Psalms 73

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 A psalm of Asaph. How good God is to the upright, the Lord, to those who are clean of heart!	1 مزمور لآساف‎. ‎انما صالح الله لاسرائيل لانقياء القلب‎.
2 I But, as for me, I lost my balance; my feet all but slipped,	2 ‎اما انا فكادت تزل قدماي. لولا قليل لزلقت خطواتي‎.
3 Because I was envious of the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.	3 ‎لاني غرت من المتكبرين اذ رايت سلامة الاشرار‎.
4 For they suffer no pain; their bodies are healthy and sleek.	4 ‎لانه ليست في موتهم شدائد وجسمهم سمين‎.
5 They are free of the burdens of life; they are not afflicted like others.	5 ‎ليسوا في تعب الناس ومع البشر لا يصابون‎.
6 Thus pride adorns them as a necklace; violence clothes them as a robe.	6 ‎لذلك تقلدوا الكبرياء. لبسوا كثوب ظلمهم‎.
7 Out of their stupidity comes sin; evil thoughts flood their hearts.	7 ‎جحظت عيونهم من الشحم. جاوزوا تصورات القلب‎.
8 They scoff and spout their malice; from on high they utter threats.	8 ‎يستهزئون ويتكلمون بالشر ظلما من العلاء يتكلمون‎.
9 They set their mouths against the heavens, their tongues roam the earth.	9 ‎جعلوا افواههم في السماء وألسنتهم تتمشى في الارض‎.
10 So my people turn to them and drink deeply of their words.	10 ‎لذلك يرجع شعبه الى هنا وكمياه مروية يمتصون منهم‎.
11 They say, "Does God really know?" "Does the Most High have any knowledge?"	11 ‎وقالوا كيف يعلم الله وهل عند العلي معرفة‎.
12 Such, then, are the wicked, always carefree, increasing their wealth.	12 ‎هوذا هؤلاء هم الاشرار ومستريحين الى الدهر يكثرون ثروة
13 Is it in vain that I have kept my heart clean, washed my hands in innocence?	13 حقا قد زكّيت قلبي باطلا وغسلت بالنقاوة يدي‎.
14 For I am afflicted day after day, chastised every morning.	14 ‎وكنت مصابا اليوم كله وتأدبت كل صباح‎.
15 Had I thought, "I will speak as they do," I would have betrayed your people.	15 ‎لو قلت احدّث هكذا لغدرت بجيل بنيك‎.
16 Though I tried to understand all this, it was too difficult for me,	16 ‎فلما قصدت معرفة هذا اذ هو تعب في عينيّ‎.
17 Till I entered the sanctuary of God and came to understand their end.	17 ‎حتى دخلت مقادس الله وانتبهت الى آخرتهم‎.
18 You set them, indeed, on a slippery road; you hurl them down to ruin.	18 ‎حقا في مزالق جعلتهم. اسقطتهم الى البوار‎.
19 How suddenly they are devastated; undone by disasters forever!	19 ‎كيف صاروا للخراب بغتة. اضمحلوا فنوا من الدواهي‏‎.
20 They are like a dream after waking, Lord, dismissed like shadows when you arise.	20 ‎كحلم عند التيّقظ يا رب عند التيقظ تحتقر خيالهم
21 Since my heart was embittered and my soul deeply wounded,	21 لانه تمرمر قلبي وانتخست في كليتيّ‎.
22 I was stupid and could not understand; I was like a brute beast in your presence.	22 ‎وانا بليد ولا اعرف. صرت كبهيم عندك‎.
23 Yet I am always with you; you take hold of my right hand.	23 ‎ولكني دائما معك. امسكت بيدي اليمنى‎.
24 With your counsel you guide me, and at the end receive me with honor.	24 ‎برأيك تهديني وبعد الى مجد تأخذني‎.
25 Whom else have I in the heavens? None beside you delights me on earth.	25 ‎من لي في السماء. ومعك لا اريد شيئا في الارض‎.
26 Though my flesh and my heart fail, God is the rock of my heart, my portion forever.	26 ‎قد فني لحمي وقلبي. صخرة قلبي ونصيبي الله الى الدهر‎.
27 But those who are far from you perish; you destroy those unfaithful to you.	27 ‎لانه هوذا البعداء عنك يبيدون. تهلك كل من يزني عنك‎.
28 As for me, to be near God is my good, to make the Lord GOD my refuge. I shall declare all your works in the gates of daughter Zion.	28 ‎اما انا فالاقتراب الى الله حسن لي. جعلت بالسيد الرب ملجإي لاخبر بكل صنائعك
