المَزامِير 50

١ 1 مَزْمُورٌ لآسَافَ الرَّبُّ الإِلَهُ الْقَدِيرُ تَكَلَّمَ، وَدَعَا الأَرْضَ لِلْمُحَاكَمَةِ مِنْ مَشْرِقِ الشَّمْسِ إِلَى مَغْرِبِهَا.

A psalm of Asaph. The Lord God has spoken: He summons the earth from sunrise to sunset.

٢ 2 مِنْ صِهْيَوْنَ الْكَامِلَةِ الْجَمَالِ أَشْرَقَ مَجْدُ اللهِ.

From Zion, perfection of beauty, God’s glory shines forth.

٣ 3 يَأْتِي إِلَهُنَا وَلَا يَصْمُتُ، تُحِيطُ بِهِ النَّارُ الآكِلَةُ وَالْعَوَاصِفُ الثَّائِرَةُ.

Our God comes, he cannot keep silence, devouring fire is before him, and furious tempest around him.

٤ 4 يُنَادِي السَّمَاوَاتِ مِنَ الْعُلَى، وَالأَرْضَ أَيْضاً مِنْ تَحْتُ لِكَيْ يَدِينَ شَعْبَهُ، قَائِلاً:

He summons the heavens above and the earth to judge his people.

٥ 5 «اجْمَعُوا إِلَيَّ أَتْقِيَائِي الَّذِينَ قَطَعُوا مَعِي عَهْداً عَلَى ذَبِيحَةٍ».

Gather to him his saints by covenant-sacrifice bound to him;

٦ 6 فَتُذِيعُ السَّمَاوَاتُ عَدْلَهُ لأَنَّ اللهَ هُوَ الدَّيَّانُ.

that the heavens may declare his justice, for a God of justice is he. (Selah)

٧ 7 اسْمَعْ يَا شَعْبِي فَأَتَكَلَّمَ. يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ إِنِّي أَشْهَدُ عَلَيْكَ: «أَنَا اللهُ إِلَهُكَ.

“Hear, O my people, and I will speak, and protest to you, O Israel: I am the Lord, your God.

٨ 8 لَسْتُ أُوَبِّخُكَ عَلَى ذَبَائِحِكَ فَإِنَّ مُحْرَقَاتِكَ هِيَ دَائِماً قُدَّامِي.

Not for your sacrifices will I reprove you your burnt-offerings are ever before me

٩ 9 فَمَا كُنْتُ لِآخُذَ مِنْ بَيْتِكَ ثَوْراً وَلَا مِنْ حَظَائِرِكَ تَيْساً.

Not a bullock will I take from your house, nor male goats out of your folds;

١٠ 10 لأَنَّ جَمِيعَ حَيَوَانَاتِ الْغَابَةِ مِلْكِي، وَكَذَلِكَ الْبَهَائِمَ الْمُنْتَشِرَةَ عَلَى أُلُوفِ الْجِبَالِ.

for all beasts of the forest are mine, and the kine on a thousand hills.

١١ 11 أَنَا عَالِمٌ بِجَمِيعِ طُيُورِ الْجِبَالِ، وَكُلُّ مَخْلُوقَاتِ الْبَرَارِي هِيَ لِي.

I know all the birds of the air, all that moves on the fields is mine.

١٢ 12 إِنْ جُعْتُ لَا أَلْتَمِسُ مِنْكَ حَاجَتِي لأَنَّ لِيَ الْمَسْكُونَةَ وَكُلَّ مَا فِيهَا.

Were I hungry, I would not tell you, for the world and its fulness are mine.

١٣ 13 هَلْ آكُلُ لَحْمَ الثِّيرَانِ، أَوْ أَشْرَبُ دَمَ التُّيُوسِ؟

Am I such as to eat bulls’ flesh, or drink the blood of goats?

١٤ 14 قَدِّمْ لِلهِ ذَبَائِحَ الْحَمْدِ وَأَوْفِ الْعَلِيَّ عُهُودَكَ.

Offer to God a thank-offering, pay the Most High your vows.

١٥ 15 ادْعُنِي فِي يَوْمِ ضِيقِكَ أُنْقِذْكَ فَتُمَجِّدَنِي».

Summon me in the day of distress, I will rescue you, so will you honor me.”

١٦ 16 وَقَالَ اللهُ لِلشِّرِّيرِ: «بِأَيِّ حَقٍّ تُحَدِّثُ بِأَحْكَامِي، وَلِمَاذَا تَتَكَلَّمُ عَنْ عَهْدِي،

But to the wicked God says: “What right have you to talk of my statutes, or take my covenant into your mouth

١٧ 17 وَأَنْتَ تَمْقُتُ التَّأْدِيبَ وَلَا تَكْتَرِثُ لِكَلامِي؟

while you yourself hate correction, and cast my words behind you?

١٨ 18 تَرَى سَارِقاً فَتُوَافِقُهُ، وَمَعَ الزُّنَاةِ نَصِيبُكَ.

When you see a thief, you run with them; with adulterers you keep company.

١٩ 19 أَطْلَقْتَ فَمَكَ بِالشَّرِّ وَلِسَانُكَ يَخْتَرِعُ غِشّاً.

You let your mouth loose for evil, your tongue contrives deceit.

٢٠ 20 تَجْلِسُ تُشَهِّرُ بِأَخِيكَ، وَعَلَى ابْنِ أُمِّكَ تَفْتَرِي.

You shamefully speak of your kin, and slander your own mother’s son.

٢١ 21 هَذِهِ كُلَّهَا فَعَلْتَ وَأَنَا سَكَتُّ، فَظَنَنْتَ أَنِّي مِثْلُكَ. غَيْرَ أَنِّي أُوَبِّخُكَ وَأَصُفُّ إِثْمَكَ أَمَامَ عَيْنَيْكَ.

And because I kept silence at this, you did take me for one like yourself. But I will convict you and show you plainly.

٢٢ 22 وَالآنَ تَنَبَّهُوا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُونَ اللهَ، لِئَلّا أُمَزِّقَكُمْ وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يُنْقِذُكُمْ.

“Now you who forget God, mark this, lest I rend you, past hope of deliverance.

٢٣ 23 أَمَّا مَنْ يُقَدِّمُ لِي ذَبِيحَةَ حَمْدٍ فَهُوَ يُمَجِّدُنِي، وَمَنْ يُقَوِّمُ طَرِيقَهُ أُرِيهِ خَلاصَ اللهِ».

Those who bring a thank-offering honor me; but to those: who follows my way, I will show the salvation of God.”
