Psalms 38
1 A Psalm. Of David. To keep in memory. O Lord, be not bitter with me in your wrath; let not your hand be on me in the heat of your passion.
Mazmur Daud waktu mempersembahkan kurban peringatan. TUHAN, jangan menghukum aku dalam kemarahan-Mu, jangan menyiksa aku dalam kemurkaan-Mu.
2 For your arrows have gone into my flesh, and I am crushed under the weight of your hand.
Panah-Mu menembus melukai tubuhku, tangan-Mu terasa berat menekan aku.
3 My flesh is wasted because of your wrath; and there is no peace in my bones because of my sin.
Aku sakit parah karena kemarahan-Mu; tak ada yang sehat pada tubuhku karena dosaku.
4 For my crimes have gone over my head; they are like a great weight which is more than my strength.
Aku tenggelam dalam banjir kesalahanku, beban dosaku terlalu berat bagiku.
5 My wounds are poisoned and evil-smelling, because of my foolish behaviour.
Luka-lukaku bernanah dan berbau busuk, karena aku telah berlaku bodoh.
6 I am troubled, I am made low; I go weeping all the day.
Aku tertunduk dan terbungkuk, sepanjang hari aku murung dan sedih.
7 For my body is full of burning; all my flesh is unhealthy.
Demam membakar tubuhku, tak ada yang sehat pada badanku.
8 I am feeble and crushed down; I gave a cry like a lion because of the grief in my heart.
Aku remuk-redam dan kehabisan tenaga, aku merintih karena hatiku resah.
9 Lord, all my desire is before you; my sorrow is not kept secret from you.
TUHAN, Engkau tahu segala keinginanku, keluh kesahku tidak tersembunyi bagi-Mu.
10 My heart goes out in pain, my strength is wasting away; as for the light of my eyes, it is gone from me.
Jantungku berdebar-debar, tenagaku hilang, mataku sudah menjadi pudar.
11 My lovers and my friends keep away from my disease; my relations keep far away.
Handai-taulanku menghindar karena penyakitku, bahkan kaum kerabatku menjauhi aku.
12 Those who have a desire to take my life put nets for me; those who are designing my destruction say evil things against me, all the day their minds are full of deceit.
Orang yang ingin membunuh aku memasang jerat bagiku; yang ingin mencelakakan aku mengancam hendak menumpas aku.
13 But I kept my ears shut like a man without hearing; like a man without a voice, never opening his mouth.
Tetapi aku seperti orang tuli yang tidak mendengar, seperti orang bisu yang tidak bicara.
14 So I was like a man whose ears are shut, and in whose mouth there are no sharp words.
Sungguh, aku seperti orang yang tidak mendengar, dan karena itu tidak membantah.
15 In you, O Lord, is my hope: you will give me an answer, O Lord, my God.
Tetapi aku berharap kepada-Mu, ya TUHAN, dan Engkau, TUHAN Allahku, menjawab aku.
16 I said, Let them not be glad over me; when my foot is moved, let them not be lifted up with pride against me.
Jangan biarkan musuhku senang melihat kesusahanku, jangan biarkan mereka membual bila aku goyah.
17 My feet are near to falling, and my sorrow is ever before me.
Aku hampir saja jatuh, terus menerus aku kesakitan.
18 I will make clear my wrongdoing, with sorrow in my heart for my sin.
Aku mengakui dosa-dosaku; hatiku cemas memikirkan kesalahanku.
19 But they are strong who have hate for me without cause: those who are against me falsely are increased in numbers.
Orang-orang yang memusuhi aku banyak dan kuat, mereka membenci cara hidupku.
20 They give me back evil for good; they are my haters because I go after the thing which is right.
Orang yang membalas kebaikan dengan kejahatan memusuhi aku karena aku melakukan yang baik.
21 Do not give me up, O Lord; O my God, be near to me.
Ya TUHAN, jangan meninggalkan aku, jangan jauh daripadaku, ya Allahku.
22 Come quickly to give me help, O Lord, my salvation.
Datanglah segera menolong aku, ya TUHAN penyelamatku.
