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?
En Psalm Davids, till att föresjunga, om hindena som bittida jagad varder. Min Gud, min Gud, hvi hafver du öfvergifvit mig? Jag ryter; men min hjelp är fjerran.
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.
Min Gud, om dagen ropar jag, så svarar du intet; och om nattena tiger jag ock intet.
3 But you are holy. You sit on your throne as king, and [we the people of] Israel praise you [PRS].
Men du äst helig, du som bor ibland Israels lof.
4 Our ancestors trusted in you. [Because] they trusted in you, you rescued them.
Våre fäder hoppades uppå dig; och då de hoppades, halp du dem ut.
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).
Till dig ropade de, och vordo hulpne; de hoppades på dig, och vordo icke till skam.
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.
Men jag är en matk, och icke menniska; menniskors gabberi, och folks föraktelse.
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 de som mig se, bespotta mig, gapa upp med munnen, och rista hufvudet:
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!”
Han klage det Herranom; han hjelpe honom ut, och undsätte honom, om han hafver lust till honom.
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).
Ty du hafver dragit mig utu mitt moderlif; och vast min tröst, då jag än vid mine moders bröst låg.
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.
På dig är jag kastad utaf moderlifvet; du äst min Gud, allt ifrå mine moders lif.
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.
Var icke långt ifrå mig; ty ångest är hardt när; ty här är ingen hjelpare.
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.
Store stutar hafva belagt mig; fete oxar hafva omhvärft mig.
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].
De uppgapa med sin mun emot mig, såsom ett glupande och rytande lejon.
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.
Jag är utgjuten såsom vatten; all min ben hafva skiljts åt; mitt hjerta i mitt lif är såsom ett smält vax.
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!
Mina krafter äro borttorkade, såsom ett stycke af en potto; och min tunga lådar vid min gom, och du lägger mig uti dödsens stoft.
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.
Ty hundar hafva kringhvärft mig, och de ondas rote hafver ställt sig omkring mig; mina händer och fötter hafva de genomborrat.
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.
Jag måtte tälja all min ben; men de skåda och se sin lust på mig.
18 They looked at the clothes that I [was wearing] and gambled to determine which piece each of them would get.
De byta min kläder emellan sig, och kasta lott om min klädnad.
19 O Yahweh, do not stay far away from me! You who are my [source of] strength, come quickly and help me!
Men du, Herre, var icke fjerran; min starkhet, skynda dig till att hjelpa mig.
20 Rescue me from [those who want to kill me with] their swords. Save me from those who are [like wild/fierce] dogs [MET].
Fria mina själ ifrå svärdet, mina ensamma ifrå hundarna.
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]!
Hjelp mig utu lejonens mun, och fria mig ifrån enhörningarna.
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].
Jag vill predika ditt Namn minom brödrom; jag vill prisa dig i församlingene.
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!
Lofver Herran, I som frukten honom; honom äre all Jacobs säd, och honom vörde all Israels säd.
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.
Ty han hafver icke föraktat eller försmått dens fattiga eländhet; och icke förskylt sitt ansigte för honom; och då han ropade till honom, hörde han det.
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.
Dig vill jag prisa, uti den stora församlingene; jag vill betala mitt löfte inför dem som frukta honom.
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!
De elände skola äta, att de mätte varda; och de som efter Herran fråga, skola prisa honom; edart hjerta skall lefva evinnerliga.
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.
Tänke derpå alla verldenes ändar, och omvände sig till Herran; och alla Hedningars slägter tillbedje för honom.
28 Because Yahweh is the king! He rules all the nations.
Herren hafver ett rike, och han råder ibland Hedningarna.
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 fete på jordene skola äta, och tillbedja; för honom skola knäböja alle de som i stoft ligga, och de der med bekymmer lefva.
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].
Han skall få ena säd, den honom tjenar; om Herran skall man förkunna intill barnabarn.
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!”
De skola, komma och predika hans rättfärdighet de folke, som födas skall, att han det gör.
