Psalm 39
1 NGAI inda: I pan kanai ong al ai kan, pwe i ender wia dip ki lo i. I pan sali pena au ai arain en me sapung o mi re i.
To the chief Musician, [even] 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 bridle, while the wicked is before me.
2 I kadukiedier ai lokaia o nenenlar o solar inda duen peren, a ai kalokolok lalaudalar.
I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, [even] from good; and my sorrow was stirred.
3 Mongiong i karakaradar nan kapedi, o ma i pan tamanda mepukat, a rasong kisiniai lulada; i ap lokaia kida lo i.
My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned: [then] I spoke with my tongue.
4 Maing, kotin padaki ong ia, me maur i pan imwisokela, o imwi pan ai ran akan, me i pan samoer.
LORD, make me to know my end, and the measure of my days, what it [is]; [that] I may know how frail I [am].
5 Mangi, ai ran akan dueta tälap en pa en aramas re omui; o maur i likamata sota meakot mo’mui. Melel aramas, me kin keleki pein i, kin dueta adiniai. (Sela)
Behold, thou hast made my days [as] a hand-breadth; and my age [is] as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state [is] altogether vanity. (Selah)
6 Re kin alialu sili rasong mota, o re kin katoutouki pein irail dodok mal. Re kin nanak pena ap sasa, is me pan naineki.
Surely every man walketh in a vain show: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up [riches], and knoweth not who shall gather them.
7 Ari Maing, is me i en auiaui? I kaporoporeki komui.
And now, LORD, what wait I for? my hope [is] in thee.
8 Dore ia la sang dip ai karos, o kom der mueid ong, me pweipwei kan en kaurur kin ia.
Deliver me from all my transgressions: make me not the reproach of the foolish.
9 I pan nenenla o sota sar pasang au ai, pwe kom kotin wiadar.
I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because thou didst [it].
10 Kotin katukiedi omui kaloke ia; pwe ngai dupok kilar ai kalokolok pan lim omui.
Remove thy stroke away from me; I am consumed by the blow of thy hand.
11 Ma kom pan kaloke amen pweki dip a, mom a kaselel ap pan suedala likamada man en mot kangala. O meid mal aramas karos! (Sela)
When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity, thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth: surely every man [is] vanity. (Selah)
12 Maing kom kotin ereki ai kapakap, o mangi ai likwir, o der sapaimokid ni ai sangesang, pwe ngai sapwilim omui men kairu o pweledan omui wei men dueta sam ai kan karos.
Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear to my cry; hold not thy peace at my tears: for I [am] a stranger with thee, [and] a sojourner, as all my fathers [were].
13 Kom kotin muei sang ia, pwe i en kelailada, mon ai pan kokowei o solar mia.
O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence, and be no more.
