Ψαλμοί 30
1 «Ψαλμός ωδής εις τον εγκαινιασμόν του οίκου του Δαβίδ.» Θέλω σε μεγαλύνει, Κύριε· διότι συ με ανύψωσας, και δεν εύφρανας τους εχθρούς μου επ' εμέ.
Yahweh, I praise you because you rescued me. You did not allow [me to die], [with the result that] my enemies could gloat/rejoice.
2 Κύριε ο Θεός μου, εβόησα προς σε, και με εθεράπευσας.
Yahweh, my God, I called out for you to help [me when I was ill], and you healed me.
3 Κύριε, ανεβίβασας εξ άδου την ψυχήν μου· μ' εφύλαξας την ζωήν, διά να μη καταβώ εις τον λάκκον. (Sheol h7585)
You saved/restored me when I was dying [MTY]. I was nearly dead, but you caused me to get well again. (Sheol h7585)
4 Ψαλμωδήσατε εις τον Κύριον, οι όσιοι αυτού, και υμνείτε την μνήμην της αγιωσύνης αυτού.
All you who belong to Yahweh, sing praise to him! Think about what [God], the holy one, has done, and thank him!
5 Διότι η οργή αυτού διαρκεί μίαν μόνην στιγμήν· ζωή όμως είναι εν τη ευμενεία αυτού· το εσπέρας δύναται να συγκατοικήση κλαυθμός, αλλά το πρωΐ έρχεται αγαλλίασις.
When he becomes angry, he is angry for only a very short time [HYP], but he is good [to us] all of our life. We may cry during the night, but the next morning we will be joyful.
6 Εγώ δε είπα εν τη ευτυχία μου, δεν θέλω σαλευθή εις τον αιώνα.
As for me, when I had no troubles, I said [to myself], “No one will defeat me!”
7 Κύριε, διά της ευμενείας σου εστερέωσας το όρος μου. Απέκρυψας το πρόσωπόν σου, και εταράχθην.
Yahweh, because you were good to me, at first you caused me to be safe [as though I was inside] [MET] a mountain. But then [I became ill, and I thought that] you had turned away from me, and I became afraid.
8 Προς σε, Κύριε, έκραξα· και προς τον Κύριον εδεήθην.
[Then] I called out to you, and I pleaded for you [to help me].
9 Τις ωφέλεια εν τω αίματί μου, εάν καταβώ εις τον λάκκον; μήπως θέλει σε υμνεί ο κονιορτός; θέλει αναγγέλλει την αλήθειάν σου;
[I said], “Yahweh, (what will you gain if I die?/ you won’t gain anything if I die) [MTY]. (In what way will it benefit you?/it won’t benefit you at all) if I go to the place where the dead people are [RHQ]. Dead people are certainly not able to praise you [RHQ], and they are not able to tell others that you are trustworthy [RHQ]!
10 Άκουσον, Κύριε, και ελέησόν με· Κύριε, γενού βοηθός μου.
Yahweh, listen to me, and be merciful to me! Yahweh, help me!”
11 Μετέβαλες εις εμέ τον θρήνόν μου εις χαράν· έλυσας τον σάκκόν μου και με περιέζωσας ευφροσύνην·
But [now you have healed me], and you have caused me to change from being sad to dancing [joyfully]. You have taken away the clothes that showed that I was very sad and you have given me clothes that showed that I was [very] joyful.
12 διά να ψαλμωδή εις σε η δόξα μου και να μη σιωπά. Κύριε ο Θεός μου, εις τον αιώνα θέλω σε υμνεί.
So I will not be silent; I will sing out [loudly] to praise you. Yahweh, you are my God, and I will thank you forever.
