| 1 لَيْتَكَ تَشُقُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَتَنْزِلُ! مِنْ حَضْرَتِكَ تَتَزَلْزَلُ الْجِبَالُ. | 1 Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, that the mountains might flow down at thy presence, |
|
| 2 كَمَا تُشْعِلُ النَّارُ الْهَشِيمَ، وَتَجْعَلُ النَّارُ الْمِيَاهَ تَغْلِي، لِتُعَرِّفَ أَعْدَاءَكَ اسْمَكَ، لِتَرْتَعِدَ الأُمَمُ مِنْ حَضْرَتِكَ. | 2 As when the melting fire burneth, the fire causeth the waters to boil, to make thy name known to thine adversaries, that the nations may tremble at thy presence! |
|
| 3 حِينَ صَنَعْتَ مَخَاوِفَ لَمْ نَنْتَظِرْهَا، نَزَلْتَ، تَزَلْزَلَتِ الْجِبَالُ مِنْ حَضْرَتِكَ. | 3 When thou didst terrible things which we looked not for, thou camest down, the mountains flowed down at thy presence. |
|
| 4 وَمُنْذُ الأَزَلِ لَمْ يَسْمَعُوا وَلَمْ يَصْغَوْا. لَمْ تَرَ عَيْنٌ إِلهًا غَيْرَكَ يَصْنَعُ لِمَنْ يَنْتَظِرُهُ. | 4 For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him. |
|
| 5 تُلاَقِي الْفَرِحَ الصَّانِعَ الْبِرَّ. الَّذِينَ يَذْكُرُونَكَ فِي طُرُقِكَ. هَا أَنْتَ سَخِطْتَ إِذْ أَخْطَأْنَا. هِيَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ فَنَخْلُصُ. | 5 Thou meetest him that rejoiceth and worketh righteousness, those that remember thee in thy ways: behold, thou art wroth; for we have sinned: in those is continuance, and we shall be saved. |
|
6 وَقَدْ صِرْنَا كُلُّنَا كَنَجِسٍ، وَكَثَوْبِ عِدَّةٍ كُلُّ أَعْمَالِ بِرِّنَا، وَقَدْ ذَبُلْنَا كَوَرَقَةٍ، وَآثَامُنَا كَرِيحٍ تَحْمِلُنَا.  | 6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. |
|
| 7 وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يَدْعُو بِاسْمِكَ أَوْ يَنْتَبِهُ لِيَتَمَسَّكَ بِكَ، لأَنَّكَ حَجَبْتَ وَجْهَكَ عَنَّا، وَأَذَبْتَنَا بِسَبَبِ آثَامِنَا. | 7 And there is none that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee: for thou hast hid thy face from us, and hast consumed us, because of our iniquities. |
|
| 8 وَالآنَ يَا رَبُّ أَنْتَ أَبُونَا. نَحْنُ الطِّينُ وَأَنْتَ جَابِلُنَا، وَكُلُّنَا عَمَلُ يَدَيْكَ. | 8 But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand. |
|
| 9 لاَ تَسْخَطْ كُلَّ السَّخْطِ يَا رَبُّ، وَلاَ تَذْكُرِ الإِثْمَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. هَا انْظُرْ. شَعْبُكَ كُلُّنَا. | 9 Be not wroth very sore, O LORD, neither remember iniquity for ever: behold, see, we beseech thee, we are all thy people. |
|
| 10 مُدُنُ قُدْسِكَ صَارَتْ بَرِّيَّةً. صِهْيَوْنُ صَارَتْ بَرِّيَّةً، وَأُورُشَلِيمُ مُوحَشَةً. | 10 Thy holy cities are a wilderness, Zion is a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation. |
|
| 11 بَيْتُ قُدْسِنَا وَجَمَالِنَا حَيْثُ سَبَّحَكَ آبَاؤُنَا، قَدْ صَارَ حَرِيقَ نَارٍ، وَكُلُّ مُشْتَهَيَاتِنَا صَارَتْ خَرَابًا. | 11 Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised thee, is burned up with fire: and all our pleasant things are laid waste. |
|
| 12 أَلأَجْلِ هذِهِ تَتَجَلَّدُ يَا رَبُّ؟ أَتَسْكُتُ وَتُذِلُّنَا كُلَّ الذِّلِّ؟ | 12 Wilt thou refrain thyself for these things, O LORD? wilt thou hold thy peace, and afflict us very sore? |
