Psalms 39
1 Unto the end. For Jeduthun himself. A Canticle of David. I said, “I will keep to my ways, so that I will not offend with my tongue.” I posted a guard at my mouth, when a sinner took up a position against me.
I IHO ia au, e malama au i ko'u hele ana, O hana hewa au me kuu alelo: E malama au i kuu waha me ka paawaha, I ka wa o ka mea lawehala imua o'u.
2 I was silenced and humbled, and I was quiet before good things, and my sorrow was renewed.
Ua mumule loa au me ka leo ole, Aole au i pane aku, aole i ka maikai; A ua hoola hou ia kuu kaumaha.
3 My heart grew hot within me, and, during my (meditation) a fire would flare up.
Wela mai kuu naau maloko o'u; I kuu noonoo ana aa iho la ke ahi; Olelo aku la hoi au me kuu alelo,
4 I spoke with my tongue, “O Lord, make me know my end, and what the number of my days will be, so that I may know what is lacking to me.”
E hoiko mai ia'u, o Iehova, i ko'u hopena; A me ke ano o ka ana ana o kuu mau la, I ike au i ko'u palupalu ana.
5 Behold, you have made my days measurable, and, before you, my substance is as nothing. Yet truly, all things are vanity: every living man.
Eia hoi, ua hoohalike oe i kuu mau la me ka palahalaha o ka peahilima; A me kuu mau makahiki me he mea ole la imua ou; He oiaio, he hanu wale no kela kanaka keia kanaka i kona hoonoho paa ia. (Sila)
6 So then, truly man passes by like an image; even so, he is disquieted in vain. He stores up, and he knows not for whom he will gather these things.
Oiaio, ke hele nei kela kanaka keia kanaka me he aka oiaio ole la: He oiaio, ma ka mea lapuwale i pihoihoi ai lakou: Hoahu ae la ia i ka waiwai aole hoi i ike i ka mea nana ia e ohi.
7 And now, what is it that awaits me? Is it not the Lord? And my substance is with you.
Ano hoi, heaha ka'u e kali nei, e ka Haku? O ko'u manao lana aia no maluna o'u.
8 Rescue me from all my iniquities. You have handed me over as a reproach to the foolish.
E hookaawale aku i ko'u mau hewa a pau; Mai noho a hoolilo ia'u i mea e hoinoin'i e ka poe naaupo.
9 I was silenced, and I did not open my mouth, because it was you who acted.
Ua mumule loa au, aole hoi o ekemu kuu waha; No ka mea, nau no i hana mai.
10 Remove your scourges from me.
E lawe aku i kou hahau ana mai o'u aku nei: Ua pau e au i ka hahau ana mai o kou lima.
11 I fall short at corrections from the strength of your hand. For you have chastised man for iniquity. And you have made his soul shrink away like a spider. Nevertheless, it is in vain that any man be disquieted.
Aia hahau oe i ke kanaka me ka papa ana mai no kona hewa, Ua hoopau oe i kona nani me he mu la; Oiaio, he hanu wale no na kanaka a pau. (Sila)
12 O Lord, heed my prayer and my supplication. Pay attention to my tears. Do not be silent. For I am a newcomer with you, and a sojourner, just as all my fathers were.
E hoolohe mai i ka'u pule, e Iehova, E haliu mai i ka pepeiao i ko'u kahea ana; Mai noho a hookuli i ko'u waimaka: No ka mea, he malihini au me oe, He mea noho iki e like me ko'u mau makua a pau.
13 Forgive me, so that I may be refreshed, before I will go forth and be no more.
E hookoe mai ia'u, i loaa hou mai ka ikaika ia'u. Mamua o ko'u hele ana aku, a e ole loa hoi.
