Dagiti Salmo 39

1 Inkeddengko, “Annadak ti ibagak tapno saanak nga agbasol babaen iti dilak. Busalak ti ngiwatko kabayatan nga addaak iti imatang ti dakes a tao.”

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].”

2 Nagtalinaedak a naulimek; linapdak dagiti sasaok uray pay iti panangibagak kadagiti aniaman a nasayaat a banbanag, ket kimmarkaro ti sakitko.

[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.

3 Bimmara ti pusok; idi napanunotko dagitoy a banbanag, simged daytoy a kasla apuy. Ket kamaudiananna, nagsaoak.

I became very anxious/worried [IDM]. As I thought [about my troubles], I became more worried. Then [finally] I said [MTY],

4 O Yahweh, ipakaammom kaniak no kaano ti pagpatinggaan ti biagko ken pagleppasan dagiti aldawko. Ipakitam kaniak no kasano kaababa ti panagtalinaedko.

“Yahweh, show/tell me how long I will live. Tell me when I will die. Tell me how many years I will live!

5 Kitaem, inaramidmo a kasla laeng kaakaba dagiti imak dagiti aldawko, ket kasla awan aniaman iti sangoanam ti kapaut ti panagbiagko. Pudno, tunggal tao ket maymaysa laeng nga anges. (Selah)

[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.

6 Pudno a tunggal tao magmagna a kasla anniniwan. Awan duadua a tunggal maysa agdardaras nga agurnong iti kinabaknang uray no dida ammo no siasino ti mangawat kadakuada.

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].

7 Ita, O Apo, ta ania ti ur-urayek? Sika ti kakaisuna a namnamak.

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].

8 Pagballigiennak kadagiti amin a basbasolko: saannak nga aramiden a paga-angawan dagiti maag.

Save me from [being punished for] all the sins that I have committed. And do not allow foolish people to make fun of me.

9 Naulimekak ken saanmo a lukatan ti ngiwatko gapu iti inaramidmo.

I did not say anything [when you punished me], because [I knew that] you were the one who caused [me to suffer].

10 Isardengmo ti mangsugsugat kaniak; nalapunosak iti danog dagiti imam.

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.

11 No disiplinaam dagiti tattao para iti basol, in-inut nga ibusem dagiti pigsada a kasla iti bu-ot. Pudno nga amin dagiti tattao ket alingasaw laeng. (Selah)

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.

12 Ipangagmo ti kararagko, O Yahweh, ken denggennak; denggem ti sangsangitko! Saanka nga agbalin a tuleng kaniak, ta kaslaak gan-gannaet kenka, a kasla maysa a tao a naglibas a kas kadagiti amin a kapuonak.

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.

13 Ibaw-ingmo ti natadem a panagkitam kaniak tapno makaisemak manen sakbay a matayak.

[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]”
