Psalms 41
1 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:
Zborovođi. Psalam. Davidov. Blago onome koji misli na uboga i slaba: u dan nevolje Jahve će ga spasiti!
2 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!
Jahve će ga štititi i živa sačuvati, sreću mu dati na zemlji i neće ga predati na volju dušmanima.
3 Yahweh, will sustain him upon the bed of sickness, All his couch, hast thou transformed in his disease.
Jahve će ga ukrijepiti na postelji boli, bolest mu okrenuti u snagu.
4 I, said—O Yahweh, show me favour, heal thou my soul, for I have sinned against thee:
Zavapih: “Jahve, smiluj mi se, iscijeli mi dušu jer tebi sagriješih!”
5 Mine enemies, speak ill of me, 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 have come to see me, Falsehood, doth he speak, His own heart, gathereth iniquity to itself, he goeth forth, abroad he telleth it.
I dođe li tko da me posjeti, himbeno govori, u srcu pakosti skuplja i vani opada.
7 Together—against me, do all who hate me whisper among themselves, Against me, devise they hurt for me.
Mrzitelji moji svi složno šapuću o meni; zlo mi dosuđuju:
8 An infliction of the Abandoned One hath been fixed upon him, and, now that he hath lien down, he will not again rise.
“Pogubna se pošast na nj oborila.” Ili: “Tko jednom leže, više ne ustaje.”
9 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!
Pa i prijatelj moj u koga se uzdah, koji blagovaše kruh moj, petu na me podiže.
10 But, thou, O Yahweh, show me favour and raise me up, That I may repay them.
A ti, Jahve, smiluj se meni i podigni me da im mogu uzvratiti.
11 Hereby, do I know that thou delightest in me, In that mine enemy shall not raise a shout over me.
Po tome ću znati da sam mio tebi: što se dušmanin moj neće veseliti nada mnom.
12 But, as for me, In my blamelessness, hast thou held me fast, And hast caused me to stand before thee unto times age-abiding.
A mene ćeš zdrava uzdržati i pred svoje me lice staviti dovijeka.
13 Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, From the age that is past, even unto the age yet to come: Amen and Amen!
Blagoslovljen Jahve, Bog Izraelov, od vijeka do vijeka! Tako neka bude! Amen!
