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.
Faarfannaa Daawit. Yaadannoodhaaf. Yaa Waaqayyo, aarii keetiin na hin ifatin yookaan dheekkamsa keetiin na hin adabin.
2 For your arrows have gone into my flesh, and I am crushed under the weight of your hand.
Xiyyooliin kee na waraananiiru; harki kees akka malee natti ulfaateera.
3 My flesh is wasted because of your wrath; and there is no peace in my bones because of my sin.
Sababii dheekkamsa keetiitiif dhagni koo fayyaa dhabeera; sababii cubbuu kootiifis lafeen koo nagaa dhabeera.
4 For my crimes have gone over my head; they are like a great weight which is more than my strength.
Cubbuun koo na liqimseeraatii; akkuma baʼaa baatamuu hin dandaʼamne tokkoottis natti ulfaateera.
5 My wounds are poisoned and evil-smelling, because of my foolish behaviour.
Sababii gowwummaa kootiitiif, madaan koo malaa naqate; ni ajaaʼes.
6 I am troubled, I am made low; I go weeping all the day.
Ani gad nan qabame; gadis nan cabe; guyyaa guutuus gaddaan oola.
7 For my body is full of burning; all my flesh is unhealthy.
Dugdi koo na bobaʼa; dhagni koos fayyaa hin qabu.
8 I am feeble and crushed down; I gave a cry like a lion because of the grief in my heart.
Ani laafeera; akka malees bututeera; garaan koo dhiphatee ani aadaan jira.
9 Lord, all my desire is before you; my sorrow is not kept secret from you.
Yaa Gooftaa, hawwiin koo hundinuu fuula kee duratti beekamaa dha; argansuun koo si duraa hin dhokatu.
10 My heart goes out in pain, my strength is wasting away; as for the light of my eyes, it is gone from me.
Lapheen koo ni dhaʼatti; jilbis na laafeera; ifni ija kootiis badeera.
11 My lovers and my friends keep away from my disease; my relations keep far away.
Michoonni koo fi miiltoon koo sababii madaa kootiitiif narraa hiiqan; firoonni koos narraa fagaatanii dhadhaabatu.
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.
Warri lubbuu koo galaafachuu barbaadan kiyyoo naa kaaʼaniiru; warri na miidhuu barbaadanis waaʼee badiisa kootii dubbatu; guyyaa guutuus hammina natti yaadu.
13 But I kept my ears shut like a man without hearing; like a man without a voice, never opening his mouth.
Ani garuu akkuma duudaa dhagaʼuu hin dandeenyee, akkuma arrab-didaa dubbachuu hin dandeenyeetii.
14 So I was like a man whose ears are shut, and in whose mouth there are no sharp words.
Ani akka nama dhagaʼuu hin dandeenyee, akkuma nama afaan isaa deebii kennuu hin dandeenyees taʼeera.
15 In you, O Lord, is my hope: you will give me an answer, O Lord, my God.
Yaa Waaqayyo, ani sin eeggadha; yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa ko, ati deebii naa kennita.
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.
Ani, “Akka diinonni koo natti gammadan yookaan akka isaan yeroo miilli koo mucucaatutti natti of jajan hin eeyyamin” jedheeraatii.
17 My feet are near to falling, and my sorrow is ever before me.
Ani kufuu gaʼeeraatii; dhukkubbiin koos takkumaa na hin dhiifne.
18 I will make clear my wrongdoing, with sorrow in my heart for my sin.
Ani balleessaa koo nan himadha; sababii cubbuu kootiitiifis nan gadda.
19 But they are strong who have hate for me without cause: those who are against me falsely are increased in numbers.
Warri akkasumaan diinota koo taʼan jajjaboo dha; warri sababii malee na jibbanis hedduu dha.
20 They give me back evil for good; they are my haters because I go after the thing which is right.
Warri qooda waan gaarii waan hamaa naa deebisan diinota koo ti; ani waan gaarii duukaa nan buʼaatii.
21 Do not give me up, O Lord; O my God, be near to me.
Yaa Waaqayyo, ati na hin gatin; yaa Waaqa ko, narraa hin fagaatin.
22 Come quickly to give me help, O Lord, my salvation.
Yaa Gooftaa, yaa fayyisaa ko, na gargaaruudhaaf ariifadhu!
