المَزامِير 35
| لِدَاوُدَ يَا رَبُّ كُنْ خَصْماً لِمَنْ يُخَاصِمُونَنِي، وَحَارِبِ الَّذِينَ يُحَارِبُونَنِي. | ١ 1 |
“A psalm of David.” Contend, O LORD! with them that contend with me! Fight against them that fight against me!
| تَقَلَّدِ التُّرْسَ وَالدِّرْعَ وَهُبَّ لِنَجْدَتِي. | ٢ 2 |
Take hold of shield and buckler, And stand up for my help!
| جَرِّدْ رُمْحاً وَتَصَدَّ لِمُطَارِدِيَّ، وَقُلْ لِنَفْسِي: خَلاصُكِ أَنَا. | ٣ 3 |
Draw forth the spear and the axe against my persecutors; Say to me, “I am thy salvation.”
| لِيَخْزَ وَلْيَخْجَلِ السَّاعُونَ إِلَى قَتْلِي. لِيَنْهَزِمْ وَيَخْجَلِ الْمُتَوَاطِئُونَ عَلَى أَذِيَّتِي. | ٤ 4 |
May they be confounded and put to shame, who seek my life; May they be turned back with disgrace, who devise my hurt!
| لِيَكُونُوا مِثْلَ ذَرَّاتِ التِّبْنِ فِي مَهَبِّ الرِّيحِ. وَلْيَدْحَرْهُمْ مَلاكُ الرَّبِّ. | ٥ 5 |
May they be like dust before the wind; May the angel of the LORD drive them!
| لِتَكُنْ طَرِيقُهُمْ مُظْلِمَةً وَزَلِقَةً، وَلْيَتَعَقَّبْهُمْ مَلاكُ الرَّبِّ. | ٦ 6 |
May their way be dark and slippery, And may the angel of the LORD pursue them!
| فَإِنَّهُمْ مِنْ غَيْرِ سَبَبٍ أَخْفَوْا لِي شَبَكَةً فَوْقَ الْهُوَّةِ، وَمِنْ غَيْرِ عِلَّةٍ حَفَرُوا لِي حُفْرَةً. | ٧ 7 |
For without cause they have laid for me a snare; Without cause they have digged for me a pit.
| لِيُطْبِقِ الْهَلاكُ فَجْأَةً عَلَى عَدُوِّي، وَلْتُمْسِكْ بِهِ الشَّبَكَةُ الَّتِي أَخْفَاهَا، فَيَهْلِكَ فِيهَا. | ٨ 8 |
May unforeseen destruction come upon them! May the snare which they have laid lay hold on themselves, And may they fall into destruction!
| أَمَّا نَفْسِي فَتَفْرَحُ بِالرَّبِّ وَتَبْتَهِجُ بِخَلاصِهِ. | ٩ 9 |
Then shall my soul rejoice in the LORD; It shall exult in his protection.
| جَمِيعُ عِظَامِي تَقُولُ: يَا رَبُّ مَنْ مِثْلُكَ، المُخَلِّصُ الْمِسْكِينَ مِمَّنْ هُوَ أَقْوَى مِنْهُ وَمُنْقِذُ الْفَقِيرِ وَالْبَائِسِ مِنْ يَدِ نَاهِبِهِ؟ | ١٠ 10 |
All my bones shall say, Who, O LORD! is like thee, Who dost rescue the afflicted from the oppressor, The afflicted and destitute from the spoiler?
| يَقُومُ عَلَيَّ شُهُودُ زُورٍ يَتَّهِمُونَنِي ظُلْماً بِمَا لَا أَعْلَمُ. | ١١ 11 |
False witnesses have risen up; They charge me with that which has not entered my mind.
| يُجَازُونَنِي عَنِ الْخَيْرِ شَرّاً إِتْعَاساً لِنَفْسِي. | ١٢ 12 |
They repay me evil for good; They cause bereavement to my soul.
| أَمَّا أَنَا فَقَدْ لَبِسْتُ الْمِسْحَ حُزْناً عَلَى مَرَضِهِمْ، وَأَذْلَلْتُ نَفْسِي بِالصَّوْمِ، وَلَكِنَّ صَلاتِي كَانَتْ تَرْتَدُّ إِلَى صَدْرِي مِنْ غَيْرِ اسْتِجَابَةٍ. | ١٣ 13 |
And yet I, during their sickness, clothed myself with sackcloth, And afflicted myself with fasting; And my prayer was turned to my bosom.
| لَقَدْ عَامَلْتُ كُلًّا مِنْهُمْ كَأَنَّهُ صَدِيقِي وَأَخِي، وَأَطْرَقْتُ حُزْناً كَمَنْ يَنْدُبُ أُمَّهُ. | ١٤ 14 |
I behaved myself as if he had been my friend or brother; I bowed down in sadness, as one mourning for his mother.
| وَأَمَّا هُمْ فَشَمِتُوا فَرَحاً عِنْدَ سَقْطَتِي، وَتَجَمَّعُوا عَلَيَّ شَاتِمِينَ، وَشَرَعَ غُرَبَاءُ لَا أَعْرِفُهُمْ يَضْرِبُونَنِي. مَزَّقُونِي وَلَمْ يَرْتَدِعُوا. | ١٥ 15 |
But at my fall they rejoice, and gather themselves together; Revilers whom I know not assemble themselves against me; They tear me without ceasing.
| كَفُجَّارٍ مَاجِنِينَ مُجْتَمِعِينَ حَوْلَ وَلِيمَةٍ حَرَّقُوا عَلَيَّ أَسْنَانَهُمْ. | ١٦ 16 |
With base men who mock for their bread, They gnash at me with their teeth.
| يَا سَيِّدُ، حَتَّى مَتَى تَظَلُّ مُتَفَرِّجاً؟ نَجِّ نَفْسِي مِنْ مَهَالِكِهِمْ وَخَلِّصْ حَيَاتِي مِنْ بَيْنِ الأَشْبَالِ. | ١٧ 17 |
How long, O LORD! wilt thou look on? O rescue my life from the destruction they plot for me; My precious life from these young lions!
| أَشْكُرُكَ فِي جَمَاعَةِ الْعَابِدِينَ، وَأَحْمَدُكَ فِي وَسَطِ حُشُودٍ كَثِيرَةٍ. | ١٨ 18 |
I will thank thee in the great assembly! Before a numerous people I will praise thee.
| لَا يَشْمَتْ بِي أَعْدَائِي بِحُجَّةٍ بَاطِلَةٍ، وَلَا يَتَغَامَزْ مُبْغِضِيَّ عَلَيَّ، بِغَيْرِ عِلَّةٍ. | ١٩ 19 |
Let not them that are my enemies wrongfully triumph over me; Let them not wink with the eye, who hate me without cause!
| فَإِنَّهُمْ لَا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِالسَّلامِ، وَلَكِنَّهُمْ يَتَآمَرُونَ بِمَكْرٍ لِلإِيقَاعِ بِالْمُسَالِمِينَ السَّاكِنِينَ فِي الأَرْضِ. | ٢٠ 20 |
For they speak not peace; They devise deceit against them that are quiet in the land.
| فَغَرُوا علَيَّ أَفْوَاهَهُمْ عَلَى وِسْعِهَا، وَقَالُوا: «هَهْ! هَهْ! قَدْ رَأَيْنَا بِأَعْيُنِنَا (مَا فَعَلْتَ).» | ٢١ 21 |
Yea, they open their mouths wide against me; They say, “Aha, aha! our eyes seeth it.”
| قَدْ رَأَيْتَ يَا رَبُّ ذَلِكَ. لَا تَسْكُتْ وَلَا تَبْتَعِدْ عَنِّي. | ٢٢ 22 |
Thou seest it, O LORD! be not silent! O LORD! be not far from me!
| انْهَضْ يَا إِلَهِي وَسَيِّدِي وَاسْتَيْقِظْ لإِحْقَاقِ حَقِّي وَإِنْصَافِ دَعْوَايَ. | ٢٣ 23 |
Arouse thyself; awake for my defence! My God and my Lord, awake to my cause!
| احْكُمْ بِبَرَاءَتِي يَا رَبُّ يَا إِلَهِي حَسَبَ عَدْلِكَ، وَلَا تَدَعْهُمْ يَشْمَتُونَ بِي. | ٢٤ 24 |
Judge me according to thy righteousness, O Jehovah, my God! Let them not triumph over me!
| لِئَلّا يَقُولُوا فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ: «هَهْ! قَدْ ظَفِرْنَا بِهِ» أَوْ يَقُولُوا: «قَدِ ابْتَلَعْنَاهُ!» | ٢٥ 25 |
Let them not say in their hearts, “Aha! we have our wish!” Let them not say, “We have swallowed him up!”
| لِيَخْزَ وَيَخْجَلْ جَمِيعُ الشَّامِتِينَ بِي فِي مُصِيبَتِي. لِيَرْتَدِ الْمُتَعَظِّمُونَ عَلَيَّ لِبَاسَ الْخِزْيِ وَالْعَارِ. | ٢٦ 26 |
May they all be confounded and brought to shame, Who rejoice at my calamity! May they be clothed with ignominy and disgrace, Who exalt themselves against me!
| وَلْيَهْتِفِ الْمَسْرُورُونَ بِبِرِّي بِهُتَافِ الْفَرَحِ وَالابْتِهَاجِ، قَائِلِينَ فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ: «لِيَتَمَجَّدِ الرَّبُّ الَّذِي يَبْتَهِجُ بِنَجَاحِ عَبْدِهِ». | ٢٧ 27 |
Let them shout for joy, and be glad, Who favor my righteous cause; Let them ever say, “The LORD be praised, Who delighteth in the prosperity of his servant!”
| فَيُذِيعَ لِسَانِي عَدْلَكَ، وَيَتَرَنَّمَ بِحَمْدِكَ النَّهَارَ كُلَّهُ. | ٢٨ 28 |
So shall my tongue speak of thy righteousness, And daily repeat thy praise.
