المَزامِير 22

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

To the chief Musician upon Aijeleth Shahar, A Psalm of David. My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? [why art thou so] far from helping me, [and from] the words of my roaring?

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

O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent.

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

But thou [art] holy, [O thou] that inhabitest the praises of Israel.

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

Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.

٥ 5 إِلَيْكَ صَرَخُوا فَنَجَوْا، وَعَلَيْكَ اتَّكَلُوا فَلَمْ يَخْزَوْا.

They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.

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 of the people.

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

All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, [saying],

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

He trusted on the LORD [that] he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.

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

But thou [art] he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope [when I was] upon my mother’s breasts.

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

I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou [art] my God from my mother’s belly.

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

Be not far from me; for trouble [is] near; for [there is] none to help.

١٢ 12 حَاصَرَنِي أَعْدَاءُ أَقْوِيَاءُ، كَأَنَّهُمْ ثِيرَانُ بَاشَانَ الْقَوِيَّةُ.

Many bulls have compassed me: strong [bulls] of Bashan have beset me round.

١٣ 13 فَغَرُوا عَلَيَّ أَفْوَاهَهُم كَأَنَّهُمْ أُسُودٌ مُفْتَرِسَةٌ مُزَمْجِرَةٌ.

They gaped upon me [with] their mouths, [as] a ravening and a roaring lion.

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

I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.

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

My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.

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

For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.

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

I may tell all my bones: they look [and] stare upon me.

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

They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.

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

But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee to help me.

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

Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling 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: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.

٢٢ 22 أُعْلِنُ اسْمَكَ لإِخْوَتِي، وَأُسَبِّحُكَ فِي وَسَطِ الْجَمَاعَةِ.

I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.

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

Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.

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

For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard.

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

My praise [shall be] of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him.

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

The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.

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

All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.

٢٨ 28 لأَنَّ الْمُلْكَ لِلرَّبِّ، وَهُوَ يَتَسَلَّطُ عَلَى الأُمَمِ.

For the kingdom [is] the LORD’s: and he [is] the governor among the nations.

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

All [they that be] fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul.

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

A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.

٣١ 31 يَأْتُونَ وَيُخْبِرُونَ بِبِرِّهِ وَبِمُعْجِزَاتِهِ شَعْباً لَمْ يُولَدْ بَعْدُ.

They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done [this].
