اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 94
| يَا إِلَهَ ٱلنَّقَمَاتِ يَارَبُّ، يَا إِلَهَ ٱلنَّقَمَاتِ، أَشْرِقِ. | ١ 1 |
The Lord is a God of vengeance! God of vengeance, shine out!
| ٱرْتَفِعْ يَا دَيَّانَ ٱلْأَرْضِ. جَازِ صَنِيعَ ٱلْمُسْتَكْبِرِينَ. | ٢ 2 |
Stand up, judge of the earth, and pay back those who are proud what they deserve.
| حَتَّى مَتَى ٱلْخُطَاةُ يَارَبُّ، حَتَّى مَتَى ٱلْخُطَاةُ يَشْمَتُونَ؟ | ٣ 3 |
How long, Lord? How long will the wicked celebrate in triumph?
| يُبِقُّونَ، يَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِوَقَاحَةٍ. كُلُّ فَاعِلِي ٱلْإِثْمِ يَفْتَخِرُونَ. | ٤ 4 |
How long will you let them pour out their arrogant words? How long will these evil people go on boasting?
| يَسْحَقُونَ شَعْبَكَ يَارَبُّ، وَيُذِلُّونَ مِيرَاثَكَ. | ٥ 5 |
Lord, they crush your people; they oppress those you call your own.
| يَقْتُلُونَ ٱلْأَرْمَلَةَ وَٱلْغَرِيبَ، وَيُمِيتُونَ ٱلْيَتِيمَ. | ٦ 6 |
They kill widows and foreigners; they murder orphans.
| وَيَقُولُونَ: «ٱلرَّبُّ لَا يُبْصِرُ، وَإِلَهُ يَعْقُوبَ لَا يُلَاحِظُ». | ٧ 7 |
They say, “The Lord can't see what we're doing. Israel's God doesn't pay any attention to us.”
| اِفْهَمُوا أَيُّهَا ٱلْبُلَدَاءُ فِي ٱلشَّعْبِ، وَيَا جُهَلَاءُ مَتَى تَعْقِلُونَ؟ | ٨ 8 |
Take another look, you stupid people! Fools—when will you ever get the point?
| ٱلْغَارِسُ ٱلْأُذُنِ أَلَا يَسْمَعُ؟ ٱلصَّانِعُ ٱلْعَيْنَ أَلَا يُبْصِرُ؟ | ٩ 9 |
Do you think the creator of the ear can't hear? Do you think the maker of the eye can't see?
| ٱلْمُؤَدِّبُ ٱلْأُمَمَ أَلَا يُبَكِّتُ؟ ٱلْمُعَلِّمُ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ مَعْرِفَةً. | ١٠ 10 |
Do you think that the one who punishes nations won't punish you too? Do you think that the one who teaches human beings knowledge doesn't know anything?
| ٱلرَّبُّ يَعْرِفُ أَفْكَارَ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ أَنَّهَا بَاطِلَةٌ. | ١١ 11 |
The Lord knows the thoughts of human beings—he knows they are pointless.
| طُوبَى لِلرَّجُلِ ٱلَّذِي تُؤَدِّبُهُ يَارَبُّ، وَتُعَلِّمُهُ مِنْ شَرِيعَتِكَ | ١٢ 12 |
Those you discipline are happy, Lord; those you teach from your Law.
| لِتُرِيحَهُ مِنْ أَيَّامِ ٱلشَّرِّ، حَتَّى تُحْفَرَ لِلشِّرِّيرِ حُفْرَةٌ. | ١٣ 13 |
You give them peace in days of trouble, until a pit is dug to trap the wicked.
| لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ لَا يَرْفُضُ شَعْبَهُ، وَلَا يَتْرُكُ مِيرَاثَهُ. | ١٤ 14 |
For the Lord will not give up on his people; he will not abandon his own.
| لِأَنَّهُ إِلَى ٱلْعَدْلِ يَرْجِعُ ٱلْقَضَاءُ، وَعَلَى أَثَرِهِ كُلُّ مُسْتَقِيمِي ٱلْقُلُوبِ. | ١٥ 15 |
Justice will once again be based on what is right; those who are sincere will support it.
| مَنْ يَقُومُ لِي عَلَى ٱلْمُسِيئِينَ؟ مَنْ يَقِفُ لِي ضِدَّ فَعَلَةِ ٱلْإِثْمِ؟ | ١٦ 16 |
Who came to my defense against the wicked; who stood up for me against those who do evil?
| لَوْلَا أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ مُعِينِي، لَسَكَنَتْ نَفْسِي سَرِيعًا أَرْضَ ٱلسُّكُوتِ. | ١٧ 17 |
If the Lord hadn't helped me, I would have soon gone down into the silence of the grave.
| إِذْ قُلْتُ: «قَدْ زَلَّتْ قَدَمِي» فَرَحْمَتُكَ يَارَبُّ تَعْضُدُنِي. | ١٨ 18 |
I shouted out, “My foot's slipping!” and your trustworthy love, Lord, kept me from falling.
| عِنْدَ كَثْرَةِ هُمُومِي فِي دَاخِلِي، تَعْزِيَاتُكَ تُلَذِّذُ نَفْسِي. | ١٩ 19 |
When my mind was full of worries, you comforted me and encouraged me.
| هَلْ يُعَاهِدُكَ كُرْسِيُّ ٱلْمَفَاسِدِ، ٱلْمُخْتَلِقُ إِثْمًا عَلَى فَرِيضَةٍ؟ | ٢٠ 20 |
Can unjust judges really be on your side, Lord, when their corrupt use of the law causes misery?
| يَزْدَحِمُونَ عَلَى نَفْسِ ٱلصِّدِّيقِ، وَيَحْكُمُونَ عَلَى دَمٍ زَكِيٍّ. | ٢١ 21 |
They work together to destroy good people; they condemn those who are innocent to death.
| فَكَانَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِي صَرْحًا، وَإِلَهِي صَخْرَةَ مَلْجَإِي. | ٢٢ 22 |
But the Lord protects me like a fortress; my God is the rock that keeps me safe.
| وَيَرُدُّ عَلَيْهِمْ إِثْمَهُمْ، وَبِشَرِّهِمْ يُفْنِيهِمْ. يُفْنِيهِمُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا. | ٢٣ 23 |
He will turn the wickedness of evil people back upon them; he will destroy them because of their sins; the Lord our God will destroy them.
