¹روحي تلفت. ايامي انطفأت. انما القبور لي

¹My spirit is consumed, my days are extinct, The grave is [ready] for me.

²لولا المخاتلون عندي وعيني تبيت على مشاجراتهم.

²Surely there are mockers with me, And mine eye dwelleth upon their provocation.

³كن ضامني عند نفسك. من هو الذي يصفق يدي.

³Give now a pledge, be surety for me with thyself; Who is there that will strike hands with me?

⁴لانك منعت قلبهم عن الفطنة. لاجل ذلك لا ترفعهم.

⁴For thou hast hid their heart from understanding: Therefore shalt thou not exalt [them].

⁵الذي يسلم الاصحاب للسلب تتلف عيون بنيه.

⁵He that denounceth his friends for a prey, Even the eyes of his children shall fail.

⁶اوقفني مثلا للشعوب وصرت للبصق في الوجه.

⁶But he hath made me a byword of the people; And they spit in my face.

⁷كلت عيني من الحزن واعضائي كلها كالظل.

⁷Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, And all my members are as a shadow.

⁸يتعجب المستقيمون من هذا والبريء ينتهض على الفاجر.

⁸Upright men shall be astonished at this, And the innocent shall stir up himself against the godless.

⁹اما الصدّيق فيستمسك بطريقه والطاهر اليدين يزداد قوة

⁹Yet shall the righteous hold on his way, And he that hath clean hands shall wax stronger and stronger.

¹⁰ولكن ارجعوا كلكم وتعالوا فلا اجد فيكم حكيما.

¹⁰But as for you all, come on now again; And I shall not find a wise man among you.

¹¹ايامي قد عبرت. مقاصدي إرث قلبي قد انتزعت.

¹¹My days are past, my purposes are broken off, Even the thoughts of my heart.

¹²يجعلون الليل نهارا نورا قريبا للظلمة.

¹²They change the night into day: The light, [say they], is near unto the darkness.

¹³اذا رجوت الهاوية بيتا لي وفي الظلام مهدت فراشي

¹³If I look for Sheol as my house; If I have spread my couch in the darkness;

¹⁴وقلت للقبر انت ابي وللدود انت امي واختي

¹⁴If I have said to corruption, Thou art my father; To the worm, [Thou art] my mother, and my sister;

¹⁵فاين اذا آمالي. آمالي. من يعاينها.

¹⁵Where then is my hope? And as for my hope, who shall see it?

¹⁶تهبط الى مغاليق الهاوية اذ ترتاح معا في التراب

¹⁶It shall go down to the bars of Sheol, When once there is rest in the dust.
