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

To the Overseer. — 'On the Lilies.' A testimony of Asaph. — A Psalm. Shepherd of Israel, give ear, Leading Joseph as a flock, Inhabiting the cherubs — shine forth,

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

Before Ephraim, and Benjamin, and Manasseh, Wake up Thy might, and come for our salvation.

٣ 3 يَا اللهُ رُدَّنَا إِلَيْكَ وَأَنِرْ بِوَجْهِكَ عَلَيْنَا فَنَخْلُصَ.

O God, cause us to turn back, And cause Thy face to shine, and we are saved.

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

Jehovah, God of Hosts, till when? Thou hast burned against the prayer of Thy people.

٥ 5 لَقَدْ أَطْعَمْتَهُمْ خُبْزَ الدُّمُوعِ وَسَقَيْتَهُمْ كُؤُوساً طَافِحَةً بِالْعَبَرَاتِ

Thou hast caused them to eat bread of tears, And causest them to drink With tears a third time.

٦ 6 جَعَلْتَنَا مَصْدَرَ نِزَاعٍ لِجِيرَانِنَا وَمَثَارَ هُزْءٍ لأَعْدَائِنَا.

Thou makest us a strife to our neighbours, And our enemies mock at it.

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

God of Hosts, turn us back, And cause Thy face to shine, and we are saved.

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

A vine out of Egypt Thou dost bring, Thou dost cast out nations, and plantest it.

٩ 9 أَوْسَعْتَ لَهَا فَتَأَصَّلَتْ جُذُورُهَا فِي الْعُمْقِ وَمَلأَتِ الأَرْضَ.

Thou hast looked before it, and dost root it, And it filleth the land,

١٠ 10 غَطَّى الْجِبَالَ ظِلُّهَا، وَشَابَهَتْ أَغْصَانُهَا الأَرْزَ الْعَظِيمَ،

Covered have been hills [with] its shadow, And its boughs [are] cedars of God.

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

It sendeth forth its branches unto the sea, And unto the river its sucklings.

١٢ 12 لِمَاذَا هَدَمْتَ سِيَاجَهَا فَيَقْطِفَهَا كُلُّ عَابِرِي الطَّرِيقِ؟

Why hast Thou broken down its hedges, And all passing by the way have plucked it?

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

A boar out of the forest doth waste it, And a wild beast of the fields consumeth it.

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

God of Hosts, turn back, we beseech Thee, Look from heaven, and see, and inspect this vine,

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

And the root that Thy right hand planted, And the branch Thou madest strong for Thee,

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

Burnt with fire — cut down, From the rebuke of Thy face they perish.

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

Let Thy hand be on the man of Thy right hand, On the son of man Thou hast strengthened for Thyself.

١٨ 18 فَلَا نَرْتَدَّ عَنْكَ. أَحْيِنَا فَنَدْعُوَ بِاسْمِكَ.

And we do not go back from Thee, Thou dost revive us, and in Thy name we call.

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

O Jehovah, God of Hosts, turn us back, Cause Thy face to shine, and we are saved!
