Psalms 39
1 For Jeduthun, the music director. A psalm of David. I told myself, “I will be careful in what I do, and not sin in what I say. I will keep my mouth shut when the wicked are around.”
Untuk pemimpin kor. Mazmur Daud. Untuk Yedutun. Pikirku, "Aku mau menjaga diri supaya tidak berdosa dengan lidahku. Aku tak mau berbicara selama orang jahat masih dekat."
2 So I was completely silent—I didn't even say anything good. But the pain inside only got worse.
Aku diam seribu bahasa, sehingga merugikan diriku sendiri. Dan penderitaanku terasa semakin berat;
3 My mind burned as if on fire; I had to say what I was thinking:
aku dicekam kecemasan yang hebat. Makin dipikirkan, makin susah hatiku; akhirnya berkatalah aku,
4 Lord, remind me. How short is my life? How long do I have? Remind me how quickly my life will pass.
"TUHAN, beritahukanlah kapan ajalku supaya aku tahu betapa pendek hidupku."
5 Just look at the tiny amount of days you have given me! In your eyes my whole lifetime is like nothing. Our lives here are just a breath… (Selah)
Betapa singkat Kautentukan umurku! Bagi-Mu jangka hidupku tidak berarti. Sungguh, manusia seperti hembusan napas saja,
6 Human beings are just shadows walking around. They pointlessly rush through life, trying to pile up possessions without knowing who will get them.
hidupnya berlalu seperti bayangan. Semua kesibukannya sia-sia belaka; ia menimbun harta, tapi tak tahu siapa akan memakainya.
7 So Lord, what am I looking for? I put my hope in you.
Sekarang apa yang kunantikan, ya TUHAN? Pada-Mulah harapanku.
8 Save me from my rebellion. Don't let me be mocked by fools.
Lepaskanlah aku dari semua dosaku, jangan biarkan aku menjadi ejekan orang dungu.
9 I will stay quiet, I won't say a word, for it's you who has done this to me.
Aku diam dan tidak membuka mulutku, sebab Engkaulah yang menghajar aku.
10 Please stop hitting me! Your beating has worn me out!
Ambillah hukuman-Mu daripadaku, sebab aku hampir mati karena pukulan-Mu.
11 When you discipline us, reprimanding us for our sins, it's like a moth eating up what is precious to us. All of us are just a breath… (Selah)
Manusia karena kesalahannya; Kauhukum dan Kauhajar seperti ngengat Kauhancurkan apa yang berharga baginya. Sungguh, manusia seperti hembusan napas saja.
12 Please hear my prayer, Lord! Listen to my cry for help! Don't be deaf to my weeping. Please treat me as your guest, passing through, just like my forefathers.
Dengarlah doaku ya TUHAN, perhatikanlah permohonanku; jangan tinggal diam bila aku menangis. Seperti semua nenek moyangku, cuma sebentar saja aku menumpang pada-Mu.
13 Please leave me alone so I can be cheerful again, before I am dead and gone.
Jangan mengganggu aku, supaya aku sedikit senang, sebelum aku pergi dan tak ada lagi.
