Псалтирь 39

1 В конец, Идифуму, песнь Давиду. Рех: сохраню пути моя, еже не согрешати ми языком моим: положих устом моим хранило, внегда востати грешному предо мною.

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 Онемех и смирихся, и умолчах от благ, и болезнь моя обновися.

[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 Согреяся сердце мое во мне, и в поучении моем разгорится огнь: глаголах языком моим:

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

4 скажи ми, Господи, кончину мою и число дний моих, кое есть, да разумею, что лишаюся аз.

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

5 Се, пяди положил еси дни моя, и состав мой яко ничтоже пред Тобою: обаче всяческая суета всяк человек живый.

[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 Убо образом ходит человек, обаче всуе мятется: сокровищствует, и не весть, кому соберет я.

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 И ныне кто терпение мое? Не Господь ли? И состав мой от Тебе есть.

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 От всех беззаконий моих избави мя: поношение безумному дал мя еси.

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 Онемех и не отверзох уст моих, яко Ты сотворил еси.

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

10 Отстави от мене раны Твоя: от крепости бо руки Твоея аз изчезох.

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 Во обличениих о беззаконии наказал еси человека, и истаял еси яко паучину душу его: обаче всуе всяк человек.

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 Услыши молитву мою, Господи, и моление мое внуши, слез моих не премолчи: яко преселник аз есмь у Тебе и пришлец, якоже вси отцы мои.

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 Ослаби ми, да почию, прежде даже не отиду, и ктому не буду.

[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]”
