Preklad a interpretácia vybraných veršov Žalmu 91 s ohľadom na jeho kumránsky variant vo zvitku 11Q11
Translation and Interpretation of Selected Verses of Psalm 91 with Regard to Its Qumran Variant in Scroll 11Q11

Summary/Abstract: The Book of Psalms, as part of Hebrew poetry, expresses the concept of the relationship between God and humans. This is reflected in the dynamics of parallelisms into a dialogical alternation of voices. Rhetorical simplifications of the dialogical statements occur in the poetic structures which brings ambiguities in their understanding. There have also been attempts to interpret them in subsequent translations. The article notes the associated linguistic peculiarities using the example of Psalm 91, which in terms of its spiritual content and theological significance, ranks among the most celebrated texts of biblical poetry. The analysis of the textual criticism and syntax of its verses (vv. 1–2 and v. 9) attempts to explain the tendency towards their modification in the textual tradition, to understand the logic of their structural connection and, based on the Qumran variant contained in the Apocryphal Psalm Scroll (11Q11) from 50–70 CE, to offer an emendation for a fluent and comprehensible reading.
