المَزامِير 79

١ 1 مَزْمُورٌ لآسَافَ يَا اللهُ، إِنَّ الأُمَمَ قَدْ دَخَلَتْ مِيرَاثَكَ وَنَجَّسَتْ هَيْكَلَكَ الْمُقَدَّسَ وَجَعَلَتْ أُورُشَلِيمَ أَكْوَاماً.

O god, the heathen are come into your inheritance; your holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps.

٢ 2 جَعَلُوا جُثَثَ عَبِيدِكَ مَأْكَلاً لِطُيُورِ السَّمَاءِ، وَلُحُومَ قِدِّيسِيكَ لِوُحُوشِ الأَرْضِ.

The dead bodies of your servants have they given to be food unto the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of your saints unto the beasts of the earth.

٣ 3 سَفَكُوا دِمَاءَهُمْ كَالْمَاءِ حَوْلَ أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَلَيْسَ هُنَاكَ مَنْ يَدْفِنُهُمْ.

Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; and there was none to bury them.

٤ 4 قَدْ صِرْنَا عَاراً عِنْدَ جِيرَانِنَا، وَمَثَارَ هُزْءٍ وَأُضْحُوكَةً لِمَنْ حَوْلَنَا.

We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.

٥ 5 إِلَى مَتَى يَدُومُ هَذَا يَا رَبُّ؟ أَتَبْقَى غَاضِباً تَتَّقِدُ غَيْرَتُكَ كَالنَّارِ إِلَى الأَبَدِ؟

How long, LORD? will you be angry for ever? shall your jealousy burn like fire?

٦ 6 صُبَّ غَضَبَكَ عَلَى الأُمَمِ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوكَ، وَعَلَى الْمَمَالِكِ الَّتِي لَمْ تَدْعُ بِاسْمِكَ،

Pour out your wrath upon the heathen that have not known you, and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon your name.

٧ 7 فَإِنَّهُمْ قَدِ افْتَرَسُوا يَعْقُوبَ وَقَوَّضُوا مَسْكَنَهُ.

For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his dwelling place.

٨ 8 لَا تَذْكُرْ عَلَيْنَا آثَامَ أَجْدَادِنَا، بَلْ دَعْ مَرَاحِمَكَ تُوَافِينَا سَرِيعاً، لأَنَّنَا قَدْ تَذَلَّلْنَا جِدّاً.

O remember not against us former iniquities: let your tender mercies speedily prevent us: for we are brought very low.

٩ 9 أَغِثْنَا أَيُّهَا الإِلَهُ مُخَلِّصُنَا مِنْ أَجْلِ مَجْدِكَ. أَنْقِذْنَا وَاغْفِرْ لَنَا خَطَايَانَا مِنْ أَجْلِ اسْمِكَ.

Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of your name: and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for your name's sake.

١٠ 10 لِمَاذَا تَسْأَلُنَا الأُمَمُ: أَيْنَ إِلَهُكُمْ؟ دَعْنَا نَرَى كَيْفَ يَذِيعُ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ خَبَرُ انْتِقَامِكَ لِدِمَاءِ عَبِيدِكَ الْمَسْفُوكَةِ.

Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is their God? let him be known among the heathen in our sight by the revenging of the blood of your servants which is shed.

١١ 11 لِيَتَصَاعَدْ أَمَامَكَ أَنِينُ الْمَأْسُورِ. حَافِظْ بِعَظَمَةِ قُوَّتِكَ عَلَى الْمَحْكُومِ عَلَيْهِمْ بِالْمَوْتِ.

Let the sighing of the prisoner come before you; according to the greatness of your power preserve you those that are appointed to die;

١٢ 12 رُدَّ يَا رَبُّ عَلَى الأُمَمِ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ مَا عَيَّرُوكَ وَأَهَانُوكَ بِهِ،

And render unto our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, wherewith they have reproached you, O Lord.

١٣ 13 فَنَحْمَدَكَ نَحْنُ شَعْبَكَ وَغَنَمَ مَرْعَاكَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ وَنُذِيعَ تَسْبِيحَكَ مِنْ جِيلٍ إِلَى جِيلٍ.

So we your people and sheep of your pasture will give you thanks for ever: we will show forth your praise to all generations.
