Psalms 102

1 A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed, and poureth out his complaint before Jehovah. Jehovah, hear my prayer, and let my cry come unto thee.

١ صَلَاةٌ لِمِسْكِينٍ إِذَا أَعْيَا وَسَكَبَ شَكْوَاهُ قُدَّامَ ٱللهِ يَارَبُّ، ٱسْتَمِعْ صَلَاتِي، وَلْيَدْخُلْ إِلَيْكَ صُرَاخِي.

2 Hide not thy face from me: in the day of my trouble, incline thine ear unto me; in the day I call, answer me speedily.

٢ لَا تَحْجُبْ وَجْهَكَ عَنِّي فِي يَوْمِ ضِيقِي. أَمِلْ إِلَيَّ أُذُنَكَ فِي يَوْمِ أَدْعُوكَ. ٱسْتَجِبْ لِي سَرِيعًا.

3 For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as a firebrand.

٣ لِأَنَّ أَيَّامِي قَدْ فَنِيَتْ فِي دُخَانٍ، وَعِظَامِي مِثْلُ وَقِيدٍ قَدْ يَبِسَتْ.

4 My heart is smitten and withered like grass; yea, I have forgotten to eat my bread.

٤ مَلْفُوحٌ كَٱلْعُشْبِ وَيَابِسٌ قَلْبِي، حَتَّى سَهَوْتُ عَنْ أَكْلِ خُبْزِي.

5 By reason of the voice of my groaning, my bones cleave to my flesh.

٥ مِنْ صَوْتِ تَنَهُّدِي لَصِقَ عَظْمِي بِلَحْمِي.

6 I am become like the pelican of the wilderness, I am as an owl in desolate places;

٦ أَشْبَهْتُ قُوقَ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ. صِرْتُ مِثْلَ بُومَةِ ٱلْخِرَبِ.

7 I watch, and am like a sparrow alone upon the housetop.

٧ سَهِدْتُ وَصِرْتُ كَعُصْفُورٍ مُنْفَرِدٍ عَلَى ٱلسَّطْحِ.

8 Mine enemies reproach me all the day; they that are mad against me swear by me.

٨ ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ عَيَّرَنِي أَعْدَائِيَ. ٱلْحَنِقُونَ عَلَيَّ حَلَفُوا عَلَيَّ.

9 For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping,

٩ إِنِّي قَدْ أَكَلْتُ ٱلرَّمَادَ مِثْلَ ٱلْخُبْزِ، وَمَزَجْتُ شَرَابِي بِدُمُوعٍ،

10 Because of thine indignation and thy wrath; for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down.

١٠ بِسَبَبِ غَضَبِكَ وَسَخَطِكَ، لِأَنَّكَ حَمَلْتَنِي وَطَرَحْتَنِي.

11 My days are like a lengthened-out shadow, and I, I am withered like grass.

١١ أَيَّامِي كَظِلٍّ مَائِلٍ، وَأَنَا مِثْلُ ٱلْعُشْبِ يَبِسْتُ.

12 But thou, Jehovah, abidest for ever, and thy memorial from generation to generation.

١٢ أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَارَبُّ فَإِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ جَالِسٌ، وَذِكْرُكَ إِلَى دَوْرٍ فَدَوْرٍ.

13 Thou wilt rise up, thou wilt have mercy upon Zion: for it is the time to be gracious to her, for the set time is come.

١٣ أَنْتَ تَقُومُ وَتَرْحَمُ صِهْيَوْنَ، لِأَنَّهُ وَقْتُ ٱلرَّأْفَةِ، لِأَنَّهُ جَاءَ ٱلْمِيعَادُ.

14 For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour her dust.

١٤ لِأَنَّ عَبِيدَكَ قَدْ سُرُّوا بِحِجَارَتِهَا، وَحَنُّوا إِلَى تُرَابِهَا.

15 And the nations shall fear the name of Jehovah, and all the kings of the earth thy glory.

١٥ فَتَخْشَى ٱلْأُمَمُ ٱسْمَ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَكُلُّ مُلُوكِ ٱلْأَرْضِ مَجْدَكَ.

16 When Jehovah shall build up Zion, he will appear in his glory.

١٦ إِذَا بَنَى ٱلرَّبُّ صِهْيَوْنَ يُرَى بِمَجْدِهِ.

17 He will regard the prayer of the destitute one, and not despise their prayer.

١٧ ٱلْتَفَتَ إِلَى صَلَاةِ ٱلْمُضْطَرِّ، وَلَمْ يَرْذُلْ دُعَاءَهُمْ.

18 This shall be written for the generation to come; and a people that shall be created shall praise Jah:

١٨ يُكْتَبُ هَذَا لِلدَّوْرِ ٱلْآخِرِ، وشَعْبٌ سَوْفَ يُخْلَقُ يُسَبِّحُ ٱلرَّبَّ:

19 For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from the heavens hath Jehovah beheld the earth,

١٩ «لِأَنَّهُ أَشْرَفَ مِنْ عُلْوِ قُدْسِهِ. ٱلرَّبُّ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ نَظَرَ،

20 To hear the groaning of the prisoner, to loose those that are appointed to die;

٢٠ لِيَسْمَعَ أَنِينَ ٱلْأَسِيرِ، لِيُطْلِقَ بَنِي ٱلْمَوْتِ».

21 That the name of Jehovah may be declared in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem,

٢١ لِكَيْ يُحَدَّثَ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَبِتَسْبِيحِهِ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ،

22 When the peoples shall be gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve Jehovah.

٢٢ عِنْدَ ٱجْتِمَاعِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ مَعًا وَٱلْمَمَالِكِ لِعِبَادَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ.

23 He weakened my strength in the way, he shortened my days.

٢٣ ضَعَّفَ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ قُوَّتِي، قَصَّرَ أَيَّامِي.

24 I said, My God, take me not away in the midst of my days! ...Thy years are from generation to generation.

٢٤ أَقُولُ: «يَا إِلَهِي، لَا تَقْبِضْنِي فِي نِصْفِ أَيَّامِي. إِلَى دَهْرِ ٱلدُّهُورِ سِنُوكَ.

25 Of old hast thou founded the earth, and the heavens are the work of thy hands:

٢٥ مِنْ قِدَمٍ أَسَّسْتَ ٱلْأَرْضَ، وَٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ هِيَ عَمَلُ يَدَيْكَ.

26 They shall perish, but thou continuest; and all of them shall grow old as a garment: as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed.

٢٦ هِيَ تَبِيدُ وَأَنْتَ تَبْقَى، وَكُلُّهَا كَثَوْبٍ تَبْلَى، كَرِدَاءٍ تُغَيِّرُهُنَّ فَتَتَغَيَّرُ.

27 But thou art the Same, and thy years shall have no end.

٢٧ وَأَنْتَ هُوَ وَسِنُوكَ لَنْ تَنْتَهِيَ.

28 The children of thy servants shall abide, and their seed shall be established before thee.

٢٨ أَبْنَاءُ عَبِيدِكَ يَسْكُنُونَ، وَذُرِّيَّتُهُمْ تُثَبَّتُ أَمَامَكَ».
