PSALMS 12

المزمور الثانى عشر

1  To the Chief Musician. On an eight-stringed harp. A Psalm of David. Help, Lord, for the godly man ceases! For the faithful disappear from among the sons of men.

1  لإِمَامِ الْمُغَنِّينَ عَلَى [الْقَرَارِ]. مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ خَلِّصْ يَا رَبُّ لأَنَّهُ قَدِ انْقَرَضَ التَّقِيُّ لأَنَّهُ قَدِ انْقَطَعَ الأُمَنَاءُ مِنْ بَنِي الْبَشَرِ.

2  They speak idly everyone with his neighbor; With flattering lips and a double heart they speak.

2  يَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِالْكَذِبِ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مَعَ صَاحِبِهِ بِشِفَاهٍ مَلِقَةٍ بِقَلْبٍ فَقَلْبٍ يَتَكَلَّمُونَ.

3  May the Lord cut off all flattering lips, And the tongue that speaks proud things,

3  يَقْطَعُ الرَّبُّ جَمِيعَ الشِّفَاهِ الْمَلِقَةِ وَاللِّسَانَ الْمُتَكَلِّمَ بِالْعَظَائِمِ

4  Who have said, "With our tongue we will prevail; Our lips are our own; Who is lord over us?"

4  الَّذِينَ قَالُوا: [بِأَلْسِنَتِنَا نَتَجَبَّرُ. شِفَاهُنَا مَعَنَا. مَنْ هُوَ سَيِّدٌ عَلَيْنَا؟].

5  "For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, Now I will arise," says the Lord; "I will set him in the safety for which he yearns."

5  [مِنِ اغْتِصَابِ الْمَسَاكِينِ مِنْ صَرْخَةِ الْبَائِسِينَ الآنَ أَقُومُ يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ. [أَجْعَلُ فِي وُسْعٍ الَّذِي يُنْفُثُ فِيهِ].

6  The words of the Lord are pure words, Like silver tried in a furnace of earth, Purified seven times.

6  كَلاَمُ الرَّبِّ كَلاَمٌ نَقِيٌّ كَفِضَّةٍ مُصَفَّاةٍ فِي بُوطَةٍ فِي الأَرْضِ مَمْحُوصَةٍ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ.

7  You shall keep them, O Lord, You shall preserve them from this generation forever.

7  أَنْتَ يَا رَبُّ تَحْفَظُهُمْ. تَحْرُسُهُمْ مِنْ هَذَا الْجِيلِ إِلَى الدَّهْرِ.

8  The wicked prowl on every side, When vileness is exalted among the sons of men.

8  الأَشْرَارُ يَتَمَشُّونَ مِنْ كُلِّ نَاحِيَةٍ عِنْدَ ارْتِفَاعِ الأَرْذَالِ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ.
