Psalms 109
1 For the chief musician. A psalm of David. God whom I praise, do not be silent,
| لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ – مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ يَا اللهُ، يَا مَنْ أُسَبِّحُهُ، لَا تَعْتَصِمْ بِالصَّمْتِ. | ١ |
2 For the wicked and deceitful attack me; they speak lies against me.
| فَقَدْ فَغَرَ أَشْرَارٌ مُخَادِعُونَ أَفْوَاهَهُمْ ضِدِّي، وَتَقَوَّلُوا عَلَيَّ بِالكَذِبِ، | ٢ |
3 They surround me and say hateful things, and they attack me without cause.
| يُحَاصِرُونَنِي بِكَلامِ بُغْضٍ، وَيُهَاجِمُونَنِي مِنْ غَيْرِ عِلَّةٍ. | ٣ |
4 In return for my love they accuse me, but I pray for them.
| يُبَادِلُونَ مَحَبَّتِي بِخِصَامٍ، أَمَّا أَنَا فَأُصَلِّي مِنْ أَجْلِهِمْ. | ٤ |
5 They repay me evil for good, and they hate my love.
| يُجَازُونَنِي شَرّاً مُقَابِلَ خَيْرِي، وَبُغْضاً بَدَلَ حُبِّي. | ٥ |
6 Appoint a wicked man over such an enemy as these people; appoint an accuser to stand at his right hand.
| وَلِّ عَلَى عَدُوِّي قَاضِياً ظَالِماً، وَلْيَقِفْ خَصْمُهُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ يَتَّهِمُهُ جَوْراً. | ٦ |
7 When he is judged, may he be found guilty; may his prayer be considered sinful.
| عِنْدَ مُحَاكَمَتِهِ لِيَثْبُتْ عَلَيْهِ ذَنْبُهُ، وَلْتُحْسَبْ لَهُ صَلاتُهُ خَطِيئَةً. | ٧ |
8 May his days be few; may another take his office.
| لِتَقْصُرْ أَيَّامُهُ وَلْيَتَوَلَّ وَظِيفَتَهُ آخَرُ. | ٨ |
9 May his children be fatherless, and may his wife be a widow.
| لِيَتَيَتَّمْ بَنُوهُ وَتَتَرَمَّلْ زَوْجَتُهُ. | ٩ |
10 May his children wander about and beg, asking for handouts as they leave their ruined home.
| لِيَتَشَرَّدْ بَنُوهُ وَيَسْتَعْطُوا، وَلْيَلْتَمِسُوا قُوتَهُمْ بَعِيداً عَنْ خَرَائِبِ سُكْنَاهُمْ. | ١٠ |
11 May the creditor take all he owns; may strangers plunder what he earns.
| لِيَسْتَرْهِنِ الْمُدَايِنُ كُلَّ مُمْتَلَكَاتِهِ، وَلْيَنْهَبِ الْغُرَبَاءُ ثِمَارَ تَعَبِهِ. | ١١ |
12 May no one extend any kindness to him; may no one have pity on his fatherless children.
| لِيَنْقَرِضْ مَنْ يَتَرَاءَفُ عَلَيْهِ، وَلْيَنْقَطِعْ مَنْ يَتَحَنَّنُ عَلَى أَيْتَامِهِ. | ١٢ |
13 May his children be cut off; may their name be blotted out in the next generation.
| لِيَنْقَرِضْ نَسْلُهُ وَلْيُمْحَ اسْمُهُمْ مِنَ الْجِيلِ الْقَادِمِ. | ١٣ |
14 May his ancestors' sins be mentioned to Yahweh; and may the sin of his mother not be forgotten.
| لِيَذْكُرِ الرَّبُّ إِثْمَ آبَائِهِ، وَلَا يَغْفِرْ خَطِيئَةَ أُمِّهِ. | ١٤ |
15 May their guilt always be before Yahweh; may Yahweh cut off their memory from the earth.
| لِتَمْثُلْ خَطَايَاهُمْ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ دَائِماً كَيْ يَسْتَأْصِلَ مِنَ الأَرْضِ ذِكْرَهُمْ. | ١٥ |
16 May Yahweh do this because this man never bothered to show any covenant faithfulness, but instead harassed the oppressed, the needy, and the disheartened to death.
| لأَنَّهُ تَغَافَلَ عَنْ إِبْدَاءِ الرَّحْمَةِ، بَلْ تَعَقَّبَ الفَقِيرَ الْمُنْسَحِقَ الْقَلْبِ، لِيُمِيتَهُ. | ١٦ |
17 He loved cursing; may it come back upon him. He hated blessing; may no blessing come to him.
| أَحَبَّ اللَّعْنَةَ فَلَحِقَتْ بِهِ، وَلَمْ يُسَرَّ بِالْبَرَكَةِ فَابْتَعَدَتْ عَنْهُ. | ١٧ |
18 He clothed himself with cursing as his garment, and his curse came into his inner being like water, like oil into his bones.
| اكْتَسَى اللَّعْنَةَ كَرِدَاءٍ، فَتَسَرَّبَتْ إِلَى بَاطِنِهِ كَالْمِيَاهِ وَإِلَى عِظَامِهِ كَالزَّيْتِ. | ١٨ |
19 May his curses be to him like the clothes he wears to cover himself, like the belt he always wears.
| فَلْتَكُنْ لَهُ كَرِدَاءٍ يَتَلَفَّعُ بِهِ، وَكَحِزَامٍ يَتَنَطَّقُ بِهِ دَائِماً. | ١٩ |
20 May this be the reward of my accusers from Yahweh, of those who say evil things about me.
| هَذِهِ أُجْرَةُ مُبْغِضِيَّ مِنْ عِنْدِ الرَّبِّ، النَّاطِقِينَ شَرّاً عَلَى نَفْسِي. | ٢٠ |
21 Yahweh my Lord, deal kindly with me for your name's sake. Because your covenant faithfulness is good, save me.
| أَمَّا أَنْتَ أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ السَّيِّدُ فَأَحْسِنْ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَجْلِ اسْمِكَ، وَأَنْقِذْنِي لأَنَّ رَحْمَتَكَ صَالِحَةٌ. | ٢١ |
22 For I am oppressed and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.
| فَإِنِّي فَقِيرٌ وَمِسْكِينٌ وَقَلْبِي جَرِيحٌ فِي دَاخِلِي. | ٢٢ |
23 I am fading away like the shadow of the evening; I am shaken off like a locust.
| قَدْ تَلاشَيْتُ كَالظِّلِّ عِنْدَ الْمَغِيبِ، وَانْتَفَضْتُ كَجَرَادَةٍ. | ٢٣ |
24 My knees are weak from fasting; I am turning to skin and bones.
| وَهَنَتْ رُكْبَتَايَ مِنَ الصَّوْمِ، وَهُزِلَ جَسَدِي كَثِيراً. | ٢٤ |
25 I am disdained by my accusers; when they see me, they shake their heads.
| صِرْتُ عِنْدَهُمْ عَاراً، يَنْظُرُونَ إِلَيَّ فَيَهُزُّونَ رُؤُوسَهُمْ شَامِتِينَ. | ٢٥ |
26 Help me, Yahweh my God; save me by your covenant faithfulness.
| أَعِنِّي يَا رَبُّ يَا إِلَهِي، خَلِّصْنِي بِمُقْتَضَى رَحْمَتِكَ. | ٢٦ |
27 May they know that this is your doing, that you, Yahweh, have done this.
| فَيُدْرِكُوا أَنَّ هَذِهِ هِيَ يَدُكَ، وَأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ يَا رَبُّ قَدْ فَعَلْتَ هَذَا الأَمْرَ. | ٢٧ |
28 Though they curse me, please bless me; when they attack, may they be put to shame, but may your servant rejoice.
| هُمْ يَلْعَنُونَنِي أَمَّا أَنْتَ فَتُبَارِكُنِي. لِيَخْزَ المُشْتَكُونَ عَلَيَّ، فَأَفْرَحَ أَنَا عَبْدَكَ. | ٢٨ |
29 May my adversaries be clothed with shame; may they wear their shame like a robe.
| لِيَكْتَسِ خُصُومِي خَجَلاً، وَلْيَتَلَفَّعُوا بِخِزْيِهِمْ كَالرِّدَاءِ. | ٢٩ |
30 With my mouth I give great thanks to Yahweh; I will praise him in the midst of a crowd.
| بِهُتَافٍ أَرْفَعُ لِلرَّبِّ شُكْراً عَظِيماً، وَفِي وَسَطِ جُمْهُورٍ غَفِيرٍ أُسَبِّحُهُ. | ٣٠ |
31 For he will stand at the right hand of the one who is needy, to save him from those who judge him.
| لأَنَّهُ يَقِفُ عَنْ يَمِينِ المَظْلُومِ لِيُخَلِّصَهُ مِنَ الْحَاكِمِينَ عَلَيْهِ بِالْمَوْتِ. | ٣١ |
