1 باد الصدّيق وليس احد يضع ذلك في قلبه ورجال الاحسان يضمون وليس من يفطن بانه من وجه الشر يضم الصدّيق. | 1 The just perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart, and men of mercy are taken away, because there is none that understandeth; for the just man is taken away from before the face of evil. |
2 يدخل السلام. يستريحون في مضاجعهم. السالك بالاستقامة | 2 Let peace come, let him rest in his bed that hath walked in his uprightness. |
3 اما انتم فتقدموا الى هنا يا بني الساحرة نسل الفاسق والزانية | 3 But draw near hither, you sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer, and of the harlot. |
4 بمن تسخرون وعلى من تفغرون الفم وتدلعون اللسان. أما انتم اولاد المعصية نسل الكذب. | 4 Upon whom have you jested? upon whom have you opened your mouth wide, and put out your tongue? are not you wicked children, a false seed, |
5 المتوقدون الى الاصنام تحت كل شجرة خضراء القاتلون الاولاد في الاودية تحت شقوق المعاقل. | 5 Who seek your comfort in idols under every green tree, sacrificing children in the torrents, under the high rocks? |
6 في حجارة الوادي الملس نصيبك. تلك هي قرعتك. لتلك سكبت سكيبا واصعدت تقدمة. أعن هذه اتعزى. | 6 In the parts of the torrent is thy portion, this is thy lot: and thou hast poured out libations to them, thou hast offered sacrifice. Shall I not be angry at these things? |
7 على جبل عال ومرتفع وضعت مضجعك والى هناك صعدت لتذبحي ذبيحة. | 7 Upon a high and lofty mountain thou hast laid thy bed, and hast gone up thither to offer victims. |
8 وراء الباب والقائمة وضعت تذكارك لانك لغيري كشفت وصعدت. اوسعت مضجعك وقطعت لنفسك عهدا معهم. احييت مضجعهم. نظرت فرصة. | 8 And behind the door, and behind the post thou best set up thy remembrance: for thou hast discovered thyself near me, and hast received an adulterer: thou hast enlarged thy bed, and made a covenant with them: thou hast loved their bed with open hand. |
9 وسرت الى الملك بالدهن واكثرت اطيابك وارسلت رسلك الى بعد ونزلت حتى الى الهاوية. | 9 And thou hast adorned thyself for the king with ointment, and hast multiplied thy perfumes. Thou hast sent thy messengers far off, and wast debased even to hell. |
10 بطول اسفارك اعييت ولم تقولي يئست. شهوتك وجدت لذلك لم تضعفي. | 10 Thou hast been wearied in the multitude of thy ways: yet thou saidst not: I will rest: thou hast found life of thy hand, therefore thou hast not asked. |
11 وممن خشيت وخفت حتى خنت واياي لم تذكري ولا وضعت في قلبك. أما انا ساكت وذلك منذ القديم فاياي لم تخافي. | 11 For whom hast thou been solicitous and afraid, that thou hast lied, and hast not been mindful of me, nor thought on me in thy heart? for I am silent, and as one that seeth not, and thou hast forgotten me. |
12 انا اخبر ببرك وباعمالك فلا تفيدك | 12 I will declare thy justice, and thy works shall not profit thee. |
13 اذ تصرخين فلينقذك جموعك. ولكن الريح تحملهم كلهم. تأخذهم نفخة. اما المتوكل علي فيملك الارض ويرث جبل قدسي | 13 When thou shalt cry, let thy companies deliver thee, but the wind shall carry them all off, a breeze shall take them away, but he that putteth his trust in me, shall inherit the land, and shall possess my holy mount. |
14 ويقول اعدوا اعدوا هيئوا الطريق. ارفعوا المعثرة من طريق شعبي | 14 And I will say: Make a way: give free passage, turn out of the path, take away the stumblingblocks out of the way of my people. |
15 لانه هكذا قال العلي المرتفع ساكن الابد القدوس اسمه. في الموضع المرتفع المقدس اسكن ومع المنسحق والمتواضع الروح لأحيي روح المتواضعين ولأحيي قلب المنسحقين. | 15 For thus saith the High and the Eminent that inhabiteth eternity: and his name is Holy, who dwelleth in the high and holy place, and with a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite. |
16 لاني لا اخاصم الى الابد ولا اغضب الى الدهر. لان الروح يغشى عليها امامي والنسمات التي صنعتها. | 16 For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be angry unto the end: because the spirit shall go forth from my face, end breathings I will make. |
17 من اجل اثم مكسبه غضبت وضربته. استترت وغضبت فذهب عاصيا في طريق قلبه. | 17 For the iniquity of his covetousness I was angry, and I struck him: I hid my face from thee, and was angry: and he went away wandering in his own heart. |
18 رأيت طرقه وسأشفيه واقوده وارد تعزيات له ولنائحيه | 18 I saw his ways, and I healed him, and brought him back, and restored comforts to him, and to them that mourn for him. |
19 خالقا ثمر الشفتين. سلام سلام للبعيد وللقريب قال الرب وساشفيه | 19 I created the fruit of the lips, peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near, said the Lord, and I healed him. |
20 اما الاشرار فكالبحر المضطرب لانه لا يستطيع ان يهدأ وتقذف مياهه حمأة وطينا. | 20 But the wicked are like the raging sea, which cannot rest, and the waves thereof cast up dirt and mire. |
21 ليس سلام قال الهي للاشرار | 21 There is no peace to the wicked, saith the Lord God. |
