لامام المغنين.قصيدة لبني قورح. | |
| 1 كَمَا يَشْتَاقُ الإِيَّلُ إِلَى جَدَاوِلِ الْمِيَاهِ، هكَذَا تَشْتَاقُ نَفْسِي إِلَيْكَ يَا اللهُ. | 1 As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. |
|
| 2 عَطِشَتْ نَفْسِي إِلَى اللهِ، إِلَى الإِلهِ الْحَيِّ. مَتَى أَجِيءُ وَأَتَرَاءَى قُدَّامَ اللهِ؟ | 2 My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God? |
|
| 3 صَارَتْ لِي دُمُوعِي خُبْزًا نَهَارًا وَلَيْلاً إِذْ قِيلَ لِي كُلَّ يَوْمٍ: «أَيْنَ إِلهُكَ؟ ». | 3 My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God? |
|
| 4 هذِهِ أَذْكُرُهَا فَأَسْكُبُ نَفْسِي عَلَيَّ: لأَنِّي كُنْتُ أَمُرُّ مَعَ الْجُمَّاعِ، أَتَدَرَّجُ مَعَهُمْ إِلَى بَيْتِ اللهِ بِصَوْتِ تَرَنُّمٍ وَحَمْدٍ، جُمْهُورٌ مُعَيِّدٌ. | 4 When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday. |
|
| 5 لِمَاذَا أَنْتِ مُنْحَنِيَةٌ يَا نَفْسِي؟ وَلِمَاذَا تَئِنِّينَ فِيَّ؟ ارْتَجِي اللهَ، لأَنِّي بَعْدُ أَحْمَدُهُ، لأَجْلِ خَلاَصِ وَجْهِهِ. | 5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance. |
|
| 6 يَا إِلهِي، نَفْسِي مُنْحَنِيَةٌ فِيَّ، لِذلِكَ أَذْكُرُكَ مِنْ أَرْضِ الأُرْدُنِّ وَجِبَالِ حَرْمُونَ، مِنْ جَبَلِ مِصْعَرَ. | 6 O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar. |
|
7 غَمْرٌ يُنَادِي غَمْرًا عِنْدَ صَوْتِ مَيَازِيبِكَ. كُلُّ تَيَّارَاتِكَ وَلُجَجِكَ طَمَتْ عَلَيَّ.  | 7 Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me. |
|
| 8 بِالنَّهَارِ يُوصِي الرَّبُّ رَحْمَتَهُ، وَبِاللَّيْلِ تَسْبِيحُهُ عِنْدِي صَلاَةٌ لإِلهِ حَيَاتِي. | 8 Yet the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the day time, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life. |
|
| 9 أَقُولُ ِللهِ صَخْرَتِي: «لِمَاذَا نَسِيتَنِي؟ لِمَاذَا أَذْهَبُ حَزِينًا مِنْ مُضَايَقَةِ الْعَدُوِّ؟ ». | 9 I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? |
|
| 10 بِسَحْق فِي عِظَامِي عَيَّرَنِي مُضَايِقِيَّ، بِقَوْلِهِمْ لِي كُلَّ يَوْمٍ: «أَيْنَ إِلهُكَ؟ ». | 10 As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where is thy God? |
|
| 11 لِمَاذَا أَنْتِ مُنْحَنِيَةٌ يَا نَفْسِي؟ وَلِمَاذَا تَئِنِّينَ فِيَّ؟ تَرَجَّيِ اللهَ، لأَنِّي بَعْدُ أَحْمَدُهُ، خَلاَصَ وَجْهِي وَإِلهِي. | 11 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God. |
