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.
Salmo de Davi, para o regente: Bem-aventurado aquele que dá atenção ao miserável; o SENHOR o livrará no dia do mal.
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.
O SENHOR o guardará, e o manterá vivo; ele será bem-aventurado na terra; e tu não o entregarás à vontade de seus inimigos.
3 When they are sick, Yahweh strengthens them, and he heals them.
O SENHOR o sustentará no leito de enfermidade; na doença dele tu mudas toda a sua cama.
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.”
Eu disse: SENHOR, tem piedade de mim, sara a minha alma, porque eu pequei contra ti.
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).”
Meus inimigos falam mal de mim, [dizendo]: Quando ele morrerá? [Quando] o nome dele perecerá?
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.
E se [algum deles] vem me ver, fala coisas sem valor, [e] seu coração junta maldade; ele sai, [e] fala disso.
7 All those who hate me whisper to others about me, and they hope/desire that very bad things will happen to me.
Todos os que me odeiam murmuram juntamente de mim; contra mim eles planejam o mal para mim, [dizendo]:
8 They say, “He will soon die because of his being sick; he will never get up from his bed [before he dies].”
Uma doença maligna está posta sobre ele; e aquele que está deitado não se levantará mais.
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].
Até o homem [que era] meu amigo íntimo, em quem eu confiava, que comia do meu pão; grandemente levantou contra mim seu calcanhar.
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).
Porém tu, SENHOR, tem piedade de mim, e levanta-me; e eu lhes darei o pagamento [que merecem].
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.
Por isto eu sei que tu te agradas de mim: porque meu inimigo não se declara vencedor sobre mim;
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.
E quanto a mim, tu me sustentas em minha sinceridade; e tu me puseste diante de ti para sempre.
13 Praise Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship]; Praise him forever! Amen! I desire that it will be so!
Bendito [seja] o SENHOR, Deus de Israel, para todo o sempre! Amém e Amém!
