Psalms 102

يَا رَبُّ، اسْتَمِعْ صَلاَتِي، وَلْيَدْخُلْ إِلَيْكَ صُرَاخِي.
Hear my prayer, O LORD, and let my cry come unto thee.
لاَ تَحْجُبْ وَجْهَكَ عَنِّي فِي يَوْمِ ضِيقِي. أَمِلْ إِلَيَّ أُذُنَكَ فِي يَوْمِ أَدْعُوكَ. اسْتَجِبْ لِي سَرِيعًا.
Hide not thy face from me in the day when I am in trouble; incline thine ear unto me: in the day when I call answer me speedily.
لأَنَّ أَيَّامِي قَدْ فَنِيَتْ فِي دُخَانٍ، وَعِظَامِي مِثْلُ وَقِيدٍ قَدْ يَبِسَتْ.
For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as an hearth.
مَلْفُوحٌ كَالْعُشْبِ وَيَابِسٌ قَلْبِي، حَتَّى سَهَوْتُ عَنْ أَكْلِ خُبْزِي.
My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread.
مِنْ صَوْتِ تَنَهُّدِي لَصِقَ عَظْمِي بِلَحْمِي.
By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin.
أَشْبَهْتُ قُوقَ الْبَرِّيَّةِ. صِرْتُ مِثْلَ بُومَةِ الْخِرَبِ.
I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert.
سَهِدْتُ وَصِرْتُ كَعُصْفُورٍ مُنْفَرِدٍ عَلَى السَّطْحِ.
I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.
الْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ عَيَّرَنِي أَعْدَائِيَ. الْحَنِقُونَ عَلَيَّ حَلَفُوا عَلَيَّ.
Mine enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad against me are sworn against me.
إِنِّي قَدْ أَكَلْتُ الرَّمَادَ مِثْلَ الْخُبْزِ، وَمَزَجْتُ شَرَابِي بِدُمُوعٍ،
For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping,
بِسَبَبِ غَضَبِكَ وَسَخَطِكَ، لأَنَّكَ حَمَلْتَنِي وَطَرَحْتَنِي.
Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down.
أَيَّامِي كَظِلّ مَائِل، وَأَنَا مِثْلُ الْعُشْبِ يَبِسْتُ.
My days are like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass.
أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا رَبُّ فَإِلَى الدَّهْرِ جَالِسٌ، وَذِكْرُكَ إِلَى دَوْرٍ فَدَوْرٍ.
But thou, O LORD, shalt endure for ever; and thy remembrance unto all generations.
أَنْتَ تَقُومُ وَتَرْحَمُ صِهْيَوْنَ، لأَنَّهُ وَقْتُ الرَّأْفَةِ، لأَنَّهُ جَاءَ الْمِيعَادُ.
Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come.
لأَنَّ عَبِيدَكَ قَدْ سُرُّوا بِحِجَارَتِهَا، وَحَنُّوا إِلَى تُرَابِهَا.
For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour the dust thereof.
فَتَخْشَى الأُمَمُ اسْمَ الرَّبِّ، وَكُلُّ مُلُوكِ الأَرْضِ مَجْدَكَ.
So the heathen shall fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth thy glory.
إِذَا بَنَى الرَّبُّ صِهْيَوْنَ يُرَى بِمَجْدِهِ.
When the LORD shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory.
الْتَفَتَ إِلَى صَلاَةِ الْمُضْطَرِّ، وَلَمْ يَرْذُلْ دُعَاءَهُمْ.
He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer.
يُكْتَبُ هذَا لِلدَّوْرِ الآخِرِ، وشَعْبٌ سَوْفَ يُخْلَقُ يُسَبِّحُ الرَّبَّ:
This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the LORD.
لأَنَّهُ أَشْرَفَ مِنْ عُلْوِ قُدْسِهِ. الرَّبُّ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ إِلَى الأَرْضِ نَظَرَ،
For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the LORD behold the earth;
لِيَسْمَعَ أَنِينَ الأَسِيرِ، لِيُطْلِقَ بَنِي الْمَوْتِ،
To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death;
لِكَيْ يُحَدَّثَ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ، وَبِتَسْبِيحِهِ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ،
To declare the name of the LORD in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem;
عِنْدَ اجْتِمَاعِ الشُّعُوبِ مَعًا وَالْمَمَالِكِ لِعِبَادَةِ الرَّبِّ.
When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the LORD.
ضَعَّفَ فِي الطَّرِيقِ قُوَّتِي، قَصَّرَ أَيَّامِي.
He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my days.
أَقُولُ: «يَا إِلهِي، لاَ تَقْبِضْنِي فِي نِصْفِ أَيَّامِي. إِلَى دَهْرِ الدُّهُورِ سِنُوكَ.
I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: thy years are throughout all generations.
مِنْ قِدَمٍ أَسَّسْتَ الأَرْضَ، وَالسَّمَاوَاتُ هِيَ عَمَلُ يَدَيْكَ.
Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands.
هِيَ تَبِيدُ وَأَنْتَ تَبْقَى، وَكُلُّهَا كَثَوْبٍ تَبْلَى، كَرِدَاءٍ تُغَيِّرُهُنَّ فَتَتَغَيَّرُ.
They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed:
وَأَنْتَ هُوَ وَسِنُوكَ لَنْ تَنْتَهِيَ.
But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end.
أَبْنَاءُ عَبِيدِكَ يَسْكُنُونَ، وَذُرِّيَّتُهُمْ تُثَبَّتُ أَمَامَكَ».
The children of thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established before thee.
