< المَزامِير 52 >
لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ. مَزْمُورٌ تَعْلِيمِيٌّ لِدَاوُدَ عِنْدَمَا أَخْبَرَ دُوَاغُ شَاوُلَ بِذَهَابِ دَاوُدَ إِلَى بَيْتِ أَخِيمَالِكَ. لِمَاذَا تَتَفَاخَرُ بِالشَّرِّ أَيُّهَا الْجَبَّارُ؟ إِنَّ رَحْمَةَ اللهِ تَدُومُ الْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ | ١ 1 |
“For the leader of the music. A psalm of David, when Doeg, the Edomite, came and told Saul, and said to him, David is come to the house of Abimelech.” Why gloriest thou in mischief, thou man of violence? The goodness of God yet continueth daily.
لِسَانُكَ يَخْتَرِعُ الْمَسَاوِئَ، وَيُمَارِسُ الْغِشَّ وَيَجْرَحُ كَالْمُوسَى الْمَسْنُونَةِ. | ٢ 2 |
Thy tongue deviseth mischief, Like a sharp razor, thou contriver of deceit!
أَحْبَبْتَ الشَّرَّ أَكْثَرَ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ، وَالْكَذِبَ أَكْثَرَ مِنَ الصِّدْقِ. | ٣ 3 |
Thou lovest evil more than good, And to lie more than to speak truth. (Pause)
أَحْبَبْتَ كُلَّ كَلامٍ مُهْلِكٍ أَيُّهَا اللِّسَانُ الْمُنَافِقُ. | ٤ 4 |
Thou lovest all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue!
حَقّاً سَيُدَمِّرُكَ اللهُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ، وَيَخْتَطِفُكَ وَيَقْتَلِعُكَ مِنْ خَيْمَتِكَ، وَيَسْتَأْصِلُكَ مِنْ أَرْضِ الأَحْيَاءِ. | ٥ 5 |
Thee also shall God utterly destroy! o He shall seize thee, and tear thee from thy dwelling-place, And uproot thee from the land of the living. (Pause)
فَيَرَى الأَبْرَارُ ذَلِكَ وَيَخَافُونَ؛ يَضْحَكُونَ عَلَيْكَ قَائِلِينَ: | ٦ 6 |
The righteous shall see and fear, And shall laugh at him.
هَذَا هُوَ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي لَمْ يَتَّخِذِ اللهَ حِصْناً لَهُ، بَلِ اتَّكَلَ عَلَى وَفْرَةِ غِنَاهُ وَاعْتَزَّ بِغِوَايَتِهِ. | ٧ 7 |
“Behold the man that made not God his strength, But trusted in the abundance of his riches, And placed his strength in his wickedness!”
أَمَّا أَنَا فَمِثْلُ زَيْتُونَةٍ خَضْرَاءَ فِي بَيْتِ اللهِ وَثِقْتُ بِرَحْمَةِ اللهِ إِلَى الدَّهْرِ وَالأَبَدِ. | ٨ 8 |
But I shall be like a green olive-tree in the house of God; I will trust in the goodness of God for ever and ever.
أَحْمَدُكَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ عَلَى مَا فَعَلْتَ، وَأَنْتَظِرُ اسْمَكَ الصَّالِحَ فِي مَحْضَرِ أَتْقِيَائِكَ. | ٩ 9 |
I will praise thee for ever for what thou hast done; I will trust in thy name, because it is good, Before the eyes of thy godly ones!
