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.

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

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

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

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

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

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)

[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 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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 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 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 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.

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

[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]”
