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 اَللَّهُمَّ، إِنَّ ٱلْأُمَمَ قَدْ دَخَلُوا مِيرَاثَكَ. نَجَّسُوا هَيْكَلَ قُدْسِكَ. جَعَلُوا أُورُشَلِيمَ أَكْوَامًا.

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 دَفَعُوا جُثَثَ عَبِيدِكَ طَعَامًا لِطُيُورِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، لَحْمَ أَتْقِيَائِكَ لِوُحُوشِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

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

3 سَفَكُوا دَمَهُمْ كَٱلْمَاءِ حَوْلَ أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يَدْفِنُ.

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

4 صِرْنَا عَارًا عِنْدَ جِيرَانِنَا، هُزْءًا وَسُخْرَةً لِلَّذِينَ حَوْلَنَا.

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

5 إِلَى مَتَى يَارَبُّ تَغْضَبُ كُلَّ ٱلْغَضَبِ، وَتَتَّقِدُ كَٱلنَّارِ غَيْرَتُكَ؟

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

6 أَفِضْ رِجْزَكَ عَلَى ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَعْرِفُونَكَ، وَعَلَى ٱلْمَمَالِكِ ٱلَّتِي لَمْ تَدْعُ بِٱسْمِكَ،

7 for they have devoured Jacob and devastated his homeland.

7 لِأَنَّهُمْ قَدْ أَكَلُوا يَعْقُوبَ وَأَخْرَبُوا مَسْكَنَهُ.

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

8 لَا تَذْكُرْ عَلَيْنَا ذُنُوبَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ. لِتَتَقَدَّمْنَا مَرَاحِمُكَ سَرِيعًا، لِأَنَّنَا قَدْ تَذَلَّلْنَا جِدًّا.

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 أَعِنَّا يَا إِلَهَ خَلَاصِنَا مِنْ أَجْلِ مَجْدِ ٱسْمِكَ، وَنَجِّنَا وَٱغْفِرْ خَطَايَانَا مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱسْمِكَ.

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 يَقُولُ ٱلْأُمَمُ: «أَيْنَ هُوَ إِلَهُهُمْ؟». لِتُعْرَفْ عِنْدَ ٱلْأُمَمِ قُدَّامَ أَعْيُنِنَا نَقْمَةُ دَمِ عَبِيدِكَ ٱلْمُهْرَاقِ.

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

11 لِيَدْخُلْ قُدَّامَكَ أَنِينُ ٱلْأَسِيرِ. كَعَظَمَةِ ذِرَاعِكَ ٱسْتَبْقِ بَنِي ٱلْمَوْتِ.

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

12 وَرُدَّ عَلَى جِيرَانِنَا سَبْعَةَ أَضْعَافٍ فِي أَحْضَانِهِمِ ٱلْعَارَ ٱلَّذِي عَيَّرُوكَ بِهِ يَارَبُّ.

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

13 أَمَّا نَحْنُ شَعْبُكَ وَغَنَمُ رِعَايَتِكَ نَحْمَدُكَ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ. إِلَى دَوْرٍ فَدَوْرٍ نُحَدِّثُ بِتَسْبِيحِكَ.
