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.
Para el músico principal. Un salmo de David. Dichoso el que considera a los pobres. Yahvé lo librará en el día del 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.
Yahvé lo preservará y lo mantendrá con vida. Será bendecido en la tierra, y no lo entregará a la voluntad de sus enemigos.
3 When they are sick, Yahweh strengthens them, and he heals them.
Yahvé lo sostendrá en su lecho de enfermo, y restaurarlo de su lecho de enfermedad.
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.”
Dije: “¡Yahvé, ten piedad de mí! Cúrame, porque he pecado 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).”
Mis enemigos hablan mal de mí: “¿Cuándo morirá y perecerá su nombre?”
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.
Si viene a verme, habla con falsedad. Su corazón recoge la iniquidad para sí mismo. Cuando va al extranjero, lo cuenta.
7 All those who hate me whisper to others about me, and they hope/desire that very bad things will happen to me.
Todos los que me odian susurran juntos contra mí. Se imaginan lo peor para mí.
8 They say, “He will soon die because of his being sick; he will never get up from his bed [before he dies].”
“Una mala enfermedad”, dicen, “lo ha afligido. Ahora que yace no se levantará más”.
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].
Sí, mi propio amigo familiar, en quien confié, que comió el pan conmigo, ha levantado su talón contra mí.
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).
Pero tú, Yahvé, ten piedad de mí y levántame, para que yo les pague.
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 esto sé que te deleitas en mí, porque mi enemigo no triunfa sobre mí.
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.
En cuanto a mí, me sostienes en mi integridad, y ponme en tu presencia para siempre.
13 Praise Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship]; Praise him forever! Amen! I desire that it will be so!
Benditosea Yahvé, el Dios de Israel, ¡desde la eternidad y hasta la eternidad! Amén y amén.
