Psalms 79
1 A Psalm of Asaph. O God, nations have come into Thy inheritance, They have defiled Thy holy temple, They made Jerusalem become heaps,
| مَزْمُورٌ لآسَافَ يَا اللهُ، إِنَّ الأُمَمَ قَدْ دَخَلَتْ مِيرَاثَكَ وَنَجَّسَتْ هَيْكَلَكَ الْمُقَدَّسَ وَجَعَلَتْ أُورُشَلِيمَ أَكْوَاماً. | ١ |
2 They gave the dead bodies of Thy servants Food for the fowls of the heavens, The flesh of Thy saints For the wild beast of the earth.
| جَعَلُوا جُثَثَ عَبِيدِكَ مَأْكَلاً لِطُيُورِ السَّمَاءِ، وَلُحُومَ قِدِّيسِيكَ لِوُحُوشِ الأَرْضِ. | ٢ |
3 They have shed their blood As water round about Jerusalem, And there is none burying.
| سَفَكُوا دِمَاءَهُمْ كَالْمَاءِ حَوْلَ أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَلَيْسَ هُنَاكَ مَنْ يَدْفِنُهُمْ. | ٣ |
4 We have been a reproach to our neighbours, A scorn and a derision to our surrounders.
| قَدْ صِرْنَا عَاراً عِنْدَ جِيرَانِنَا، وَمَثَارَ هُزْءٍ وَأُضْحُوكَةً لِمَنْ حَوْلَنَا. | ٤ |
5 Till when, O Jehovah? art Thou angry for ever? Thy jealousy doth burn as fire.
| إِلَى مَتَى يَدُومُ هَذَا يَا رَبُّ؟ أَتَبْقَى غَاضِباً تَتَّقِدُ غَيْرَتُكَ كَالنَّارِ إِلَى الأَبَدِ؟ | ٥ |
6 Pour Thy fury on the nations who have not known Thee, And on kingdoms that have not called in Thy name.
| صُبَّ غَضَبَكَ عَلَى الأُمَمِ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوكَ، وَعَلَى الْمَمَالِكِ الَّتِي لَمْ تَدْعُ بِاسْمِكَ، | ٦ |
7 For [one] hath devoured Jacob, And his habitation they have made desolate.
| فَإِنَّهُمْ قَدِ افْتَرَسُوا يَعْقُوبَ وَقَوَّضُوا مَسْكَنَهُ. | ٧ |
8 Remember not for us the iniquities of forefathers, Haste, let Thy mercies go before us, For we have been very weak.
| لَا تَذْكُرْ عَلَيْنَا آثَامَ أَجْدَادِنَا، بَلْ دَعْ مَرَاحِمَكَ تُوَافِينَا سَرِيعاً، لأَنَّنَا قَدْ تَذَلَّلْنَا جِدّاً. | ٨ |
9 Help us, O God of our salvation, Because of the honour of Thy name, And deliver us, and cover over our sins, For Thy name's sake.
| أَغِثْنَا أَيُّهَا الإِلَهُ مُخَلِّصُنَا مِنْ أَجْلِ مَجْدِكَ. أَنْقِذْنَا وَاغْفِرْ لَنَا خَطَايَانَا مِنْ أَجْلِ اسْمِكَ. | ٩ |
10 Why do the nations say, 'Where [is] their God?' Let be known among the nations before our eyes, The vengeance of the blood of Thy servants that is shed.
| لِمَاذَا تَسْأَلُنَا الأُمَمُ: أَيْنَ إِلَهُكُمْ؟ دَعْنَا نَرَى كَيْفَ يَذِيعُ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ خَبَرُ انْتِقَامِكَ لِدِمَاءِ عَبِيدِكَ الْمَسْفُوكَةِ. | ١٠ |
11 Let the groaning of the prisoner come in before Thee, According to the greatness of Thine arm, Leave Thou the sons of death.
| لِيَتَصَاعَدْ أَمَامَكَ أَنِينُ الْمَأْسُورِ. حَافِظْ بِعَظَمَةِ قُوَّتِكَ عَلَى الْمَحْكُومِ عَلَيْهِمْ بِالْمَوْتِ. | ١١ |
12 And turn Thou back to our neighbours, Sevenfold unto their bosom, their reproach, Wherewith they reproached Thee, O Lord.
| رُدَّ يَا رَبُّ عَلَى الأُمَمِ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ مَا عَيَّرُوكَ وَأَهَانُوكَ بِهِ، | ١٢ |
13 And we, Thy people, and the flock of Thy pasture, We give thanks to Thee to the age, To all generations we recount Thy praise!
| فَنَحْمَدَكَ نَحْنُ شَعْبَكَ وَغَنَمَ مَرْعَاكَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ وَنُذِيعَ تَسْبِيحَكَ مِنْ جِيلٍ إِلَى جِيلٍ. | ١٣ |
