Psalms 39

1 For the Chief Musician. For Jeduthun. A Psalm by David. I said, “I will watch my ways, so that I do not sin with my tongue. I will keep my mouth with a bridle while the wicked is before me.”

NGAI inda: I pan kanai ong al ai kan, pwe i ender wia dip ki lo i. I pan sali pena au ai arain en me sapung o mi re i.

2 I was mute with silence. I held my peace, even from good. My sorrow was stirred.

I kadukiedier ai lokaia o nenenlar o solar inda duen peren, a ai kalokolok lalaudalar.

3 My heart was hot within me. While I meditated, the fire burned. I spoke with my tongue:

Mongiong i karakaradar nan kapedi, o ma i pan tamanda mepukat, a rasong kisiniai lulada; i ap lokaia kida lo i.

4 “LORD, show me my end, what is the measure of my days. Let me know how frail I am.

Maing, kotin padaki ong ia, me maur i pan imwisokela, o imwi pan ai ran akan, me i pan samoer.

5 Behold, you have made my days hand widths. My lifetime is as nothing before you. Surely every man stands as a breath.” (Selah)

Mangi, ai ran akan dueta tälap en pa en aramas re omui; o maur i likamata sota meakot mo’mui. Melel aramas, me kin keleki pein i, kin dueta adiniai. (Sela)

6 “Surely every man walks like a shadow. Surely they busy themselves in vain. He heaps up, and does not know who shall gather.

Re kin alialu sili rasong mota, o re kin katoutouki pein irail dodok mal. Re kin nanak pena ap sasa, is me pan naineki.

7 Now, Lord, what do I wait for? My hope is in you.

Ari Maing, is me i en auiaui? I kaporoporeki komui.

8 Deliver me from all my transgressions. Do not make me the reproach of the foolish.

Dore ia la sang dip ai karos, o kom der mueid ong, me pweipwei kan en kaurur kin ia.

9 I was mute. I did not open my mouth, because you did it.

I pan nenenla o sota sar pasang au ai, pwe kom kotin wiadar.

10 Remove your scourge away from me. I am overcome by the blow of your hand.

Kotin katukiedi omui kaloke ia; pwe ngai dupok kilar ai kalokolok pan lim omui.

11 When you rebuke and correct man for iniquity, you consume his wealth like a moth. Surely every man is but a breath.” (Selah)

Ma kom pan kaloke amen pweki dip a, mom a kaselel ap pan suedala likamada man en mot kangala. O meid mal aramas karos! (Sela)

12 “Hear my prayer, LORD, and give ear to my cry. Do not be silent at my tears. For I am a stranger with you, a foreigner, as all my fathers were.

Maing kom kotin ereki ai kapakap, o mangi ai likwir, o der sapaimokid ni ai sangesang, pwe ngai sapwilim omui men kairu o pweledan omui wei men dueta sam ai kan karos.

13 Oh spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go away and exist no more.”

Kom kotin muei sang ia, pwe i en kelailada, mon ai pan kokowei o solar mia.
