Zabura 39
1 Don mai bi da kaɗe-kaɗe. Don Yedutun. Zabura ta Dawuda. Na ce, “Zan lura da hanyoyina zan kuma kiyaye harshena daga zunubi; zan sa linzami a bakina muddin mugaye suna a gabana.”
To the chief Musician, to 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 muzzle, while the wicked is before me.
2 Na yi shiru, ban ce kome ba, Ko a kan abin da yake da kyau! Amma duk da haka wahalata sai ƙaruwa take yi;
I was dumb with silence, I held my peace from good; and my sorrow was stirred.
3 zuciyata ta ƙara zafi a cikina. Kuma sa’ad da nake tunani, wuta ta yi ta kuna; sai na yi magana da harshena na ce,
My heart burned within me; the fire was kindled in my musing: I spoke with my tongue,
4 “Nuna mini, ya Ubangiji, ƙarshen rayuwata da kuma yawan kwanakina; bari in san yadda rayuwata tana wucewa da sauri.
Make me to know, Jehovah, mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is: I shall know how frail I am.
5 Ka sa kwanakina suka zama tafin hannu ne kawai; yawan shekaruna kamar ba kome ba ne a gabanka. Duk ran mutum shaƙar iska ne kurum, har ma waɗanda suke tsammani suke da kāriya. (Sela)
Behold, thou hast made my days [as] hand-breadths, and my lifetime is as nothing before thee; verily, every man, [even] the high placed, is altogether vanity. (Selah)
6 “Mutum dai shirim ne kawai yayinda yake kai da komowa. Yana ta yawo, amma a banza ne kawai; yakan tara dukiya, ba tare da sanin wa zai more ta ba.
Verily, man walketh in a vain show; verily they are disquieted in vain; he heapeth up [riches], and knoweth not who shall gather them.
7 “Amma yanzu, ya Ubangiji, me zan nema? Begena yana a gare ka.
And now, what wait I for, Lord? my hope is in thee.
8 Ka cece ni daga dukan laifofina; kada ka sa in zama abin dariya ga wawaye.
Deliver me from all my transgressions; make me not the reproach of the foolish.
9 Na yi shiru; ba zan buɗe bakina ba, gama kai ne wanda ka aikata wannan.
I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; for thou hast done [it].
10 Ka ɗauke bulalarka daga gare ni; na ji jiki ta wurin bugun da hannunka ya yi mini.
Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of thy hand.
11 Kakan tsawata ka kuma hore mutane saboda zunubinsu; kakan cinye wadatarsu kamar yadda asu ke yi, kowane mutum dai shaƙar iska ne. (Sela)
When thou with rebukes dost correct a man for iniquity, thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth: surely, every man is vanity. (Selah)
12 “Ka ji addu’ata, ya Ubangiji, ka saurari kukata ta neman taimako; kada ka kurmance ga kukata. Gama ina zama tare da kai kamar baƙo, baƙo, kamar yadda dukan kakannina sun kasance.
Hear my prayer, Jehovah, and give ear unto my cry; be not silent at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, a sojourner, like all my fathers.
13 Ka kau da fuskarka daga gare ni, saboda in sāke yin farin ciki kafin in tafi in kuma rabu da nan.”
Look away from me, and let me recover strength, before I go hence and be no more.
