Psalms 44
1 [For the Chief Musician. By the sons of Korah. A contemplative psalm.] We have heard with our ears, God; our fathers have told us, what work you did in their days, in the days of old.
| لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ. لِبَنِي قُورَحَ. قَصِيدَةٌ اَللَّهُمَّ، بِآذَانِنَا قَدْ سَمِعْنَا. آبَاؤُنَا أَخْبَرُونَا بِعَمَلٍ عَمِلْتَهُ فِي أَيَّامِهِمْ، فِي أَيَّامِ ٱلْقِدَمِ. | ١ |
2 You drove out the nations with your hand, but you planted them. You afflicted the peoples, but you spread them abroad.
| أَنْتَ بِيَدِكَ ٱسْتَأْصَلْتَ ٱلْأُمَمَ وَغَرَسْتَهُمْ. حَطَّمْتَ شُعُوبًا وَمَدَدْتَهُمْ. | ٢ |
3 For they did not get the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them; but your right hand, and your arm, and the light of your face, because you were favorable to them.
| لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ بِسَيْفِهِمْ ٱمْتَلَكُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ، وَلَا ذِرَاعُهُمْ خَلَّصَتْهُمْ، لَكِنْ يَمِينُكَ وَذِرَاعُكَ وَنُورُ وَجْهِكَ، لِأَنَّكَ رَضِيتَ عَنْهُمْ. | ٣ |
4 You are my King, my God, who commands victories for Jacob.
| أَنْتَ هُوَ مَلِكِي يَا ٱللهُ، فَأْمُرْ بِخَلَاصِ يَعْقُوبَ. | ٤ |
5 Through you we will push back our adversaries. Through your name we will trample down those who rise up against us.
| بِكَ نَنْطَحُ مُضَايِقِينَا. بِٱسْمِكَ نَدُوسُ ٱلْقَائِمِينَ عَلَيْنَا. | ٥ |
6 For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me.
| لِأَنِّي عَلَى قَوْسِي لَا أَتَّكِلُ، وَسَيْفِي لَا يُخَلِّصُنِي. | ٦ |
7 But you have saved us from our adversaries, and have shamed those who hate us.
| لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ خَلَّصْتَنَا مِنْ مُضَايِقِينَا، وَأَخْزَيْتَ مُبْغِضِينَا. | ٧ |
8 In God we have made our boast all day long, we will give thanks to your name forever. (Selah)
| بِٱللهِ نَفْتَخِرُ ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ، وَٱسْمَكَ نَحْمَدُ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ. سِلَاهْ. | ٨ |
9 But now you rejected us, and brought us to dishonor, and do not go out with our armies.
| لَكِنَّكَ قَدْ رَفَضْتَنَا وَأَخْجَلْتَنَا، وَلَا تَخْرُجُ مَعَ جُنُودِنَا. | ٩ |
10 You make us turn back from the adversary. Those who hate us take spoil for themselves.
| تُرْجِعُنَا إِلَى ٱلْوَرَاءِ عَنِ ٱلْعَدُوِّ، وَمُبْغِضُونَا نَهَبُوا لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ. | ١٠ |
11 You have made us like sheep for food, and have scattered us among the nations.
| جَعَلْتَنَا كَٱلضَّأْنِ أُكْلًا. ذَرَّيْتَنَا بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ. | ١١ |
12 You sell your people for nothing, and have gained nothing from their sale.
| بِعْتَ شَعْبَكَ بِغَيْرِ مَالٍ، وَمَا رَبِحْتَ بِثَمَنِهِمْ. | ١٢ |
13 You make us the taunt of our neighbors, a scoffing and a derision to those who are around us.
| تَجْعَلُنَا عَارًا عِنْدَ جِيرَانِنَا، هُزْأَةً وَسُخْرَةً لِلَّذِينَ حَوْلَنَا. | ١٣ |
14 You make us a byword among the nations, a shaking of the head among the peoples.
| تَجْعَلُنَا مَثَلًا بَيْنَ ٱلشُّعُوبِ. لِإِنْغَاضِ ٱلرَّأْسِ بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ. | ١٤ |
15 All day long my dishonor is before me, and shame covers my face,
| ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ خَجَلِي أَمَامِي، وَخِزْيُ وَجْهِي قَدْ غَطَّانِي. | ١٥ |
16 At the taunt of one who reproaches and verbally abuses, because of the enemy and the avenger.
| مِنْ صَوْتِ ٱلْمُعَيِّرِ وَٱلشَّاتِمِ. مِنْ وَجْهِ عَدُوٍّ وَمُنْتَقِمٍ. | ١٦ |
17 All this has come on us, yet have we not forgotten you, Neither have we been false to your covenant.
| هَذَا كُلُّهُ جَاءَ عَلَيْنَا، وَمَا نَسِينَاكَ وَلَا خُنَّا فِي عَهْدِكَ. | ١٧ |
18 Our heart has not turned back, neither have our steps strayed from your path,
| لَمْ يَرْتَدَّ قَلْبُنَا إِلَى وَرَاءٍ، وَلَا مَالَتْ خَطْوَتُنَا عَنْ طَرِيقِكَ، | ١٨ |
19 Though you have crushed us in the haunt of jackals, and covered us with the shadow of death.
| حَتَّى سَحَقْتَنَا فِي مَكَانِ ٱلتَّنَانِينِ، وَغَطَّيْتَنَا بِظِلِّ ٱلْمَوْتِ. | ١٩ |
20 If we have forgotten the name of our God, or spread forth our hands to a strange god;
| إِنْ نَسِينَا ٱسْمَ إِلَهِنَا أَوْ بَسَطْنَا أَيْدِيَنَا إِلَى إِلَهٍ غَرِيبٍ، | ٢٠ |
21 won't God search this out? For he knows the secrets of the heart.
| أَفَلَا يَفْحَصُ ٱللهُ عَنْ هَذَا؟ لِأَنَّهُ هُوَ يَعْرِفُ خَفِيَّاتِ ٱلْقَلْبِ. | ٢١ |
22 For your sake we are killed all day long. We are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.
| لِأَنَّنَا مِنْ أَجْلِكَ نُمَاتُ ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ. قَدْ حُسِبْنَا مِثْلَ غَنَمٍ لِلذَّبْحِ. | ٢٢ |
23 Wake up. Why do you sleep, Jehovah? Arise. Do not reject us forever.
| اِسْتَيْقِظْ! لِمَاذَا تَتَغَافَى يَارَبُّ؟ ٱنْتَبِهْ! لَا تَرْفُضْ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. | ٢٣ |
24 Why do you hide your face, and forget our affliction and our oppression?
| لِمَاذَا تَحْجُبُ وَجْهَكَ وَتَنْسَى مَذَلَّتَنَا وَضِيقَنَا؟ | ٢٤ |
25 For our soul is bowed down to the dust. Our body cleaves to the earth.
| لِأَنَّ أَنْفُسَنَا مُنْحَنِيَةٌ إِلَى ٱلتُّرَابِ. لَصِقَتْ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ بُطُونُنَا. | ٢٥ |
26 Rise up to help us. Redeem us for your loving kindness' sake.
| قُمْ عَوْنًا لَنَا وَٱفْدِنَا مِنْ أَجْلِ رَحْمَتِكَ. | ٢٦ |
