< Psalms 50 >

1 A Psalm. Of Asaph. The God of gods, even the Lord, has sent out his voice, and the earth is full of fear; from the coming up of the sun to its going down.
مَزْمُورٌ لِآسَافَ إِلَهُ ٱلْآلِهَةِ ٱلرَّبُّ تَكَلَّمَ، وَدَعَا ٱلْأَرْضَ مِنْ مَشْرِقِ ٱلشَّمْسِ إِلَى مَغْرِبِهَا.١
2 From Zion, most beautiful of places, God has sent out his light.
مِنْ صِهْيَوْنَ، كَمَالِ ٱلْجَمَالِ، ٱللهُ أَشْرَقَ.٢
3 Our God will come, and will not keep quiet; with fire burning before him, and storm-winds round him.
يَأْتِي إِلَهُنَا وَلَا يَصْمُتُ. نَارٌ قُدَّامَهُ تَأْكُلُ، وَحَوْلَهُ عَاصِفٌ جِدًّا.٣
4 His voice will go out to the heavens and to the earth, for the judging of his people:
يَدْعُو ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ مِنْ فَوْقُ، وَٱلْأَرْضَ إِلَى مُدَايَنَةِ شَعْبِهِ:٤
5 Let my saints come together to me; those who have made an agreement with me by offerings.
«ٱجْمَعُوا إِلَيَّ أَتْقِيَائِي، ٱلْقَاطِعِينَ عَهْدِي عَلَى ذَبِيحَةٍ».٥
6 And let the heavens make clear his righteousness; for God himself is the judge. (Selah)
وَتُخْبِرُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ بِعَدْلِهِ، لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ هُوَ ٱلدَّيَّانُ. سِلَاهْ.٦
7 Give ear, O my people, to my words; O Israel, I will be a witness against you; I am God, even your God.
«اِسْمَعْ يَا شَعْبِي فَأَتَكَلَّمَ. يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ فَأَشْهَدَ عَلَيْكَ: ٱللهُ إِلَهُكَ أَنَا.٧
8 I will not take up a cause against you because of your offerings, or because of your burned offerings, which are ever before me.
لَا عَلَى ذَبَائِحِكَ أُوَبِّخُكَ، فَإِنَّ مُحْرَقَاتِكَ هِيَ دَائِمًا قُدَّامِي.٨
9 I will take no ox out of your house, or he-goats from your flocks;
لَا آخُذُ مِنْ بَيْتِكَ ثَوْرًا، وَلَا مِنْ حَظَائِرِكَ أَعْتِدَةً.٩
10 For every beast of the woodland is mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills.
لِأَنَّ لِي حَيَوَانَ ٱلْوَعْرِ وَٱلْبَهَائِمَ عَلَى ٱلْجِبَالِ ٱلْأُلُوفِ.١٠
11 I see all the birds of the mountains, and the beasts of the field are mine.
قَدْ عَلِمْتُ كُلَّ طُيُورِ ٱلْجِبَالِ، وَوُحُوشُ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ عِنْدِي.١١
12 If I had need of food, I would not give you word of it; for the earth is mine and all its wealth.
إِنْ جُعْتُ فَلَا أَقُولُ لَكَ، لِأَنَّ لِي ٱلْمَسْكُونَةَ وَمِلْأَهَا.١٢
13 Am I to take the flesh of the ox for my food, or the blood of goats for my drink?
هَلْ آكُلُ لَحْمَ ٱلثِّيرَانِ، أَوْ أَشْرَبُ دَمَ ٱلتُّيُوسِ؟١٣
14 Make an offering of praise to God; keep the agreements which you have made with the Most High;
اِذْبَحْ لِلهِ حَمْدًا، وَأَوْفِ ٱلْعَلِيَّ نُذُورَكَ،١٤
15 Let your voice come up to me in the day of trouble; I will be your saviour, so that you may give glory to me.
وَٱدْعُنِي فِي يَوْمِ ٱلضِّيقِ أُنْقِذْكَ فَتُمَجِّدَنِي».١٥
16 But to the sinner, God says, What are you doing, talking of my laws, or taking the words of my agreement in your mouth?
وَلِلشِّرِّيرِ قَالَ ٱللهُ: «مَا لَكَ تُحَدِّثُ بِفَرَائِضِي وَتَحْمِلُ عَهْدِي عَلَى فَمِكَ؟١٦
17 Seeing that you have no desire for my teaching, turning your back on my words.
وَأَنْتَ قَدْ أَبْغَضْتَ ٱلتَّأْدِيبَ وَأَلْقَيْتَ كَلَامِي خَلْفَكَ.١٧
18 When you saw a thief, you were in agreement with him, and you were joined with those who took other men's wives.
إِذَا رَأَيْتَ سَارِقًا وَافَقْتَهُ، وَمَعَ ٱلزُّنَاةِ نَصِيبُكَ.١٨
19 You have given your mouth to evil, your tongue to words of deceit.
أَطْلَقْتَ فَمَكَ بِٱلشَّرِّ، وَلِسَانُكَ يَخْتَرِعُ غِشًّا.١٩
20 You say evil of your brother; you make false statements against your mother's son.
تَجْلِسُ تَتَكَلَّمُ عَلَى أَخِيكَ. لِٱبْنِ أُمِّكَ تَضَعُ مَعْثَرَةً.٢٠
21 These things have you done, and I said nothing; it seemed to you that I was such a one as yourself; but I will make a protest against you, and put them in order before your eyes.
هَذِهِ صَنَعْتَ وَسَكَتُّ. ظَنَنْتَ أَنِّي مِثْلُكَ. أُوَبِّخُكَ، وَأَصُفُّ خَطَايَاكَ أَمَامَ عَيْنَيْكَ.٢١
22 Now keep this in mind, you who have no memory of God, for fear that you may be crushed under my hand, with no one to give you help:
ٱفْهَمُوا هَذَا يَا أَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُونَ ٱللهَ، لِئَلَّا أَفْتَرِسَكُمْ وَلَا مُنْقِذَ.٢٢
23 Whoever makes an offering of praise gives glory to me; and to him who is upright in his ways I will make clear the salvation of God.
ذَابِحُ ٱلْحَمْدِ يُمَجِّدُنِي، وَٱلْمُقَوِّمُ طَرِيقَهُ أُرِيهِ خَلَاصَ ٱللهِ».٢٣
