المَزامِير 32

١ 1 لِدَاوُدَ. مَزْمُورٌ تَعْلِيمِيٌّ. طُوبَى لِلَّذِي غُفِرَتْ آثَامُهُ وَسُتِرَتْ خَطَايَاهُ.

[A Psalm] of instruction by David. Blessed [are they] whose transgressions are forgiven, and who sins are covered.

٢ 2 طُوبَى لِلرَّجُلِ الَّذِي لَا يَحْسِبُ لَهُ الرَّبُّ خَطِيئَةً، وَلَيْسَ فِي رُوحِهِ غِشٌّ.

Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin, and whose mouth there is no guile.

٣ 3 حِينَ سَكَتُّ عَنِ الاعْتِرَافِ بِالذَّنْبِ بَلِيَتْ عِظَامِي فِي تَأَوُّهِي النَّهَارَ كُلَّهُ،

Because I kept silence, my bones waxed old, from my crying all the day.

٤ 4 فَقَدْ كَانَتْ يَدُكَ ثَقِيلَةً عَلَيَّ نَهَاراً وَلَيْلاً، حَتَّى تَحَوَّلَتْ نَضَارَتِي إِلَى جَفَافِ حَرِّ الصَّيْفِ

For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: I became thoroughly miserable while a thorn was fastened in [me]. (Pause)

٥ 5 أَعْتَرِفُ لَكَ بِخَطِيئَتِي، وَلَا أَكْتُمُ إِثْمِي. قُلْتُ: أَعْتَرِفُ لِلرَّبِّ بِمَعَاصِيَّ، حَقّاً صَفَحْتَ عَنْ إِثْمِ خَطِيئَتِي

I acknowledged my sin, and hid not mine iniquity: I said, I will confess mine iniquity to the Lord against myself; and thou forgavest the ungodliness of my heart. (Pause)

٦ 6 لِهَذَا لِيَعْتَرِفْ لَكَ كُلُّ تَقِيٍّ بِخَطَايَاهُ وَقْتَمَا يَجِدُكَ فلَا تَبْلُغَ إِلَيْهِ سُيُولُ التَّجَارِبِ الطَّامِيَةِ.

Therefore shall every holy one pray to thee in a fit time: only in the deluge of many waters they shall not come nigh to him.

٧ 7 أَنْتَ سِتْرٌ لِي، فِي الضِّيقِ تَحْرُسُنِي. بِتَرَانِيمِ بَهْجَةِ النَّجَاةِ تُطَوِّقُنِي.

Thou art my refuge from the affliction that encompasses me; my joy, to deliver me from them that have compassed me. (Pause)

٨ 8 يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ: أُعَلِّمُكَ وَأُرْشِدُكَ الطَّرِيقَ الَّتِي تَسْلُكُهَا. أَنْصَحُكَ. عَيْنِي تَرْعَاكَ.

I will instruct thee and guide thee in this way wherein thou shalt go: I will fix mine eyes upon thee.

٩ 9 لَا تَكُونُوا بِلَا عَقْلٍ كَالْحِصَانِ وَالْبَغْلِ؛ الَّذِي لَا يُطِيعُ إلّا إذَا ضُبِطَ بِاللِّجَامِ وَقُيِّدَ بِالْحَبْلِ.

Be ye not as horse and mule, which have no understanding; [but thou must] constrain their jaws with bit and curb, lest they should come nigh to thee.

١٠ 10 كَثِيرَةٌ هِيَ أَوْجَاعُ الأَشْرَارِ. أَمَّا الْوَاثِقُ بِالرَّبِّ فَالرَّحْمَةُ تُحِيطُ بِهِ.

Many are the scourges of the sinner: but him that hopes in the Lord mercy shall compass about.

١١ 11 افْرَحُوا بِالرَّبِّ أَيُّهَا الأَبْرَارُ وَابْتَهِجُوا. اهْتِفُوا يَا جَمِيعَ الْمُسْتَقِيمِي الْقُلُوبِ.

Be glad in the Lord, and exult, ye righteous: and glory, all ye that are upright in heart.
