< المَزامِير 16 >
لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ. مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ احْفَظْنِي يَا اللهُ، فَإِنِّي مُتَوَكِّلٌ عَلَيْكَ. | ١ 1 |
God, protect me because I go to you to keep me safe!
قُلْتُ لِلرَّبِّ: أَنْتَ سَيِّدِي، وَلَا خَيْرَ لِي بِمَعْزِلٍ عَنْكَ. | ٢ 2 |
I said to Yahweh, “You are my Lord; all the good things that I have come from you.”
كُلُّ بَهْجَتِي فِي قِدِّيسِي الأَرْضِ وَأَفَاضِلِهَا. | ٣ 3 |
Your people who live in this land are wonderful; I delight to be with them.
تَتَكَاثَرُ أَوْجَاعُ الْمُتَهَافِتِينَ وَرَاءَ غَيْرِكَ. أَمَّا أَنَا فَتَقْدِمَاتُ سَكَائِبِهِمِ الدَّمَوِيَّةِ لَا أُقَدِّمُ، وَلَا أَذْكُرُ أَسْمَاءَ أَوْثَانِهِمْ بِشَفَتَيَّ. | ٤ 4 |
Those who choose to worship other gods will have many things that cause them to be sad. I will not join them when they make sacrifices [to their gods]; I will not even join them when they speak [MTY] the names of their gods.
الرَّبُّ نَصِيبِي وَمِيرَاثِي وَكَأْسُ ارْتِوَائِي. أَنْتَ حَافِظُ قِسْمَتِي. | ٥ 5 |
Yahweh, you are the one whom I have chosen, and you give me great blessings. You protect me and control what happens to me.
فِي أَرْضٍ بَهِيجَةٍ وَقَعَتْ قِسْمَةُ حِصَّتِي. فَمَا أَفْضَلَ هَذَا الْمِيرَاثَ عِنْدِي! | ٦ 6 |
Yahweh has given me a wonderful place in which to live; I am delighted with all the things that he has given me [MET].
أُبَارِكُ الرَّبَّ نَاصِحِي، وَفِي اللَّيْلِ أَيْضاً يُرْشِدُنِي ضَمِيرِي. | ٧ 7 |
I will praise Yahweh, the one who teaches/disciplines me; even at night [he] you put in my mind what is right for me to do.
جَعَلْتُ الرَّبَّ أَمَامِي دَائِماً فَإِنَّهُ عَنْ يَمِينِي فَلَا أَتَزَعْزَعُ. | ٨ 8 |
I know that Yahweh is always with me. He is beside me; so nothing will (perturb me/cause me to be worried).
لِذَلِكَ فَرِحَ قَلْبِي وَتَهَلَّلَ لِسَانِي حَتَّى إِنَّ جَسَدِي سَيَرْقُدُ عَلَى رَجَاءٍ، | ٩ 9 |
Therefore I am glad and I [MTY, DOU] rejoice; I can rest securely
لأَنَّكَ لَنْ تَتْرُكَ نَفْسِي فِي هُوَّةِ الأَمْوَاتِ وَلَنْ تَدَعَ وَحِيدَكَ الْقُدُّوسَ يَنَالُ مِنْهُ الْفَسَادُ. (Sheol ) | ١٠ 10 |
because you, Yahweh, will not allow my soul/spirit to remain in the place where the dead people are; you will not allow me, your godly one, to stay there. (Sheol )
هَدَيْتَنِي سُبُلَ الْحَيَاةِ: فَإِنَّ مِلْءَ الْبَهْجَةِ فِي حَضْرَتِكَ، وَفِي يَمِينِكَ مَسَرَّاتٌ أَبَدِيَّةٌ. | ١١ 11 |
You will show me the road that leads to [receiving eternal] life, and you will make me joyful when I am with you. I will have pleasure forever when I am (at your right hand/seated next to you).
