Psalms 39
1 For the Leader, for Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. I said: 'I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue; I will keep a curb upon my mouth, while the wicked is before me.'
Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Ho an’ i Jedotona Salamo nataon’ i Davida. Hoy izaho: hitandrina ny lalako aho ka tsy hanota amin’ ny lelako; hasiako fehim-bava ny vavako, raha mbola eo anatrehako ny ratsy fanahy.
2 I was dumb with silence; I held my peace, had no comfort; and my pain was held in check.
Nangina mihitsy aho, namihim-bava ka tsy nilaza na dia ny tsara aza, dia nihetsika mafy ny fanaintainan’ ny aretiko.
3 My heart waxed hot within me; while I was musing, the fire kindled; then spoke I with my tongue:
Nafana ny foko tato anatiko; raha nieritreritra aho, dia nisy afo nirehitra, ka niteny tamin’ ny lelako aho.
4 'LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; let me know how short-lived I am.
Jehovah ô, ampahafantaro ny farako aho sy izay ohatry ny androko; aoka ho fantatro fa olon-kandalo aho.
5 Behold, Thou hast made my days as hand-breadths; and mine age is as nothing before Thee; surely every man at his best estate is altogether vanity. (Selah)
Indro efa nataonao vodivoam-pelatanana ny androko, ary ny fiainako toy ny tsinontsinona eo anatrehanao. Zava-poana ihany tokoa ny olon-drehetra, na dia matanjaka aza. (Sela)
6 Surely man walketh as a mere semblance; surely for vanity they are in turmoil; he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them.
Aloka tokoa no fandehandehan’ ny olona; zava-poana tokoa no itabatabàny; mihary harena izy nefa tsy fantany izay ho tompon’ izany.
7 And now, Lord, what wait I for? My hope, it is in Thee.
Ary ankehitriny, inona no andrasako Tompo ô? Hianao no antenaiko.
8 Deliver me from all my transgressions; make me not the reproach of the base.
Manafaha ahy amin’ ny fahadisoako rehetra; aza manao ahy ho fanakoran’ ny adala.
9 I am dumb, I open not my mouth; because Thou hast done it.
Mangìna aho ka tsy miloa-bava fa ianao no nanao izao.
10 Remove Thy stroke from off me; I am consumed by the blow of Thy hand.
Aoka hitsahatra ny fikapohanao ahy; reraka aho azon’ ny famelin’ ny tananao.
11 With rebukes dost Thou chasten man for iniquity, and like a moth Thou makest his beauty to consume away; surely every man is vanity. (Selah)
Anatra noho ny fahadisoany no ananaranao ny olona, ka manimba ny hatsaran-tarehiny tahaka ny kalalao ianao; zava-poana tokoa ny olona rehetra. (Sela)
12 Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear unto my cry; keep not silence at my tears; for I am a stranger with Thee, a sojourner, as all my fathers were.
Mandrenesa ny fivavako Jehovah ô, ary mihainoa ny fitarainako; aza mangìna amin’ ny ranomasoko fa vahiny aminao aho sy mpivahiny tahaka ny razako rehetra.
13 Look away from me, that I may take comfort, before I go hence, and be no more.'
Aza atrehinao aho aloha, dia ho miramirana indray, dieny aho tsy mbola lasa ka tsy ho eto intsony.
