Oh that I were as in months past, as in the days when God preserved me;
يا ليتني كما في الشهور السالفة وكالايام التي حفظني الله فيها
-
3
When his candle shined upon my head, and when by his light I walked through darkness;
حين اضاء سراجه على راسي وبنوره سلكت الظلمة.
-
4
As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God was upon my tabernacle;
كما كنت في ايام خريفي ورضا الله على خيمتي
-
5
When the Almighty was yet with me, when my children were about me;
والقدير بعد معي وحولي غلماني
-
6
When I washed my steps with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil;
اذ غسلت خطواتي باللبن والصخر سكب لي جداول زيت
-
7
When I went out to the gate through the city, when I prepared my seat in the street!
حين كنت اخرج الى الباب في القرية واهيّئ في الساحة مجلسي.

8
The young men saw me, and hid themselves: and the aged arose, and stood up.
رآني الغلمان فاختبأوا والاشياخ قاموا ووقفوا.
-
9
The princes refrained talking, and laid their hand on their mouth.
العظماء امسكوا عن الكلام ووضعوا ايديهم على افواههم.

10
The nobles held their peace, and their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth.
صوت الشرفاء اختفى ولصقت ألسنتهم باحناكهم.
-
11
When the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it gave witness to me:
لان الاذن سمعت فطوّبتني والعين رأت فشهدت لي.
-
12
Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him.
لاني انقذت المسكين المستغيث واليتيم ولا معين له.
-
13
The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.
بركة الهالك حلت عليّ وجعلت قلب الارملة يسرّ.

14
I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment was as a robe and a diadem.
لبست البر فكساني. كجبّة وعمامة كان عدلي.
-
15
I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame.
كنت عيونا للعمي وارجلا للعرج.
-
16
I was a father to the poor: and the cause which I knew not I searched out.
اب انا للفقراء ودعوى لم اعرفها فحصت عنها.
-
17
And I brake the jaws of the wicked, and plucked the spoil out of his teeth.
هشمت اضراس الظالم ومن بين اسنانه خطفت الفريسة.

Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply my days as the sand.
فقلت اني في وكري اسلم الروح ومثل السمندل اكثر اياما.

My root was spread out by the waters, and the dew lay all night upon my branch.
أصلي كان منبسطا الى المياه والطل بات على اغصاني.

20
My glory was fresh in me, and my bow was renewed in my hand.
كرامتي بقيت حديثة عندي وقوسي تجددت في يدي.

21
Unto me men gave ear, and waited, and kept silence at my counsel.
لي سمعوا وانتظروا ونصتوا عند مشورتي.
-
22
After my words they spake not again; and my speech dropped upon them.
بعد كلامي لم يثنّوا وقولي قطر عليهم.
-
23
And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain.
وانتظروني مثل المطر وفغروا افواههم كما للمطر المتأخر.

ان ضحكت عليم لم يصدقوا ونور وجهي لم يعبسوا.
