Psalms 50

1 A Psalm of Asaph. The Mighty One, God the LORD, speaks and summons the earth from where the sun rises to where it sets.

1 الرَّبُّ الإِلَهُ الْقَدِيرُ تَكَلَّمَ، وَدَعَا الأَرْضَ لِلْمُحَاكَمَةِ مِنْ مَشْرِقِ الشَّمْسِ إِلَى مَغْرِبِهَا.

2 From Zion, perfect in beauty, God shines forth.

2 مِنْ صِهْيَوْنَ الْكَامِلَةِ الْجَمَالِ أَشْرَقَ مَجْدُ اللهِ.

3 Our God approaches and will not be silent! Consuming fire precedes Him, and a tempest rages around Him.

3 يَأْتِي إِلَهُنَا وَلَا يَصْمُتُ، تُحِيطُ بِهِ النَّارُ الآكِلَةُ وَالْعَوَاصِفُ الثَّائِرَةُ.

4 He summons the heavens above, and the earth, that He may judge His people:

4 يُنَادِي السَّمَاوَاتِ مِنَ الْعُلَى، وَالأَرْضَ أَيْضاً مِنْ تَحْتُ لِكَيْ يَدِينَ شَعْبَهُ، قَائِلاً:

5 “Gather to Me My saints, who made a covenant with Me by sacrifice.”

5 «اجْمَعُوا إِلَيَّ أَتْقِيَائِي الَّذِينَ قَطَعُوا مَعِي عَهْداً عَلَى ذَبِيحَةٍ».

6 And the heavens proclaim His righteousness, for God Himself is Judge. Selah

6 فَتُذِيعُ السَّمَاوَاتُ عَدْلَهُ لأَنَّ اللهَ هُوَ الدَّيَّانُ.

7 “Hear, O My people, and I will speak, O Israel, and I will testify against you: I am God, your God.

7 اسْمَعْ يَا شَعْبِي فَأَتَكَلَّمَ. يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ إِنِّي أَشْهَدُ عَلَيْكَ: «أَنَا اللهُ إِلَهُكَ.

8 I do not rebuke you for your sacrifices, and your burnt offerings are ever before Me.

8 لَسْتُ أُوَبِّخُكَ عَلَى ذَبَائِحِكَ فَإِنَّ مُحْرَقَاتِكَ هِيَ دَائِماً قُدَّامِي.

9 I have no need for a bull from your stall or goats from your pens,

9 فَمَا كُنْتُ لِآخُذَ مِنْ بَيْتِكَ ثَوْراً وَلَا مِنْ حَظَائِرِكَ تَيْساً.

10 for every beast of the forest is Mine—the cattle on a thousand hills.

10 لأَنَّ جَمِيعَ حَيَوَانَاتِ الْغَابَةِ مِلْكِي، وَكَذَلِكَ الْبَهَائِمَ الْمُنْتَشِرَةَ عَلَى أُلُوفِ الْجِبَالِ.

11 I know every bird in the mountains, and the creatures of the field are Mine.

11 أَنَا عَالِمٌ بِجَمِيعِ طُيُورِ الْجِبَالِ، وَكُلُّ مَخْلُوقَاتِ الْبَرَارِي هِيَ لِي.

12 If I were hungry, I would not tell you, for the world is Mine, and the fullness thereof.

12 إِنْ جُعْتُ لَا أَلْتَمِسُ مِنْكَ حَاجَتِي لأَنَّ لِيَ الْمَسْكُونَةَ وَكُلَّ مَا فِيهَا.

13 Do I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?

13 هَلْ آكُلُ لَحْمَ الثِّيرَانِ، أَوْ أَشْرَبُ دَمَ التُّيُوسِ؟

14 Sacrifice a thank offering to God, and fulfill your vows to the Most High.

14 قَدِّمْ لِلهِ ذَبَائِحَ الْحَمْدِ وَأَوْفِ الْعَلِيَّ عُهُودَكَ.

15 Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor Me.”

15 ادْعُنِي فِي يَوْمِ ضِيقِكَ أُنْقِذْكَ فَتُمَجِّدَنِي».

16 To the wicked, however, God says, “What right have you to recite My statutes and to bear My covenant on your lips?

16 وَقَالَ اللهُ لِلشِّرِّيرِ: «بِأَيِّ حَقٍّ تُحَدِّثُ بِأَحْكَامِي، وَلِمَاذَا تَتَكَلَّمُ عَنْ عَهْدِي،

17 For you hate My instruction and cast My words behind you.

17 وَأَنْتَ تَمْقُتُ التَّأْدِيبَ وَلَا تَكْتَرِثُ لِكَلامِي؟

18 When you see a thief, you befriend him, and throw in your lot with adulterers.

18 تَرَى سَارِقاً فَتُوَافِقُهُ، وَمَعَ الزُّنَاةِ نَصِيبُكَ.

19 You unleash your mouth for evil and harness your tongue to deceit.

19 أَطْلَقْتَ فَمَكَ بِالشَّرِّ وَلِسَانُكَ يَخْتَرِعُ غِشّاً.

20 You sit and malign your brother; you slander your own mother’s son.

20 تَجْلِسُ تُشَهِّرُ بِأَخِيكَ، وَعَلَى ابْنِ أُمِّكَ تَفْتَرِي.

21 You have done these things, and I kept silent; you thought I was just like you. But now I rebuke you and accuse you to your face.

21 هَذِهِ كُلَّهَا فَعَلْتَ وَأَنَا سَكَتُّ، فَظَنَنْتَ أَنِّي مِثْلُكَ. غَيْرَ أَنِّي أُوَبِّخُكَ وَأَصُفُّ إِثْمَكَ أَمَامَ عَيْنَيْكَ.

22 Now consider this, you who forget God, lest I tear you to pieces, with no one to rescue you:

22 وَالآنَ تَنَبَّهُوا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُونَ اللهَ، لِئَلّا أُمَزِّقَكُمْ وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يُنْقِذُكُمْ.

23 He who sacrifices a thank offering honors Me, and to him who rightly orders his way, I will show the salvation of God.”

23 أَمَّا مَنْ يُقَدِّمُ لِي ذَبِيحَةَ حَمْدٍ فَهُوَ يُمَجِّدُنِي، وَمَنْ يُقَوِّمُ طَرِيقَهُ أُرِيهِ خَلاصَ اللهِ».
