Psalms 73
1 A Psalm of Asaph. 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 afflicted like [other] men.
| لَيْسُوا فِي تَعَبِ ٱلنَّاسِ، وَمَعَ ٱلْبَشَرِ لَا يُصَابُونَ. | ٥ |
6 Therefore pride encompasseth them as a chain; violence covereth 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 walketh through the earth.
| جَعَلُوا أَفْوَاهَهُمْ فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ، وَأَلْسِنَتُهُمْ تَتَمَشَّى فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ٩ |
10 Therefore his people return hither: 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 doth 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 afflicted, 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 thy 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] I understood their end.
| حَتَّى دَخَلْتُ مَقَادِسَ ٱللهِ، وَٱنْتَبَهْتُ إِلَى آخِرَتِهِمْ. | ١٧ |
18 Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou didst cast 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] awaketh; [so], O LORD, when thou awakest, thou wilt 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 thee.
| وَأَنَا بَلِيدٌ وَلَا أَعْرِفُ. صِرْتُ كَبَهِيمٍ عِنْدَكَ. | ٢٢ |
23 Nevertheless I [am] continually with thee: thou hast held [me] by my right hand.
| وَلَكِنِّي دَائِمًا مَعَكَ. أَمْسَكْتَ بِيَدِي ٱلْيُمْنَى. | ٢٣ |
24 Thou wilt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me [to] glory.
| بِرَأْيِكَ تَهْدِينِي، وَبَعْدُ إِلَى مَجْدٍ تَأْخُذُنِي. | ٢٤ |
25 Whom have I in heaven [but thee]? and [there is] none upon earth [that] I desire besides thee.
| مَنْ لِي فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ؟ وَمَعَكَ لَا أُرِيدُ شَيْئًا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ٢٥ |
26 My flesh and my heart faileth: [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 thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go astray from thee.
| 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 thy works.
| أَمَّا أَنَا فَٱلِٱقْتِرَابُ إِلَى ٱللهِ حَسَنٌ لِي. جَعَلْتُ بِٱلسَّيِّدِ ٱلرَّبِّ مَلْجَإِي، لِأُخْبِرَ بِكُلِّ صَنَائِعِكَ. | ٢٨ |
