اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 79

١ 1 مَزْمُورٌ. لِآسَافَ اَللَّهُمَّ، إِنَّ ٱلْأُمَمَ قَدْ دَخَلُوا مِيرَاثَكَ. نَجَّسُوا هَيْكَلَ قُدْسِكَ. جَعَلُوا أُورُشَلِيمَ أَكْوَامًا.

A PSALM OF ASAPH. O God, nations have come into Your inheritance, They have defiled Your holy temple, They made Jerusalem become heaps,

٢ 2 دَفَعُوا جُثَثَ عَبِيدِكَ طَعَامًا لِطُيُورِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، لَحْمَ أَتْقِيَائِكَ لِوُحُوشِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

They gave the dead bodies of Your servants [As] food for the birds of the heavens, The flesh of Your saints For the wild beast of the earth.

٣ 3 سَفَكُوا دَمَهُمْ كَٱلْمَاءِ حَوْلَ أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يَدْفِنُ.

They have shed their blood As water around Jerusalem, And there is none burying.

٤ 4 صِرْنَا عَارًا عِنْدَ جِيرَانِنَا، هُزْءًا وَسُخْرَةً لِلَّذِينَ حَوْلَنَا.

We have been a reproach to our neighbors, A scorn and a derision to our surrounders.

٥ 5 إِلَى مَتَى يَارَبُّ تَغْضَبُ كُلَّ ٱلْغَضَبِ، وَتَتَّقِدُ كَٱلنَّارِ غَيْرَتُكَ؟

Until when, O YHWH? Are You angry forever? Your jealousy burns as fire.

٦ 6 أَفِضْ رِجْزَكَ عَلَى ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَعْرِفُونَكَ، وَعَلَى ٱلْمَمَالِكِ ٱلَّتِي لَمْ تَدْعُ بِٱسْمِكَ،

Pour Your fury on the nations who have not known You, And on kingdoms that have not called on Your Name.

٧ 7 لِأَنَّهُمْ قَدْ أَكَلُوا يَعْقُوبَ وَأَخْرَبُوا مَسْكَنَهُ.

For [one] has devoured Jacob, And they have made his habitation desolate.

٨ 8 لَا تَذْكُرْ عَلَيْنَا ذُنُوبَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ. لِتَتَقَدَّمْنَا مَرَاحِمُكَ سَرِيعًا، لِأَنَّنَا قَدْ تَذَلَّلْنَا جِدًّا.

Do not remember for us the iniquities of forefathers, Hurry, let Your mercies go before us, For we have been very weak.

٩ 9 أَعِنَّا يَا إِلَهَ خَلَاصِنَا مِنْ أَجْلِ مَجْدِ ٱسْمِكَ، وَنَجِّنَا وَٱغْفِرْ خَطَايَانَا مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱسْمِكَ.

Help us, O God of our salvation, Because of the glory of Your Name, And deliver us, and cover over our sins, For Your Name’s sake.

١٠ 10 لِمَاذَا يَقُولُ ٱلْأُمَمُ: «أَيْنَ هُوَ إِلَهُهُمْ؟». لِتُعْرَفْ عِنْدَ ٱلْأُمَمِ قُدَّامَ أَعْيُنِنَا نَقْمَةُ دَمِ عَبِيدِكَ ٱلْمُهْرَاقِ.

Why do the nations say, “Where [is] their God?” Let [it] be known among the nations before our eyes, The vengeance of the blood of Your servants that is shed.

١١ 11 لِيَدْخُلْ قُدَّامَكَ أَنِينُ ٱلْأَسِيرِ. كَعَظَمَةِ ذِرَاعِكَ ٱسْتَبْقِ بَنِي ٱلْمَوْتِ.

Let the groaning of the prisoner come in before You, According to the greatness of Your arm, Leave the sons of death.

١٢ 12 وَرُدَّ عَلَى جِيرَانِنَا سَبْعَةَ أَضْعَافٍ فِي أَحْضَانِهِمِ ٱلْعَارَ ٱلَّذِي عَيَّرُوكَ بِهِ يَارَبُّ.

And return to our neighbors, Sevenfold to their bosom, their reproach, With which they reproached You, O Lord.

١٣ 13 أَمَّا نَحْنُ شَعْبُكَ وَغَنَمُ رِعَايَتِكَ نَحْمَدُكَ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ. إِلَى دَوْرٍ فَدَوْرٍ نُحَدِّثُ بِتَسْبِيحِكَ.

And we, Your people, and the flock of Your pasture, We give thanks to You for all time, We recount Your praise from generation to generation!
