< اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 90 >
صَلَاةٌ لِمُوسَى رَجُلِ ٱللهِ يَارَبُّ، مَلْجَأً كُنْتَ لَنَا فِي دَوْرٍ فَدَوْرٍ. | ١ 1 |
BOOK IV A Prayer of Moses the man of God. Lord, Thou hast been our dwelling-place in all generations.
مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ تُولَدَ ٱلْجِبَالُ، أَوْ أَبْدَأْتَ ٱلْأَرْضَ وَٱلْمَسْكُونَةَ، مُنْذُ ٱلْأَزَلِ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ أَنْتَ ٱللهُ. | ٢ 2 |
Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever Thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, Thou art God.
تُرْجِعُ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ إِلَى ٱلْغُبَارِ وَتَقُولُ: «ٱرْجِعُوا يَا بَنِي آدَمَ». | ٣ 3 |
Thou turnest man to contrition; and sayest: 'Return, ye children of men.'
لِأَنَّ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ فِي عَيْنَيْكَ مِثْلُ يَوْمِ أَمْسِ بَعْدَ مَا عَبَرَ، وَكَهَزِيعٍ مِنَ ٱللَّيْلِ. | ٤ 4 |
For a thousand years in Thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
جَرَفْتَهُمْ. كَسِنَةٍ يَكُونُونَ. بِٱلْغَدَاةِ كَعُشْبٍ يَزُولُ. | ٥ 5 |
Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep; in the morning they are like grass which groweth up.
بِٱلْغَدَاةِ يُزْهِرُ فَيَزُولُ. عِنْدَ ٱلْمَسَاءِ يُجَزُّ فَيَيْبَسُ. | ٦ 6 |
In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.
لِأَنَّنَا قَدْ فَنِينَا بِسَخَطِكَ وَبِغَضَبِكَ ٱرْتَعَبْنَا. | ٧ 7 |
For we are consumed in Thine anger, and by Thy wrath are we hurried away.
قَدْ جَعَلْتَ آثَامَنَا أَمَامَكَ، خَفِيَّاتِنَا فِي ضَوْءِ وَجْهِكَ. | ٨ 8 |
Thou hast set our iniquities before Thee, our secret sins in the light of Thy countenance.
لِأَنَّ كُلَّ أَيَّامِنَا قَدِ ٱنْقَضَتْ بِرِجْزِكَ. أَفْنَيْنَا سِنِينَا كَقِصَّةٍ. | ٩ 9 |
For all our days are passed away in Thy wrath; we bring our years to an end as a tale that is told.
أَيَّامُ سِنِينَا هِيَ سَبْعُونَ سَنَةً، وَإِنْ كَانَتْ مَعَ ٱلْقُوَّةِ فَثَمَانُونَ سَنَةً، وَأَفْخَرُهَا تَعَبٌ وَبَلِيَّةٌ، لِأَنَّهَا تُقْرَضُ سَرِيعًا فَنَطِيرُ. | ١٠ 10 |
The days of our years are threescore years and ten, or even by reason of strength fourscore years; yet is their pride but travail and vanity; for it is speedily gone, and we fly away.
مَنْ يَعْرِفُ قُوَّةَ غَضَبَكَ؟ وَكَخَوْفِكَ سَخَطُكَ. | ١١ 11 |
Who knoweth the power of Thine anger, and Thy wrath according to the fear that is due unto Thee?
إِحْصَاءَ أَيَّامِنَا هَكَذَا عَلِّمْنَا فَنُؤْتَى قَلْبَ حِكْمَةٍ. | ١٢ 12 |
So teach us to number our days, that we may get us a heart of wisdom.
اِرْجِعْ يَارَبُّ، حَتَّى مَتَى؟ وَتَرَأَّفْ عَلَى عَبِيدِكَ. | ١٣ 13 |
Return, O LORD; how long? And let it repent Thee concerning Thy servants.
أَشْبِعْنَا بِٱلْغَدَاةِ مِنْ رَحْمَتِكَ، فَنَبْتَهِجَ وَنَفْرَحَ كُلَّ أَيَّامِنَا. | ١٤ 14 |
O satisfy us in the morning with Thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
فَرِّحْنَا كَٱلْأَيَّامِ ٱلَّتِي فِيهَا أَذْلَلْتَنَا، كَٱلسِّنِينِ ٱلَّتِي رَأَيْنَا فِيهَا شَرًّا. | ١٥ 15 |
Make us glad according to the days wherein Thou hast afflicted us, according to the years wherein we have seen evil.
لِيَظْهَرْ فِعْلُكَ لِعَبِيدِكَ، وَجَلَالُكَ لِبَنِيهِمْ. | ١٦ 16 |
Let Thy work appear unto Thy servants, and Thy glory upon their children.
وَلْتَكُنْ نِعْمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا عَلَيْنَا، وَعَمَلَ أَيْدِينَا ثَبِّتْ عَلَيْنَا، وَعَمَلَ أَيْدِينَا ثَبِّتْهُ. | ١٧ 17 |
And let the graciousness of the Lord our God be upon us; establish Thou also upon us the work of our hands; yea, the work of our hands establish Thou it.
