Psalmi 40
1 Dāvida dziesma. Dziedātāju vadonim. Es gaidu gaidīdams uz To Kungu, Viņš griežas pie manis un paklausa manu kliegšanu.
I waited patiently for Yahweh [to help me], and he listened to me [DOU] when I called out to him.
2 Jo Viņš mani izvilka no briesmīgas bedres un no dubļainām dūņām un cēla manas kājas uz akmens kalnu un stiprināja manus soļus.
[When I had many troubles, it was as though] I was in a deep pit. But he lifted me up out of the mud and slime of that pit; he set my feet on a [solid] rock, and enabled me to walk (safely/without falling).
3 Un ir licis manā mutē jaunu dziesmu, teikšanas dziesmu mūsu Dievam; daudzi to redzēs un bīsies un cerēs uz To Kungu.
He has given me a new song to sing, a song to praise him who is our God. Many people will find out [what he has done for me], and they will revere and trust him.
4 Svētīgs tas vīrs, kas savu cerību liek uz To Kungu, un negriežās pie tiem lepniem un pie tiem, kas ar meliem tinās.
Yahweh is pleased with those who trust him, those who do not trust in idols or join with those who worship those false gods.
5 Kungs, mans Dievs, lieli ir Tavi brīnumi, ko Tu mums parādi, un Tavi padomi; nekas Tev nav līdzinājams. Es tos gribu pasludināt un izteikt, tie nav izskaitāmi.
O Yahweh, my God, you have done many wonderful things! No one can list all the wonderful things that you have planned for us. If I tried to tell [others] about all those wonderful things, I would not be able to, because there would be too many for me to mention.
6 Upuri un ēdami upuri Tev nepatīk, ausis Tu man esi atvēris; dedzināmos upurus un grēku upurus Tu neprasi.
Various kinds of sacrifices and other offerings are not the [only] things that delight you. You have enabled me to understand that very well [IDM]. [Animals] burned [on the altar] and [other] offerings are not all that you require [for sins to be forgiven].
7 Tad es sacīju: Redzi, es nāku, grāmatā stāv par mani rakstīts.
So I said [to you], “Yahweh, here I am, [to do] the things that have been written in the scroll [that contains your laws], things that you want me [to do].”
8 Man ir prieks, darīt Tavu prātu, mans Dievs, un Tava bauslība ir manā sirds dziļumā.
O my God, I delight to do what you desire; I [keep] your laws within my inner being.
9 Es sludināšu taisnību lielā draudzē; redzi, savas lūpas es neaizdarīšu; Kungs, Tu to zini.
Whenever all [your people] are gathered, I have told them about how you save us. Yahweh, you know that I have not been afraid to tell that to them.
10 Tavu taisnību es neslēpju savā sirdī, no Tavas patiesības un pestīšanas es runāju, Tavu žēlastību un uzticību es neslēpju lielā draudzē.
And I have not kept to myself the news that you always act justly/fairly; when many of your people have gathered together [to worship you in the temple], I have told them that you are faithful to us and save us. I have (not concealed/openly told people) that you faithfully love us and act loyally toward us.
11 Tu, ak Kungs, nenovērs Savu apžēlošanu no manis; lai Tava žēlastība un patiesība vienmēr mani pasargā!
Yahweh, do not stop being merciful to me. Because you faithfully love [me] [PRS] and are loyal [to me], always protect me.
12 Jo ap mani ir apmetušās bēdas, ko nevar skaitīt, mani noziegumi mani sagrābuši, ka nevaru redzēt; viņu ir vairāk, nekā matu uz manas galvas, un mana sirds mani atstājusi.
I have many troubles; [so many that] I cannot count them. My sins are like a flood that has covered me [PRS, MET]; [they are so many that] I cannot find my way. The sins that I have committed are more than the hairs on my head. I am very discouraged.
13 Lai tev patīk, Kungs, mani izglābt, steidzies, ak Kungs, man palīgā!
O Yahweh, please save me! Come quickly to help me!
14 Lai top kaunā un kopā paliek par apsmieklu, kas manu dvēseli meklē, to samaitāt; lai top dzīti atpakaļ un paliek kaunā, kas par manu nelaimi priecājās!
Humble those who are happy about my troubles, and cause them to be disgraced and ashamed. Chase away those who are trying to get rid of me.
15 Lai savas bezkaunības dēļ tie iztrūcinājās, kas no manis saka: tā, tā.
I hope/desire that those who make fun of me will be dismayed when you defeat them.
16 Lai priecājās un līksmojās iekš Tevis visi, kas Tevi meklē, un lai tie, kas Tavu pestīšanu mīļo, allažiņ saka: Tas Kungs ir augsti teicams.
But I hope that all those who go to [worship] you will be very joyful [DOU]. I want those who love you because you saved them to shout repeatedly, “Yahweh is great!”
17 Gan es esmu bēdīgs un nabags, bet Tas Kungs par mani gādā. Tu esi mans palīgs un mans glābējs; ak, mans Dievs, nekavējies!
As for me, I am poor and needy [DOU]; but [I know that] Yahweh has not forgotten me. O my God, you are the one who saves and helps me, so please come quickly [and help me!]
