المَزامِير 22

١ 1 لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ، عَلَى أَيِّلَةِ الصَّبَاحِ مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ إِلَهِي، إِلَهِي، لِمَاذَا تَرَكْتَنِي؟ لِمَاذَا تَبَاعَدْتَ عَنْ خَلاصِي وَعَنْ سَمَاعِ صَوْتِ تَنَهُّدَاتِي؟

For the Chief Musician; set to “The Doe of the Morning.” A Psalm by David. My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from helping me, and from the words of my groaning?

٢ 2 إِلَهِي، أَصْرُخُ إِلَيْكَ مُسْتَغِيثاً فِي النَّهَارِ فَلَا تُجِيبُنِي، وَفِي اللَّيْلِ فَلَا رَاحَةَ لِي،

My God, I cry in the daytime, but you do not answer; in the night season, and am not silent.

٣ 3 مَعْ أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْقُدُّوسُ الَّذِي أَقَمْتَ عَرْشَكَ فِي وَسَطِ شَعْبِكَ الَّذِي يُسَبِّحُكَ.

But you are holy, you who inhabit the praises of Israel.

٤ 4 عَلَيْكَ اتَّكَلَ آبَاؤُنَا، وَبِكَ وَثِقُوا، وَأَنْتَ قَدْ نَجَّيْتَهُمْ.

Our fathers trusted in you. They trusted, and you delivered them.

٥ 5 إِلَيْكَ صَرَخُوا فَنَجَوْا، وَعَلَيْكَ اتَّكَلُوا فَلَمْ يَخْزَوْا.

They cried to you, and were delivered. They trusted in you, and were not disappointed.

٦ 6 أَمَّا أَنَا فَدُودَةٌ لَا إِنْسَانٌ. عَارٌ فِي نَظَرِ الْبَشَرِ، وَمَنْبُوذٌ فِي عَيْنَيْ شَعْبِي.

But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised by the people.

٧ 7 جَمِيعُ الَّذِينَ يَرَوْنَنِي يَسْتَهْزِئُونَ بِي، يَفْتَحُونَ شِفَاهَهُمْ عَلَيَّ بِالْبَاطِلِ، وَيَهُزُّونَ رُؤُوسَهُمْ قَائِلِينَ:

All those who see me mock me. They insult me with their lips. They shake their heads, saying,

٨ 8 «سَلَّمَ إِلَى الرَّبِّ أَمْرَهُ، فَلْيُنْجِدْهُ. لِيُنْقِذْهُ مَادَامَ قَدْ سُرَّ بِهِ».

“He trusts in the LORD. Let him deliver him. Let him rescue him, since he delights in him.”

٩ 9 أَنْتَ أَخْرَجْتَنِي مِنَ الرَّحِمِ. أَنْتَ جَعَلْتَنِي أَنَامُ مُطْمَئِنّاً وَأَنَا مَازِلْتُ عَلَى صَدْرِ أُمِّي.

But you brought me out of the womb. You made me trust while at my mother’s breasts.

١٠ 10 أَنْتَ مُتَّكَلِي مِنْ قَبْلِ مِيلادِي، فَأَنْتَ إِلَهِي مُنْذُ كُنْتُ جَنِيناً.

I was thrown on you from my mother’s womb. You are my God since my mother bore me.

١١ 11 لَا تَقِفْ بَعِيداً عَنِّي، لأَنَّ الضِّيقَ قَرِيبٌ وَلَا مُعِينَ لِي.

Do not be far from me, for trouble is near. For there is no one to help.

١٢ 12 حَاصَرَنِي أَعْدَاءُ أَقْوِيَاءُ، كَأَنَّهُمْ ثِيرَانُ بَاشَانَ الْقَوِيَّةُ.

Many bulls have surrounded me. Strong bulls of Bashan have encircled me.

١٣ 13 فَغَرُوا عَلَيَّ أَفْوَاهَهُم كَأَنَّهُمْ أُسُودٌ مُفْتَرِسَةٌ مُزَمْجِرَةٌ.

They open their mouths wide against me, lions tearing prey and roaring.

١٤ 14 صَارَتْ قُوَّتِي كَالْمَاءِ، وَانْحَلَّتْ عِظَامِي. صَارَ قَلْبِي كَالشَّمْعِ، وَذَابَ فِي دَاخِلِي.

I am poured out like water. All my bones are out of joint. My heart is like wax. It is melted within me.

١٥ 15 جَفَّتْ نَضَارَتِي كَقِطْعَةِ الْفَخَّارِ، وَالْتَصَقَ لِسَانِي بِحَنَكِي. إِلَى تُرَابِ الأَرْضِ تَضَعُنِي.

My strength is dried up like a potsherd. My tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. You have brought me into the dust of death.

١٦ 16 أَحَاطَ بِي الأَدْنِيَاءُ. جَمَاعَةٌ مِنَ الأَشْرَارِ طَوَّقَتْنِي. ثَقَبُوا يَدَيَّ وَرِجْلَيَّ.

For dogs have surrounded me. A company of evildoers have enclosed me. They have pierced my hands and feet.

١٧ 17 صِرْتُ لِهُزَالِي أُحْصِي عِظَامِي، وَهُمْ يُرَاقِبُونَنِي وَيُحْدِقُونَ فِيَّ.

I can count all of my bones. They look and stare at me.

١٨ 18 يَتَقَاسَمُونَ ثِيَابِي فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمْ، وَعَلَى لِبَاسِي يُلْقُونَ قُرْعَةً.

They divide my garments among them. They cast lots for my clothing.

١٩ 19 يَا رَبُّ، لَا تَتَبَاعَدْ عَنِّي. يَا قُوَّتِي أَسْرِعْ إِلَى نَجْدَتِي.

But do not be far off, LORD. You are my help. Hurry to help me!

٢٠ 20 أَنْقِذْ مِنَ السَّيْفِ نَفْسِي، وَمِنْ مَخَالِبِ الأَدْنِيَاءِ حَيَاتِي.

Deliver my soul from the sword, my precious life from the power of the dog.

٢١ 21 خَلِّصْنِي مِنْ فَمِ الأَسَدِ، وَمِنْ بَيْنِ قُرُونِ الثِّيرَانِ الْوَحْشِيَّةِ اسْتَجِبْ لِي.

Save me from the lion’s mouth! Yes, you have rescued me from the horns of the wild oxen.

٢٢ 22 أُعْلِنُ اسْمَكَ لإِخْوَتِي، وَأُسَبِّحُكَ فِي وَسَطِ الْجَمَاعَةِ.

I will declare your name to my brothers. Among the assembly, I will praise you.

٢٣ 23 سَبِّحُوا الرَّبَّ يَا خَائِفِيهِ. مَجِّدُوهُ يَا جَمِيعَ نَسْلِ يَعْقُوبَ، واخْشَوْهُ يَا جَمِيعَ ذُرِّيَّةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

You who fear the LORD, praise him! All you descendants of Jacob, glorify him! Stand in awe of him, all you descendants of Israel!

٢٤ 24 فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَحْتَقِرْ بُؤْسَ الْمِسْكِينِ، وَلَا حَجَبَ عَنْهُ وَجْهَهُ، بَلِ اسْتَجَابَ لَهُ عِنْدَمَا صَرَخَ إِلَيْهِ.

For he has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted, neither has he hidden his face from him; but when he cried to him, he heard.

٢٥ 25 أَنْتَ تُلْهِمُنِي تَسْبِيحَكَ فِي وَسَطِ الْجَمَاعَةِ الْعَظِيمَةِ، فَأُوْفِي بِنُذُورِي أَمَامَ جَمِيعِ خَائِفِيهِ.

My praise of you comes in the great assembly. I will pay my vows before those who fear him.

٢٦ 26 يَأْكُلُ الْوُدَعَاءُ وَيَشْبَعُونَ، وَطَالِبُو الرَّبِّ يُسَبِّحُونَهُ. تَحْيَا قُلُوبُكُمْ إِلَى الأَبَدِ.

The humble shall eat and be satisfied. They shall praise the LORD who seek after him. Let your hearts live forever.

٢٧ 27 تَتَذَكَّرُ جَمِيعُ أَقَاصِي الأَرْضِ وَتَرْجِعُ إِلَى الرَّبِّ، وَتَتَعَبَّدُ أَمَامَكَ جَمِيعُ قَبَائِلِ الأُمَمِ.

All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the LORD. All the relatives of the nations shall worship before you.

٢٨ 28 لأَنَّ الْمُلْكَ لِلرَّبِّ، وَهُوَ يَتَسَلَّطُ عَلَى الأُمَمِ.

For the kingdom is the LORD’s. He is the ruler over the nations.

٢٩ 29 جَمِيعُ عُظَمَاءِ الأَرْضِ يَحْتَفِلُونَ وَيَسْجُدُونَ. يَنْحَنِي أَمَامَهُ الْهَابِطُونَ إِلَى التُّرَابِ وَالْفَانُونَ،

All the rich ones of the earth shall eat and worship. All those who go down to the dust shall bow before him, even he who cannot keep his soul alive.

٣٠ 30 يَتَعَبَّدُ نَسْلُهُمْ لِلهِ، وَيَتَحَدَّثُونَ عَنِ الرَّبِّ لِلْجِيلِ الآتِي.

Posterity shall serve him. Future generations shall be told about the Lord.

٣١ 31 يَأْتُونَ وَيُخْبِرُونَ بِبِرِّهِ وَبِمُعْجِزَاتِهِ شَعْباً لَمْ يُولَدْ بَعْدُ.

They shall come and shall declare his righteousness to a people that shall be born, for he has done it.
