Psalms 94
1 A Psalm of David for the fourth [day] of the week. The Lord is a God of vengeance; the God of vengeance has declared himself.
| يَا رَبُّ أَنْتَ إِلَهُ الانْتِقَامِ، فَتَجَلَّ بِغَضَبِكَ. | ١ |
2 Be thou exalted, thou that judgest the earth: render a reward to the proud.
| قُمْ يَا دَيَّانَ الأَرْضِ وَجَازِ الْمُتَكَبِّرِينَ عَلَى أَعْمَالِهِمْ. | ٢ |
3 How long shall sinners, O Lord, how long shall sinners boast?
| إِلَى مَتَى يَا رَبُّ يَشْمَتُ الأَشْرَارُ فَرِحِينَ؟ | ٣ |
4 They will utter and speak unrighteousness; all the workers of iniquity will speak [so].
| إِلَى مَتَى يَهْذِرُ عُمَّالُ الإِثْمِ وَيَتَوَاقَحُونَ وَيَتَبَاهَوْنَ بِأَنْفُسِهِمْ؟ | ٤ |
5 They have afflicted thy people, O Lord, and hurt thine heritage.
| يَسْحَقُونَ شَعْبَكَ يَا رَبُّ وَيَضْطَهِدُونَهُ، | ٥ |
6 They have slain the widow and fatherless, and murdered the stranger.
| يَقْتُلُونَ الأَرْمَلَةَ وَالْغَرِيبَ وَيَذْبَحُونَ الْيَتِيمَ. | ٦ |
7 And they said, The Lord shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob understand.
| وَيَقُولُونَ: «الرَّبُّ لَا يَرَى هَذَا، وَإِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ لَا يُبَالِي». | ٧ |
8 Understand now, ye simple among the people; and ye fools, at length be wise.
| افْهَمُوا يَا أَغْبِيَاءَ الشَّعْبِ! يَا جُهَّالُ مَتَى تَتَعَقَّلُونَ؟ | ٨ |
9 He that planted the ear, does he not hear? or he that formed the eye, does not he perceive?
| صَانِعُ الأُذُنِ أَلَا يَسْمَعُ؟ جَابِلُ الْعَيْنِ أَلَا يُبْصِرُ؟ | ٩ |
10 He that chastises the heathen, shall not he punish, [even] he that teaches man knowledge?
| مُؤَدِّبُ الأُمَمِ أَلَا يَزْجُرُ وَهُوَ الَّذِي يُعَلِّمُ الإِنْسَانَ الْحِكْمَةَ؟ | ١٠ |
11 The Lord knows the thoughts of men, that they are vain.
| الرَّبُّ يَعْلَمُ أَفْكَارَ الإِنْسَانِ وَيَعْرِفُ أَنَّهَا بَاطِلَةٌ. | ١١ |
12 Blessed is the man whomsoever thou shalt chasten, O Lord, and shalt teach him out of thy law;
| طُوبَى لِلإِنْسَانِ الَّذِي تُؤَدِّبُهُ، وَتُعَلِّمُهُ مِنْ شَرِيعَتِكَ يَا رَبُّ! | ١٢ |
13 to give him rest from evil days, until a pit be digged for the sinful one.
| لِتُرِيحَهُ مِنْ أَيَّامِ السُّوءِ، إِلَى أَنْ يَمُوتَ الشِّرِّيرُ وَيَتَوَارَى فِي مَثْواهُ. | ١٣ |
14 For the Lord will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance;
| لَا يَرْفُضُ اللهُ شَعْبَهُ، وَلَا يَنْبِذُ خَاصَّتَهُ. | ١٤ |
15 until righteousness return to judgment, and all the upright in heart shall follow it. (Pause)
| لأَنَّ القَضَاءَ يُصْبِحُ عَدْلاً وَيُحِبُّهُ جَمِيعُ الْمُسْتَقِيمِي الْقُلُوبِ. | ١٥ |
16 Who will rise up for me against the transgressors? or who will stand up with me against the workers of iniquity?
| مَنْ يَتَوَلَّى عَنِّي مُحَارَبَةَ الأَشْرَارِ؟ مَنْ يُجَابِهُ عَنِّي فَاعِلِي الإِثْمِ؟ | ١٦ |
17 If the Lord had not helped me, my soul had almost sojourned in Hades.
| لَوْ لَمْ يَكُنِ الرَّبُّ مُعِينِي لَسَكَنَتْ نَفْسِي الْقَبْرَ. | ١٧ |
18 If I said, My foot has been moved;
| قُلْتُ: قَدْ زَلَّتْ قَدَمِي. وَلَكِنَّ رَحْمَتَكَ يَا رَبُّ صَارَتْ لِي سَنَداً. | ١٨ |
19 thy mercy, O Lord, helped me. O Lord, according to the multitude of my griefs within my heart, thy consolation have soothed my soul.
| عِنْدَ كَثْرَةِ هُمُومِي فِي دَاخِلِي تَبْتَهِجُ نَفْسِي بِتَعْزِيَاتِكَ. | ١٩ |
20 Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frames mischief by an ordinance?
| أَيُحَالِفُكَ مَلِكُ الشَّرِّ الْمُخْتَلِقُ إثْماً لِيَجْعَلَ الظُّلْمَ شَرِيعَةً لِلْقَضَاءِ؟ | ٢٠ |
21 They will hunt for the soul of the righteous, and condemn innocent blood.
| يَجْتَمِعُونَ مَعاً لِلْقَضَاءِ عَلَى حَيَاةِ الصِّدِّيقِ، وَيَحْكُمُونَ عَلَى الْبَرِيءِ بِالْمَوْتِ. | ٢١ |
22 But the Lord was my refuge; and my God the helper of my hope.
| وَلَكِنَّ الرَّبَّ هُوَ حِصْنِي الْمَنِيعُ؛ إِلَهِي هُوَ الصَّخْرَةُ الَّتِي بِها أَحْتَمِي. | ٢٢ |
23 And he will recompense to them their iniquity and their wickedness: the Lord our God shall utterly destroy them.
| غَيْرَ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَنَا يُعَاقِبُهُمْ عَلَى إِثْمِهِمْ، وَيُبِيدُهُمْ بِشَرِّهِمْ. | ٢٣ |
