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.
Zborovođi. Psalam. Davidov. Blago onome koji misli na uboga i slaba: u dan nevolje Jahve će ga spasiti!
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.
Jahve će ga štititi i živa sačuvati, sreću mu dati na zemlji i neće ga predati na volju dušmanima.
3 When they are sick, Yahweh strengthens them, and he heals them.
Jahve će ga ukrijepiti na postelji boli, bolest mu okrenuti u snagu.
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.”
Zavapih: “Jahve, smiluj mi se, iscijeli mi dušu jer tebi sagriješih!”
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).”
Neprijatelji zlo govore o meni: “Kad će umrijeti i kad će mu nestati imena?”
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.
I dođe li tko da me posjeti, himbeno govori, u srcu pakosti skuplja i vani opada.
7 All those who hate me whisper to others about me, and they hope/desire that very bad things will happen to me.
Mrzitelji moji svi složno šapuću o meni; zlo mi dosuđuju:
8 They say, “He will soon die because of his being sick; he will never get up from his bed [before he dies].”
“Pogubna se pošast na nj oborila.” Ili: “Tko jednom leže, više ne ustaje.”
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].
Pa i prijatelj moj u koga se uzdah, koji blagovaše kruh moj, petu na me podiže.
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).
A ti, Jahve, smiluj se meni i podigni me da im mogu uzvratiti.
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.
Po tome ću znati da sam mio tebi: što se dušmanin moj neće veseliti nada mnom.
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.
A mene ćeš zdrava uzdržati i pred svoje me lice staviti dovijeka.
13 Praise Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship]; Praise him forever! Amen! I desire that it will be so!
Blagoslovljen Jahve, Bog Izraelov, od vijeka do vijeka! Tako neka bude! Amen!
