Psalms 39
1 For victorie, to Iditum, the song of Dauid. I seide, Y schal kepe my weies; that Y trespasse not in my tunge. I settide kepyng to my mouth; whanne a synnere stood ayens me.
Kwa mwimbishaji. Mtindo wa Yeduthuni. Zaburi ya Daudi. Nilisema, “Nitaziangalia njia zangu na kuuzuia ulimi wangu usije ukatenda dhambi; nitaweka lijamu kinywani mwangu wakati wote waovu wanapokuwa karibu nami.”
2 I was doumb, and was mekid ful gretli, and was stille fro goodis; and my sorewe was renulid.
Lakini niliponyamaza kimya na kutulia, hata pasipo kusema lolote jema, uchungu wangu uliongezeka.
3 Myn herte was hoot with ynne me; and fier schal brenne out in my thenkyng.
Moyo wangu ulipata moto ndani yangu, nilipotafakari, moto uliwaka, ndipo nikasema kwa ulimi wangu:
4 I spak in my tunge; Lord, make thou myn eende knowun to me. And the noumbre of my daies what it is; that Y wite, what failith to me.
“Ee Bwana, nijulishe mwisho wa maisha yangu na hesabu ya siku zangu; nijalie kujua jinsi maisha yangu yanavyopita upesi.
5 Lo! thou hast set my daies mesurable; and my substaunce is as nouyt bifor thee. Netheles al vanytee; ech man lyuynge.
Umefanya maisha yangu mafupi kama pumzi; muda wangu wa kuishi ni kama hauna thamani kwako. Maisha ya kila mwanadamu ni kama pumzi.
6 Netheles a man passith in ymage; but also he is disturblid veynli. He tresorith; and he noot, to whom he `schal gadere tho thingis.
Hakika kila binadamu ni kama njozi aendapo huku na huko: hujishughulisha na mengi lakini ni ubatili; anakusanya mali nyingi, wala hajui ni nani atakayeifaidi.
7 And now which is myn abiding? whether not the Lord? and my substaunce is at thee.
“Lakini sasa Bwana, nitafute nini? Tumaini langu ni kwako.
8 Delyuere thou me fro alle my wickidnessis; thou hast youe me schenschip to the vnkunnynge.
Niokoe kutoka kwenye makosa yangu yote, usinifanye kuwa dhihaka ya wapumbavu.
9 I was doumbe, and openyde not my mouth; for thou hast maad,
Nilinyamaza kimya, sikufumbua kinywa changu, kwa sababu wewe ndiwe uliyetenda hili.
10 remoue thou thi woundis fro me.
Niondolee mjeledi wako, nimeshindwa kwa mapigo ya mkono wako.
11 Fro the strengthe of thin hond Y failide in blamyngis; for wickidnesse thou hast chastisid man. And thou madist his lijf to faile as an yreyne; netheles ech man is disturblid in veyn.
Unakemea na kuadhibu wanadamu kwa ajili ya dhambi zao; unaharibu utajiri wao kama nondo aharibuvyo: kila mwanadamu ni kama pumzi tu.
12 Lord, here thou my preier and my bisechyng; perseyue thou with eeris my teeris.
“Ee Bwana, usikie maombi yangu, usikie kilio changu unisaidie, usiwe kiziwi kwa kulia kwangu. Kwani mimi ninaishi na wewe kama mgeni, kama walivyokuwa baba zangu wote,
13 Be thou not stille, for Y am a comelyng at thee; and a pilgrime, as alle my fadris. Foryyue thou to me, that Y be refreischid, bifor that Y go; and Y schal no more be.
Tazama mbali nami, ili niweze kufurahi tena kabla sijaondoka na nisiwepo tena.”
