Psalms 10
1 Why, Yahweh, do you stand far off? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?
| رَبُّ، لِمَاذَا تَقِفُ بَعِيداً وَتَحْتَجِبُ فِي أَزْمِنَةِ الضِّيقِ؟ | ١ |
2 Because of their arrogance, wicked people chase the oppressed; but please let the wicked be trapped by their own schemes that they have devised.
| الشِّرِّيرُ، بِعَجْرَفَةٍ، يَجِدُّ فِي تَعَقُّبِ الْمِسْكِينِ، غَيْرَ أَنَّ الأَشْرَارَ يَسْقُطُونَ فِي مُؤَامَرَتِهِمِ الَّتِي فَكَّرُوا فِيهَا. | ٢ |
3 For the wicked person boasts of his deepest desires; he blesses the greedy and insults Yahweh.
| الشِّرِّيرُ يَفْتَخِرُ بِشَهَوَاتِ نَفْسِهِ، وَالرَّجُلُ الطَّمَّاعُ يَلْعَنُ وَيُجَدِّفُ عَلَى اللهِ. | ٣ |
4 The wicked man has a raised face; he does not seek God. He never thinks about God because he does not care at all about him.
| فِي تَكَبُّرِهِ وَتَشَامُخِهِ لَا يَلْتَمِسُ اللهَ، وَلَا مَكَانَ لِلهِ فِي أَفْكَارِهِ كُلِّهَا، | ٤ |
5 He is secure at all times, but your righteous decrees are too high for him; he snorts at all his enemies.
| وَمَعْ ذَلِكَ فَإِنَّ مَسَاعِيَهُ تَبْدُو نَاجِحَةً، وَيَسْتَخِفُّ بِجَمِيعِ أَعْدَائِهِ. وَلَكِنَّ أَحْكَامَكَ عَالِيَةٌ أَسْمَى مِنْهُ | ٥ |
6 He says in his heart,” I will never fail; throughout all generations I will not meet adversity.”
| قَالَ فِي نَفْسِهِ: «لَنْ يُزَحْزِحَنِي شَيْءٌ، وَلَنْ يَنَالَنِي مَكْرُوهٌ قَطُّ». | ٦ |
7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceptive, harmful words; his tongue injures and destroys.
| فَمُهُ مَمْلُوءٌ لَعْنَةً وَغِشّاً وَظُلْماً. تَحْتَ لِسَانِهِ الأَذَى وَالإِثْمُ. | ٧ |
8 He waits in ambush near the villages; in the secret places he murders the innocent; his eyes look for some helpless victim.
| يَتَرَبَّصُ فِي كَمَائِنِ الدِّيَارِ لِيَقْتُلَ الْبَرِيءَ. عَيْنَاهُ تَتَرَصَّدَانِ الْمِسْكِينَ. | ٨ |
9 He lurks in secret like a lion in the thicket; he lies in wait to catch the oppressed. He catches the oppressed when he pulls in his net.
| يَكْمُنُ فِي الْخَفَاءِ، كَأَسَدٍ فِي عَرِينِهِ لِيَخْطِفَ الْمِسْكِينَ وَيَجُرَّهُ فِي شَبَكَتِهِ. | ٩ |
10 His victims are crushed and beaten down; they fall into his strong nets.
| يَسْحَقُ الْمَسَاكِينَ وَيَدُوسُهُمْ حِينَ يَسْقُطُونَ بَيْنَ مَخَالِبِهِ الْقَوِيَّةِ. | ١٠ |
11 He says in his heart, “God has forgotten; he covers his face; he will not bother to look.”
| يَقُولُ فِي قَلْبِهِ: اللهُ غَافِلٌ. قَدْ حَجَبَ وَجْهَهُ، وَلَنْ يَرَى مَا يَجْرِي | ١١ |
12 Arise, Yahweh! Lift up your hand, God! Do not forget the oppressed.
| قُمْ يَا رَبُّ، ارْفَعْ يَدَكَ يَا اللهُ، لَا تَنْسَ الْمَسَاكِينَ. | ١٢ |
13 Why does the wicked man reject God and say in his heart, “You will not hold me accountable”?
| لِمَاذَا يَسْتَهِينُ الشِّرِّيرُ بِاللهِ قَائِلاً فِي قَلْبِهِ: إِنَّكَ لَا تُحَاسِبُهُ؟ | ١٣ |
14 You have taken notice, for you always see the one who inflicts the misery and sorrow. The helpless entrusts himself to you; you rescue the fatherless.
| وَلَكِنَّكَ قَدْ رَأَيْتَ. عَايَنْتَ مَا أَصَابَ الْمَسَاكِينَ مِنَ الْمَشَقَّةِ وَالْغَمِّ، فَتُجَازِي الشِّرِّيرَ بِيَدِكَ. يُسَلِّمُ إِلَيْكَ الْمِسْكِينُ أَمْرَهُ، فَأَنْتَ دَائِماً مُعِينُ الْيَتِيمِ. | ١٤ |
15 Break the arm of the wicked and evil man. Make him account for his evil deeds, which he thought you would not discover.
| حَطِّمْ ذِرَاعَ الشِّرِّيرِ وَالْفَاجِرِ. حَاسِبْهُ عَلَى شَرِّهِ، حَتَّى لَا تَجِدَهُ. | ١٥ |
16 Yahweh is King forever and ever; the nations are driven out of his land.
| الرَّبُّ مَلِكٌ إِلَى أَبَدِ الدُّهُورِ، قَدْ بَادَتْ مِنْ أَرْضِهِ الأُمَمُ (الَّتِي تَعْبُدُ آلِهَةً سِوَاهُ) | ١٦ |
17 Yahweh, you have heard the needs of the oppressed; you strengthen their heart, you listen to their prayer;
| أَنْتَ يَا رَبُّ تَسْتَجِيبُ طِلْبَةَ الْوُدَعَاءِ، تُشَدِّدُ قُلُوبَهُمْ إِذْ تُصْغِي (إِلَى تَأَوُّهَاتِهِمْ). | ١٧ |
18 You defend the fatherless and the oppressed so that no man on the earth will cause terror again.
| تُنْصِفُ الْيَتِيمَ وَالْمَقْهُورَ، فَلَا يَعُودُ إِنْسَانٌ فِي الأَرْضِ يُرْعِبُهُمْ. | ١٨ |
