Psalms 39
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
1(39-1) For the Leader, for Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. (39-2) I said: 'I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue; I will keep a curb upon my mouth, while the wicked is before me.'
1N ai kan, pwe i ender wia dip ki lo i. I pan jali pena au ai arain en me japun o mi re i.
2(39-3) I was dumb with silence; I held my peace, had no comfort; and my pain was held in check.
2I kadukiedier ai lokaia o nenenlar o jolar inda duen peren a ai kalokolok lalaudalar.
3(39-4) My heart waxed hot within me; while I was musing, the fire kindled; then spoke I with my tongue:
3Mo n io n i karakaradar nan kapedi, o ma i pan tamanda mepukat, a rajo n kijiniai lulada; i ap lokaia kida lo i.
4(39-5) 'LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; let me know how short-lived I am.
4Mai n , kotin padaki o n ia, me maur i pan imwijokela, o imwi pan ai ran akan, me i pan jamoer.
5(39-6) Behold, Thou hast made my days as hand-breadths; and mine age is as nothing before Thee; surely every man at his best estate is altogether vanity. Selah
5Ma n i, ai ran akan dueta talap en pa en aramaj re omui; o maur i likamata jota meakot mo ’mui. Melel aramaj, me kin keleki pein i, kin dueta adiniai.
6(39-7) Surely man walketh as a mere semblance; surely for vanity they are in turmoil; he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them.
6Re kin alialu jili rajo n mota, re kin katoutouki pein irail dodok mal. Re kin nanak pena ap jaja, ij me pan naineki.
7(39-8) And now, Lord, what wait I for? My hope, it is in Thee.
7Ari Mai n , ij me i en auiaui? I kaporoporeki komui.
8(39-9) Deliver me from all my transgressions; make me not the reproach of the base.
8Dore ia la ja n dip ai karoj, o kom der mueid o n , me pweipwei kan en kaurur kin ia.
9(39-10) I am dumb, I open not my mouth; because Thou hast done it.
9I pan nenenla o jota jar paja n au ai, pwe kom kotin wiadar.
10(39-11) Remove Thy stroke from off me; I am consumed by the blow of Thy hand.
10Kotin katukiedi omui kaloko ia; pwe n ai dupok kilar ai kalokolok pan lim omui.
11(39-12) With rebukes dost Thou chasten man for iniquity, and like a moth Thou makest his beauty to consume away; surely every man is vanity. Selah
11Ma kom pan kaloke amen pweki dip a, mom a kajelel ap pan juedala likamada man en mot ka n ala. O meid mal aramaj karoj!
12(39-13) Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear unto my cry; keep not silence at my tears; for I am a stranger with Thee, a sojourner, as all my fathers were.
12Mai n kom kotin ereki ni kapakap, o ma n i ai likwir, o der japaimokid ni ai ja n eja n , pwe n ai japwilim omui men kairu o pweledan omui wei men dueta jam ai kan karoj.
13(39-14) Look away from me, that I may take comfort, before I go hence, and be no more.'
13Kom kotin muei ja n ia, pwe i en kelailada, mon ai pan kokowei o jolar mia.
