مَزْمُورٌ لآسَافَ يَا اللهُ، إِنَّ الأُمَمَ قَدْ دَخَلَتْ مِيرَاثَكَ وَنَجَّسَتْ هَيْكَلَكَ الْمُقَدَّسَ وَجَعَلَتْ أُورُشَلِيمَ أَكْوَاماً. ١ 1
A Psalm by Asaph. God, the nations have come into your inheritance. They have defiled your holy temple. They have laid Jerusalem in heaps.
جَعَلُوا جُثَثَ عَبِيدِكَ مَأْكَلاً لِطُيُورِ السَّمَاءِ، وَلُحُومَ قِدِّيسِيكَ لِوُحُوشِ الأَرْضِ. ٢ 2
They have given the dead bodies of your servants to be food for the birds of the sky, the flesh of your saints to the animals of the earth.
سَفَكُوا دِمَاءَهُمْ كَالْمَاءِ حَوْلَ أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَلَيْسَ هُنَاكَ مَنْ يَدْفِنُهُمْ. ٣ 3
They have shed their blood like water around Jerusalem. There was no one to bury them.
قَدْ صِرْنَا عَاراً عِنْدَ جِيرَانِنَا، وَمَثَارَ هُزْءٍ وَأُضْحُوكَةً لِمَنْ حَوْلَنَا. ٤ 4
We have become a reproach to our neighbors, a scoffing and derision to those who are around us.
إِلَى مَتَى يَدُومُ هَذَا يَا رَبُّ؟ أَتَبْقَى غَاضِباً تَتَّقِدُ غَيْرَتُكَ كَالنَّارِ إِلَى الأَبَدِ؟ ٥ 5
How long, LORD? Will you be angry forever? Will your jealousy burn like fire?
صُبَّ غَضَبَكَ عَلَى الأُمَمِ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوكَ، وَعَلَى الْمَمَالِكِ الَّتِي لَمْ تَدْعُ بِاسْمِكَ، ٦ 6
Pour out your wrath on the nations that don’t know you, on the kingdoms that don’t call on your name,
فَإِنَّهُمْ قَدِ افْتَرَسُوا يَعْقُوبَ وَقَوَّضُوا مَسْكَنَهُ. ٧ 7
for they have devoured Jacob, and destroyed his homeland.
لَا تَذْكُرْ عَلَيْنَا آثَامَ أَجْدَادِنَا، بَلْ دَعْ مَرَاحِمَكَ تُوَافِينَا سَرِيعاً، لأَنَّنَا قَدْ تَذَلَّلْنَا جِدّاً. ٨ 8
Don’t hold the iniquities of our forefathers against us. Let your tender mercies speedily meet us, for we are in desperate need.
أَغِثْنَا أَيُّهَا الإِلَهُ مُخَلِّصُنَا مِنْ أَجْلِ مَجْدِكَ. أَنْقِذْنَا وَاغْفِرْ لَنَا خَطَايَانَا مِنْ أَجْلِ اسْمِكَ. ٩ 9
Help us, God of our salvation, for the glory of your name. Deliver us, and forgive our sins, for your name’s sake.
لِمَاذَا تَسْأَلُنَا الأُمَمُ: أَيْنَ إِلَهُكُمْ؟ دَعْنَا نَرَى كَيْفَ يَذِيعُ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ خَبَرُ انْتِقَامِكَ لِدِمَاءِ عَبِيدِكَ الْمَسْفُوكَةِ. ١٠ 10
Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?” Let it be known among the nations, before our eyes, that vengeance for your servants’ blood is being poured out.
لِيَتَصَاعَدْ أَمَامَكَ أَنِينُ الْمَأْسُورِ. حَافِظْ بِعَظَمَةِ قُوَّتِكَ عَلَى الْمَحْكُومِ عَلَيْهِمْ بِالْمَوْتِ. ١١ 11
Let the sighing of the prisoner come before you. According to the greatness of your power, preserve those who are sentenced to death.
رُدَّ يَا رَبُّ عَلَى الأُمَمِ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ مَا عَيَّرُوكَ وَأَهَانُوكَ بِهِ، ١٢ 12
Pay back to our neighbors seven times into their bosom their reproach with which they have reproached you, Lord.
فَنَحْمَدَكَ نَحْنُ شَعْبَكَ وَغَنَمَ مَرْعَاكَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ وَنُذِيعَ تَسْبِيحَكَ مِنْ جِيلٍ إِلَى جِيلٍ. ١٣ 13
So we, your people and sheep of your pasture, will give you thanks forever. We will praise you forever, to all generations.
