Psalms 39
1 I said [to myself], “I will be careful not to sin by the things that I say [MTY]. I will not say anything [to complain] while wicked people are near to me [and can hear me].”
Na da amane sia: i, “Na da dawa: iwane hamomu. Na da na gona: su amoga mae wadela: le hamoma: mu. Wadela: i hamosu dunu da na gadenene aligisia, na da sia: hamedafa sia: mu.”
2 [So] I was completely silent [DOU], and I did not [even] talk about things that were good, but it was useless, because I began to suffer even more.
Na da ouiya: le esalu. Noga: i hou amolawane, na da hamedafa sia: i. Be na da bu baligiliwane se nabi.
3 I became very anxious/worried [IDM]. As I thought [about my troubles], I became more worried. Then [finally] I said [MTY],
Amalalu, beda: su hou da na hasali dagoi. Na da bu dawa: lalu amola bu baligili beda: i galu. Na da adole ba: su ouiya: mu da hamedei. Na da Hina Godema amane adole ba: i,
4 “Yahweh, show/tell me how long I will live. Tell me when I will die. Tell me how many years I will live!
“Hina Gode! Na da habowali seda esaloma: bela: ? Na da habogala bogoma: bela: ? Nama adoma! Na esalusu da habogala dagoma: bela: ?”
5 [It seems that] you have caused me to live only a short time; (my lifetime/all the time that I have lived) seems like nothing to you. The time that all we humans live is [as short as] [MET] a puff of wind.
Di da nama esalusu dunumuni fawane i dagoi. Na esalusu da Dia siga hamedei agoane ba: sa. Dafawane! Esalebe dunu huluane afae afae ea esalusu da foga afae fulabole fasibi defele gala.
6 Then we disappear like a shadow does. It seems that all that we do is for nothing/useless. We [sometimes] get a lot of money, but we do not know who will get it [after we die].
Ea esalusu da baba ba: be defele amola seda hame gala. Ea hamobe huluane da udigili fawane hamosa. E da muni amola liligi gagadosa. Be amo fa: no lamu dunu e da hame dawa:
7 So now, Yahweh, if I expect [RHQ] [to receive blessings from other people], I will be disappointed. You are the [only] one from whom I confidently expect [to receive blessings].
Hina Gode! Amai galea, na da adi dafawane hamoma: beyale dawa: ma: bela: ? Na dafawane hamoma: beyale dawa: su da Dima dawa: lumu.
8 Save me from [being punished for] all the sins that I have committed. And do not allow foolish people to make fun of me.
Na wadela: i hou hamoi huluane, amoga Dia na gaga: ma. Amola gagaoui dunu ilia naba: le mae oufesega: ma: ma.
9 I did not say anything [when you punished me], because [I knew that] you were the one who caused [me to suffer].
Na da ouiya: i dialumu, na da sia: afae hame sia: mu. Bai na agoane se nabima: ne, Difawane agoane hahamonesi.
10 But now, please stop punishing me! [If you do not do that], I am about to die because of the ways that you [SYN] have struck/afflicted me.
Di da nama dawa: ma: ne olelesu se iasu bu mae ima! Na da Dia fane sali amoga bogomu agoai galebe.
11 When you rebuke someone and punish him for the sin that he has committed, you destroy the things that (he loves/are precious to him), like moths’ [larva] destroy clothing. Our lives [disappear like] a puff of wind.
Dunu ilia da wadela: i hou galea fawane, Di da ilima se bidi iaha. Amola Di da aowaba agoane, ilia liligi amoga ilia da asigi amo wadela: lesisa. Dafawane! Osobo bagade dunu da foga afae fulabolesibi amo defele gala.
12 Yahweh, listen to me while I pray; pay attention to me while I cry out to you. Help me while I am crying. I am here on the earth for only a short time, like all my ancestors.
Hina Gode! Na Dima sia: ne gadobe nabima! amola na Dima dini iabe nabima! Na da dinanea, nama fidila misa! Na da na aowalali defele, wahamusu dima sofe misi esala.
13 [Now] please leave me alone, [and do not punish me any more] in order that I may smile and be happy for a while before I die. [EUP, DOU]”
Na da hedolowane asili, bu hame ba: muba: le, Dia na fonobahadi hahawane hamoma: ne, na yolesima.
