| 1 اَللَّهُمَّ، بِآذَانِنَا قَدْ سَمِعْنَا. آبَاؤُنَا أَخْبَرُونَا بِعَمَل عَمِلْتَهُ فِي أَيَّامِهِمْ، فِي أَيَّامِ الْقِدَمِ. | 1 We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old. |
|
| 2 أَنْتَ بِيَدِكَ اسْتَأْصَلْتَ الأُمَمَ وَغَرَسْتَهُمْ. حَطَّمْتَ شُعُوبًا وَمَدَدْتَهُمْ. | 2 How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and plantedst them; how thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out. |
|
| 3 لأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ بِسَيْفِهِمُِ امْتَلَكُوا الأَرْضَ، وَلاَ ذِرَاعُهُمْ خَلَّصَتْهُمْ، لكِنْ يَمِينُكَ وَذِرَاعُكَ وَنُورُ وَجْهِكَ، لأَنَّكَ رَضِيتَ عَنْهُمْ. | 3 For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them. |
|
| 4 أَنْتَ هُوَ مَلِكِي يَا اَللهُ، فَأْمُرْ بِخَلاَصِ يَعْقُوبَ. | 4 Thou art my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob. |
|
| 5 بِكَ نَنْطَحُ مُضَايِقِينَا. بِاسْمِكَ نَدُوسُ الْقَائِمِينَ عَلَيْنَا. | 5 Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us. |
|
| 6 لأَنِّي عَلَى قَوْسِي لاَ أَتَّكِلُ، وَسَيْفِي لاَ يُخَلِّصُنِي. | 6 For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me. |
|
| 7 لأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ خَلَّصْتَنَا مِنْ مُضَايِقِينَا، وَأَخْزَيْتَ مُبْغِضِينَا. | 7 But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them to shame that hated us. |
|
| 8 بِاللهِ نَفْتَخِرُ الْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ، وَاسْمَكَ نَحْمَدُ إِلَى الدَّهْرِ. سِلاَهْ. | 8 In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever. Selah. |
|
| 9 لكِنَّكَ قَدْ رَفَضْتَنَا وَأَخْجَلْتَنَا، وَلاَ تَخْرُجُ مَعَ جُنُودِنَا. | 9 But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; and goest not forth with our armies. |
|
| 10 تُرْجعُنَا إِلَى الْوَرَاءِ عَنِ الْعَدُوِّ، وَمُبْغِضُونَا نَهَبُوا لأَنْفُسِهِمْ. | 10 Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy: and they which hate us spoil for themselves. |
|
| 11 جَعَلْتَنَا كَالضَّأْنِ أُكْلاً. ذَرَّيْتَنَا بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ. | 11 Thou hast given us like sheep appointed for meat; and hast scattered us among the heathen. |
|
| 12 بِعْتَ شَعْبَكَ بِغَيْرِ مَال، وَمَا رَبِحْتَ بِثَمَنِهِمْ. | 12 Thou sellest thy people for nought, and dost not increase thy wealth by their price. |
|
| 13 تَجْعَلُنَا عَارًا عِنْدَ جِيرَانِنَا، هُزْأَةً وَسُخْرَةً لِلَّذِينَ حَوْلَنَا. | 13 Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us. |
|
14 تَجْعَلُنَا مَثَلاً بَيْنَ الشُّعُوبِ. لإِنْغَاضِ الرَّأْسِ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ.  | 14 Thou makest us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of the head among the people. |
|
| 15 الْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ خَجَلِي أَمَامِي، وَخِزْيُ وَجْهِي قَدْ غَطَّانِي. | 15 My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me, |
|
| 16 مِنْ صَوْتِ الْمُعَيِّرِ وَالشَّاتِمِ. مِنْ وَجْهِ عَدُوٍّ وَمُنْتَقِمٍ. | 16 For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and avenger. |
|
| 17 هذَا كُلُّهُ جَاءَ عَلَيْنَا، وَمَا نَسِينَاكَ وَلاَ خُنَّا فِي عَهْدِكَ. | 17 All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant. |
|
| 18 لَمْ يَرْتَدَّ قَلْبُنَا إِلَى وَرَاءٍ، وَلاَ مَالَتْ خَطْوَتُنَا عَنْ طَرِيقِكَ، | 18 Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from thy way; |
|
| 19 حَتَّى سَحَقْتَنَا فِي مَكَانِ التَّنَانِينِ، وَغَطَّيْتَنَا بِظِلِّ الْمَوْتِ. | 19 Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death. |
|
| 20 إِنْ نَسِينَا اسْمَ إِلهِنَا أَوْ بَسَطْنَا أَيْدِيَنَا إِلَى إِلهٍ غَرِيبٍ، | 20 If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god; |
|
| 21 أَفَلاَ يَفْحَصُ اللهُ عَنْ هذَا؟ لأَنَّهُ هُوَ يَعْرِفُ خَفِيَّاتِ الْقَلْبِ. | 21 Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart. |
|
| 22 لأَنَّنَا مِنْ أَجْلِكَ نُمَاتُ الْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ. قَدْ حُسِبْنَا مِثْلَ غَنَمٍ لِلذَّبْحِ. | 22 Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter. |
|
| 23 اِسْتَيْقِظْ! لِمَاذَا تَتَغَافَى يَا رَبُّ؟ انْتَبِهْ! لاَ تَرْفُضْ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. | 23 Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, cast us not off for ever. |
|
| 24 لِمَاذَا تَحْجُبُ وَجْهَكَ وَتَنْسَى مَذَلَّتَنَا وَضِيقَنَا؟ | 24 Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and forgettest our affliction and our oppression? |
|
| 25 لأَنَّ أَنْفُسَنَا مُنْحَنِيَةٌ إِلَى التُّرَابِ. لَصِقَتْ فِي الأَرْضِ بُطُونُنَا. | 25 For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly cleaveth unto the earth. |
|
| 26 قُمْ عَوْنًا لَنَا وَافْدِنَا مِنْ أَجْلِ رَحْمَتِكَ. | 26 Arise for our help, and redeem us for thy mercies' sake. |
