Bybel in Afrikaans (1983-vertaling)

Kyk, U het bepaal dat my dae min sal wees, in u oë is my lewensduur byna niks. Ag, alle mense is maar verganklik.

Psalm 39:6

Die mens, uit 'n vrou gebore, se lewe is kort en vol onrus.

Job 14:1

Psalm 39 (Bybel in Afrikaans (1983-vertaling))

3 Ek was stom en sprakeloos, ek het geswyg, nie gepraat nie, maar my smart het al hoe groter geword.
4 Daar was 'n brandpyn in my, my smart het 'n vuur in my geword. Toe móés ek praat.
5 Maak tog aan my bekend wanneer my einde sal wees, Here, en hoeveel dae daar vir my oor is, sodat ek sal weet wanneer my lewe verby is.
6 Kyk, U het bepaal dat my dae min sal wees, in u oë is my lewensduur byna niks. Ag, alle mense is maar verganklik. Sela
7 Die mens leef soos in 'n droom en hy sloof hom af vir niks. Hy gaar op, maar weet nie wie dit sal kry nie.

Job 14 (Bybel in Afrikaans (1983-vertaling))

1 "Die mens, uit 'n vrou gebore, se lewe is kort en vol onrus.
2 Hy is soos 'n blom wat oopgaan en dan verlep, 'n skaduwee wat verbygaan en nie stilstaan nie.
3 Dit is so 'n mens vir wie U in die oog hou, vir wie U in 'n regsgeding met U wil betrek.
4 Wie kan rein uit onrein laat voortkom? Niemand nie!

Behold, you have made my days a few handbreadths, and my lifetime is as nothing before you. Surely all mankind stands as a mere breath!

Psalm 39:5

Man who is born of a woman is few of days and full of trouble.

Job 14:1

Psalm 39 (English Standard Version)

2 I was mute and silent;
I held my peace to no avail,
and my distress grew worse.
3 My heart became hot within me.
As I mused, the fire burned;
then I spoke with my tongue:
4 “O Lord, make me know my end
and what is the measure of my days;

5 Behold, you have made my days a few handbreadths,
and my lifetime is as nothing before you.
Surely all mankind stands as a mere breath!
6 Surely a man goes about as a shadow!
Surely for nothing they are in turmoil;
man heaps up wealth and does not know who will gather!
7 “And now, O Lord, for what do I wait?
My hope is in you.
8 Deliver me from all my transgressions.
Do not make me the scorn of the fool!

1 “Man who is born of a woman
is few of days and full of trouble.
2 He comes out like a flower and withers;
he flees like a shadow and continues not.
3 And do you open your eyes on such a one
and bring me into judgment with you?
4 Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean?
There is not one.
