Sabuurradii 39

1 Waxaan idhi, Jidadkaygaan iska jiri doonaa, Si aanan carrabkayga ugu dembaabin, Oo afkayga waxaan ku qaban doonaa xakame inta kii shar lahu i hor joogo.

For Jeduthun, the music director. A psalm of David. I told myself, “I will be careful in what I do, and not sin in what I say. I will keep my mouth shut when the wicked are around.”

2 Waan carrab beelay oo shib baan iska idhi, oo waan ka aamusay xataa wixii wanaagsanaa, Tiiraanyadaydiina waa kacday.

So I was completely silent—I didn't even say anything good. But the pain inside only got worse.

3 Qalbigaygu uurkayguu ku kululaaday, Oo intii aan fikirayay ayaa dabkii shidmay, Markaasaan carrabkaygii ku hadlay, oo idhi,

My mind burned as if on fire; I had to say what I was thinking:

4 Rabbiyow, i ogaysii ugu dambaystayda Iyo cimrigayga dhererkiisu intuu yahay, Oo i ogaysii inta tabardarradaydu tahay.

Lord, remind me. How short is my life? How long do I have? Remind me how quickly my life will pass.

5 Bal eeg, maalmahayga waxaad ka dhigtay calaacal ballaadhkeed Oo cimrigayguna hortaada waxba kuma aha, Hubaal nin kastaba marka xaalkiisu ugu wanaagsan yahay dhammaantiis waa bilaash. (Selaah)

Just look at the tiny amount of days you have given me! In your eyes my whole lifetime is like nothing. Our lives here are just a breath… (Selah)

6 Hubaal nin kastaaba wuxuu ku socdaa hawo been ah, Hubaal waxay ku rabshaysan yihiin hawo been ah, Isagu maal buu tuulaa, mana uu yaqaan kii urursan doona.

Human beings are just shadows walking around. They pointlessly rush through life, trying to pile up possessions without knowing who will get them.

7 Haddaba Sayidow, bal maxaan sugaa? Waayo, rajadaydu adigay kugu xidhan tahay.

So Lord, what am I looking for? I put my hope in you.

8 Xadgudubyadayda oo dhan iga samatabbixi, Oo ha iga dhigin mid nacasyadu caayaan.

Save me from my rebellion. Don't let me be mocked by fools.

9 Anigu waan carrab la'aa, oo afkaygana ma aan kala qaadin, Maxaa yeelay, sidaasaad yeeshay.

I will stay quiet, I won't say a word, for it's you who has done this to me.

10 Haddaba belaayadaada iga durki, Maxaa yeelay, waxaa i baabbi'iyey weerarka gacantaada.

Please stop hitting me! Your beating has worn me out!

11 Markaad dadka canaanta ku edbisid xumaanta daraaddeed, Waxaad quruxdiisa ka dhigtaa inay u baabba'do sidii balanbaallis oo kale, Hubaal nin kastaaba waa bilaash. (Selaah)

When you discipline us, reprimanding us for our sins, it's like a moth eating up what is precious to us. All of us are just a breath… (Selah)

12 Rabbiyow, baryadayda maqal, oo qayladaydana dhegta u dhig, Oo ilmadaydana ha iskaga aamusin, Waayo, waxaan ahay qariib kula jooga Oo masaafir ah, sidii awowayaashay oo dhammu ay ahaan jireen.

Please hear my prayer, Lord! Listen to my cry for help! Don't be deaf to my weeping. Please treat me as your guest, passing through, just like my forefathers.

13 Ii tudh, itaalkaygu mar ha igu soo noqdee, Intaanan meesha tegin oo aanan mar dambe ka soo noqonayn.

Please leave me alone so I can be cheerful again, before I am dead and gone.
