Psalms 39

1 For the choirmaster. For Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. I said, “I will watch my ways so that I will not sin with my tongue; I will guard my mouth with a muzzle as long as the wicked are present.”

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 speechless and still; I remained silent, even from speaking good, and my sorrow was stirred.

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

3 My heart grew hot within me; as I mused, the fire burned. Then 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 “Show me, O LORD, my end and the measure of my days. Let me know how fleeting my life is.

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

5 You, indeed, have made my days as handbreadths, and my lifetime as nothing before You. Truly each man at his best exists as but a breath.

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 goes about like a phantom; surely he bustles in vain; he heaps up riches not knowing who will haul them away.

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 And now, O Lord, for what do I wait? 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 fools.

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

9 I have become mute; I do not open my mouth because of what You have done.

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

10 Remove Your scourge from me; I am perishing by the force of Your hand.

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

11 You discipline and correct a man for his iniquity, consuming like a moth what he holds dear; surely each man is but a vapor.

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, O LORD, and give ear to my cry for help; do not be deaf to my weeping. For I am a foreigner dwelling with You, a stranger like all my fathers.

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 Turn Your gaze away from me, that I may again be cheered before I depart and am no more.”

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