المَزامِير 94
| يَا رَبُّ أَنْتَ إِلَهُ الانْتِقَامِ، فَتَجَلَّ بِغَضَبِكَ. | ١ 1 |
The Lord is a God of vengeance! God of vengeance, shine out!
| قُمْ يَا دَيَّانَ الأَرْضِ وَجَازِ الْمُتَكَبِّرِينَ عَلَى أَعْمَالِهِمْ. | ٢ 2 |
Stand up, judge of the earth, and pay back those who are proud what they deserve.
| إِلَى مَتَى يَا رَبُّ يَشْمَتُ الأَشْرَارُ فَرِحِينَ؟ | ٣ 3 |
How long, Lord? How long will the wicked celebrate in triumph?
| إِلَى مَتَى يَهْذِرُ عُمَّالُ الإِثْمِ وَيَتَوَاقَحُونَ وَيَتَبَاهَوْنَ بِأَنْفُسِهِمْ؟ | ٤ 4 |
How long will you let them pour out their arrogant words? How long will these evil people go on boasting?
| يَسْحَقُونَ شَعْبَكَ يَا رَبُّ وَيَضْطَهِدُونَهُ، | ٥ 5 |
Lord, they crush your people; they oppress those you call your own.
| يَقْتُلُونَ الأَرْمَلَةَ وَالْغَرِيبَ وَيَذْبَحُونَ الْيَتِيمَ. | ٦ 6 |
They kill widows and foreigners; they murder orphans.
| وَيَقُولُونَ: «الرَّبُّ لَا يَرَى هَذَا، وَإِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ لَا يُبَالِي». | ٧ 7 |
They say, “The Lord can't see what we're doing. Israel's God doesn't pay any attention to us.”
| افْهَمُوا يَا أَغْبِيَاءَ الشَّعْبِ! يَا جُهَّالُ مَتَى تَتَعَقَّلُونَ؟ | ٨ 8 |
Take another look, you stupid people! Fools—when will you ever get the point?
| صَانِعُ الأُذُنِ أَلَا يَسْمَعُ؟ جَابِلُ الْعَيْنِ أَلَا يُبْصِرُ؟ | ٩ 9 |
Do you think the creator of the ear can't hear? Do you think the maker of the eye can't see?
| مُؤَدِّبُ الأُمَمِ أَلَا يَزْجُرُ وَهُوَ الَّذِي يُعَلِّمُ الإِنْسَانَ الْحِكْمَةَ؟ | ١٠ 10 |
Do you think that the one who punishes nations won't punish you too? Do you think that the one who teaches human beings knowledge doesn't know anything?
| الرَّبُّ يَعْلَمُ أَفْكَارَ الإِنْسَانِ وَيَعْرِفُ أَنَّهَا بَاطِلَةٌ. | ١١ 11 |
The Lord knows the thoughts of human beings—he knows they are pointless.
| طُوبَى لِلإِنْسَانِ الَّذِي تُؤَدِّبُهُ، وَتُعَلِّمُهُ مِنْ شَرِيعَتِكَ يَا رَبُّ! | ١٢ 12 |
Those you discipline are happy, Lord; those you teach from your Law.
| لِتُرِيحَهُ مِنْ أَيَّامِ السُّوءِ، إِلَى أَنْ يَمُوتَ الشِّرِّيرُ وَيَتَوَارَى فِي مَثْواهُ. | ١٣ 13 |
You give them peace in days of trouble, until a pit is dug to trap the wicked.
| لَا يَرْفُضُ اللهُ شَعْبَهُ، وَلَا يَنْبِذُ خَاصَّتَهُ. | ١٤ 14 |
For the Lord will not give up on his people; he will not abandon his own.
| لأَنَّ القَضَاءَ يُصْبِحُ عَدْلاً وَيُحِبُّهُ جَمِيعُ الْمُسْتَقِيمِي الْقُلُوبِ. | ١٥ 15 |
Justice will once again be based on what is right; those who are sincere will support it.
| مَنْ يَتَوَلَّى عَنِّي مُحَارَبَةَ الأَشْرَارِ؟ مَنْ يُجَابِهُ عَنِّي فَاعِلِي الإِثْمِ؟ | ١٦ 16 |
Who came to my defense against the wicked; who stood up for me against those who do evil?
| لَوْ لَمْ يَكُنِ الرَّبُّ مُعِينِي لَسَكَنَتْ نَفْسِي الْقَبْرَ. | ١٧ 17 |
If the Lord hadn't helped me, I would have soon gone down into the silence of the grave.
| قُلْتُ: قَدْ زَلَّتْ قَدَمِي. وَلَكِنَّ رَحْمَتَكَ يَا رَبُّ صَارَتْ لِي سَنَداً. | ١٨ 18 |
I shouted out, “My foot's slipping!” and your trustworthy love, Lord, kept me from falling.
| عِنْدَ كَثْرَةِ هُمُومِي فِي دَاخِلِي تَبْتَهِجُ نَفْسِي بِتَعْزِيَاتِكَ. | ١٩ 19 |
When my mind was full of worries, you comforted me and encouraged me.
| أَيُحَالِفُكَ مَلِكُ الشَّرِّ الْمُخْتَلِقُ إثْماً لِيَجْعَلَ الظُّلْمَ شَرِيعَةً لِلْقَضَاءِ؟ | ٢٠ 20 |
Can unjust judges really be on your side, Lord, when their corrupt use of the law causes misery?
| يَجْتَمِعُونَ مَعاً لِلْقَضَاءِ عَلَى حَيَاةِ الصِّدِّيقِ، وَيَحْكُمُونَ عَلَى الْبَرِيءِ بِالْمَوْتِ. | ٢١ 21 |
They work together to destroy good people; they condemn those who are innocent to death.
| وَلَكِنَّ الرَّبَّ هُوَ حِصْنِي الْمَنِيعُ؛ إِلَهِي هُوَ الصَّخْرَةُ الَّتِي بِها أَحْتَمِي. | ٢٢ 22 |
But the Lord protects me like a fortress; my God is the rock that keeps me safe.
| غَيْرَ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَنَا يُعَاقِبُهُمْ عَلَى إِثْمِهِمْ، وَيُبِيدُهُمْ بِشَرِّهِمْ. | ٢٣ 23 |
He will turn the wickedness of evil people back upon them; he will destroy them because of their sins; the Lord our God will destroy them.
