Psalms 79

1 A Psalm of Asaph. The nations, O God, have invaded Your inheritance; they have defiled Your holy temple and reduced Jerusalem to rubble.

1 يَا اللهُ، إِنَّ الأُمَمَ قَدْ دَخَلَتْ مِيرَاثَكَ وَنَجَّسَتْ هَيْكَلَكَ الْمُقَدَّسَ وَجَعَلَتْ أُورُشَلِيمَ أَكْوَاماً.

2 They have given the corpses of Your servants as food to the birds of the air, the flesh of Your saints to the beasts of the earth.

2 جَعَلُوا جُثَثَ عَبِيدِكَ مَأْكَلاً لِطُيُورِ السَّمَاءِ، وَلُحُومَ قِدِّيسِيكَ لِوُحُوشِ الأَرْضِ.

3 They have poured out their blood like water all around Jerusalem, and there is no one to bury the dead.

3 سَفَكُوا دِمَاءَهُمْ كَالْمَاءِ حَوْلَ أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَلَيْسَ هُنَاكَ مَنْ يَدْفِنُهُمْ.

4 We have become a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and derision to those around us.

4 قَدْ صِرْنَا عَاراً عِنْدَ جِيرَانِنَا، وَمَثَارَ هُزْءٍ وَأُضْحُوكَةً لِمَنْ حَوْلَنَا.

5 How long, O LORD? Will You be angry forever? Will Your jealousy burn like fire?

5 إِلَى مَتَى يَدُومُ هَذَا يَا رَبُّ؟ أَتَبْقَى غَاضِباً تَتَّقِدُ غَيْرَتُكَ كَالنَّارِ إِلَى الأَبَدِ؟

6 Pour out Your wrath on the nations that do not acknowledge You, on the kingdoms that refuse to call on Your name,

6 صُبَّ غَضَبَكَ عَلَى الأُمَمِ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوكَ، وَعَلَى الْمَمَالِكِ الَّتِي لَمْ تَدْعُ بِاسْمِكَ،

7 for they have devoured Jacob and devastated his homeland.

7 فَإِنَّهُمْ قَدِ افْتَرَسُوا يَعْقُوبَ وَقَوَّضُوا مَسْكَنَهُ.

8 Do not hold past sins against us; let Your compassion come quickly, for we are brought low.

8 لَا تَذْكُرْ عَلَيْنَا آثَامَ أَجْدَادِنَا، بَلْ دَعْ مَرَاحِمَكَ تُوَافِينَا سَرِيعاً، لأَنَّنَا قَدْ تَذَلَّلْنَا جِدّاً.

9 Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of Your name; deliver us and atone for our sins, for the sake of Your name.

9 أَغِثْنَا أَيُّهَا الإِلَهُ مُخَلِّصُنَا مِنْ أَجْلِ مَجْدِكَ. أَنْقِذْنَا وَاغْفِرْ لَنَا خَطَايَانَا مِنْ أَجْلِ اسْمِكَ.

10 Why should the nations ask, “Where is their God?” Before our eyes, make known among the nations Your vengeance for the bloodshed of Your servants.

10 لِمَاذَا تَسْأَلُنَا الأُمَمُ: أَيْنَ إِلَهُكُمْ؟ دَعْنَا نَرَى كَيْفَ يَذِيعُ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ خَبَرُ انْتِقَامِكَ لِدِمَاءِ عَبِيدِكَ الْمَسْفُوكَةِ.

11 May the groans of the captives reach You; by the strength of Your arm preserve those condemned to death.

11 لِيَتَصَاعَدْ أَمَامَكَ أَنِينُ الْمَأْسُورِ. حَافِظْ بِعَظَمَةِ قُوَّتِكَ عَلَى الْمَحْكُومِ عَلَيْهِمْ بِالْمَوْتِ.

12 Pay back into the laps of our neighbors sevenfold the reproach they hurled at You, O Lord.

12 رُدَّ يَا رَبُّ عَلَى الأُمَمِ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ مَا عَيَّرُوكَ وَأَهَانُوكَ بِهِ،

13 Then we Your people, the sheep of Your pasture, will thank You forever; from generation to generation we will declare Your praise.

13 فَنَحْمَدَكَ نَحْنُ شَعْبَكَ وَغَنَمَ مَرْعَاكَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ وَنُذِيعَ تَسْبِيحَكَ مِنْ جِيلٍ إِلَى جِيلٍ.
