< Psalms 41 >

1 Blessed is he who considers a poor man. Jehovah will deliver him in the day of evil.
Zborovođi. Psalam. Davidov. Blago onome koji misli na uboga i slaba: u dan nevolje Jahve će ga spasiti!
2 Jehovah will preserve him, and keep him alive, and he shall be blessed upon the earth. And thou do not deliver him to the will of his enemies.
Jahve će ga štititi i živa sačuvati, sreću mu dati na zemlji i neće ga predati na volju dušmanima.
3 Jehovah will support him upon the bed of languishing. Thou will make all his bed in his sickness.
Jahve će ga ukrijepiti na postelji boli, bolest mu okrenuti u snagu.
4 I said, O Jehovah, have mercy upon me. Heal my soul, for I have sinned against thee.
Zavapih: “Jahve, smiluj mi se, iscijeli mi dušu jer tebi sagriješih!”
5 My enemies speak evil against me, saying, When will he die, and his name perish?
Neprijatelji zlo govore o meni: “Kad će umrijeti i kad će mu nestati imena?”
6 And if he comes to see me, he speaks falsehood. His heart gathers iniquity to itself. When he goes abroad, he tells it.
I dođe li tko da me posjeti, himbeno govori, u srcu pakosti skuplja i vani opada.
7 All who hate me whisper together against me. Against me they devise my hurt.
Mrzitelji moji svi složno šapuću o meni; zlo mi dosuđuju:
8 An evil disease, they say, clings firm to him. And now that he lies he shall rise up no more.
“Pogubna se pošast na nj oborila.” Ili: “Tko jednom leže, više ne ustaje.”
9 Yea, my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who ate of my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.
Pa i prijatelj moj u koga se uzdah, koji blagovaše kruh moj, petu na me podiže.
10 But thou, O Jehovah, have mercy upon me, and raise me up that I may requite them.
A ti, Jahve, smiluj se meni i podigni me da im mogu uzvratiti.
11 By this I know that thou delight in me, because my enemy does not triumph over me.
Po tome ću znati da sam mio tebi: što se dušmanin moj neće veseliti nada mnom.
12 And as for me, thou uphold me in my integrity, and set me before thy face forever.
A mene ćeš zdrava uzdržati i pred svoje me lice staviti dovijeka.
13 Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, from everlasting and to everlasting. Truly, and Truly.
Blagoslovljen Jahve, Bog Izraelov, od vijeka do vijeka! Tako neka bude! Amen!
