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.
よわき人をかへりみる者はさいはひなり ヱホバ斯るものを禍ひの日にたすけたまはん
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.
ヱホバ之をまもり之をながらへしめたまはん かれはこの地にありて福祉をえん なんぢ彼をその仇ののぞみにまかせて付したまふなかれ
3 When they are sick, Yahweh strengthens them, and he heals them.
ヱホバは彼がわづらひの床にあるをたすけ給はん なんぢかれが病るときその衾裯をしきかへたまはん
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.”
我いへらくヱホバよわれを憐みわがたましひを醫したまへ われ汝にむかひて罪ををかしたりと
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).”
わが仇われをそしりていへり 彼いづれのときに死いづれのときにその名ほろびんと
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.
かれ又われを見んとてきたるときは虚偽をかたり邪曲をその心にあつめ 外にいでてはこれを述ぶ
7 All those who hate me whisper to others about me, and they hope/desire that very bad things will happen to me.
すべてわれをにくむもの互ひにささやき我をそこなはんとて相謀る
8 They say, “He will soon die because of his being sick; he will never get up from his bed [before he dies].”
かつ云 かれに一のわざはひつきまとひたれば仆れふしてふたたび起ることなからんと
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].
わが恃みしところ わが糧をくらひしところのわが親しき友さへも我にそむきてその踵をあげたり
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).
然はあれどヱホバよ汝ねがはくは我をあはれみ我をたすけて起したまへ されば我かれらに報ることをえん
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.
わが仇われに打勝てよろこぶこと能はざるをもて汝がわれを愛いつくしみたまふを我しりぬ
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.
わが事をいはば なんぢ我をわが完全うちにてたもち我をとこしへに面のまへに置たまふ
13 Praise Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship]; Praise him forever! Amen! I desire that it will be so!
イスラエルの神ヱホバはとこしへより永遠までほむべきかな アーメン アーメン
