عَلَيَّ.

Because the zeal for thy house hath devoured me; and the reproaches of those that reproached thee are fallen upon me.

١٠ 10 وَأَبْكَيْتُ بِصَوْمٍ نَفْسِي، فَصَارَ ذَلِكَ عَارًا عَلَيَّ.

When I wept at the fasting of my soul, it became a reproach to me.

١١ 11 جَعَلْتُ لِبَاسِي مِسْحًا، وَصِرْتُ لَهُمْ مَثَلًا.

And when I made sackcloth my garment, I became a proverb to them.

١٢ 12 يَتَكَلَّمُ فِيَّ ٱلْجَالِسُونَ فِي ٱلْبَابِ، وَأَغَانِيُّ شَرَّابِي ٱلْمُسْكِرِ.

Those that sit in the gate talk against me; and [about me make] songs the drinkers of strong drink.

١٣ 13 أَمَّا أَنَا فَلَكَ صَلَاتِي يَارَبُّ فِي وَقْتِ رِضًى. يَا ٱللهُ، بِكَثْرَةِ رَحْمَتِكَ ٱسْتَجِبْ لِي، بِحَقِّ خَلَاصِكَ.

But as for me, I direct my prayer unto thee, O Lord, in a time of favor; O God, in the multitude of thy kindness: answer me in the truth of thy salvation.

١٤ 14 نَجِّنِي مِنَ ٱلطِّينِ فَلَا أَغْرَقَ. نَجِّنِي مِنْ مُبْغِضِيَّ وَمِنْ أَعْمَاقِ ٱلْمِيَاهِ.

Deliver me out of the mire, that I may not sink: let me be delivered from those that hate me, and out of the depths of the waters.

١٥ 15 لَا يَغْمُرَنِّي سَيْلُ ٱلْمِيَاهِ، وَلَا يَبْتَلِعَنِّي ٱلْعُمْقُ، وَلَا تُطْبِقِ ٱلْهَاوِيَةُ عَلَيَّ فَاهَا.

Let not the flood of waters overflow me, and let not the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit close its mouth upon me.

١٦ 16 ٱسْتَجِبْ لِي يَارَبُّ لِأَنَّ رَحْمَتَكَ صَالِحَةٌ. كَكَثْرَةِ مَرَاحِمِكَ ٱلْتَفِتْ إِلَيَّ.

Answer me, O Lord; for thy kindness is good: according to the multitude of thy mercies turn thou unto me.

١٧ 17 وَلَا تَحْجُبْ وَجْهَكَ عَنْ عَبْدِكَ، لِأَنَّ لِي ضِيْقًا. ٱسْتَجِبْ لِي سَرِيعًا.

And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in distress: make haste and answer me.

١٨ 18 ٱقْتَرِبْ إِلَى نَفْسِي. فُكَّهَا. بِسَبَبِ أَعْدَائِي ٱفْدِنِي.

Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: because of my enemies do thou ransom me.

١٩ 19 أَنْتَ عَرَفْتَ عَارِي وَخِزْيِي وَخَجَلِي. قُدَّامَكَ جَمِيعُ مُضَايِقِيَّ.

Thou well knowest my reproach, and my shame, and my confusion: before thee are all my assailants.

٢٠ 20 ٱلْعَارُ قَدْ كَسَرَ قَلْبِي فَمَرِضْتُ. ٱنْتَظَرْتُ رِقَّةً فَلَمْ تَكُنْ، وَمُعَزِّينَ فَلَمْ أَجِدْ.

Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am sick; and I waited for pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.

٢١ 21 وَيَجْعَلُونَ فِي طَعَامِي عَلْقَمًا، وَفِي عَطَشِي يَسْقُونَنِي خَلًّا.

And they put into my food gall; and in my thirst they give me vinegar to drink.

٢٢ 22 لِتَصِرْ مَائِدَتُهُمْ قُدَّامَهُمْ فَخًّا، وَلِلْآمِنِينَ شَرَكًا.

May [then] their table become a snare before them: and to those that are at peace, a trap.

٢٣ 23 لِتُظْلِمْ عُيُونُهُمْ عَنِ ٱلْبَصَرِ، وَقَلْقِلْ مُتُونَهُمْ دَائِمًا.

May their eyes become dark, that they cannot see; and make their loins continually to waver.

٢٤ 24 صُبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ سَخَطَكَ، وَلْيُدْرِكْهُمْ حُمُوُّ غَضَبِكَ.

Pour out over them thy indignation, and let the heat of thy anger overtake them.

٢٥ 25 لِتَصِرْ دَارُهُمْ خَرَابًا، وَفِي خِيَامِهِمْ لَا يَكُنْ سَاكِنٌ.

May their palace become desolate: in their tents let no one dwell.

٢٦ 26 لِأَنَّ ٱلَّذِي ضَرَبْتَهُ أَنْتَ هُمْ طَرَدُوهُ، وَبِوَجَعِ ٱلَّذِينَ جَرَحْتَهُمْ يَتَحَدَّثُونَ.

For whom thou hast smitten they persecute; and of the pain of those whom thou but wounded do they converse.

٢٧ 27 اِجْعَلْ إِثْمًا عَلَى إِثْمِهِمْ، وَلَا يَدْخُلُوا فِي بِرِّكَ.

Lay guilt upon their guilt; and let them not come into thy righteousness.

٢٨ 28 لِيُمْحَوْا مِنْ سِفْرِ ٱلْأَحْيَاءِ، وَمَعَ ٱلصِّدِّيقِينَ لَا يُكْتَبُوا.

Let them be blotted out of the book of the living; and with the righteous let them not be written down.

٢٩ 29 أَمَّا أَنَا فَمِسْكِينٌ وَكَئِيبٌ. خَلَاصُكَ يَا ٱللهُ فَلْيُرَفِّعْنِي.

But I am poor and suffering: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.

٣٠ 30 أُسَبِّحُ ٱسْمَ ٱللهِ بِتَسْبِيحٍ، وَأُعَظِّمُهُ بِحَمْدٍ.

I will praise the name of God with song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.

٣١ 31 فَيُسْتَطَابُ عِنْدَ ٱلرَّبِّ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ثَوْرِ بَقَرٍ ذِي قُرُونٍ وَأَظْلَافٍ.

And this will please the Lord better than an ox or bullock having horns and cloven hoofs.

٣٢ 32 يَرَى ذَلِكَ ٱلْوُدَعَاءُ فَيَفْرَحُونَ، وَتَحْيَا قُلُوبُكُمْ يَا طَالِبِي ٱللهِ.

The meek will see this, and be rejoiced: ye that seek God, and your heart shall revive.

٣٣ 33 لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ سَامِعٌ لِلْمَسَاكِينِ وَلَا يَحْتَقِرُ أَسْرَاهُ.

For the Lord listeneth unto the needy, and his prisoners he despiseth not.

٣٤ 34 تُسَبِّحُهُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ، ٱلْبِحَارُ وَكُلُّ مَا يَدِبُّ فِيهَا.

Let heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein.

٣٥ 35 لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ يُخَلِّصُ صِهْيَوْنَ وَيَبْنِي مُدُنَ يَهُوذَا، فَيَسْكُنُونَ هُنَاكَ وَيَرِثُونَهَا.

For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah: that they may abide there, and have it in possession:

٣٦ 36 وَنَسْلُ عَبِيدِهِ يَمْلِكُونَهَا، وَمُحِبُّو ٱسْمِهِ يَسْكُنُونَ فِيهَا.

And the seed of his servants shall inherit it; and they that love his name shall dwell therein.
