1 I said, I will take heed and guard my ways, that I may sin not with my tongue; I will muzzle my mouth as with a bridle while the wicked are before me.

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.

2 I was dumb with silence, I held my peace without profit and had no comfort away from good, while my distress was renewed.

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

3 M y heart was hot within me. While I was musing, the fire burned; then I spoke with my tongue:

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

4 L ord, make me to know my end and the measure of my days—what it is; let me know and realize how frail I am.

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

5 B ehold, You have made my days as handbreadths, and my lifetime is as nothing in Your sight. Truly every man at his best is merely a breath! Selah!

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)

6 S urely every man walks to and fro—like a shadow in a pantomime; surely for futility and emptiness he is in turmoil; each one heaps up riches, not knowing who will gather them.

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.

7 A nd now, Lord, what do I wait for and expect? My hope and expectation are in You.

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

8 D eliver me from all my transgressions; make me not the scorn and reproach of the fool!

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

9 I am dumb, I open not my mouth, for it is You Who has done it.

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

10 R emove Your stroke away from me; I am consumed by the conflict and the blow of Your hand.

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

11 W hen with rebukes You correct and chasten man for sin, You waste his beauty like a moth and what is dear to him consumes away; surely every man is a mere breath. Selah!

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)

12 H ear my prayer, O Lord, and give ear to my cry; hold not Your peace at my tears! For I am Your passing guest, a temporary resident, as all my fathers were.

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.

13 O look away from me and spare me, that I may recover cheerfulness and encouraging strength and know gladness before I go and am no more!

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