| صَلاةٌ لِمُوسَى رَجُلِ اللهِ يَا رَبُّ أَنْتَ كُنْتَ مَلْجَأً لَنَا نَلُوذُ بِهِ جِيلاً بَعْدَ جِيلٍ. | ١ 1 |
“BOOK IV. A prayer of Moses, the man of God.” LORD! thou hast been our dwelling-place In all generations!
| قَبْلَ أَنْ أَوْجَدْتَ الْجِبَالَ أَوْ كَوَّنْتَ الْمَسْكُونَةَ، أَنْتَ اللهُ مِنَ الأَزَلِ وَإِلَى الأَبَدِ. | ٢ 2 |
Before the mountains were brought forth, Or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting thou art God!
| تُعِيدُ الإِنْسَانَ إِلَى التُّرَابِ قَائِلاً: عُودُوا إِلَيْهِ يَا بَنِي آدَمَ. | ٣ 3 |
But man thou turnest again to dust, And sayst, “Return, ye children of men!”
| فَإِنَّ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ فِي عَيْنَيْكَ كَيَوْمِ أَمْسِ الْعَابِرِ، أَوْ مِثْلُ هَزِيعٍ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ. | ٤ 4 |
For a thousand years are, in thy sight, As yesterday when it is past, And as a watch in the night.
| تَجْرُفُ الْبَشَرَ كَمَا يَجْرُفُهُمُ الطُّوفَانُ، فَيَزُولُونَ كَالْحُلْمِ عِنْدَ الصَّبَاحِ مِثْلَ الْعُشْبِ الَّذِي يَنْمُو. | ٥ 5 |
Thou carriest him away as with a flood; He is a dream; In the morning he springeth up like grass,
| يُزْهِرُ فِي الصَّبَاحِ وَيَنْمُو، وَفِي الْمَسَاءِ يُقْطَعُ وَيَجِفُّ. | ٦ 6 |
Which flourisheth and shooteth up in the morning, And in the evening is cut down, and withered.
| إِنَّ غَضَبَكَ قَدْ أَفْنَانَا وَسَخَطَكَ قَدْ رَوَّعَنَا. | ٧ 7 |
For we are consumed by thine anger, And by thy wrath are we destroyed.
| جَعَلْتَ آثَامَنَا أَمَامَكَ وَخَطَايَانَا الْخَفِيَّةَ ظَاهِرَةً لَدَيْكَ. | ٨ 8 |
Thou settest our iniquities before thee, Our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.
| لأَنَّ أَيَّامَنَا كُلَّهَا تَنْقَضِي فِي غَضَبِكَ الشَّدِيدِ، وَأَعْوَامَنَا تَتَلاشَى كَزَفْرَةٍ. | ٩ 9 |
By reason of thine anger all our days vanish away; We spend our years like a thought.
| قَدْ نَعِيشُ سَبْعِينَ سَنَةً، وَإِنْ كُنَّا ذَوِي عَافِيَةٍ فَثَمَانينَ وَأَفْضَلُ أَيَّامِنَا تَعَبٌ وَبَلِيَّةٌ، لأَنَّهَا سَرْعَانَ مَا تَزُولُ فَنَطِيرُ. | ١٠ 10 |
The days of our life are threescore years and ten, And, by reason of strength, may be fourscore years: Yet is the pride of them weariness and sorrow; For it vanisheth swiftly, and we fly away.
| مَنْ يَعْرِفُ شِدَّةَ غَضَبِكَ؟ إِنَّ سَخَطَكَ هُوَ بِحَسَبِ مَهَابَتِكَ؟ | ١١ 11 |
Yet who attendeth to the power of thine anger? Who with due reverence regardeth thine indignation?
| عَلِّمْنَا إِحْصَاءَ أَيَّامِنَا، لَعَلَّنَا نَتَعَقَّلُ بِقَلْبٍ حَكِيمٍ. | ١٢ 12 |
Teach us so to number our days, That we may apply our hearts to wisdom!
| إِلَى مَتَى يَطُولُ يَا رَبُّ غَضَبُكَ؟ ارْجِعْ وَتَعَطَّفْ عَلَى عَبِيدِكَ. | ١٣ 13 |
Desist, O LORD! How long—? Have compassion upon thy servants!
| أَفِضْ عَلَيْنَا بَاكِراً مِنْ رَحْمَتِكَ، فَنَتَرَنَّمَ فَرَحاً وَنَبْتَهِجَ طَوَالَ أَعْمَارِنَا. | ١٤ 14 |
Satisfy us speedily with thy mercy, That we may rejoice and be glad all our days!
| فَرِّحْنَا بِمِقْدَارِ الأَيَّامِ الَّتِي بَلَيْتَنَا بِها، وَبِمِقْدَارِ السِّنِينَ الَّتِي رَأَيْنَا فِيهَا الْمَصَائِبَ | ١٥ 15 |
Make us glad according to the time in which thou hast afflicted us; According to the years in which we have seen adversity!
| لِيَظْهَرْ صَنِيعُكَ أَمَامَ عَبِيدِكَ وَجَلالُكَ أَمَامَ أَبْنَائِهِمْ. | ١٦ 16 |
Let thy deeds be known to thy servants, And thy glory to their children!
| وَلْتَكُنْ نِعْمَةُ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا عَلَيْنَا. أَنْجِحْ عَمَلَ أَيْدِينَا، نَعَمْ أَنْجِحْ لَنَا عَمَلَ أَيْدِينَا. | ١٧ 17 |
Let the favor of the LORD our God be upon us, And establish for us the work of our hands; Yea, the work of our hands, establish thou it!
