Psalmi 41

1 Zborovođi. Psalam. Davidov. Blago onome koji misli na uboga i slaba: u dan nevolje Jahve će ga spasiti!

To the Chief Musician. A Melody of David. How happy is he that is attentive to the poor, In the day of calamity, will Yahweh deliver him:

2 Jahve će ga štititi i živa sačuvati, sreću mu dati na zemlji i neće ga predati na volju dušmanima.

Yahweh, will preserve him and keep him alive, And he shall be pronounced happy in the land, Do not then give him up at the desire of his enemies!

3 Jahve će ga ukrijepiti na postelji boli, bolest mu okrenuti u snagu.

Yahweh, will sustain him upon the bed of sickness, All his couch, hast thou transformed in his disease.

4 Zavapih: “Jahve, smiluj mi se, iscijeli mi dušu jer tebi sagriješih!”

I, said—O Yahweh, show me favour, heal thou my soul, for I have sinned against thee:

5 Neprijatelji zlo govore o meni: “Kad će umrijeti i kad će mu nestati imena?”

Mine enemies, speak ill of me, When will he die, and his name perish?

6 I dođe li tko da me posjeti, himbeno govori, u srcu pakosti skuplja i vani opada.

And, if he have come to see me, Falsehood, doth he speak, His own heart, gathereth iniquity to itself, he goeth forth, abroad he telleth it.

7 Mrzitelji moji svi složno šapuću o meni; zlo mi dosuđuju:

Together—against me, do all who hate me whisper among themselves, Against me, devise they hurt for me.

8 “Pogubna se pošast na nj oborila.” Ili: “Tko jednom leže, više ne ustaje.”

An infliction of the Abandoned One hath been fixed upon him, and, now that he hath lien down, he will not again rise.

9 Pa i prijatelj moj u koga se uzdah, koji blagovaše kruh moj, petu na me podiže.

Even the man whom I used to salute, in whom I put confidence, who used to eat my bread, —hath magnified his heel against me!

10 A ti, Jahve, smiluj se meni i podigni me da im mogu uzvratiti.

But, thou, O Yahweh, show me favour and raise me up, That I may repay them.

11 Po tome ću znati da sam mio tebi: što se dušmanin moj neće veseliti nada mnom.

Hereby, do I know that thou delightest in me, In that mine enemy shall not raise a shout over me.

12 A mene ćeš zdrava uzdržati i pred svoje me lice staviti dovijeka.

But, as for me, In my blamelessness, hast thou held me fast, And hast caused me to stand before thee unto times age-abiding.

13 Blagoslovljen Jahve, Bog Izraelov, od vijeka do vijeka! Tako neka bude! Amen!

Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, From the age that is past, even unto the age yet to come: Amen and Amen!
