المَزامِير 38

١ 1 مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ لِلتَّذْكِيرِ يَا رَبُّ لَا تُوَبِّخْنِي بِغَضَبِكَ، وَلَا تُؤَدِّبْنِي بِسَخَطِكَ،

A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance. Jehovah, rebuke me not in thy wrath; neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

٢ 2 لأَنَّ سِهَامَكَ قَدْ أَصَابَتْنِي وَضَرَبَاتِكَ قَدْ ثَقُلَتْ عَلَيَّ.

For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand cometh down upon me.

٣ 3 اعْتَلَّ جَسَدِي لِفَرْطِ غَضَبِكَ عَلَيَّ. وَبَلِيَتْ عِظَامِي بِسَبَبِ خَطِيئَتِي.

There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine indignation; no peace in my bones, because of my sin.

٤ 4 طَمَتْ آثَامِي فَوْقَ رَأْسِي. وَصَارَتْ كَعِبْءٍ ثَقِيلٍ لَا طَاقَةَ لِي عَلَى حَمْلِهِ.

For mine iniquities are gone over my head: as a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.

٥ 5 أَنْتَنَتْ جِرَاحِي وَسَالَ صَدِيدُهَا بِسَبَبِ جَهَالَتِي.

My wounds stink, they are corrupt, because of my foolishness.

٦ 6 انْحَنَيْتُ وَالْتَوَيْتُ. وَدَامَ نَحِيبِي طُولَ النَّهَارِ.

I am depressed; I am bowed down beyond measure; I go mourning all the day.

٧ 7 امْتلأَ دَاخِلِي بِأَلَمٍ حَارِقٍ، فَلَا صِحَّةَ فِي جَسَدِي.

For my loins are full of burning, and there is no soundness in my flesh.

٨ 8 أَنَا وَاهِنٌ وَمَسْحُوقٌ إِلَى الْغَايَةِ، وَأَئِنُّ مِنْ أَوْجَاعِ قَلْبِي الدَّفِينَةِ.

I am faint and broken beyond measure; I roar by reason of the agitation of my heart.

٩ 9 أَمَامَكَ يَا رَبُّ كُلُّ تَأَوُّهِي، وَتَنَهُّدِي مَكْشُوفٌ لَدَيْكَ.

Lord, all my desire is before thee, and my sighing is not hid from thee.

١٠ 10 خَفَقَ قَلْبِي وَفَارَقَتْنِي قُوَّتِي، وَاضْمَحَلَّ فِيَّ نُورُ عَيْنَيَّ.

My heart throbbeth, my strength hath left me; and the light of mine eyes, it also is no more with me.

١١ 11 وَقَفَ أَحِبَّائِي وَأَصْحَابِي مُسْتَنْكِفِينَ مِنِّي بِسَبَبِ مُصِيبَتِي، وَتَنَحَّى أَقَارِبِي عَنِّي.

My lovers and mine associates stand aloof from my stroke; and my kinsmen stand afar off.

١٢ 12 نَصَبَ السَّاعُونَ لِقَتْلِي الْفِخَاخَ، وَطَالِبُو أَذِيَّتِي تَوَعَّدُوا بِدَمَارِي، وَتَآمَرُوا طُولَ النَّهَارِ لِلإِيقَاعِ بِي.

And they that seek after my life lay snares [for me]; and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and meditate deceits all the day long.

١٣ 13 أَمَّا أَنَا فَقَدْ كُنْتُ كَأَصَمَّ، لَا يَسْمَعُ، وَكَأَخْرَسَ لَا يَفْتَحُ فَاهُ.

But I, as a deaf [man], hear not; and am as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.

١٤ 14 كُنْتُ كَمَنْ لَا يَسْمَعُ، وَكَمَنْ لَيْسَ فِي فَمِهِ حُجَّةٌ.

Yea, I am as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.

١٥ 15 لأَنِّي قَدْ وَضَعْتُ فِيكَ رَجَائِي، وَأَنْتَ تَسْتَجِيبُنِي يَا رَبُّ يَا إِلَهِي.

For in thee, Jehovah, do I hope: thou wilt answer, O Lord my God.

١٦ 16 قُلْتُ: «لَا تَدَعْهُمْ يَشْمَتُونَ بِي فَحَالَمَا زَلَّتْ قَدَمِي تَغَطْرَسُوا عَلَيَّ»

For I said, Let them not rejoice over me! When my foot slipped, they magnified [themselves] against me.

١٧ 17 لأَنِّي أَكَادُ أَتَعَثَّرُ، وَوَجَعِي دَائِماً أَمَامَ نَاظِرِي.

For I am ready to halt, and my pain is continually before me.

١٨ 18 أَعْتَرِفُ جَهْراً بِإِثْمِي، وأَحْزَنُ مِنْ أَجْلِ خَطِيئَتِي.

For I will declare mine iniquity, I am grieved for my sin.

١٩ 19 أَمَّا أَعْدَائِي فَيَفِيضُونَ حَيَوِيَّةً. تَجَبَّرُوا وَكَثُرَ الَّذِينَ يُبْغِضُونَنِي ظُلْماً.

But mine enemies are lively, they are strong; and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied:

٢٠ 20 وَالَّذِينَ يُجَازُونَ الْخَيْرَ بِالشَّرِّ يُقَاوِمُونَنِي لأَنِّي أَتْبَعُ الصَّلاحَ.

And they that render evil for good are adversaries unto me; because I pursue what is good.

٢١ 21 لَا تَنْبِذْنِي يَا رَبُّ. يَا إِلَهِي لَا تَبْعُدْ عَنِّي.

Forsake me not, Jehovah; O my God, be not far from me.

٢٢ 22 أَسْرِعْ لِنَجْدَتِي يَا رَبُّ يَا مُخَلِّصِي.

Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation.
