< اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 94 >
يَا إِلَهَ ٱلنَّقَمَاتِ يَارَبُّ، يَا إِلَهَ ٱلنَّقَمَاتِ، أَشْرِقِ. | ١ 1 |
O God, of vengeance, Lord! O God of vengeance, shine forth.
ٱرْتَفِعْ يَا دَيَّانَ ٱلْأَرْضِ. جَازِ صَنِيعَ ٱلْمُسْتَكْبِرِينَ. | ٢ 2 |
Lift up thyself, O judge of the Earth! bring a recompense upon the proud.
حَتَّى مَتَى ٱلْخُطَاةُ يَارَبُّ، حَتَّى مَتَى ٱلْخُطَاةُ يَشْمَتُونَ؟ | ٣ 3 |
How long shall the wicked, O Lord—how long shall the wicked exult?
يُبِقُّونَ، يَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِوَقَاحَةٍ. كُلُّ فَاعِلِي ٱلْإِثْمِ يَفْتَخِرُونَ. | ٤ 4 |
They sputter, they speak hard things: all the workers of wickedness boast themselves.
يَسْحَقُونَ شَعْبَكَ يَارَبُّ، وَيُذِلُّونَ مِيرَاثَكَ. | ٥ 5 |
Thy people, O Lord! they crush, and thy heritage they afflict.
يَقْتُلُونَ ٱلْأَرْمَلَةَ وَٱلْغَرِيبَ، وَيُمِيتُونَ ٱلْيَتِيمَ. | ٦ 6 |
The widow and the stranger they slay, and the fatherless they murder.
وَيَقُولُونَ: «ٱلرَّبُّ لَا يُبْصِرُ، وَإِلَهُ يَعْقُوبَ لَا يُلَاحِظُ». | ٧ 7 |
And they say, The Lord will not see, and the God of Jacob will not take notice of it.
اِفْهَمُوا أَيُّهَا ٱلْبُلَدَاءُ فِي ٱلشَّعْبِ، وَيَا جُهَلَاءُ مَتَى تَعْقِلُونَ؟ | ٨ 8 |
Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye become intelligent!
ٱلْغَارِسُ ٱلْأُذُنِ أَلَا يَسْمَعُ؟ ٱلصَّانِعُ ٱلْعَيْنَ أَلَا يُبْصِرُ؟ | ٩ 9 |
He that hath planted the ear, shall he not hear? or he that hath formed the eye, shall he not see?
ٱلْمُؤَدِّبُ ٱلْأُمَمَ أَلَا يُبَكِّتُ؟ ٱلْمُعَلِّمُ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ مَعْرِفَةً. | ١٠ 10 |
He that admonisheth nations, shall he not correct? is it not he that teacheth man knowledge!
ٱلرَّبُّ يَعْرِفُ أَفْكَارَ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ أَنَّهَا بَاطِلَةٌ. | ١١ 11 |
The Lord knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are nought.
طُوبَى لِلرَّجُلِ ٱلَّذِي تُؤَدِّبُهُ يَارَبُّ، وَتُعَلِّمُهُ مِنْ شَرِيعَتِكَ | ١٢ 12 |
Happy is the man whom thou admonisheth, O Lord, and teachest him out of thy law:
لِتُرِيحَهُ مِنْ أَيَّامِ ٱلشَّرِّ، حَتَّى تُحْفَرَ لِلشِّرِّيرِ حُفْرَةٌ. | ١٣ 13 |
That thou mayest grant him repose from the days of evil, until the pot be dug for the wicked.
لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ لَا يَرْفُضُ شَعْبَهُ، وَلَا يَتْرُكُ مِيرَاثَهُ. | ١٤ 14 |
For the Lord will not cast off his people, and his inheritance will he not forsake.
لِأَنَّهُ إِلَى ٱلْعَدْلِ يَرْجِعُ ٱلْقَضَاءُ، وَعَلَى أَثَرِهِ كُلُّ مُسْتَقِيمِي ٱلْقُلُوبِ. | ١٥ 15 |
For unto righteousness will justice return; and it shall be followed by all the upright in heart.
مَنْ يَقُومُ لِي عَلَى ٱلْمُسِيئِينَ؟ مَنْ يَقِفُ لِي ضِدَّ فَعَلَةِ ٱلْإِثْمِ؟ | ١٦ 16 |
Who will rise up for me against evil-doers? or who will stand forward for me against the workers of wickedness?
لَوْلَا أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ مُعِينِي، لَسَكَنَتْ نَفْسِي سَرِيعًا أَرْضَ ٱلسُّكُوتِ. | ١٧ 17 |
Unless the Lord had been a help unto me, but a little would have been wanting that my soul had dwelt in the silence of death.
إِذْ قُلْتُ: «قَدْ زَلَّتْ قَدَمِي» فَرَحْمَتُكَ يَارَبُّ تَعْضُدُنِي. | ١٨ 18 |
When I said, My foot hath slipped: thy kindness, O Lord, sustained me.
عِنْدَ كَثْرَةِ هُمُومِي فِي دَاخِلِي، تَعْزِيَاتُكَ تُلَذِّذُ نَفْسِي. | ١٩ 19 |
In the multitude of my [painful] thoughts within me, thy consolations delight my soul.
هَلْ يُعَاهِدُكَ كُرْسِيُّ ٱلْمَفَاسِدِ، ٱلْمُخْتَلِقُ إِثْمًا عَلَى فَرِيضَةٍ؟ | ٢٠ 20 |
Can there be associated with thee the throne of destructive wickedness, which frameth mischief as a law?
يَزْدَحِمُونَ عَلَى نَفْسِ ٱلصِّدِّيقِ، وَيَحْكُمُونَ عَلَى دَمٍ زَكِيٍّ. | ٢١ 21 |
They band themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and innocent blood do they condemn.
فَكَانَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِي صَرْحًا، وَإِلَهِي صَخْرَةَ مَلْجَإِي. | ٢٢ 22 |
But the Lord is become my defence, and my God, the rock of my refuge.
وَيَرُدُّ عَلَيْهِمْ إِثْمَهُمْ، وَبِشَرِّهِمْ يُفْنِيهِمْ. يُفْنِيهِمُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا. | ٢٣ 23 |
And he will bring back upon them their own injustice, and in their own wickedness will he destroy them: [yea], he will destroy them—the Lord our God.
