المَزامِير 38

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

A Psalm of David, to make memorial. O LORD, rebuke me not in Thine anger; neither chasten me in Thy wrath.

٢ 2 لأَنَّ سِهَامَكَ قَدْ أَصَابَتْنِي وَضَرَبَاتِكَ قَدْ ثَقُلَتْ عَلَيَّ.

For Thine arrows are gone deep into me, and Thy hand is come 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; neither is there any health 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 are noisome, they fester, because of my foolishness.

٦ 6 انْحَنَيْتُ وَالْتَوَيْتُ. وَدَامَ نَحِيبِي طُولَ النَّهَارِ.

I am bent and bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day.

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

For my loins are filled with burning; and there is no soundness in my flesh.

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

I am benumbed and sore crushed; I groan by reason of the moaning 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 fluttereth, my strength faileth me; as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.

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

My friends and my companions stand aloof from my plague; and my kinsmen stand afar off.

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

They also that seek after my life lay snares for me; and they that seek my hurt speak crafty devices, and utter deceits all the day.

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

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

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

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

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

For in Thee, O LORD, 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: 'Lest they rejoice over me; when my foot slippeth, they magnify 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 do declare mine iniquity; I am full of care because of my sin.

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

But mine enemies are strong in health; and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.

٢٠ 20 وَالَّذِينَ يُجَازُونَ الْخَيْرَ بِالشَّرِّ يُقَاوِمُونَنِي لأَنِّي أَتْبَعُ الصَّلاحَ.

They also that repay evil for good are adversaries unto me, because I follow the thing that is good.

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

Forsake me not, O LORD; 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.
