Psalms 41
1 Yahweh is pleased with those people who help to provide for the poor; he will rescue those people when they have troubles.
| لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ. مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ طُوبَى لِلَّذِي يَنْظُرُ إِلَى ٱلْمِسْكِينِ. فِي يَوْمِ ٱلشَّرِّ يُنَجِّيهِ ٱلرَّبُّ. | ١ |
2 Yahweh protects them and allows them to live [for a long time]. He enables them to be happy in the land [of Israel], and rescues them from their enemies.
| ٱلرَّبُّ يَحْفَظُهُ وَيُحْيِيهِ. يَغْتَبِطُ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَلَا يُسَلِّمُهُ إِلَى مَرَامِ أَعْدَائِهِ. | ٢ |
3 When they are sick, Yahweh strengthens them, and he heals them.
| ٱلرَّبُّ يَعْضُدُهُ وَهُوَ عَلَى فِرَاشِ ٱلضُّعْفِ. مَهَّدْتَ مَضْجَعَهُ كُلَّهُ فِي مَرَضِهِ. | ٣ |
4 [When I was sick], I said, “Yahweh, be merciful to me and heal me; [I know that I am sick because] I have sinned against you.”
| أَنَا قُلْتُ: «يَارَبُّ ٱرْحَمْنِي. ٱشْفِ نَفْسِي لِأَنِّي قَدْ أَخْطَأْتُ إِلَيْكَ». | ٤ |
5 My enemies say cruel things about me; they say, “How soon will he die, and then everyone will forget about him [MTY]? (OR, he will not have [any descendants to continue] his name).”
| أَعْدَائِي يَتَقَاوَلُونَ عَلَيَّ بِشَرٍّ: «مَتَى يَمُوتُ وَيَبِيدُ ٱسْمُهُ؟» | ٥ |
6 When my enemies come to me, they falsely say that they [are concerned about me]. They listen to bad news about (me/my health). Then they go away and tell everywhere what is happening to me.
| وَإِنْ دَخَلَ لِيَرَانِي يَتَكَلَّمُ بِٱلْكَذِبِ. قَلْبُهُ يَجْمَعُ لِنَفْسِهِ إِثْمًا. يَخْرُجُ. فِي ٱلْخَارِجِ يَتَكَلَّمُ. | ٦ |
7 All those who hate me whisper to others about me, and they hope/desire that very bad things will happen to me.
| كُلُّ مُبْغِضِيَّ يَتَنَاجَوْنَ مَعًا عَلَيَّ. عَلَيَّ تَفَكَّرُوا بِأَذِيَّتِي. | ٧ |
8 They say, “He will soon die because of his being sick; he will never get up from his bed [before he dies].”
| يَقُولُونَ: «أَمْرٌ رَدِيءٌ قَدِ ٱنْسَكَبَ عَلَيْهِ. حَيْثُ ٱضْطَجَعَ لَا يَعُودُ يَقُومُ». | ٨ |
9 Even my best friend, whom I trusted very much, who [often] ate with me, has (betrayed me/put me into my enemies’ hands) [IDM].
| أَيْضًا رَجُلُ سَلَامَتِي، ٱلَّذِي وَثِقْتُ بِهِ، آكِلُ خُبْزِي، رَفَعَ عَلَيَّ عَقِبَهُ! | ٩ |
10 But Yahweh, be merciful to me, and enable me to become healthy [again]. When you do that, I will be able to (pay back my enemies/get revenge on my enemies/cause my enemies to suffer like they caused me to suffer).
| أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَارَبُّ فَٱرْحَمْنِي وَأَقِمْنِي، فَأُجَازِيَهُمْ. | ١٠ |
11 [If you enable me to] do that, with the result that my enemies do not defeat me, I will know that you are pleased with me.
| بِهَذَا عَلِمْتُ أَنَّكَ سُرِرْتَ بِي، أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَهْتِفْ عَلَيَّ عَدُوِّي. | ١١ |
12 [I will know that] it is because I have done what is right that you have helped me, and [I will know that] you will let me be with you forever.
| أَمَّا أَنَا فَبِكَمَالِي دَعَمْتَنِي، وَأَقَمْتَنِي قُدَّامَكَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. | ١٢ |
13 Praise Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship]; Praise him forever! Amen! I desire that it will be so!
| مُبَارَكٌ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، مِنَ ٱلْأَزَلِ وَإِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. آمِينَ فَآمِينَ. | ١٣ |
