المَزامِير 32

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

A psalm of David. How happy are those whose wrongs are forgiven, whose sins are covered.

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

How happy are those whose sins the Lord does not count against them, those who do not act deceptively.

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

When I kept quiet, my body fell apart as I groaned in distress all day long.

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

You beat me day and night, my strength dried up as in the heat of summer. (Selah)

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

Then I confessed my sins to you. I did not hide the wrongs I had done. I said to myself, “I will confess my disobedience to the Lord,” and you forgave the guilt of my sins. (Selah)

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

Therefore let all who are faithful pray to you while there's time, so when trouble comes in like a flood it will not overwhelm them.

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

For you are my refuge, you protect me from trouble. You surround me with songs of salvation. (Selah)

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

“I will instruct you, teaching you the way to follow. I will advise you, watching out for you.

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

You mustn't be like a horse or a mule that doesn't know which way to go without a bit or a bridle. Otherwise they can't be controlled.”

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

The wicked have many problems, but those who trust in the Lord will be surrounded by his never-failing love.

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

So be happy in the Lord and celebrate, you who do good. Shout for joy, all you who live right!
