المَزامِير 80

١ 1 لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ. عَلَى السُّوسَنِّ. أَصْغِ يَا رَاعِيَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، يَا مَنْ قُدْتَ (قَوْمَ) يُوسُفَ كَالْقَطِيعِ. تَجَلَّ يَا مَنْ بِنِعْمَتِكَ تَجْلِسُ عَلَى عَرْشِكَ فَوْقَ الْكَرُوبِيمِ

[For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "The Lilies of the Covenant." A Psalm by Asaph.] Hear us, Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock, you who sit above the cherubim, shine forth.

٢ 2 اسْتَثِرْ قُوَّتَكَ الْعَظِيمَةَ أَمَامَ أَفْرَايِمَ وَبَنْيَامِينَ وَمَنَسَّى، وَتَعَالَ لإِنْقَاذِنَا.

Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up your might. Come to save us.

٣ 3 يَا اللهُ رُدَّنَا إِلَيْكَ وَأَنِرْ بِوَجْهِكَ عَلَيْنَا فَنَخْلُصَ.

Restore us, God. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved.

٤ 4 يَا رَبُّ إِلَهَ الْجُنُودِ، إِلَى مَتَى تَظَلُّ غَاضِباً عَلَى صَلاةِ شَعْبِكَ.

LORD God of hosts, How long will you be angry against the prayer of your people?

٥ 5 لَقَدْ أَطْعَمْتَهُمْ خُبْزَ الدُّمُوعِ وَسَقَيْتَهُمْ كُؤُوساً طَافِحَةً بِالْعَبَرَاتِ

You have fed them with the bread of tears, and given them tears to drink in large measure.

٦ 6 جَعَلْتَنَا مَصْدَرَ نِزَاعٍ لِجِيرَانِنَا وَمَثَارَ هُزْءٍ لأَعْدَائِنَا.

You make us a source of contention to our neighbors. Our enemies have mocked us.

٧ 7 يَا إِلَهَ الْجُنُودِ رُدَّنَا إِلَيْكَ، وَأَنِرْ بِوَجْهِكَ عَلَيْنَا فَنَخْلُصَ.

Restore us, God of hosts. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved.

٨ 8 نَقَلْتَ كَرْمَةً (أَيْ الشَّعْبَ) مِنْ مِصْرَ. طَرَدْتَ أُمَماً وَغَرَسْتَهَا مَكَانَهُمْ.

You brought a vine out of Egypt. You drove out the nations, and planted it.

٩ 9 أَوْسَعْتَ لَهَا فَتَأَصَّلَتْ جُذُورُهَا فِي الْعُمْقِ وَمَلأَتِ الأَرْضَ.

You cleared the ground for it. It took deep root, and filled the land.

١٠ 10 غَطَّى الْجِبَالَ ظِلُّهَا، وَشَابَهَتْ أَغْصَانُهَا الأَرْزَ الْعَظِيمَ،

The mountains were covered with its shadow. Its boughs were like God's cedars.

١١ 11 مَدَّتْ قُضْبَانَهَا إِلَى الْبَحْرِ الْمُتَوَسِّطِ وَفُرُوعَهَا إِلَى نَهْرِ الْفُرَاتِ.

It sent out its branches to the sea, Its shoots to the River.

١٢ 12 لِمَاذَا هَدَمْتَ سِيَاجَهَا فَيَقْطِفَهَا كُلُّ عَابِرِي الطَّرِيقِ؟

Why have you broken down its walls, so that all those who pass by the way pluck it?

١٣ 13 يُتْلِفُهَا الْخِنْزِيرُ الطَّالِعُ مِنَ الْغَابَةِ، وَيَرْعَاهَا وَحْشُ الْبَرَارِي.

The boar out of the wood ravages it. The wild animals of the field feed on it.

١٤ 14 يَا إِلَهَ الْجُنُودِ ارْجِعَنَّ. تَطَلَّعْ مِنَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَانْظُرْ إِلَى هَذِهِ الْكَرْمَةِ وَتَعَهَّدْهَا بِنِعْمَتِكَ.

Return, we beg you, God of hosts. Look down from heaven, and see, and visit this vine,

١٥ 15 (تَفَقَّدْ) هَذِهِ الكَرْمَةَ الَّتِي غَرَسَتْهَا يَمِينُكَ، وَابْنَ آدَمَ الَّذِي اخْتَرْتَهُ لِنَفْسِكَ.

the stock which your right hand planted, the branch that you made strong for yourself.

١٦ 16 لَقَدْ أَحْرَقَهَا أَعْدَاؤُنَا بِالنَّارِ. لَيْتَهُمْ مِنْ زَجْرِ طَلْعَتِكَ يَبِيدُونَ.

It's burned with fire. It's cut down. They perish at your rebuke.

١٧ 17 لِتَكُنْ يَدُكَ عَلَى الإِنْسَانِ الْجَالِسِ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ، عَلَى ابْنِ آدَمَ الَّذِي اخْتَرْتَهُ لِنَفْسِكَ،

Let your hand be on the man of your right hand, on the son of man whom you made strong for yourself.

١٨ 18 فَلَا نَرْتَدَّ عَنْكَ. أَحْيِنَا فَنَدْعُوَ بِاسْمِكَ.

So we will not turn away from you. Revive us, and we will call on your name.

١٩ 19 يَا رَبُّ يَا إِلَهَ الْجُنُودِ رُدَّنَا إِلَيْكَ، وَأَنِرْ بِوَجْهِكَ عَلَيْنَا فَنَخْلُصَ.

Restore us, LORD God of hosts. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved.
