Psalms 41

1 To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. O the happiness of him Who is acting wisely unto the poor, In a day of evil doth Jehovah deliver him.

١ لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ، مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ طُوبَى لِلْمُتَرَفِّقِ بِالْمِسْكِينِ، فَإِنَّ الرَّبَّ يُنْقِذُهُ فِي يَوْمِ الشَّرِّ.

2 Jehovah doth preserve him and revive him, He is happy in the land, And Thou givest him not into the will of his enemies.

٢ الرَّبُّ يَحْفَظُهُ وَيُحْيِيهِ وَيُسْعِدُهُ فِي الأَرْضِ، وَلَا يُسَلِّمُهُ إِلَى مَقَاصِدِ أَعْدَائِهِ.

3 Jehovah supporteth on a couch of sickness, All his bed Thou hast turned in his weakness.

٣ يَعْضُدُهُ الرَّبُّ عَلَى فِرَاشِ الأَلَمِ، وَيَرُدُّ عَافِيَتَهُ.

4 I — I said, 'O Jehovah, favour me, Heal my soul, for I did sin against Thee,'

٤ وَأَنَا قُلْتُ: يَا رَبُّ ارْحَمْنِي! أَبْرِئْ نَفْسِي لأَنِّي قَدْ أَخْطَأْتُ إِلَيْكَ.

5 Mine enemies say evil of me: When he dieth — his name hath perished!

٥ أَعْدَائِي يَتَآمَرُونَ عَلَيَّ بِالشَّرِّ وَيَقُولُونَ: «مَتَى يَمُوتُ وَيَنْقَرِضُ اسْمُهُ؟»

6 And if he came to see — vanity he speaketh, His heart gathereth iniquity to itself, He goeth out — at the street he speaketh.

٦ إِنْ أَقْبَلَ لِيَرَانِي، يُبْدِي لِي نِفَاقاً وَيُضْمِرُ فِي قَلْبِهِ شَرّاً يُشِيعُهُ عَنِّي حَالَمَا يُفَارِقُنِي.

7 All hating me whisper together against me, Against me they devise evil to me:

٧ جَمِيعُ مُبْغِضِيَّ يَتَهَامَسُونَ عَلَيَّ، وَيَتَآمَرُونَ عَلَى إِيذَائِي

8 A thing of Belial is poured out on him, And because he lay down he riseth not again.

٨ قَائِلِينَ: «قَدِ اعْتَرَاهُ دَاءٌ عُضَالٌ، وَلَنْ يَقُومَ مِنْ فِرَاشِهِ أَبَداً».

9 Even mine ally, in whom I trusted, One eating my bread, made great the heel against me,

٩ حَتَّى صَدِيقِي الْمُلازِمُ لِي الَّذِي وَثِقْتُ بِهِ، الآكِلُ مِنْ طَعَامِي قَدِ انْقَلَبَ عَلَيَّ، وَرَفَعَ عَلَيَّ عَقِبَهُ.

10 And Thou, Jehovah, favour me, And cause me to rise, And I give recompence to them.

١٠ أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا رَبُّ فَارْحَمْنِي وَاشْفِنِي، فَأُجَازِيَهُمْ.

11 By this I have known, That Thou hast delighted in me, Because my enemy shouteth not over me.

١١ قَدْ أَدْرَكْتُ أَنِّي حَظِيتُ بِرِضَاكَ (حِينَ نَصَرْتَنِي) فَلَمْ يُطْلِقْ عَلَيَّ عَدُوِّي هُتَافَ الظَّفَرِ

12 As to me, in mine integrity, Thou hast taken hold upon me, And causest me to stand before Thee to the age.

١٢ فَإِنَّكَ تَدْعَمُنِي فِي كَمَالِي، وَتُقِيمُنِي فِي مَحْضَرِكَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ.

13 Blessed [is] Jehovah, God of Israel, From the age — and unto the age. Amen and Amen.

١٣ تَبَارَكَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، مِنَ الأَزَلِ وَإِلَى الأَبَدِ. آمِين فَآمِين.
