Psalms 22
1 My God, my God, why have you abandoned/deserted me? Why do you stay so far from me, and why do you not hear/help me [RHQ]? Why do you not hear me when I am groaning?
Ein Psalm Davids, vorzusingen; von der Hinde, die früh gejagt wird. Mein Gott, mein Gott, warum hast du mich verlassen? ich heule; aber meine Hilfe ist ferne.
2 My God, every day I call to you during the daytime and during the night, but you do not answer me, so I am not able to sleep.
Mein Gott, des Tages rufe ich, so antwortest du nicht; und des Nachts schweige ich auch nicht.
3 But you are holy. You sit on your throne as king, and [we the people of] Israel praise you [PRS].
Aber du bist heilig, der du wohnst unter dem Lobe Israels.
4 Our ancestors trusted in you. [Because] they trusted in you, you rescued them.
Unsre Väter hofften auf dich; und da sie hofften, halfst du ihnen aus.
5 When they cried out to you, you saved them. They trusted in you, and (they were not disappointed/you [saved them] as you said that you would).
Zu dir schrieen sie und wurden errettet; sie hofften auf dich und wurden nicht zu Schanden.
6 But [you have not rescued me] [People despise me and consider that I am not a man]; [they think that] I am [as worthless as] a worm! Everyone [HYP] scorns me and despises me.
Ich aber bin ein Wurm und kein Mensch, ein Spott der Leute und Verachtung des Volks.
7 Everyone who sees me [HYP] makes fun of me. They sneer at me and [insult me by] shaking their heads [at me as though I were an evil man]. They say,
Alle, die mich sehen, spotten mein, sperren das Maul auf und schütteln den Kopf:
8 “He trusts in Yahweh, so Yahweh should save him! [He says that] Yahweh is very pleased with him; if that is so, Yahweh should rescue him!”
“Er klage es dem HERRN; der helfe ihm aus und errette ihn, hat er Lust zu ihm.”
9 [Why do] you [not] protect me [now as you did] when I was born? I was safe even when I was (nursing/drinking milk from my mother’s breasts).
Denn du hast mich aus meiner Mutter Leib gezogen; du warst meine Zuversicht, da ich noch an meiner Mutter Brüsten war.
10 [It was as though] you adopted me right when I was born. You have (been my God/taken care of me) ever since I was born.
Auf dich bin ich geworfen von Mutterleib an; du bist mein Gott von meiner Mutter Schoß an.
11 So, (do not stay far from/stay close to) [LIT] me now because [enemies who will cause me much] trouble are near me, and there is no one [else] who can help me.
Sei nicht ferne von mir, denn Angst ist nahe; denn es ist hier kein Helfer.
12 [My enemies] surround me [like] a herd/group of wild bulls. [Fierce people, like those] strong bulls that graze [on the hills] in Bashan [area], encircle me.
Große Farren haben mich umgeben, gewaltige Stiere haben mich umringt.
13 [They are like] roaring lions that are attacking the animals that they want to kill [MET] [and eat]; they rush toward me [to kill] me; they [are like lions that] have their mouths open, [ready to tear their victims to pieces] [MET].
Ihren Rachen sperren sie auf gegen mich wie ein brüllender und reißender Löwe.
14 I am completely exhausted [MET], and all my bones are out of their joints/places. I [no longer expect that God will save me]; [that expectation is gone completely], like wax that has melted away.
Ich bin ausgeschüttet wie Wasser, alle meine Gebeine haben sich zertrennt; mein Herz ist in meinem Leibe wie zerschmolzen Wachs.
15 My strength is [all dried up] [MET] like a broken piece of a clay jar that has dried [in the sun]. [I am so thirsty that] my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. O God, [I think that you are about to let] me die and become dirt!
Meine Kräfte sind vertrocknet wie eine Scherbe, und meine Zunge klebt an meinem Gaumen, und du legst mich in des Todes Staub.
16 My enemies [MET] surround me like a pack/group of wild dogs. A group of evil men has encircled me, [ready to attack me]. They have [already] smashed my hands and my feet.
Denn die Hunde haben mich umgeben, und der Bösen Rotte hat mich umringt; sie haben meine Hände und Füße durchgraben.
17 [I am so weak and thin that] my bones can be seen and counted. My enemies stare at me and (gloat/are happy) about [what has happened to] me.
Ich kann alle meine Gebeine zählen; aber sie schauen und sehen ihre Lust an mir.
18 They looked at the clothes that I [was wearing] and gambled to determine which piece each of them would get.
Sie teilen meine Kleider unter sich und werfen das Los um mein Gewand.
19 O Yahweh, do not stay far away from me! You who are my [source of] strength, come quickly and help me!
Aber du, HERR, sei nicht ferne; meine Stärke, eile, mir zu helfen!
20 Rescue me from [those who want to kill me with] their swords. Save me from those who are [like wild/fierce] dogs [MET].
Errette meine Seele vom Schwert, meine einsame von den Hunden!
21 Snatch me away from [my enemies who are] like lions whose jaws [are already open, ready to chew me up] Grab me away from [those men who are like] wild oxen [that attack other animals with] their horns [MET]!
Hilf mir aus dem Rachen des Löwen und errette mich von den Einhörnern!
22 [But you have saved me, so] I will declare to my fellow [Israelis] how great you [MTY] are. I will praise you among the group of your people gathered [to worship you].
Ich will deinen Namen predigen meinen Brüdern; ich will dich in der Gemeinde rühmen.
23 You people who have an awesome respect for Yahweh, praise him! All you who are descended from Jacob, honor Yahweh! All you Israeli people, revere him!
Rühmet den HERRN, die ihr ihn fürchtet; es ehre ihn aller Same Jakobs, und vor ihm scheue sich aller Same Israels.
24 He does not despise or ignore those who are suffering; he does not hide (his face/himself) from them. He has listened to them when they cried out to him for help.
Denn er hat nicht verachtet noch verschmäht das Elend des Armen und sein Antlitz vor ihm nicht verborgen; und da er zu ihm schrie, hörte er's.
25 Yahweh, in the great gathering [of your people], I will praise you for what you have done. In the presence of those who revere you, I will offer [the sacrifices] that I promised.
Dich will ich preisen in der großen Gemeinde; ich will mein Gelübde bezahlen vor denen, die ihn fürchten.
26 The poor people [whom I have invited to the meal] will eat as much as they want. All who come worship Yahweh will praise him. I pray that [God will enable] you all to live a long and happy life!
Die Elenden sollen essen, daß sie satt werden; und die nach dem HERRN fragen, werden ihn preisen; euer Herz soll ewiglich leben.
27 I pray that [people in all nations, even] in the remote areas, will think about Yahweh and turn to him, and that people from all the clans in the world will bow down before him.
Es werden gedenken und sich zum HERRN bekehren aller Welt Enden und vor ihm anbeten alle Geschlechter der Heiden.
28 Because Yahweh is the king! He rules all the nations.
Denn des HERRN ist das Reich, und er herrscht unter den Heiden.
29 I desire that all the rich people on the earth will bow before him. Some day they will die, but I want them to prostrate themselves on the ground in his presence [before they die].
Alle Fetten auf Erden werden essen und anbeten; vor ihm werden die Kniee beugen alle, die im Staub liegen, und die, so kümmerlich leben.
30 People (in the future generations/who have not been born yet) will also serve Yahweh. Our descendants will be told about what Yahweh [has done].
Er wird einen Samen haben, der ihm dient; vom Herrn wird man verkündigen zu Kindeskind.
31 People who are not yet born, [who will live in future years], will be told how Yahweh rescued his people. People will tell them, “Yahweh did it!”
Sie werden kommen und seine Gerechtigkeit predigen dem Volk, das geboren wird, daß er's getan hat.
