< مَراثِي إرْمِي 3 >
أَنَا هُوَ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي شَهِدَ الْبَلِيَّةَ الَّتِي أَنْزَلَهَا قَضِيبُ سُخْطِهِ. | ١ 1 |
I am the man who has seen affliction by the rod of his wrath.
قَادَنِي وَسَيَّرَنِي فِي الظُّلْمَةِ مِنْ غَيْرِ نُورٍ. | ٢ 2 |
He has led me and caused me to walk in darkness, and not in light.
حَقّاً إِنَّهُ يَمُدُّ يَدَهُ عَلَيَّ مَرَّةً تِلْوَ الْمَرَّةِ طُولَ النَّهَارِ. | ٣ 3 |
Surely he turns his hand against me, again and again all the day.
أَبْلَى لَحْمِي وَجِلْدِي. هَشَّمَ عِظَامِي. | ٤ 4 |
He has made my flesh and my skin old. He has broken my bones.
حَاصَرَنِي وَأَحَاطَنِي بِالْعَلْقَمِ وَالْمَشَقَّةِ. | ٥ 5 |
He has built against me, and encompassed me with gall and travail.
أَسْكَنَنِي فِي الظُّلْمَةِ كَمَوْتَى الْحِقَبِ الْغَابِرَةِ. | ٦ 6 |
He has made me to dwell in dark places, as those who have long been dead.
سَيَّجَ حَوْلِي حَتَّى لَا أُفْلِتَ. أَثْقَلَ عَلَيَّ قُيُودِي. | ٧ 7 |
He has walled me around, that I cannot go forth. He has made my chain heavy.
حَتَّى حِينَ أَصْرُخُ وَأَسْتَغِيثُ يَصُدُّ صَلاتِي. | ٨ 8 |
Yea, when I cry, and call for help, he shuts out my prayer.
قَدْ أَغْلَقَ عَلَيَّ طُرُقِي بِحِجَارَةٍ مَنْحُوتَةٍ، وَجَعَلَ مَسَالِكِي مُلْتَوِيَةً. | ٩ 9 |
He has walled up my ways with hewn stone. He has made my paths crooked.
هُوَ لِي كَدُبٍّ مُتَرَبِّصٍ، وَكَأَسَدٍ مُتَرَصِّدٍ فِي مَكْمَنِهِ. | ١٠ 10 |
He is to me as a bear lying in wait, as a lion in concealed places.
أَضَلَّ طُرُقِي وَمَزَّقَنِي إِرْباً. دَمَّرَنِي. | ١١ 11 |
He has turned aside my ways, and pulled me in pieces. He has made me desolate.
وَتَّرَ قَوْسَهُ وَنَصَبَنِي هَدَفاً لِسَهْمِهِ. | ١٢ 12 |
He has bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow.
اخْتَرَقَ كُلْيَتَيَّ بِنِبَالِ جُعْبَتِهِ. | ١٣ 13 |
He has caused the shafts of his quiver to enter into my reins.
صِرْتُ مَثَارَ هُزْءٍ لِشَعْبِي وَأُهْجِيَةً لَهُمُ الْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ. | ١٤ 14 |
I have become a derision to all my people, and their song all the day.
أَشْبَعَنِي مَرَارَةً، وَأَرْوَانِي أَفْسَنْتِيناً. | ١٥ 15 |
He has filled me with bitterness. He has sated me with wormwood.
هَشَّمَ أَسْنَانِي بِالْحَصَى، وَطَمَرَنِي بِالرَّمَادِ. | ١٦ 16 |
He has also broken my teeth with gravel stones. He has covered me with ashes.
فَتَنَاءَتْ نَفْسِي عَنِ السَّلامِ، وَنَسِيتُ طَعْمَ الْخَيْرَاتِ. | ١٧ 17 |
And thou have removed my soul far off from peace. I forgot prosperity.
فَقُلْتُ: «تَلاشَتْ قُوَّتِي، وَكُلُّ مَا كُنْتُ أَرْجُوهُ مِنَ الرَّبِّ». | ١٨ 18 |
And I said, My strength is perished, and my expectation from Jehovah.
اُذْكُرْ بَلِيَّتِي وَتَيَهَانِي وَالأَفْسَنْتِينَ وَالْمَرَارَةَ. | ١٩ 19 |
Remember my affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall.
مَا بَرِحَتْ نَفْسِي تَذْكُرُهَا وَهِيَ مُنْحَنِيَةٌ فِي دَاخِلِي. | ٢٠ 20 |
My soul still has them in remembrance, and is bowed down within me.
وَلَكِنْ هَذَا مَا أُنَاجِي بِهِ نَفْسِي، لِذَلِكَ يَغْمُرُنِي الرَّجَاءُ: | ٢١ 21 |
This I recall to my mind, therefore I have hope:
مِنْ إِحْسَانَاتِ الرَّبِّ أَنَّنَا لَمْ نَفْنَ، لأَنَّ مَرَاحِمَهُ لَا تَزُولُ. | ٢٢ 22 |
It is of Jehovah's loving kindnesses that we are not consumed, because his compassions do not fail.
تَتَجَدَّدُ فِي كُلِّ صَبَاحٍ. فَائِقَةٌ أَمَانَتُكَ. | ٢٣ 23 |
They are new every morning. Great is thy faithfulness.
تَقُولُ نَفْسِي: «الرَّبُّ هُوَ نَصِيبِي فَلِذَلِكَ أَرْجُوهُ». | ٢٤ 24 |
Jehovah is my portion, says my soul, therefore I will hope in him.
الرَّبُّ صَالِحٌ لِمَنْ يَرْجُونَهُ وَلِلنَّفْسِ الَّتِي تَلْتَمِسُهُ. | ٢٥ 25 |
Jehovah is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him.
خَيْرٌ لِلْمَرْءِ أَنْ يَنْتَظِرَ بِصَمْتٍ خَلاصَ الرَّبِّ. | ٢٦ 26 |
It is good that a man should hope and quietly wait for the salvation of Jehovah.
خَيْرٌ لِلْمَرْءِ أَنْ يَحْمِلَ النِّيرَ فِي حَدَاثَتِهِ. | ٢٧ 27 |
It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.
لِيَعْتَكِفْ وَحِيداً فِي صَمْتٍ لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ وَضَعَ النِّيرَ عَلَيْهِ. | ٢٨ 28 |
Let him sit alone and keep silence, because he has laid it upon him.
لِيُوَارِ وَجْهَهُ فِي التُّرَابِ تَذَلُّلاً، عَسَى أَنْ يَكُونَ هُنَاكَ رَجَاءٌ. | ٢٩ 29 |
Let him put his mouth in the dust, if so be there may be hope.
لِيَبْذُلْ خَدَّهُ لِلاطِمِ، وَيَشْبَعْ تَعْيِيراً. | ٣٠ 30 |
Let him give his cheek to him who smites him. Let him be filled full with reproach.
لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ لَا يَنْبِذُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. | ٣١ 31 |
For the Lord will not cast off forever.
فَإِنَّهُ وَلَوْ أَحْزَنَ يَرْأَفُ بِمُقْتَضَى رَحْمَتِهِ الْفَائِقَةِ. | ٣٢ 32 |
For though he causes grief, yet he will have compassion according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.
لأَنَّهُ لَا يَتَعَمَّدُ أَنْ يَبْتَلِيَ أَبْنَاءَ الْبَشَرِ بِالْبُؤْسِ وَالأَسَى، | ٣٣ 33 |
For he does not afflict willingly, nor grieve the sons of men.
وَلا أَنْ يَسْحَقَ أَسْرَى الأَرْضِ تَحْتَ الأَقْدَامِ، | ٣٤ 34 |
To crush under foot all the prisoners of the earth,
وَلا أَنْ يَجُورَ أَحَدٌ عَلَى حُقُوقِ الإِنْسَانِ، أَمَامَ عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ الْعَلِيِّ | ٣٥ 35 |
to turn aside the right of a man before the face of the Most High,
أَوْ أَنْ لَا يُنْصَفَ الإِنْسَانُ فِي دَعْوَاهُ. أَلا يَرَى الرَّبُّ هَذِهِ الأُمُورَ؟ | ٣٦ 36 |
to subvert a man in his cause, the Lord does not approve.
مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَقْضِي بِأَمْرٍ فَيَتَحَقَّقَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنِ الرَّبُّ قَدْ أَمَرَ بِهِ؟ | ٣٧ 37 |
Who is he that says, and it comes to pass, when the Lord does not command it?
أَلَيْسَ مِنْ فَمِ الْعَلِيِّ يَصْدُرُ الضُّرُّ وَالْخَيْرُ؟ | ٣٨ 38 |
Out of the mouth of the Most High does there not come evil and good?
فَلِمَاذَا يَشْتَكِي الإِنْسَانُ الْحَيُّ حِينَ يُعَاقَبُ عَلَى خَطَايَاهُ؟ | ٣٩ 39 |
Why does a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?
لِنَفْحَصْ طُرُقَنَا وَنَخْتَبِرْهَا وَنَرْجِعْ إِلَى الرَّبِّ. | ٤٠ 40 |
Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to Jehovah.
لِنَرْفَعْ قُلُوبَنَا وَأَيْدِيَنَا إِلَى اللهِ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ. | ٤١ 41 |
Let us lift up our heart with our hands to God in the heavens.
قَدْ تَعَدَّيْنَا وَتَمَرَّدْنَا، وَأَنْتَ لَمْ تَغْفِرْ. | ٤٢ 42 |
We have transgressed and have rebelled. Thou have not pardoned.
لَفَّعْتَ نَفْسَكَ بِالْغَضَبِ وَتَعَقَّبْتَنَا. قَتَلْتَ مِنْ غَيْرِ رَحْمَةٍ. | ٤٣ 43 |
Thou have covered with anger and pursued us. Thou have slain; thou have not pitied.
تَلَفَّعْتَ بِالسَّحَابِ حَتَّى لَا تَبْلُغَ إِلَيْكَ صَلاةٌ. | ٤٤ 44 |
Thou have covered thyself with a cloud, so that no prayer can pass through.
قَدْ جَعَلْتَنَا أَوْسَاخاً وَأَقْذَاراً بَيْنَ الشُّعُوبِ. | ٤٥ 45 |
Thou have made us an off-scouring and refuse in the midst of the peoples.
فَتَحَ عَلَيْنَا جَمِيعُ أَعْدَائِنَا أفْوَاهَهُمْ، | ٤٦ 46 |
All our enemies have opened their mouth wide against us.
وَحَلَّ بِنَا الرُّعْبُ وَالْهَلاكُ وَالدَّمَارُ وَالسَّحْقُ. | ٤٧ 47 |
Fear and the pit have come upon us, devastation and destruction.
تَفِيضُ عَيْنَايَ بِأَنْهَارِ مِيَاهٍ عَلَى دَمَارِ ابْنَةِ شَعْبِي. | ٤٨ 48 |
My eye runs down with streams of water, for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
لَنْ تَكُفَّ عَيْنَايَ عَنِ الْبُكَاءِ أَبداً، | ٤٩ 49 |
My eye pours down, and does not cease, without any intermission,
حَتَّى يُشْرِفَ الرَّبُّ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَيُبْصِرَ. | ٥٠ 50 |
till Jehovah looks down, and beholds from heaven.
تَتْلَفُ عَيْنَايَ عَلَى مَصِيرِ كُلِّ بَنَاتِ مَدِينَتِي. | ٥١ 51 |
My eye stirs my soul, because of all the daughters of my city.
قَدِ اصْطَادَنِي، كَعُصْفُورٍ، أَعْدَائِي الَّذِينَ لَمْ أُسِئْ إِلَيْهِمْ، | ٥٢ 52 |
They have chased me grievously like a bird, those who are my enemies without cause.
طَرَحُونِي حَيًّا فِي الْجُبِّ وَرَجَمُونِي بِالْحِجَارَةِ. | ٥٣ 53 |
They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and have cast a stone upon me.
طَغَتِ الْمِيَاهُ فَوْقَ رَأْسِي، فَقُلْتُ: «قَدْ هَلَكْتُ». | ٥٤ 54 |
Waters flowed over my head. I said, I am cut off.
اسْتَغَثْتُ بِاسْمِكَ يَا رَبُّ مِنْ أَعْمَاقِ الْجُبِّ، | ٥٥ 55 |
I called upon thy name, O Jehovah, out of the lowest dungeon.
فَسَمِعْتَ صَوْتِي. لَا تَصُمَّ أُذُنَيْكَ عَنْ صُرَاخِ اسْتِغَاثَتِي. | ٥٦ 56 |
Thou heard my voice. Hide not thine ear at my breathing, at my cry.
اقْتَرَبْتَ حِينَ دَعَوْتُكَ إِذْ قُلْتَ: «لا تَخَفْ». | ٥٧ 57 |
Thou drew near in the day that I called upon thee. Thou said, Fear not.
قَدْ دَافَعْتَ عَنْ دَعْوَايَ يَا رَبُّ، وَافْتَدَيْتَ حَيَاتِي. | ٥٨ 58 |
O Lord, thou have pleaded the causes of my soul. Thou have redeemed my life.
أَنْتَ شَهِدْتَ مَا أَسَاءُوا بِهِ إِلَيَّ يَا رَبُّ، فَاقْضِ فِي دَعْوَايَ. | ٥٩ 59 |
O Jehovah, thou have seen my wrong. Judge thou my cause.
قَدْ رَأَيْتَ انْتِقَامَهُمْ كُلَّهُ وَسَائِرَ مُؤَامَرَاتِهِمْ عَلَيَّ. | ٦٠ 60 |
Thou have seen all their vengeance and all their devices against me.
سَمِعْتَ تَعْيِيرَهُمْ يَا رَبُّ، وَجَمِيعَ مُؤَامَرَاتِهِمْ عَلَيَّ. | ٦١ 61 |
Thou have heard their reproach, O Jehovah, and all their devices against me,
وَسَمِعْتَ كَلامَ أَعْدَائِي وَتَدْبِيرَاتِهِمْ ضِدِّي الْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ. | ٦٢ 62 |
the lips of those who rose up against me, and their device against me all the day.
رَاقِبْ جُلُوسَهُمْ وَقِيَامَهُمْ، فَقَدْ أَصْبَحْتُ أُهْجِيَةً لَهُمْ. | ٦٣ 63 |
Behold thou their sitting down, and their rising up. I am their song.
جَازِهِمْ يَا رَبُّ بِمُقْتَضَى مَا جَنَتْهُ أَيْدِيهِمْ. | ٦٤ 64 |
Thou will render to them a recompense, O Jehovah, according to the work of their hands.
اجْعَلْ عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ غَشَاوَةً، وَلْتَكُنْ لَعْنَتُكَ عَلَيْهِمْ. | ٦٥ 65 |
Thou will give them hardness of heart, thy curse to them.
تَعَقَّبْهُمْ بِسُخْطٍ وَأَهْلِكْهُمْ مِنْ تَحْتِ سَمَاوَاتِكَ يَا رَبُّ. | ٦٦ 66 |
Thou will pursue them in anger, and destroy them from under the heavens of Jehovah.
