المَزامِير 102

١ 1 صَلاةُ الْمِسْكِينِ إِذَا أَعْيَا وَسَكَبَ شَكْوَاهُ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ يَا رَبُّ اسْتَمِعْ صَلاتِي وَلْيَصِلْ إِلَيْكَ صُرَاخِي.

Hear my prayer, O LORD, and let my cry come unto you.

٢ 2 لَا تَحْجُبْ وَجْهَكَ عَنِّي فِي يَوْمِ ضِيقِي، بَلْ أَمِلْ نَحْوِي أُذُنَكَ. اسْتَجِبْ لِي سَرِيعاً يَوْمَ أَدْعُوكَ،

Hide not your face from me in the day when I am in trouble; incline your ear unto me: in the day when I call answer me speedily.

٣ 3 لأَنَّ أَيَّامِي قَدْ تَبَدَّدَتْ كَالدُّخَانِ، وَعِظَامِي اضْطَرَمَتْ كَالْوَقِيدِ.

For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as an hearth.

٤ 4 قَلْبِي مَنْكُوبٌ وَيَابِسٌ كَالْعُشْبِ الْجَافِّ، حَتَّى غَفِلْتُ عَنْ أَكْلِ طَعَامِي.

My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread.

٥ 5 الْتَصَقَتْ عِظَامِي بِلَحْمِي مِنْ جَرَّاءِ أَنَّاتِي الْمُرْتَفِعَةِ.

By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin.

٦ 6 صِرْتُ أَشْبَهَ بِبَجْعِ الْبَرَارِي، وَمِثْلَ بُومَةِ الْخَرَائِبِ.

I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert.

٧ 7 أَرِقْتُ، وَصِرْتُ كَالْعُصْفُورِ الْمُنْفَرِدِ عَلَى السَّطْحِ.

I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.

٨ 8 عَيَّرَنِي أَعْدَائِي طُولَ النَّهَارِ، وَالسَّاخِرُونَ الْحَانِقُونَ عَلَيَّ، جَعَلُوا اسْمِي لَعْنَةً،

Mine enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad against me are sworn against me.

٩ 9 فَقَدْ أَكَلْتُ الرَّمَادَ كَالْخُبْزِ، وَمَزَجْتُ شَرَابِي بِالدُّمُوعِ،

For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping.

١٠ 10 بِسَبَبِ غَضَبِكَ وَسَخَطِكَ لأَنَّكَ قَدْ رَفَعْتَنِي ثُمَّ طَرَحْتَنِي بِعُنْفٍ.

Because of your indignation and your wrath: for you have lifted me up, and cast me down.

١١ 11 عُمْرِي أَشْبَهُ بِظِلٍّ مُتَقَلِّصٍ، وَأَنَا مِثْلُ الْعُشْبِ أَذْوِي.

My days are like a shadow that declines; and I am withered like grass.

١٢ 12 أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا رَبُّ فَجَالِسٌ عَلَى عَرْشِكَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ، وَذِكْرُكَ بَاقٍ مَدَى الدَّهْرِ.

But you, O LORD, shall endure for ever; and your remembrance unto all generations.

١٣ 13 أَنْتَ تَقُومُ وَتَرْحَمُ صِهْيَوْنَ لأَنَّهُ قَدْ أَزِفَ وَقْتُ إِظْهَارِ رِضَاكَ،

You shall arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, has come.

١٤ 14 فَإِنَّ عَبِيدَكَ يُسَرُّونَ بِحِجَارَتِهَا، يَشْتَاقُونَ إِلَى ذَرَّاتِ تُرَابِهَا.

For your servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour the dust thereof.

١٥ 15 فَتَخْشَى الأُمَمُ اسْمَ الرَّبِّ، وَيَهَابُ جَمِيعُ مُلُوكِ الأَرْضِ مَجْدَكَ.

So the heathen shall fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth your glory.

١٦ 16 لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ بَنَى صِهْيَوْنَ وَتَجَلَّى فِي مَجْدِهِ.

When the LORD shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory.

١٧ 17 الْتَفَتَ إِلَى صَلاةِ الْبَائِسِينَ وَلَمْ يَرْفُضْ دُعَاءَ الْمُتَضَايِقِينَ.

He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer.

١٨ 18 يُكْتَبُ هَذَا لِلْجِيلِ الآتِي الَّذِي سَيُخْلَقُ فَيُسَبِّحُ الرَّبَّ.

This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the LORD.

١٩ 19 تَطَلَّعَ الرَّبُّ مِنْ عَلْيَاءِ مَقْدِسِهِ، مِنَ السَّمَاوَاتِ نَظَرَ إِلَى الأَرْضِ،

For he has looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the LORD behold the earth;

٢٠ 20 لِيَسْمَعَ أَنِينَ شَعْبِهِ الأَسِيرِ وَيُحَرِّرَ الْمَقْضِيَّ عَلَيْهِمْ بِالْمَوْتِ.

To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death;

٢١ 21 لِكَيْ يُذَاعَ اسْمُ الرَّبِّ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ، وَيُسَبَّحَ أَيْضاً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ،

To declare the name of the LORD in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem;

٢٢ 22 عِنْدَمَا تَجْتَمِعُ الشُّعُوبُ وَالْمَمَالِكُ جَمِيعاً لِيَعْبُدُوا الرَّبَّ.

When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the LORD.

٢٣ 23 الرَّبُّ أَضْعَفَنِي وَأَنَا فِي رَيْعَانِ قُوَّتِي وَقَصَّرَ أَيَّامِي.

He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my days.

٢٤ 24 حَتَّى قُلْتُ: «يَا رَبُّ أَنْتَ حَيٌّ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. لَا تَقْصِفْنِي فِي مُنْتَصَفِ عُمْرِي، قَبْلَ أَنْ أَبْلُغَ الشَّيْخُوخَةَ.

I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: your years are throughout all generations.

٢٥ 25 مِنْ قِدَمٍ أَسَّسْتَ الأَرْضَ، وَالسَّمَاوَاتُ هِيَ صُنْعُ يَدَيْكَ.

Of old have you laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of your hands.

٢٦ 26 هِيَ زَائِلَةٌ أَمَّا أَنْتَ فَبَاقٍ. تَبْلَى كُلُّهَا كَالثَّوْبِ. وَتَسْتَبْدِلُهَا كَمَا يُسْتَبْدَلُ الرِّدَاءُ القَدِيمُ بِالجَدِيدِ.

They shall perish, but you shall endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shall you change them, and they shall be changed:

٢٧ 27 لَكِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الدَّائِمُ الْخَالِدُ، وَسِنُوكَ لَنْ تَنْتَهِيَ.

But you are the same, and your years shall have no end.

٢٨ 28 أَبْنَاءُ عَبِيدِكَ يَدُومُونَ، وَنَسْلُهُمْ يَظَلُّ ثَابِتاً أَمَامَكَ».

The children of your servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established before you.
