< اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 83 >
تَسْبِيحَةٌ. مَزْمُورٌ لِآسَافَ اَللَّهُمَّ، لَا تَصْمُتْ. لَا تَسْكُتْ وَلَا تَهْدَأْ يَاٱللهُ. | ١ 1 |
God, do not continue to be silent! Do not be quiet and say nothing,
فَهُوَذَا أَعْدَاؤُكَ يَعِجُّونَ، وَمُبْغِضُوكَ قَدْ رَفَعُوا ٱلرَّأْسَ. | ٢ 2 |
because your enemies are rioting against you; those who hate you are rebelling against you!
عَلَى شَعْبِكَ مَكَرُوا مُؤَامَرَةً، وَتَشَاوَرُوا عَلَى أَحْمِيَائِكَ. | ٣ 3 |
They are secretly planning to do things to harm [us], your people; they are (conspiring together against/planning how to defeat) the people whom you protect.
قَالُوا: «هَلُمَّ نُبِدْهُمْ مِنْ بَيْنِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ، وَلَا يُذْكَرُ ٱسْمُ إِسْرَائِيلَ بَعْدُ». | ٤ 4 |
They say, “Come, we must destroy their nation, with the result that no one will remember that Israel ever existed!”
لِأَنَّهُمْ تَآمَرُوا بِٱلْقَلْبِ مَعًا. عَلَيْكَ تَعَاهَدُوا عَهْدًا. | ٥ 5 |
They have agreed on [what they want to do to destroy Israel], and they have formed an alliance against you.
خِيَامُ أَدُومَ وَٱلْإِسْمَاعِيلِيِّينَ، مُوآبُ وَٱلْهَاجَرِيُّونَ. | ٦ 6 |
[The people who have done that are] the people of Edom [region], the descendants of Ishmael [who live on the east side of the Jordan River], the Moab [people-group], the descendants of Hagar [who also live on the east side of the Jordan River],
جِبَالُ وَعَمُّونُ وَعَمَالِيقُ، فَلَسْطِينُ مَعَ سُكَّانِ صُورٍ. | ٧ 7 |
Gebal [people-group], the Ammon [people-group], the Amalek [people-group], the Philistia [people-group], and the people of Tyre [city].
أَشُّورُ أَيْضًا ٱتَّفَقَ مَعَهُمْ. صَارُوا ذِرَاعًا لِبَنِي لُوطٍ. سِلَاهْ. | ٨ 8 |
[The people of] have joined them; they are strong allies of the [Moab and Ammon people-groups, who are] descendants of [Abraham’s nephew] Lot.
اِفْعَلْ بِهِمْ كَمَا بِمِدْيَانَ، كَمَا بِسِيسَرَا، كَمَا بِيَابِينَ فِي وَادِي قِيشُونَ. | ٩ 9 |
[God], do to those people things like you did to the Midian [people-group], like [you did] to Sisera and Jabin at Kishon River.
بَادُوا فِي عَيْنِ دُورٍ. صَارُوا دِمَنًا لِلْأَرْضِ. | ١٠ 10 |
You destroyed them at Endor [town], and their corpses [lay on] the ground and decayed.
ٱجْعَلْهُمْ، شُرَفَاءَهُمْ مِثْلَ غُرَابٍ، وَمِثْلَ ذِئْبٍ. وَمِثْلَ زَبَحَ، وَمِثْلَ صَلْمُنَّاعَ كُلَّ أُمَرَائِهِمْ. | ١١ 11 |
Do to them things like you did to [Kings] Oreb and Zeeb; defeat their leaders like you defeated Zebah and Zalmunna,
ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوا: «لِنَمْتَلِكْ لِأَنْفُسِنَا مَسَاكِنَ ٱللهِ». | ١٢ 12 |
who said, “We will take for ourselves the land that [the Israelis say] belongs to God!”
يَا إِلَهِي، ٱجْعَلْهُمْ مِثْلَ ٱلْجُلِّ، مِثْلَ ٱلْقَشِّ أَمَامَ ٱلرِّيحِ. | ١٣ 13 |
My God, cause them [to disappear quickly] like whirling dust, like chaff that the wind blows away!
كَنَارٍ تَحْرِقُ ٱلْوَعْرَ، كَلَهِيبٍ يُشْعِلُ ٱلْجِبَالَ. | ١٤ 14 |
Like a fire completely burns a forest and like flames burn in the mountains,
هَكَذَا ٱطْرُدْهُمْ بِعَاصِفَتِكَ، وَبِزَوْبَعَتِكَ رَوِّعْهُمْ. | ١٥ 15 |
expel them by sending storms; cause them to be terrified by your big storms/hurricanes!
ٱمْلَأْ وُجُوهَهُمْ خِزْيًا، فَيَطْلُبُوا ٱسْمَكَ يَارَبُّ. | ١٦ 16 |
Cause them [SYN] to be very ashamed in order that they will admit that you are very powerful.
لِيَخْزَوْا وَيَرْتَاعُوا إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، وَلْيَخْجَلُوا وَيَبِيدُوا، | ١٧ 17 |
Cause them to be forever disgraced [because of being defeated], and cause them to die while they are still disgraced.
وَيَعْلَمُوا أَنَّكَ ٱسْمُكَ يَهْوَهُ وَحْدَكَ، ٱلْعَلِيُّ عَلَى كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ١٨ 18 |
Cause them to know that you, whose name is Yahweh, are the supreme ruler over everything on the earth.
