< Psalms 80 >

1 To the Overseer. — 'On the Lilies.' A testimony of Asaph. — A Psalm. Shepherd of Israel, give ear, Leading Joseph as a flock, Inhabiting the cherubs — shine forth,
لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ. عَلَى السُّوسَنِّ. أَصْغِ يَا رَاعِيَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، يَا مَنْ قُدْتَ (قَوْمَ) يُوسُفَ كَالْقَطِيعِ. تَجَلَّ يَا مَنْ بِنِعْمَتِكَ تَجْلِسُ عَلَى عَرْشِكَ فَوْقَ الْكَرُوبِيمِ١
2 Before Ephraim, and Benjamin, and Manasseh, Wake up Thy might, and come for our salvation.
اسْتَثِرْ قُوَّتَكَ الْعَظِيمَةَ أَمَامَ أَفْرَايِمَ وَبَنْيَامِينَ وَمَنَسَّى، وَتَعَالَ لإِنْقَاذِنَا.٢
3 O God, cause us to turn back, And cause Thy face to shine, and we are saved.
يَا اللهُ رُدَّنَا إِلَيْكَ وَأَنِرْ بِوَجْهِكَ عَلَيْنَا فَنَخْلُصَ.٣
4 Jehovah, God of Hosts, till when? Thou hast burned against the prayer of Thy people.
يَا رَبُّ إِلَهَ الْجُنُودِ، إِلَى مَتَى تَظَلُّ غَاضِباً عَلَى صَلاةِ شَعْبِكَ.٤
5 Thou hast caused them to eat bread of tears, And causest them to drink With tears a third time.
لَقَدْ أَطْعَمْتَهُمْ خُبْزَ الدُّمُوعِ وَسَقَيْتَهُمْ كُؤُوساً طَافِحَةً بِالْعَبَرَاتِ٥
6 Thou makest us a strife to our neighbours, And our enemies mock at it.
جَعَلْتَنَا مَصْدَرَ نِزَاعٍ لِجِيرَانِنَا وَمَثَارَ هُزْءٍ لأَعْدَائِنَا.٦
7 God of Hosts, turn us back, And cause Thy face to shine, and we are saved.
يَا إِلَهَ الْجُنُودِ رُدَّنَا إِلَيْكَ، وَأَنِرْ بِوَجْهِكَ عَلَيْنَا فَنَخْلُصَ.٧
8 A vine out of Egypt Thou dost bring, Thou dost cast out nations, and plantest it.
نَقَلْتَ كَرْمَةً (أَيْ الشَّعْبَ) مِنْ مِصْرَ. طَرَدْتَ أُمَماً وَغَرَسْتَهَا مَكَانَهُمْ.٨
9 Thou hast looked before it, and dost root it, And it filleth the land,
أَوْسَعْتَ لَهَا فَتَأَصَّلَتْ جُذُورُهَا فِي الْعُمْقِ وَمَلأَتِ الأَرْضَ.٩
10 Covered have been hills [with] its shadow, And its boughs [are] cedars of God.
غَطَّى الْجِبَالَ ظِلُّهَا، وَشَابَهَتْ أَغْصَانُهَا الأَرْزَ الْعَظِيمَ،١٠
11 It sendeth forth its branches unto the sea, And unto the river its sucklings.
مَدَّتْ قُضْبَانَهَا إِلَى الْبَحْرِ الْمُتَوَسِّطِ وَفُرُوعَهَا إِلَى نَهْرِ الْفُرَاتِ.١١
12 Why hast Thou broken down its hedges, And all passing by the way have plucked it?
لِمَاذَا هَدَمْتَ سِيَاجَهَا فَيَقْطِفَهَا كُلُّ عَابِرِي الطَّرِيقِ؟١٢
13 A boar out of the forest doth waste it, And a wild beast of the fields consumeth it.
يُتْلِفُهَا الْخِنْزِيرُ الطَّالِعُ مِنَ الْغَابَةِ، وَيَرْعَاهَا وَحْشُ الْبَرَارِي.١٣
14 God of Hosts, turn back, we beseech Thee, Look from heaven, and see, and inspect this vine,
يَا إِلَهَ الْجُنُودِ ارْجِعَنَّ. تَطَلَّعْ مِنَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَانْظُرْ إِلَى هَذِهِ الْكَرْمَةِ وَتَعَهَّدْهَا بِنِعْمَتِكَ.١٤
15 And the root that Thy right hand planted, And the branch Thou madest strong for Thee,
(تَفَقَّدْ) هَذِهِ الكَرْمَةَ الَّتِي غَرَسَتْهَا يَمِينُكَ، وَابْنَ آدَمَ الَّذِي اخْتَرْتَهُ لِنَفْسِكَ.١٥
16 Burnt with fire — cut down, From the rebuke of Thy face they perish.
لَقَدْ أَحْرَقَهَا أَعْدَاؤُنَا بِالنَّارِ. لَيْتَهُمْ مِنْ زَجْرِ طَلْعَتِكَ يَبِيدُونَ.١٦
17 Let Thy hand be on the man of Thy right hand, On the son of man Thou hast strengthened for Thyself.
لِتَكُنْ يَدُكَ عَلَى الإِنْسَانِ الْجَالِسِ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ، عَلَى ابْنِ آدَمَ الَّذِي اخْتَرْتَهُ لِنَفْسِكَ،١٧
18 And we do not go back from Thee, Thou dost revive us, and in Thy name we call.
فَلَا نَرْتَدَّ عَنْكَ. أَحْيِنَا فَنَدْعُوَ بِاسْمِكَ.١٨
19 O Jehovah, God of Hosts, turn us back, Cause Thy face to shine, and we are saved!
يَا رَبُّ يَا إِلَهَ الْجُنُودِ رُدَّنَا إِلَيْكَ، وَأَنِرْ بِوَجْهِكَ عَلَيْنَا فَنَخْلُصَ.١٩
