مَراثِي إرْمِي 3
| أَنَا هُوَ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي شَهِدَ الْبَلِيَّةَ الَّتِي أَنْزَلَهَا قَضِيبُ سُخْطِهِ. | ١ 1 |
I am the man, that hath seene affliction in the rod of his indignation.
| قَادَنِي وَسَيَّرَنِي فِي الظُّلْمَةِ مِنْ غَيْرِ نُورٍ. | ٢ 2 |
He hath ledde mee, and brought me into darkenes, but not to light.
| حَقّاً إِنَّهُ يَمُدُّ يَدَهُ عَلَيَّ مَرَّةً تِلْوَ الْمَرَّةِ طُولَ النَّهَارِ. | ٣ 3 |
Surely he is turned against me: he turneth his hand against me all the day.
| أَبْلَى لَحْمِي وَجِلْدِي. هَشَّمَ عِظَامِي. | ٤ 4 |
My flesh and my skinne hath he caused to waxe olde, and he hath broken my bones.
| حَاصَرَنِي وَأَحَاطَنِي بِالْعَلْقَمِ وَالْمَشَقَّةِ. | ٥ 5 |
He hath builded against me, and compassed me with gall, and labour.
| أَسْكَنَنِي فِي الظُّلْمَةِ كَمَوْتَى الْحِقَبِ الْغَابِرَةِ. | ٦ 6 |
He hath set me in darke places, as they that be dead for euer.
| سَيَّجَ حَوْلِي حَتَّى لَا أُفْلِتَ. أَثْقَلَ عَلَيَّ قُيُودِي. | ٧ 7 |
He hath hedged about mee, that I cannot get out: he hath made my chaines heauy.
| حَتَّى حِينَ أَصْرُخُ وَأَسْتَغِيثُ يَصُدُّ صَلاتِي. | ٨ 8 |
Also when I cry and showte, hee shutteth out my prayer.
| قَدْ أَغْلَقَ عَلَيَّ طُرُقِي بِحِجَارَةٍ مَنْحُوتَةٍ، وَجَعَلَ مَسَالِكِي مُلْتَوِيَةً. | ٩ 9 |
He hath stopped vp my wayes with hewen stone, and turned away my paths.
| هُوَ لِي كَدُبٍّ مُتَرَبِّصٍ، وَكَأَسَدٍ مُتَرَصِّدٍ فِي مَكْمَنِهِ. | ١٠ 10 |
He was vnto me as a beare lying in waite, and as a Lion in secret places.
| أَضَلَّ طُرُقِي وَمَزَّقَنِي إِرْباً. دَمَّرَنِي. | ١١ 11 |
He hath stopped my wayes, and pulled me in pieces: he hath made me desolate.
| وَتَّرَ قَوْسَهُ وَنَصَبَنِي هَدَفاً لِسَهْمِهِ. | ١٢ 12 |
He hath bent his bow and made me a marke for the arrow.
| اخْتَرَقَ كُلْيَتَيَّ بِنِبَالِ جُعْبَتِهِ. | ١٣ 13 |
Hee caused the arrowes of his quiuer to enter into my reines.
| صِرْتُ مَثَارَ هُزْءٍ لِشَعْبِي وَأُهْجِيَةً لَهُمُ الْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ. | ١٤ 14 |
I was a derision to all my people, and their song all the day.
| أَشْبَعَنِي مَرَارَةً، وَأَرْوَانِي أَفْسَنْتِيناً. | ١٥ 15 |
He hath filled me with bitternes, and made me drunken with wormewood.
| هَشَّمَ أَسْنَانِي بِالْحَصَى، وَطَمَرَنِي بِالرَّمَادِ. | ١٦ 16 |
He hath also broken my teeth with stones, and hath couered me with ashes.
| فَتَنَاءَتْ نَفْسِي عَنِ السَّلامِ، وَنَسِيتُ طَعْمَ الْخَيْرَاتِ. | ١٧ 17 |
Thus my soule was farre off from peace: I forgate prosperitie,
| فَقُلْتُ: «تَلاشَتْ قُوَّتِي، وَكُلُّ مَا كُنْتُ أَرْجُوهُ مِنَ الرَّبِّ». | ١٨ 18 |
And I saide, My strength and mine hope is perished from the Lord,
| اُذْكُرْ بَلِيَّتِي وَتَيَهَانِي وَالأَفْسَنْتِينَ وَالْمَرَارَةَ. | ١٩ 19 |
Remembring mine affliction, and my mourning, the wormewood and the gall.
| مَا بَرِحَتْ نَفْسِي تَذْكُرُهَا وَهِيَ مُنْحَنِيَةٌ فِي دَاخِلِي. | ٢٠ 20 |
My soule hath them in remembrance, and is humbled in me.
| وَلَكِنْ هَذَا مَا أُنَاجِي بِهِ نَفْسِي، لِذَلِكَ يَغْمُرُنِي الرَّجَاءُ: | ٢١ 21 |
I consider this in mine heart: therefore haue I hope.
| مِنْ إِحْسَانَاتِ الرَّبِّ أَنَّنَا لَمْ نَفْنَ، لأَنَّ مَرَاحِمَهُ لَا تَزُولُ. | ٢٢ 22 |
It is the Lordes mercies that wee are not consumed, because his compassions faile not.
| تَتَجَدَّدُ فِي كُلِّ صَبَاحٍ. فَائِقَةٌ أَمَانَتُكَ. | ٢٣ 23 |
They are renued euery morning: great is thy faithfulnesse.
| تَقُولُ نَفْسِي: «الرَّبُّ هُوَ نَصِيبِي فَلِذَلِكَ أَرْجُوهُ». | ٢٤ 24 |
The Lord is my portion, sayth my soule: therefore wil I hope in him.
| الرَّبُّ صَالِحٌ لِمَنْ يَرْجُونَهُ وَلِلنَّفْسِ الَّتِي تَلْتَمِسُهُ. | ٢٥ 25 |
The Lord is good vnto them, that trust in him, and to the soule that seeketh him.
| خَيْرٌ لِلْمَرْءِ أَنْ يَنْتَظِرَ بِصَمْتٍ خَلاصَ الرَّبِّ. | ٢٦ 26 |
It is good both to trust, and to waite for the saluation of the Lord.
| خَيْرٌ لِلْمَرْءِ أَنْ يَحْمِلَ النِّيرَ فِي حَدَاثَتِهِ. | ٢٧ 27 |
It is good for a man that he beare the yoke in his youth.
| لِيَعْتَكِفْ وَحِيداً فِي صَمْتٍ لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ وَضَعَ النِّيرَ عَلَيْهِ. | ٢٨ 28 |
He sitteth alone, and keepeth silence, because he hath borne it vpon him.
| لِيُوَارِ وَجْهَهُ فِي التُّرَابِ تَذَلُّلاً، عَسَى أَنْ يَكُونَ هُنَاكَ رَجَاءٌ. | ٢٩ 29 |
He putteth his mouth in the dust, if there may be hope.
| لِيَبْذُلْ خَدَّهُ لِلاطِمِ، وَيَشْبَعْ تَعْيِيراً. | ٣٠ 30 |
Hee giueth his cheeke to him that smiteth him: he is filled full with reproches.
| لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ لَا يَنْبِذُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. | ٣١ 31 |
For the Lord will not forsake for euer.
| فَإِنَّهُ وَلَوْ أَحْزَنَ يَرْأَفُ بِمُقْتَضَى رَحْمَتِهِ الْفَائِقَةِ. | ٣٢ 32 |
But though he sende affliction, yet will he haue compassion according to the multitude of his mercies.
| لأَنَّهُ لَا يَتَعَمَّدُ أَنْ يَبْتَلِيَ أَبْنَاءَ الْبَشَرِ بِالْبُؤْسِ وَالأَسَى، | ٣٣ 33 |
For he doeth not punish willingly, nor afflict the children of men,
| وَلا أَنْ يَسْحَقَ أَسْرَى الأَرْضِ تَحْتَ الأَقْدَامِ، | ٣٤ 34 |
In stamping vnder his feete all the prisoners of the earth,
| وَلا أَنْ يَجُورَ أَحَدٌ عَلَى حُقُوقِ الإِنْسَانِ، أَمَامَ عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ الْعَلِيِّ | ٣٥ 35 |
In ouerthrowing 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 |
In subuerting a man in his cause: the Lord seeth it not.
| مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَقْضِي بِأَمْرٍ فَيَتَحَقَّقَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنِ الرَّبُّ قَدْ أَمَرَ بِهِ؟ | ٣٧ 37 |
Who is he then that sayth, and it commeth to passe, and the Lord commandeth it not?
| أَلَيْسَ مِنْ فَمِ الْعَلِيِّ يَصْدُرُ الضُّرُّ وَالْخَيْرُ؟ | ٣٨ 38 |
Out of the mouth of the most high proceedeth not euill and good?
| فَلِمَاذَا يَشْتَكِي الإِنْسَانُ الْحَيُّ حِينَ يُعَاقَبُ عَلَى خَطَايَاهُ؟ | ٣٩ 39 |
Wherefore then is the liuing man sorowfull? man suffreth for his sinne.
| لِنَفْحَصْ طُرُقَنَا وَنَخْتَبِرْهَا وَنَرْجِعْ إِلَى الرَّبِّ. | ٤٠ 40 |
Let vs search and try our wayes, and turne againe to the Lord.
| لِنَرْفَعْ قُلُوبَنَا وَأَيْدِيَنَا إِلَى اللهِ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ. | ٤١ 41 |
Let vs lift vp our hearts with our handes vnto God in the heauens.
| قَدْ تَعَدَّيْنَا وَتَمَرَّدْنَا، وَأَنْتَ لَمْ تَغْفِرْ. | ٤٢ 42 |
We haue sinned, and haue rebelled, therefore thou hast not spared.
| لَفَّعْتَ نَفْسَكَ بِالْغَضَبِ وَتَعَقَّبْتَنَا. قَتَلْتَ مِنْ غَيْرِ رَحْمَةٍ. | ٤٣ 43 |
Thou hast couered vs with wrath, and persecuted vs: thou hast slaine and not spared.
| تَلَفَّعْتَ بِالسَّحَابِ حَتَّى لَا تَبْلُغَ إِلَيْكَ صَلاةٌ. | ٤٤ 44 |
Thou hast couered thy selfe with a cloude, that our prayer should not passe through.
| قَدْ جَعَلْتَنَا أَوْسَاخاً وَأَقْذَاراً بَيْنَ الشُّعُوبِ. | ٤٥ 45 |
Thou hast made vs as the ofscouring and refuse in the middes of the people.
| فَتَحَ عَلَيْنَا جَمِيعُ أَعْدَائِنَا أفْوَاهَهُمْ، | ٤٦ 46 |
All our enemies haue opened their mouth against vs.
| وَحَلَّ بِنَا الرُّعْبُ وَالْهَلاكُ وَالدَّمَارُ وَالسَّحْقُ. | ٤٧ 47 |
Feare, and a snare is come vpon vs with desolation and destruction.
| تَفِيضُ عَيْنَايَ بِأَنْهَارِ مِيَاهٍ عَلَى دَمَارِ ابْنَةِ شَعْبِي. | ٤٨ 48 |
Mine eye casteth out riuers of water, for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
| لَنْ تَكُفَّ عَيْنَايَ عَنِ الْبُكَاءِ أَبداً، | ٤٩ 49 |
Mine eye droppeth without stay and ceaseth not,
| حَتَّى يُشْرِفَ الرَّبُّ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَيُبْصِرَ. | ٥٠ 50 |
Till the Lord looke downe, and beholde from heauen.
| تَتْلَفُ عَيْنَايَ عَلَى مَصِيرِ كُلِّ بَنَاتِ مَدِينَتِي. | ٥١ 51 |
Mine eye breaketh mine heart because of all the daughters of my citie.
| قَدِ اصْطَادَنِي، كَعُصْفُورٍ، أَعْدَائِي الَّذِينَ لَمْ أُسِئْ إِلَيْهِمْ، | ٥٢ 52 |
Mine enemies chased me sore like a birde, without cause.
| طَرَحُونِي حَيًّا فِي الْجُبِّ وَرَجَمُونِي بِالْحِجَارَةِ. | ٥٣ 53 |
They haue shut vp my life in the dungeon, and cast a stone vpon me.
| طَغَتِ الْمِيَاهُ فَوْقَ رَأْسِي، فَقُلْتُ: «قَدْ هَلَكْتُ». | ٥٤ 54 |
Waters flowed ouer mine head, then thought I, I am destroyed.
| اسْتَغَثْتُ بِاسْمِكَ يَا رَبُّ مِنْ أَعْمَاقِ الْجُبِّ، | ٥٥ 55 |
I called vpon thy Name, O Lord, out of the lowe dungeon.
| فَسَمِعْتَ صَوْتِي. لَا تَصُمَّ أُذُنَيْكَ عَنْ صُرَاخِ اسْتِغَاثَتِي. | ٥٦ 56 |
Thou hast heard my voyce: stoppe not thine eare from my sigh and from my cry.
| اقْتَرَبْتَ حِينَ دَعَوْتُكَ إِذْ قُلْتَ: «لا تَخَفْ». | ٥٧ 57 |
Thou drewest neere in the day that I called vpon thee: thou saydest, Feare not.
| قَدْ دَافَعْتَ عَنْ دَعْوَايَ يَا رَبُّ، وَافْتَدَيْتَ حَيَاتِي. | ٥٨ 58 |
O Lord, thou hast maintained the cause of my soule, and hast redeemed my life.
| أَنْتَ شَهِدْتَ مَا أَسَاءُوا بِهِ إِلَيَّ يَا رَبُّ، فَاقْضِ فِي دَعْوَايَ. | ٥٩ 59 |
O Lord, thou hast seene my wrong, iudge thou my cause.
| قَدْ رَأَيْتَ انْتِقَامَهُمْ كُلَّهُ وَسَائِرَ مُؤَامَرَاتِهِمْ عَلَيَّ. | ٦٠ 60 |
Thou hast seene all their vengeance, and all their deuises against me.
| سَمِعْتَ تَعْيِيرَهُمْ يَا رَبُّ، وَجَمِيعَ مُؤَامَرَاتِهِمْ عَلَيَّ. | ٦١ 61 |
Thou hast heard their reproch, O Lord, and all their imaginations against me:
| وَسَمِعْتَ كَلامَ أَعْدَائِي وَتَدْبِيرَاتِهِمْ ضِدِّي الْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ. | ٦٢ 62 |
The lippes also of those that rose against me, and their whispering against me continually.
| رَاقِبْ جُلُوسَهُمْ وَقِيَامَهُمْ، فَقَدْ أَصْبَحْتُ أُهْجِيَةً لَهُمْ. | ٦٣ 63 |
Behold, their sitting downe and their rising vp, how I am their song.
| جَازِهِمْ يَا رَبُّ بِمُقْتَضَى مَا جَنَتْهُ أَيْدِيهِمْ. | ٦٤ 64 |
Giue them a recompence, O Lord, according to the worke of their handes.
| اجْعَلْ عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ غَشَاوَةً، وَلْتَكُنْ لَعْنَتُكَ عَلَيْهِمْ. | ٦٥ 65 |
Giue them sorow of heart, euen thy curse to them.
| تَعَقَّبْهُمْ بِسُخْطٍ وَأَهْلِكْهُمْ مِنْ تَحْتِ سَمَاوَاتِكَ يَا رَبُّ. | ٦٦ 66 |
Persecute with wrath and destroy them from vnder the heauen, O Lord.
