Dagiti Salmo 39

1 Inkeddengko, “Annadak ti ibagak tapno saanak nga agbasol babaen iti dilak. Busalak ti ngiwatko kabayatan nga addaak iti imatang ti dakes a tao.”

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 Nagtalinaedak a naulimek; linapdak dagiti sasaok uray pay iti panangibagak kadagiti aniaman a nasayaat a banbanag, ket kimmarkaro ti sakitko.

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

3 Bimmara ti pusok; idi napanunotko dagitoy a banbanag, simged daytoy a kasla apuy. Ket kamaudiananna, nagsaoak.

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

4 O Yahweh, ipakaammom kaniak no kaano ti pagpatinggaan ti biagko ken pagleppasan dagiti aldawko. Ipakitam kaniak no kasano kaababa ti panagtalinaedko.

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

5 Kitaem, inaramidmo a kasla laeng kaakaba dagiti imak dagiti aldawko, ket kasla awan aniaman iti sangoanam ti kapaut ti panagbiagko. Pudno, tunggal tao ket maymaysa laeng nga anges. (Selah)

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 Pudno a tunggal tao magmagna a kasla anniniwan. Awan duadua a tunggal maysa agdardaras nga agurnong iti kinabaknang uray no dida ammo no siasino ti mangawat kadakuada.

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

7 Ita, O Apo, ta ania ti ur-urayek? Sika ti kakaisuna a namnamak.

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

8 Pagballigiennak kadagiti amin a basbasolko: saannak nga aramiden a paga-angawan dagiti maag.

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

9 Naulimekak ken saanmo a lukatan ti ngiwatko gapu iti inaramidmo.

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

10 Isardengmo ti mangsugsugat kaniak; nalapunosak iti danog dagiti imam.

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

11 No disiplinaam dagiti tattao para iti basol, in-inut nga ibusem dagiti pigsada a kasla iti bu-ot. Pudno nga amin dagiti tattao ket alingasaw laeng. (Selah)

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 Ipangagmo ti kararagko, O Yahweh, ken denggennak; denggem ti sangsangitko! Saanka nga agbalin a tuleng kaniak, ta kaslaak gan-gannaet kenka, a kasla maysa a tao a naglibas a kas kadagiti amin a kapuonak.

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 Ibaw-ingmo ti natadem a panagkitam kaniak tapno makaisemak manen sakbay a matayak.

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