¹ويل لي لاني صرت كجنى الصيف كخصاصة القطاف لا عنقود للأكل ولا باكورة تينة اشتهتها نفسي.

¹Misery is mine! Indeed, I am like one who gathers the summer fruits, as gleanings of the vineyard: There is no cluster of grapes to eat. My soul desires to eat the early fig.

²قد باد التقي من الارض وليس مستقيم بين الناس. جميعهم يكمنون للدماء يصطادون بعضهم بعضا بشبكة.

²The godly man has perished out of the earth, and there is no one upright among men. They all lie in wait for blood; every man hunts his brother with a net.

³اليدان الى الشر مجتهدتان. الرئيس طالب والقاضي بالهدية والكبير متكلم بهوى نفسه فيعكّشونها.

³Their hands are on that which is evil to do it diligently. The ruler and judge ask for a bribe; and the powerful man dictates the evil desire of his soul. Thus they conspire together.

⁴احسنهم مثل العوسج واعدلهم من سياج الشوك. يوم مراقبيك عقابك قد جاء. الآن يكون ارتباكهم

⁴The best of them is like a brier. The most upright is worse than a thorn hedge. The day of your watchmen, even your visitation, has come; now is the time of their confusion.

⁵لا تأتمنوا صاحبا لا تثقوا بصديق. احفظ ابواب فمك عن المضطجعة في حضنك.

⁵Don’t trust in a neighbor. Don’t put confidence in a friend. With the woman lying in your embrace, be careful of the words of your mouth!

⁶لان الابن مستهين بالأب والبنت قائمة على امها والكنة على حماتها واعداء الانسان اهل بيته

⁶For the son dishonors the father, the daughter rises up against her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; a man’s enemies are the men of his own house.

⁷ولكنني اراقب الرب اصبر لاله خلاصي. يسمعني الهي.

⁷But as for me, I will look to Yahweh. I will wait for the God of my salvation. My God will hear me.

⁸لا تشمتي بي يا عدوّتي. اذا سقطت اقوم. اذا جلست في الظلمة فالرب نور لي.

⁸Don’t rejoice against me, my enemy. When I fall, I will arise. When I sit in darkness, Yahweh will be a light to me.

⁹احتمل غضب الرب لاني اخطأت اليه حتى يقيم دعواي ويجري حقي. سيخرجني الى النور سانظر برّه.

⁹I will bear the indignation of Yahweh, because I have sinned against him, until he pleads my case, and executes judgment for me. He will bring me forth to the light. I will see his righteousness.

¹⁰وترى عدوتي فيغطيها الخزي القائلة لي اين هو الرب الهك. عيناي ستنظران اليها. الآن تصير للدوس كطين الأزقة

¹⁰Then my enemy will see it, and shame will cover her who said to me, where is Yahweh your God? Then my enemy will see me and will cover her shame. Now she will be trodden down like the mire of the streets.

¹¹يوم بناء حيطانك ذلك اليوم يبعد الميعاد.

¹¹A day to build your walls— In that day, he will extend your boundary.

¹²هو يوم يأتون اليك من اشور ومدن مصر ومن مصر الى النهر. ومن البحر الى البحر. ومن الجبل الى الجبل.

¹²In that day they will come to you from Assyria and the cities of Egypt, and from Egypt even to the River, and from sea to sea, and mountain to mountain.

¹³ولكن تصير الارض خربة بسبب سكانها من اجل ثمر افعالهم

¹³Yet the land will be desolate because of those who dwell therein, for the fruit of their doings.

¹⁴ارع بعصاك شعبك غنم ميراثك ساكنة وحدها في وعر في وسط الكرمل. لترع في باشان وجلعاد كايام القدم.

¹⁴Shepherd your people with your staff, the flock of your heritage, who dwell by themselves in a forest, in the midst of fertile pasture land, let them feed; in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.

¹⁵كايام خروجك من ارض مصر أريه عجائب.

¹⁵“As in the days of your coming forth out of the land of Egypt, I will show them marvelous things.”

¹⁶ينظر الامم ويخجلون من كل بطشهم. يضعون ايديهم على افواههم وتصمّ آذانهم.

¹⁶The nations will see and be ashamed of all their might. They will lay their hand on their mouth. Their ears will be deaf.

¹⁷يلحسون التراب كالحية. كزواحف الارض يخرجون بالرعدة من حصونهم يأتون بالرعب الى الرب الهنا ويخافون منك

¹⁷They will lick the dust like a serpent. Like crawling things of the earth they shall come trembling out of their dens. They will come with fear to Yahweh our God, and will be afraid because of you.

¹⁸من هو اله مثلك غافر الاثم وصافح عن الذنب لبقية ميراثه. لا يحفظ الى الابد غضبه فانه يسرّ بالرأفة.

¹⁸Who is a God like you, who pardons iniquity, and passes over the disobedience of the remnant of his heritage? He doesn’t retain his anger forever, because he delights in loving kindness.

¹⁹يعود يرحمنا يدوس آثامنا وتطرح في اعماق البحر جميع خطاياهم.

¹⁹He will again have compassion on us. He will tread our iniquities under foot; and you will cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.

²⁰تصنع الامانة ليعقوب والرأفة لابراهيم اللتين حلفت لآبائنا منذ ايام القدم

²⁰You will give truth to Jacob, and mercy to Abraham, as you have sworn to our fathers from the days of old.
