< Psalms 50 >

1 A Psalm of Asaph. The Mighty One, God the LORD, speaks and summons the earth from where the sun rises to where it sets.
مَزْمُورٌ لِآسَافَ إِلَهُ ٱلْآلِهَةِ ٱلرَّبُّ تَكَلَّمَ، وَدَعَا ٱلْأَرْضَ مِنْ مَشْرِقِ ٱلشَّمْسِ إِلَى مَغْرِبِهَا.١
2 From Zion, perfect in beauty, God shines forth.
مِنْ صِهْيَوْنَ، كَمَالِ ٱلْجَمَالِ، ٱللهُ أَشْرَقَ.٢
3 Our God approaches and will not be silent! Consuming fire precedes Him, and a tempest rages around Him.
يَأْتِي إِلَهُنَا وَلَا يَصْمُتُ. نَارٌ قُدَّامَهُ تَأْكُلُ، وَحَوْلَهُ عَاصِفٌ جِدًّا.٣
4 He summons the heavens above, and the earth, that He may judge His people:
يَدْعُو ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ مِنْ فَوْقُ، وَٱلْأَرْضَ إِلَى مُدَايَنَةِ شَعْبِهِ:٤
5 “Gather to Me My saints, who made a covenant with Me by sacrifice.”
«ٱجْمَعُوا إِلَيَّ أَتْقِيَائِي، ٱلْقَاطِعِينَ عَهْدِي عَلَى ذَبِيحَةٍ».٥
6 And the heavens proclaim His righteousness, for God Himself is Judge.
وَتُخْبِرُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ بِعَدْلِهِ، لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ هُوَ ٱلدَّيَّانُ. سِلَاهْ.٦
7 “Hear, O My people, and I will speak, O Israel, and I will testify against you: I am God, your God.
«اِسْمَعْ يَا شَعْبِي فَأَتَكَلَّمَ. يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ فَأَشْهَدَ عَلَيْكَ: ٱللهُ إِلَهُكَ أَنَا.٧
8 I do not rebuke you for your sacrifices, and your burnt offerings are ever before Me.
لَا عَلَى ذَبَائِحِكَ أُوَبِّخُكَ، فَإِنَّ مُحْرَقَاتِكَ هِيَ دَائِمًا قُدَّامِي.٨
9 I have no need for a bull from your stall or goats from your pens,
لَا آخُذُ مِنْ بَيْتِكَ ثَوْرًا، وَلَا مِنْ حَظَائِرِكَ أَعْتِدَةً.٩
10 for every beast of the forest is Mine— the cattle on a thousand hills.
لِأَنَّ لِي حَيَوَانَ ٱلْوَعْرِ وَٱلْبَهَائِمَ عَلَى ٱلْجِبَالِ ٱلْأُلُوفِ.١٠
11 I know every bird in the mountains, and the creatures of the field are Mine.
قَدْ عَلِمْتُ كُلَّ طُيُورِ ٱلْجِبَالِ، وَوُحُوشُ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ عِنْدِي.١١
12 If I were hungry, I would not tell you, for the world is Mine, and the fullness thereof.
إِنْ جُعْتُ فَلَا أَقُولُ لَكَ، لِأَنَّ لِي ٱلْمَسْكُونَةَ وَمِلْأَهَا.١٢
13 Do I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
هَلْ آكُلُ لَحْمَ ٱلثِّيرَانِ، أَوْ أَشْرَبُ دَمَ ٱلتُّيُوسِ؟١٣
14 Sacrifice a thank offering to God, and fulfill your vows to the Most High.
اِذْبَحْ لِلهِ حَمْدًا، وَأَوْفِ ٱلْعَلِيَّ نُذُورَكَ،١٤
15 Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor Me.”
وَٱدْعُنِي فِي يَوْمِ ٱلضِّيقِ أُنْقِذْكَ فَتُمَجِّدَنِي».١٥
16 To the wicked, however, God says, “What right have you to recite My statutes and to bear My covenant on your lips?
وَلِلشِّرِّيرِ قَالَ ٱللهُ: «مَا لَكَ تُحَدِّثُ بِفَرَائِضِي وَتَحْمِلُ عَهْدِي عَلَى فَمِكَ؟١٦
17 For you hate My instruction and cast My words behind you.
وَأَنْتَ قَدْ أَبْغَضْتَ ٱلتَّأْدِيبَ وَأَلْقَيْتَ كَلَامِي خَلْفَكَ.١٧
18 When you see a thief, you befriend him, and throw in your lot with adulterers.
إِذَا رَأَيْتَ سَارِقًا وَافَقْتَهُ، وَمَعَ ٱلزُّنَاةِ نَصِيبُكَ.١٨
19 You unleash your mouth for evil and unharness your tongue for deceit.
أَطْلَقْتَ فَمَكَ بِٱلشَّرِّ، وَلِسَانُكَ يَخْتَرِعُ غِشًّا.١٩
20 You sit and malign your brother; you slander your own mother’s son.
تَجْلِسُ تَتَكَلَّمُ عَلَى أَخِيكَ. لِٱبْنِ أُمِّكَ تَضَعُ مَعْثَرَةً.٢٠
21 You have done these things, and I kept silent; you thought I was just like you. But now I rebuke you and accuse you to your face.
هَذِهِ صَنَعْتَ وَسَكَتُّ. ظَنَنْتَ أَنِّي مِثْلُكَ. أُوَبِّخُكَ، وَأَصُفُّ خَطَايَاكَ أَمَامَ عَيْنَيْكَ.٢١
22 Now consider this, you who forget God, lest I tear you to pieces, with no one to rescue you:
ٱفْهَمُوا هَذَا يَا أَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُونَ ٱللهَ، لِئَلَّا أَفْتَرِسَكُمْ وَلَا مُنْقِذَ.٢٢
23 He who sacrifices a thank offering honors Me, and to him who rights his way, I will show the salvation of God.”
ذَابِحُ ٱلْحَمْدِ يُمَجِّدُنِي، وَٱلْمُقَوِّمُ طَرِيقَهُ أُرِيهِ خَلَاصَ ٱللهِ».٢٣
