Psalmien 22
1 Veisuunjohtajalle; veisataan kuin: "Aamuruskon peura"; Daavidin virsi. Jumalani, Jumalani, miksi minut hylkäsit? Miksi olet kaukana, et auta minua, et kuule valitukseni sanoja?
My God, my God, why have you abandoned/deserted me? Why do you stay so far from me, and why do you not hear/help me [RHQ]? Why do you not hear me when I am groaning?
2 Jumalani, minä huudan päivällä, mutta sinä et vastaa, ja yöllä, enkä voi vaieta.
My God, every day I call to you during the daytime and during the night, but you do not answer me, so I am not able to sleep.
3 Ja kuitenkin sinä olet Pyhä, jonka istuin on Israelin kiitosvirtten keskellä.
But you are holy. You sit on your throne as king, and [we the people of] Israel praise you [PRS].
4 Meidän isämme luottivat sinuun, he luottivat, ja sinä pelastit heidät.
Our ancestors trusted in you. [Because] they trusted in you, you rescued them.
5 He huusivat sinua ja pelastuivat; he luottivat sinuun eivätkä tulleet häpeään.
When they cried out to you, you saved them. They trusted in you, and (they were not disappointed/you [saved them] as you said that you would).
6 Mutta minä olen mato enkä ihminen, ihmisten pilkka ja kansan hylky.
But [you have not rescued me] [People despise me and consider that I am not a man]; [they think that] I am [as worthless as] a worm! Everyone [HYP] scorns me and despises me.
7 Kaikki, jotka minut näkevät, pilkkaavat minua, levittelevät suutansa, nyökyttävät ilkkuen päätään:
Everyone who sees me [HYP] makes fun of me. They sneer at me and [insult me by] shaking their heads [at me as though I were an evil man]. They say,
8 "Jätä asiasi Herran haltuun. Hän vapahtakoon hänet, hän pelastakoon hänet, koska on häneen mielistynyt."
“He trusts in Yahweh, so Yahweh should save him! [He says that] Yahweh is very pleased with him; if that is so, Yahweh should rescue him!”
9 Sinähän vedit minut äitini kohdusta, sinä annoit minun olla turvassa äitini rinnoilla;
[Why do] you [not] protect me [now as you did] when I was born? I was safe even when I was (nursing/drinking milk from my mother’s breasts).
10 sinun huomaasi minä olen jätetty syntymästäni saakka, sinä olet minun Jumalani hamasta äitini kohdusta.
[It was as though] you adopted me right when I was born. You have (been my God/taken care of me) ever since I was born.
11 Älä ole minusta kaukana, sillä ahdistus on läsnä, eikä auttajaa ole.
So, (do not stay far from/stay close to) [LIT] me now because [enemies who will cause me much] trouble are near me, and there is no one [else] who can help me.
12 Minua saartavat väkevät sonnit, Baasanin härät piirittävät minut,
[My enemies] surround me [like] a herd/group of wild bulls. [Fierce people, like those] strong bulls that graze [on the hills] in Bashan [area], encircle me.
13 avaavat kitansa minua vastaan, niinkuin raatelevat, kiljuvat leijonat.
[They are like] roaring lions that are attacking the animals that they want to kill [MET] [and eat]; they rush toward me [to kill] me; they [are like lions that] have their mouths open, [ready to tear their victims to pieces] [MET].
14 Niinkuin vesi minä olen maahan vuodatettu; kaikki minun luuni ovat irti toisistansa; minun sydämeni on niinkuin vaha, se on sulanut minun rinnassani.
I am completely exhausted [MET], and all my bones are out of their joints/places. I [no longer expect that God will save me]; [that expectation is gone completely], like wax that has melted away.
15 Minun voimani on kuivettunut kuin saviastian siru, ja kieleni tarttuu suuni lakeen, ja sinä lasket minut alas kuoleman tomuun.
My strength is [all dried up] [MET] like a broken piece of a clay jar that has dried [in the sun]. [I am so thirsty that] my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. O God, [I think that you are about to let] me die and become dirt!
16 Sillä koirat minua piirittävät, pahain parvi saartaa minut, minun käteni ja jalkani, niinkuin jalopeurat.
My enemies [MET] surround me like a pack/group of wild dogs. A group of evil men has encircled me, [ready to attack me]. They have [already] smashed my hands and my feet.
17 Minä voin lukea kaikki luuni; he katselevat minua ilkkuen;
[I am so weak and thin that] my bones can be seen and counted. My enemies stare at me and (gloat/are happy) about [what has happened to] me.
18 he jakavat keskenänsä minun vaatteeni ja heittävät minun puvustani arpaa.
They looked at the clothes that I [was wearing] and gambled to determine which piece each of them would get.
19 Mutta sinä, Herra, älä ole kaukana, sinä, minun väkevyyteni, riennä avukseni.
O Yahweh, do not stay far away from me! You who are my [source of] strength, come quickly and help me!
20 Vapahda minun sieluni miekasta, minun ainokaiseni koirain kynsistä.
Rescue me from [those who want to kill me with] their swords. Save me from those who are [like wild/fierce] dogs [MET].
21 Pelasta minut jalopeuran kidasta, villihärkäin sarvista-vastaa minulle.
Snatch me away from [my enemies who are] like lions whose jaws [are already open, ready to chew me up] Grab me away from [those men who are like] wild oxen [that attack other animals with] their horns [MET]!
22 Minä julistan sinun nimeäsi veljilleni, ylistän sinua seurakunnan keskellä.
[But you have saved me, so] I will declare to my fellow [Israelis] how great you [MTY] are. I will praise you among the group of your people gathered [to worship you].
23 Te, jotka pelkäätte Herraa, ylistäkää häntä. Kunnioittakaa häntä, kaikki Jaakobin siemen, kaikki Israelin siemen, peljätkää häntä.
You people who have an awesome respect for Yahweh, praise him! All you who are descended from Jacob, honor Yahweh! All you Israeli people, revere him!
24 Sillä hän ei halveksi kurjan kärsimystä, ei katso sitä ylen, eikä kätke häneltä kasvojansa, vaan kuulee hänen avuksihuutonsa.
He does not despise or ignore those who are suffering; he does not hide (his face/himself) from them. He has listened to them when they cried out to him for help.
25 Sinusta on minun ylistyslauluni suuressa seurakunnassa; minä täytän lupaukseni häntä pelkääväisten edessä.
Yahweh, in the great gathering [of your people], I will praise you for what you have done. In the presence of those who revere you, I will offer [the sacrifices] that I promised.
26 Nöyrät saavat syödä ja tulevat ravituiksi; ne, jotka etsivät Herraa, ylistävät häntä. Teidän sydämenne on elävä iankaikkisesti.
The poor people [whom I have invited to the meal] will eat as much as they want. All who come worship Yahweh will praise him. I pray that [God will enable] you all to live a long and happy life!
27 Kaikki maan ääret muistavat tämän ja palajavat Herran tykö; kaikki pakanain sukukunnat kumartavat häntä;
I pray that [people in all nations, even] in the remote areas, will think about Yahweh and turn to him, and that people from all the clans in the world will bow down before him.
28 sillä Herran on kuninkuus, ja hän on hallitseva pakanoita.
Because Yahweh is the king! He rules all the nations.
29 Kaikki maan mahtavat syövät ja kumartavat; hänen edessään polvistuvat kaikki, jotka mullan alle astuvat eivätkä voi elossa pysyä.
I desire that all the rich people on the earth will bow before him. Some day they will die, but I want them to prostrate themselves on the ground in his presence [before they die].
30 Jälkeentulevaiset palvelevat häntä, tuleville polville kerrotaan Herrasta.
People (in the future generations/who have not been born yet) will also serve Yahweh. Our descendants will be told about what Yahweh [has done].
31 He tulevat ja julistavat vastedes syntyvälle kansalle hänen vanhurskauttaan, että hän on tämän tehnyt.
People who are not yet born, [who will live in future years], will be told how Yahweh rescued his people. People will tell them, “Yahweh did it!”
