Psalmi 39
1 Rekel sem: »Pazil bom na svoje poti, da ne bom grešil s svojim jezikom. Ko bo zlobni pred menoj, bom svoja usta držal z uzdo.«
For the leader; for Jeduthun. A psalm of David. I vowed to watch my words, and sin not with my tongue, but to put on my mouth a muzzle, while the wicked were in my presence.
2 Bil sem nem s tišino, molčal sem, celó pred dobrim in moja bridkost je bila razvneta.
I was silent and dumb, speechless: but my pain was stirred up.
3 Moje srce je bilo vroče znotraj mene, medtem ko sem razglabljal, je zagorel ogenj, potem sem spregovoril s svojim jezikom:
My heart grew hot within me; as I mused, the fire was kindled, till at last the words came to my tongue.
4 » Gospod, daj mi spoznati moj konec in mero mojih dni, kolikšna je, da lahko spoznam, kako slaboten sem.
‘Teach me, O Lord, my end, and the sum of my days what it is. Let me know how transient I am.
5 Glej, moje dneve si naredil kakor dlan in moja starost je kakor nič pred teboj. Resnično, vsak človek v svojem najboljšem stanju je povsem ničevost.« (Sela)
See! My days you have made but a span, and my life is as nothing before you. It is but as a breath that everyone stands: (Selah)
6 Zagotovo vsak človek hodi v prazni podobi, zagotovo so zaman vznemirjeni. Kopiči bogastva, pa ne ve, kdo jih bo pobral.
it is but in mere semblance we walk to and fro, and all our noise is for nothing. We heap up, and know not who will gather.’
7 In sedaj, Gospod, kaj [naj] pričakujem? Moje upanje je v tebi.
And now, what wait I for, Lord? My hope is in you.
8 Osvobodi me pred vsemi mojimi prestopki. Ne naredi me [za] grajo nespametnim.
From all my transgressions deliver me; make me not the scorn of the fool.
9 Bil sem nem, svojih ust nisem odprl, ker si ti to storil.
I am dumb, never opening my mouth, for this is your own doing.
10 Umakni svoj udarec proč od mene. Použit sem z zamahom tvoje roke.
Remove your stroke from off me: by the might of your hand I am spent.
11 Kadar za krivičnost z grajanjem korigiraš človeka, storiš, da njegova lepota shira kakor molj. Zagotovo je vsak človek ničevost. (Sela)
When you rebuke someone to punish their sins, you consume, like a moth, what they treasures. Everyone is only a breath. (Selah)
12 Usliši mojo molitev, oh Gospod in pazljivo prisluhni mojemu vpitju; ob mojih solzah ne molči. Kajti jaz sem tujec s teboj in začasni prebivalec, kakor so bili vsi moji očetje.
Hear my prayer, O Lord; attend to my cry for help. Hold not your peace at my tears. For I am but a guest of yours, a stranger visiting, like all my ancestors.
13 Oh prizanesi mi, da lahko obnovim moč, preden grem naprej in ne bom več.
Look away from me, let me smile again, before I die and am gone.
