Psalms 73
1 Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart.
| مَزْمُورٌ. لِآسَافَ إِنَّمَا صَالِحٌ ٱللهُ لِإِسْرَائِيلَ، لِأَنْقِيَاءِ ٱلْقَلْبِ. | ١ |
2 But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.
| أَمَّا أَنَا فَكَادَتْ تَزِلُّ قَدَمَايَ. لَوْلَا قَلِيلٌ لَزَلِقَتْ خَطَوَاتِي. | ٢ |
3 For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
| لِأَنِّي غِرْتُ مِنَ ٱلْمُتَكَبِّرِينَ، إِذْ رَأَيْتُ سَلَامَةَ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ. | ٣ |
4 For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm.
| لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَتْ فِي مَوْتِهِمْ شَدَائِدُ، وَجِسْمُهُمْ سَمِينٌ. | ٤ |
5 They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men.
| لَيْسُوا فِي تَعَبِ ٱلنَّاسِ، وَمَعَ ٱلْبَشَرِ لَا يُصَابُونَ. | ٥ |
6 Therefore pride compasses them about as a chain; violence covers them as a garment.
| لِذَلِكَ تَقَلَّدُوا ٱلْكِبْرِيَاءَ. لَبِسُوا كَثَوْبٍ ظُلْمَهُمْ. | ٦ |
7 Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish.
| جَحَظَتْ عُيُونُهُمْ مِنَ ٱلشَّحْمِ. جَاوَزُوا تَصَوُّرَاتِ ٱلْقَلْبِ. | ٧ |
8 They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily.
| يَسْتَهْزِئُونَ وَيَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِٱلشَّرِّ ظُلْمًا. مِنَ ٱلْعَلَاءِ يَتَكَلَّمُونَ. | ٨ |
9 They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walks through the earth.
| جَعَلُوا أَفْوَاهَهُمْ فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ، وَأَلْسِنَتُهُمْ تَتَمَشَّى فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ٩ |
10 Therefore his people return here: and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them.
| لِذَلِكَ يَرْجِعُ شَعْبُهُ إِلَى هُنَا، وَكَمِيَاهٍ مُرْوِيَةٍ يُمْتَصُّونَ مِنْهُمْ. | ١٠ |
11 And they say, How does God know? and is there knowledge in the most High?
| وَقَالُوا: «كَيْفَ يَعْلَمُ ٱللهُ؟ وَهَلْ عِنْدَ ٱلْعَلِيِّ مَعْرِفَةٌ؟». | ١١ |
12 Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches.
| هُوَذَا هَؤُلَاءِ هُمُ ٱلْأَشْرَارُ، وَمُسْتَرِيحِينَ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ يُكْثِرُونَ ثَرْوَةً. | ١٢ |
13 Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocence.
| حَقًّا قَدْ زَكَّيْتُ قَلْبِي بَاطِلًا وَغَسَلْتُ بِٱلنَّقَاوَةِ يَدَيَّ. | ١٣ |
14 For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning.
| وَكُنْتُ مُصَابًا ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ، وَتَأَدَّبْتُ كُلَّ صَبَاحٍ. | ١٤ |
15 If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend against the generation of your children.
| لَوْ قُلْتُ أُحَدِّثُ هَكَذَا، لَغَدَرْتُ بِجِيلِ بَنِيكَ. | ١٥ |
16 When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;
| فَلَمَّا قَصَدْتُ مَعْرِفَةَ هَذَا، إِذَا هُوَ تَعَبٌ فِي عَيْنَيَّ. | ١٦ |
17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end.
| حَتَّى دَخَلْتُ مَقَادِسَ ٱللهِ، وَٱنْتَبَهْتُ إِلَى آخِرَتِهِمْ. | ١٧ |
18 Surely you did set them in slippery places: you casted them down into destruction.
| حَقًّا فِي مَزَالِقَ جَعَلْتَهُمْ. أَسْقَطْتَهُمْ إِلَى ٱلْبَوَارِ. | ١٨ |
19 How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors.
| كَيْفَ صَارُوا لِلْخَرَابِ بَغْتَةً! ٱضْمَحَلُّوا، فَنُوا مِنَ ٱلدَّوَاهِي. | ١٩ |
20 As a dream when one awakes; so, O Lord, when you awake, you shall despise their image.
| كَحُلْمٍ عِنْدَ ٱلتَّيَقُّظِ يَارَبُّ، عِنْدَ ٱلتَّيَقُّظِ تَحْتَقِرُ خَيَالَهُمْ. | ٢٠ |
21 Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins.
| لِأَنَّهُ تَمَرْمَرَ قَلْبِي، وَٱنْتَخَسْتُ فِي كُلْيَتَيَّ. | ٢١ |
22 So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before you.
| وَأَنَا بَلِيدٌ وَلَا أَعْرِفُ. صِرْتُ كَبَهِيمٍ عِنْدَكَ. | ٢٢ |
23 Nevertheless I am continually with you: you have held me by my right hand.
| وَلَكِنِّي دَائِمًا مَعَكَ. أَمْسَكْتَ بِيَدِي ٱلْيُمْنَى. | ٢٣ |
24 You shall guide me with your counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.
| بِرَأْيِكَ تَهْدِينِي، وَبَعْدُ إِلَى مَجْدٍ تَأْخُذُنِي. | ٢٤ |
25 Whom have I in heaven but you? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside you.
| مَنْ لِي فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ؟ وَمَعَكَ لَا أُرِيدُ شَيْئًا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ٢٥ |
26 My flesh and my heart fails: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.
| قَدْ فَنِيَ لَحْمِي وَقَلْبِي. صَخْرَةُ قَلْبِي وَنَصِيبِي ٱللهُ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ. | ٢٦ |
27 For, lo, they that are far from you shall perish: you have destroyed all them that go a whoring from you.
| لِأَنَّهُ هُوَذَا ٱلْبُعَدَاءُ عَنْكَ يَبِيدُونَ. تُهْلِكُ كُلَّ مَنْ يَزْنِي عَنْكَ. | ٢٧ |
28 But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all your works.
| أَمَّا أَنَا فَٱلِٱقْتِرَابُ إِلَى ٱللهِ حَسَنٌ لِي. جَعَلْتُ بِٱلسَّيِّدِ ٱلرَّبِّ مَلْجَإِي، لِأُخْبِرَ بِكُلِّ صَنَائِعِكَ. | ٢٨ |
