Psalms 38
1 A Psalm of David, for remembrance. O LORD, do not rebuke me in Your anger or discipline me in Your wrath.
[Psalm lal David] O LEUM GOD, nimet kaiyu in mulat lom!
2 For Your arrows have pierced me deeply, and Your hand has pressed down on me.
Kom kanteyuwi ke pisr nutum, Ac kom puokyuwi.
3 There is no soundness in my body because of Your anger; there is no rest in my bones because of my sin.
Ke sripen kasrkusrak lom, nga muta in keok lulap; Monuk nufon mas ke sripen ma koluk luk.
4 For my iniquities have overwhelmed me; they are a burden too heavy to bear.
Nga walomla in sronot lun ma koluk luk, Su arulana toasr nu sik in us.
5 My wounds are foul and festering because of my sinful folly.
Kinet keik pusrosr ac kulawi Ke sripen ma lalfon nga oru.
6 I am bent and brought low; all day long I go about mourning.
Nga itungyuki ac kuruweni; Nga mwemelil ke len fon.
7 For my loins are full of burning pain, and no soundness remains in my body.
Arulana folla monuk ke mas luk Ac nga apkuran in misa.
8 I am numb and badly crushed; I groan in anguish of heart.
Nga totola ac arulana itungyuki; Insiuk keok na, ac nga sasaola ke ngal luk.
9 O Lord, my every desire is before You; my groaning is not hidden from You.
O Leum, kom etu lah mea nga kena kac; Kom lohng sasao luk nukewa.
10 My heart pounds, my strength fails, and even the light of my eyes has faded.
Insiuk kihmkim, ku luk wanginla, Ac mutuk ohkla.
11 My beloved and friends shun my disease, and my kinsmen stand at a distance.
Mwet kawuk ac mwet tulan luk elos tila tuku apkuran nu yuruk Ke sripen ruf keik; Finne sou luk, elos tila fahsriyu.
12 Those who seek my life lay snares; those who wish me harm speak destruction, plotting deceit all day long.
Elos su suk in uniyuwi elos filiya kwasrip nu sik, Ac elos su kena akngalyeyu elos fahk mu elos ac kunausyula. Elos tiana tui in orek pwapa koluk lainyu.
13 But like a deaf man, I do not hear; and like a mute man, I do not open my mouth.
Nga oana sie mwet sulohngkas — nga tia ku in lohng, Nga oana sie mwet kofla kaskas, na nga tia kaskas.
14 I am like a man who cannot hear, whose mouth offers no reply.
Nga oana mwet se su tia ku in topuk ma uh Ke sripen el tia ku in lohng.
15 I wait for You, O LORD; You will answer, O Lord my God.
Tusruktu nga lulalfongi in kom, O LEUM GOD, Kom, Leum God luk, fah topukyu.
16 For I said, “Let them not gloat over me— those who taunt me when my foot slips.”
Nikmet lela mwet lokoalok luk in engan ke nga sun mwe ongoiya; Nikmet lela elos in tungak ke nga ikori.
17 For I am ready to fall, and my pain is ever with me.
Nga apkuran in ikori, Ac nga waiok pacl e nukewa.
18 Yes, I confess my iniquity; I am troubled by my sin.
Nga fahkak ma koluk luk; Tuh ma inge oru nga arulana fosrnga.
19 Many are my enemies without cause, and many hate me without reason.
Mwet lokoalok luk elos arulana ku in mano; Pukanten mwet srungayu ke wangin sripa.
20 Those who repay my good with evil attack me for pursuing the good.
Elos su folokin ma koluk ke ma wo Elos lainyu mweyen nga srike in oru ma suwohs.
21 Do not forsake me, O LORD; be not far from me, O my God.
Nikmet sisyula, O LEUM GOD; Nikmet fahsr likiyu, God luk.
22 Come quickly to help me, O Lord my Savior.
Kasreyu inge, O Leum su langoeyu!
