I have saved my own soul, I (did my best and) am responsible for it no longer

Figuratively: I have managed to save myself and am no longer concerned with the rest. An expression of indifference toward the fate of others.

Translation

Expression (Hebrew)

אֲנִי אֶת נַפְשִׁי הִצַּלְתִּי

Definition (Hebrew)

בְּהַשְׁאָלָה: אֶת עַצְמִי הִסְפַּקְתִּי לְהַצִּיל וְלֹא מְעַנְיֵן אוֹתִי הַשְּׁאָר. הַבָּעַת חֹסֶר אִכְפַּתִּיּוּת לְגוֹרַל הַזּוּלָת.

("וְאַתָּה כִּי הִזְהַרְתּוֹ צַדִּיק לְבִלְתִּי חֲטֹא צַדִּיק וְהוּא לֹא חָטָא חָיוֹ יִחְיֶה כִּי נִזְהָר וְאַתָּה אֶת נַפְשְׁךָ הִצַּלְתָּ"- יְחֶזְקֵאל ג כא)
