Psalms 39
1 To the choirmaster (for Jeduthun *Q(K)*) a psalm of David. I said I will guard ways my from sinning with tongue my I will keep to mouth my a muzzle while still [the] wicked [is] to before me.
Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. ElikaJeduthuni. Ihubo likaDavida. Ngathi, “Ngizaziqaphela izindlela zami, ngiluthinte ulimi lwami esonweni; ngizawugcika umlomo wami nxa ababi bekhona phambi kwami.”
2 I was dumb silence I was silent from good and pain my it was stirred up.
Kodwa kwathi lapho ngithule ngithe zwi, ngingatsho lutho loba lungoluhle ubuhlungu benhliziyo yami bakhula.
3 It became hot heart my - in inner being my in sighing my it burned fire I spoke with tongue my.
Inhliziyo yami yavutha ngaphakathi kwami; kwathi lapho ngizuliswa yimicabango, umlilo wavutha; ngasengikhuluma ngolimi lwami:
4 Make known to me O Yahweh - end my and [the] measure of days my what? [is] it let me know how! fleeting [am] I.
“Ngitshengisa, Thixo, isiphetho sempilo yami lobunengi bezinsuku zami; ngazisa ukuthi impilo yami igijima kanganani.
5 Here! handbreadths - you have made days my and lifespan my [is] like nothing before you [is] only all vanity all humankind [which] stands (Selah)
Usuwenze insuku zami zaba lobubanzi besandla; ububanzi beminyaka yami kabusilutho kuwe. Impilo yabantu ingumoya kuphela, kanye lalabo abakhanya behlalisekile.
6 Only an image - he goes about a person only vanity people are in turmoil! he heaps up and not he knows who? [will be] gathering them.
Umuntu uhambahamba njengesithunzi nje; uyatshikatshika, kodwa konke akwenzayo kuyize lodwa; ubuthelela inotho engazi ukuthi izakuba ngekabani.
7 And now what? do I wait for O Lord hope my [is] to you it.
Kodwa okwamanje, Thixo, ngisafunani kambe? Ithemba lami likuwe.
8 From all transgressions my deliver me a reproach of [the] foolish may not you make me.
Ngisindisa kuzozonke iziphambeko zami; ungangenzi inhlekisa yezitha.
9 I am dumb not I open mouth my for you you have acted.
Ngathula; ngangingeke ngiwuvule umlomo wami, ngoba lokhu kwenziwe nguwe.
10 Remove from on me plague your from [the] hostility of hand your I I have come to an end.
Susa uswazi lwakho kimi; sengikhulelwa yisidutshulo sesandla sakho.
11 With rebukes on iniquity - you have disciplined a person and you have melted like moth desired [thing] his [is] only vanity all humankind (Selah)
Abantu uyabakhuza ubajezisele isono sabo; ucikiza inotho yabo njengenondo ngempela umuntu ngamunye ungumoya nje.
12 Hear! prayer my - O Yahweh and cry for help my - give ear to! to tear[s] my may not you be silent for [am] a sojourner I with you a resident alien like all ancestors my.
Zwana umkhuleko wami, Oh Thixo, lalela isikhalazo sami ngicela uncedo; ungabi ligcikandlebe nxa ngikhala. Phela ngihlala lawe nginjengesihambi, ngiyisethekeli njengoba okhokho bonke babenjalo.
13 Smear from me so let me be cheerful before I will go and there not [will be] me.
Ake ukhangele eceleni nje ukuze ngithokoze njalo, ngingakasuki lapha ngibe ngongasekho.”
