< Psalms 94 >

1 O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, show thyself.
يَا رَبُّ أَنْتَ إِلَهُ الانْتِقَامِ، فَتَجَلَّ بِغَضَبِكَ.١
2 Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud.
قُمْ يَا دَيَّانَ الأَرْضِ وَجَازِ الْمُتَكَبِّرِينَ عَلَى أَعْمَالِهِمْ.٢
3 LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?
إِلَى مَتَى يَا رَبُّ يَشْمَتُ الأَشْرَارُ فَرِحِينَ؟٣
4 How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
إِلَى مَتَى يَهْذِرُ عُمَّالُ الإِثْمِ وَيَتَوَاقَحُونَ وَيَتَبَاهَوْنَ بِأَنْفُسِهِمْ؟٤
5 They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thy heritage.
يَسْحَقُونَ شَعْبَكَ يَا رَبُّ وَيَضْطَهِدُونَهُ،٥
6 They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.
يَقْتُلُونَ الأَرْمَلَةَ وَالْغَرِيبَ وَيَذْبَحُونَ الْيَتِيمَ.٦
7 Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it.
وَيَقُولُونَ: «الرَّبُّ لَا يَرَى هَذَا، وَإِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ لَا يُبَالِي».٧
8 Understand, ye stupid among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise?
افْهَمُوا يَا أَغْبِيَاءَ الشَّعْبِ! يَا جُهَّالُ مَتَى تَتَعَقَّلُونَ؟٨
9 He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?
صَانِعُ الأُذُنِ أَلَا يَسْمَعُ؟ جَابِلُ الْعَيْنِ أَلَا يُبْصِرُ؟٩
10 He that chastiseth the heathen, shall he not correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, shall he not know?
مُؤَدِّبُ الأُمَمِ أَلَا يَزْجُرُ وَهُوَ الَّذِي يُعَلِّمُ الإِنْسَانَ الْحِكْمَةَ؟١٠
11 The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
الرَّبُّ يَعْلَمُ أَفْكَارَ الإِنْسَانِ وَيَعْرِفُ أَنَّهَا بَاطِلَةٌ.١١
12 Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out of thy law;
طُوبَى لِلإِنْسَانِ الَّذِي تُؤَدِّبُهُ، وَتُعَلِّمُهُ مِنْ شَرِيعَتِكَ يَا رَبُّ!١٢
13 That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit is dug for the wicked.
لِتُرِيحَهُ مِنْ أَيَّامِ السُّوءِ، إِلَى أَنْ يَمُوتَ الشِّرِّيرُ وَيَتَوَارَى فِي مَثْواهُ.١٣
14 For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.
لَا يَرْفُضُ اللهُ شَعْبَهُ، وَلَا يَنْبِذُ خَاصَّتَهُ.١٤
15 But judgment shall return to righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it.
لأَنَّ القَضَاءَ يُصْبِحُ عَدْلاً وَيُحِبُّهُ جَمِيعُ الْمُسْتَقِيمِي الْقُلُوبِ.١٥
16 Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
مَنْ يَتَوَلَّى عَنِّي مُحَارَبَةَ الأَشْرَارِ؟ مَنْ يُجَابِهُ عَنِّي فَاعِلِي الإِثْمِ؟١٦
17 Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.
لَوْ لَمْ يَكُنِ الرَّبُّ مُعِينِي لَسَكَنَتْ نَفْسِي الْقَبْرَ.١٧
18 When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up.
قُلْتُ: قَدْ زَلَّتْ قَدَمِي. وَلَكِنَّ رَحْمَتَكَ يَا رَبُّ صَارَتْ لِي سَنَداً.١٨
19 In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul.
عِنْدَ كَثْرَةِ هُمُومِي فِي دَاخِلِي تَبْتَهِجُ نَفْسِي بِتَعْزِيَاتِكَ.١٩
20 Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law?
أَيُحَالِفُكَ مَلِكُ الشَّرِّ الْمُخْتَلِقُ إثْماً لِيَجْعَلَ الظُّلْمَ شَرِيعَةً لِلْقَضَاءِ؟٢٠
21 They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.
يَجْتَمِعُونَ مَعاً لِلْقَضَاءِ عَلَى حَيَاةِ الصِّدِّيقِ، وَيَحْكُمُونَ عَلَى الْبَرِيءِ بِالْمَوْتِ.٢١
22 But the LORD is my defence; and my God is the rock of my refuge.
وَلَكِنَّ الرَّبَّ هُوَ حِصْنِي الْمَنِيعُ؛ إِلَهِي هُوَ الصَّخْرَةُ الَّتِي بِها أَحْتَمِي.٢٢
23 And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; yea, the LORD our God shall cut them off.
غَيْرَ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَنَا يُعَاقِبُهُمْ عَلَى إِثْمِهِمْ، وَيُبِيدُهُمْ بِشَرِّهِمْ.٢٣
