Psalms 39
1 For the Chief Musician, 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 my mouth with a bridle, 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, even from good; and my sorrow was stirred.
Nangina mihitsy aho, namihim-bava ka tsy nilaza na dia ny tsara aza, dia nihetsika mafy ny fanaintainan’ ny aretiko.
3 My heart was hot within me; while I was musing the fire kindled: [then] spake 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 frail 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] handbreadths; 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 every man walketh in a vain shew: surely they are disquieted in vain: 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 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 foolish.
Manafaha ahy amin’ ny fahadisoako rehetra; aza manao ahy ho fanakoran’ ny adala.
9 I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because thou didst it.
Mangìna aho ka tsy miloa-bava fa ianao no nanao izao.
10 Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of thine hand.
Aoka hitsahatra ny fikapohanao ahy; reraka aho azon’ ny famelin’ ny tananao.
11 When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity, thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth: 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; hold not thy peace 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 O spare me, that I may recover strength, 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.
