المَزامِير 74
| مَزْمُورٌ تَعْلِيمِيٌّ لآسَافَ يَا اللهُ لِمَاذَا نَبَذْتَنَا إِلَى الأَبَدِ؟ لِمَاذَا ثَارَ غَضَبُكَ الشَّدِيدُ عَلَى غَنَمِ مَرْعَاكَ؟ | ١ 1 |
A contemplation by Asaph. God, why have you rejected us forever? Why does your anger smolder against the sheep of your pasture?
| اذْكُرْ جَمَاعَتَكَ الَّتِي اقْتَنَيْتَهَا مُنْذُ الْقِدَمِ، وَالَّتِي افْتَدَيْتَهَا لِتَجْعَلَهَا سِبْطَ مِيرَاثِكَ. اذْكُرْ جَبَلَ صِهْيَوْنَ الَّذِي أَقَمْتَ فِيهِ. | ٢ 2 |
Remember your congregation, which you purchased of old, which you have redeemed to be the tribe of your inheritance: Mount Zion, in which you have lived.
| سِرْ يَا رَبُّ مُسْرِعاً وَسَطَ هَذِهِ الْخَرَائِبِ الدَّائِمَةِ، فَإِنَّ الْعَدُوَّ قَدْ دَمَّرَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ فِي بَيْتِكَ الْمُقَدَّسِ. | ٣ 3 |
Lift up your feet to the perpetual ruins, all the evil that the enemy has done in the sanctuary.
| إِنَّ خُصُومَكَ يُزَمْجِرُونَ فِي وَسَطِ مَحْفَلِكَ، وَيَنْصِبُونَ أَصْنَامَهُمْ شَارَاتٍ لِلنَّصْرِ. | ٤ 4 |
Your adversaries have roared in the middle of your assembly. They have set up their standards as signs.
| يَظْهَرُ الْعَدُوُّ كَأَنَّهُ يَهْوِي بِالْفُؤُوسِ عَلَى الأَشْجَارِ الْكَثِيفَةِ. | ٥ 5 |
They behaved like men wielding axes, cutting through a thicket of trees.
| هَدَمُوا مَنْقُوشَاتِهِ كُلَّهَا بِالْمَطَارِقِ وَالْمَعَاوِلِ. | ٦ 6 |
Now they break all its carved work down with hatchet and hammers.
| أَضْرَمُوا النَّارَ فِي مَقْدِسِكَ، وَدَنَّسُوهُ إِذْ قَوَّضُوا مَقَرَّ اسْمِكَ إِلَى الأَرْضِ. | ٧ 7 |
They have burned your sanctuary to the ground. They have profaned the dwelling place of your Name.
| قَالُوا فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ: لِنُبِدْهُمْ جَمِيعاً. وَأَحْرَقُوا كُلَّ مَحَافِلِ اللهِ فِي الْبِلادِ. | ٨ 8 |
They said in their heart, “We will crush them completely.” They have burned up all the places in the land where God was worshiped.
| لَمْ نَعُدْ نَشْهَدُ رُمُوزَ عِبَادَتِنَا، وَلَمْ يَبْقَ نَبِيٌّ بَعْدُ، وَلَيْسَ بَيْنَنَا مَنْ يَعْرِفُ مَتَى تَكُونُ خَاتِمَةُ الأَمْرِ. | ٩ 9 |
We see no miraculous signs. There is no longer any prophet, neither is there among us anyone who knows how long.
| يَا اللهُ: إِلَى مَتَى يُعَيِّرُنَا الْخَصْمُ؟ أَيَظَلُّ الْعَدُوُّ يَسْتَهِينُ بِاسْمِكَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ؟ | ١٠ 10 |
How long, God, shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy blaspheme your name forever?
| لِمَاذَا تَرْفُضُ أَنْ تَمُدَّ يَدَ الْعَوْنِ؟ لِمَاذَا تُبْقِي يَمِينَكَ خَلْفَكَ؟ أَخْرِجْهَا وَأَفْنِهِمْ. | ١١ 11 |
Why do you draw back your hand, even your right hand? Take it from your chest and consume them!
| إِنَّمَا اللهُ مَلِكِي مُنْذُ الْقَدِيمِ، صَانِعُ الْخَلاصِ فِي وَسَطِ الأَرْضِ. | ١٢ 12 |
Yet God is my King of old, working salvation throughout the earth.
| أَنْتَ فَلَقْتَ الْبَحْرَ بِقُوَّتِكَ وَحَطَّمْتَ رُؤُوسَ التَّنَانِينِ. | ١٣ 13 |
You divided the sea by your strength. You broke the heads of the sea monsters in the waters.
| أَنْتَ مَزَّقْتَ رُؤُوسَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَجَيْشِهِ، وَجَعَلْتَهُ قُوتاً لِلْحَيَوَانَاتِ الْمُتَوَحِّشَةِ | ١٤ 14 |
You broke the heads of Leviathan in pieces. You gave him as food to people and desert creatures.
| فَجَّرْتَ نَبْعاً وَجَدْوَلاً، وَجَفَّفْتَ أَنْهَاراً دَائِمَةَ الْجَرَيَانِ. | ١٥ 15 |
You opened up spring and stream. You dried up mighty rivers.
| لَكَ النَّهَارُ وَاللَّيْلُ أَيْضاً. أَنْتَ كَوَّنْتَ الْكَوَاكِبَ الْمُنِيرَةَ وَالشَّمْسَ. | ١٦ 16 |
The day is yours, the night is also yours. You have prepared the light and the sun.
| نَصَبْتَ حُدُودَ الأَرْضِ، وَخَلَقْتَ الصَّيْفَ وَالشِّتَاءَ. | ١٧ 17 |
You have set all the boundaries of the earth. You have made summer and winter.
| إِنَّمَا اذْكُرْ أَنَّ عَدُوّاً قَدْ عَيَّرَ الرَّبَّ، وَشَعْباً جَاهِلاً قَدِ اسْتَهَانَ بِاسْمِكَ. | ١٨ 18 |
Remember this, that the enemy has mocked you, LORD. Foolish people have blasphemed your name.
| لَا تُسَلِّمْ لِلْوَحْشِ نَفْسَ شَعْبِكَ الضَّعِيفِ، وَلَا تَنْسَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ حَيَاةَ جُمْهُورِكَ الْمُضْطَهَدِ. | ١٩ 19 |
Do not deliver the soul of your dove to wild beasts. Do not forget the life of your poor forever.
| اذْكُرِ الْعَهْدَ الَّذِي قَطَعْتَهُ لَنَا، فَإِنَّ الظُّلْمَ كَامِنٌ فِي كُلِّ رُكْنٍ مُظْلِمٍ مِنَ الأَرْضِ. | ٢٠ 20 |
Honor your covenant, for haunts of violence fill the dark places of the earth.
| لَا تَدَعِ الْمُنْسَحِقَ يَرْجِعُ بِالْخِزْيِ، بَلْ لِيُسَبِّحِ اسْمَكَ الْفَقِيرُ وَالْبَائِسُ. | ٢١ 21 |
Do not let the oppressed return ashamed. Let the poor and needy praise your name.
| قُمْ يَا اللهُ وَدَافِعْ عَنْ دَعْوَاكَ. اذْكُرْ كَيْفَ يُعَيِّرُكَ الْجَاهِلُ طُولَ النَّهَارِ. | ٢٢ 22 |
Arise, God! Plead your own cause. Remember how the foolish man mocks you all day.
| لَا تَنْسَ أَصْوَاتَ خُصُومِكَ، فَإِنَّ ضَجِيجَ الثَّائِرِينَ عَلَيْكَ يَتَصَاعَدُ دَائِماً. | ٢٣ 23 |
Do not forget the voice of your adversaries. The tumult of those who rise up against you ascends continually.
