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 excellent musician Ieduthun. I thought, I will take heede to my wayes, that I sinne not with my tongue: I will keepe my mouth brideled, while the wicked is in my sight.
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 dumme and spake nothing: I kept silece euen from good, and my sorow was more 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,
Mine heart was hote within me, and while I was musing, the fire kindeled, and I spake with my tongue, saying,
4 “Nuna mini, ya Ubangiji, ƙarshen rayuwata da kuma yawan kwanakina; bari in san yadda rayuwata tana wucewa da sauri.
Lord, let me know mine ende, and the measure of my dayes, what it is: let mee knowe howe long I haue to liue.
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)
Beholde, thou hast made my dayes as an hand breadth, and mine age as nothing in respect of thee: surely euery man in his best state is altogether vanitie. (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.
Doubtlesse man walketh in a shadowe, and disquieteth himselfe in vaine: he heapeth vp riches, and cannot tell who shall gather them.
7 “Amma yanzu, ya Ubangiji, me zan nema? Begena yana a gare ka.
And now Lord, what wait I for? mine hope is euen in thee.
8 Ka cece ni daga dukan laifofina; kada ka sa in zama abin dariya ga wawaye.
Deliuer me from all my transgressions, and make me not a rebuke vnto the foolish.
9 Na yi shiru; ba zan buɗe bakina ba, gama kai ne wanda ka aikata wannan.
I should haue bene dumme, and not haue opened my mouth, because thou didest it.
10 Ka ɗauke bulalarka daga gare ni; na ji jiki ta wurin bugun da hannunka ya yi mini.
Take thy plague away from mee: for I am consumed by the stroke of thine 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 doest chastise man for iniquitie, thou as a mothe makest his beautie to consume: surely euery man is vanitie. (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.
Heare my prayer, O Lord, and hearken vnto my cry: keepe not silence at my teares, for I am a strager with thee, and a soiourner as 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.”
Stay thine anger from me, that I may recouer my strength, before I go hence and be not.
