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 end, concerning the morning aid, a Psalm of David. O God, my God, attend to me: why have you forsaken me? the account of my transgressions is far from my salvation.

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

O my God, I will cry to you by day, but you will not hear: and by night, and [it shall] not [be accounted] for folly to me.

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

But you, the praise of Israel, dwell in a sanctuary.

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

Our fathers hoped in you; they hoped, and you did deliver them.

٥ 5 إِلَيْكَ صَرَخُوا فَنَجَوْا، وَعَلَيْكَ اتَّكَلُوا فَلَمْ يَخْزَوْا.

They cried to you, and were saved: they hoped in you, and were not ashamed.

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

But I am a worm, and not a man; a reproach of men, and scorn of the people.

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

All that saw me mocked me: they spoke with [their] lips, they shook the head, [saying],

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

He hoped in the Lord: let him deliver him, let him save him, because he takes pleasure in him.

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

For you are he that drew me out of the womb; my hope from my mother's breasts.

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

I was cast on you from the womb: you are my God from my mother's belly.

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

Stand not aloof from me; for affliction is near; for there is no helper.

١٢ 12 حَاصَرَنِي أَعْدَاءُ أَقْوِيَاءُ، كَأَنَّهُمْ ثِيرَانُ بَاشَانَ الْقَوِيَّةُ.

Many bullocks have compassed me: fat bulls have beset me round.

١٣ 13 فَغَرُوا عَلَيَّ أَفْوَاهَهُم كَأَنَّهُمْ أُسُودٌ مُفْتَرِسَةٌ مُزَمْجِرَةٌ.

They have opened their mouth against me, as a ravening and 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 loosened: my heart in the midst of my belly is become like melting wax.

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

My strength is dried up, like a potsherd; and my tongue is glued to my throat; and you have brought me down to the dust of death.

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

For many dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked doers has beset me round: they pierced my hands and my feet.

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

They counted all my bones; and they observed and looked upon me.

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

They parted my garments [among] themselves, and cast lots upon my raiment.

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

But you, O Lord, remove not my help afar off: be ready for mine aid.

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

Deliver my soul from the sword; my only-begotten one 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; and [regard] my lowliness from the horns of the unicorns.

٢٢ 22 أُعْلِنُ اسْمَكَ لإِخْوَتِي، وَأُسَبِّحُكَ فِي وَسَطِ الْجَمَاعَةِ.

I will declare your name to my brethren: in the midst of the church will I sing praise to you.

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

You that fear the Lord, praise him; all you seed of Jacob, glorify him: let all the seed of Israel fear him.

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

For he has not despised nor been angry at the supplication of the poor; nor turned away his face from me; but when I cried to him, he heard me.

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

My praise is of you 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 poor shall eat and be satisfied; and they shall praise the Lord that seek him: their heart shall live for ever.

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: and all the kindred of the nations shall worship before him.

٢٨ 28 لأَنَّ الْمُلْكَ لِلرَّبِّ، وَهُوَ يَتَسَلَّطُ عَلَى الأُمَمِ.

For the kingdom is the Lord's; and he is the governor of the nations.

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

All the fat ones of the earth have eaten and worshipped: all that go down to the earth shall fall down before him: my soul also lives to him.

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

And my seed shall serve him: the generation that is coming shall be reported to the Lord.

٣١ 31 يَأْتُونَ وَيُخْبِرُونَ بِبِرِّهِ وَبِمُعْجِزَاتِهِ شَعْباً لَمْ يُولَدْ بَعْدُ.

And they shall report his righteousness to the people that shall be born, whom the Lord has made.
