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].”
Para Jedutún, el director del coro. Un salmo de David. Me digo a mí mismo, “Seré cuidadoso en lo que haga, y no pecaré en lo que diga. Mantendré mi boca callada cuando los malvados me rodeen”.
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.
Estaba completamente en silencio, no dije incluso nada bueno. Pero el dolor por dentro solo empeoraba.
3 I became very anxious/worried [IDM]. As I thought [about my troubles], I became more worried. Then [finally] I said [MTY],
Pero mi mente quemaba como si estuviera en llamas; tenía que decir lo que pensaba:
4 “Yahweh, show/tell me how long I will live. Tell me when I will die. Tell me how many years I will live!
Señor, recuérdame. ¿Cuán corta es mi vida? ¿Cuánto tiempo me queda? Recuérdame cuán rápido mi vida pasará.
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.
¡Sólo fíjate los pocos días que me has dado! A tus ojos todo mi tiempo es como si fuera nada. Nuestras vidas aquí son como un simple suspiro… (Selah)
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].
Los seres humanos son como sombras caminando por ahí. Corren sin un objetivo por la vida, tratando de acumular posesiones sin saber quiénes se quedarán con ellas.
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].
Así que Señor, ¿Qué estoy buscando yo? Pongo mi esperanza en ti.
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.
Sálvame de mi rebelión. No dejes que sea burlado por los tontos.
9 I did not say anything [when you punished me], because [I knew that] you were the one who caused [me to suffer].
Me mantendré quieto, no diré ni una palabra, porque eres tú quien me ha hecho esto.
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.
¡Por favor, deja de golpearme! ¡Tu golpiza me ha acabado!
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.
Cuando nos disciplinas, reprendiéndonos por nuestros pecados, es como una polilla comiéndose todo lo que es precioso para nosotros. Todos nosotros somos solo un suspiro… (Selah)
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.
¡Por favor Señor, escucha mi oración! ¡Escucha mi clamor pidiendo ayuda! No seas sordo para con mi llanto. Por favor trátame como tu invitado, haz como con mis antepasados.
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]”
Por favor, déjame en paz para que pueda sonreír de nuevo, antes de que muera y me vaya de este mundo.
