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. For Jeduthun. A Melody of David. I said, [to myself, ] I will take heed to my ways, That I sin not with my tongue, —I will put on my mouth a muzzle, So long as the lawless 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, afar from happiness, But, my pain had been 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,
Hot was my heart within me, While I was musing, there was kindled a fire, I spake with my tongue!
4 “Nuna mini, ya Ubangiji, ƙarshen rayuwata da kuma yawan kwanakina; bari in san yadda rayuwata tana wucewa da sauri.
Let me know, O Yahweh, mine end, And the measure of my days—what it is, I would know how short-lived 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)
Lo! as hand-breadths, hast thou granted my days, and my life-time, is as nothing before thee, —Surely, a mere breath, are all men, [even] such as stand firm. (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.
Surely as a shadow, doth every man wander, Surely in vain, do they bustle about, he heapeth things up, and knoweth not who shall gather them in.
7 “Amma yanzu, ya Ubangiji, me zan nema? Begena yana a gare ka.
Now, therefore, for what have I waited, O My Lord? My hope, is, in thee.
8 Ka cece ni daga dukan laifofina; kada ka sa in zama abin dariya ga wawaye.
From all my transgressions, rescue thou me, —The reproach of the base, oh do not make me!
9 Na yi shiru; ba zan buɗe bakina ba, gama kai ne wanda ka aikata wannan.
I am dumb, I cannot open 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 from off me thy stroke, Because of the hostility of thy hand, am, I, consumed.
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, by rebukes for iniquity, thou hast corrected a man, Then hast thou consumed, as a moth, all that was delightful within him, Surely, a breath, are all men. (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, O Yahweh, And, unto my cry for help, give ear, At my tears, do not be silent, —For, a sojourner, am, I, with thee, A stranger, 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 that I may brighten up, Ere yet I depart and am no more.
