Psalms 38
1 A psalm of David, for a memorial. Lord, please don't condemn me because you're angry with me; don't punish me because you're furious with me!
Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Chikumbiro. Haiwa Jehovha, musandirayira mukutsamwa kwenyu kana kundiranga muhasha dzenyu.
2 Your arrows have pierced me deeply, your hand has come down hard on me.
Nokuti miseve yenyu yandibaya, uye ruoko rwenyu rwawira pamusoro pangu.
3 Because you're so upset with me, not a single part of my body is healthy; I am completely sick because of my sins.
Mumuviri mangu hamuchina utano nokuda kwehasha dzenyu; mapfupa angu apera simba nokuda kwechivi changu.
4 I'm drowning in guilt—the burden is too heavy to bear.
Mhosva yangu yandiremera somutoro unorema kwazvo kuutakura.
5 My wounds are infected—they're smelling—all because of my stupidity.
Maronda angu aora uye anosemesa nokuda kwoupenzi hwokutadza kwangu.
6 I am bent over, doubled up in pain. The whole day I walk around crying my eyes out.
Ndakotamiswa uye ndaderedzwa kwazvo; ndinofamba ndichichema zuva rose.
7 Inside I'm burning up with fever; no part of my body is healthy.
Musana wangu wazara nokupisa kunorwadza; muviri wangu hauchina utano.
8 I'm worn out, totally down. I groan because of the anguish I feel in my heart.
Ndarukutika uye ndapwanyika chose; ndiri kugomera nokurwadza kwomwoyo.
9 Lord, you know what I desperately want, you hear every sigh I make.
Haiwa Ishe, zvose zvandinoshuva zviri pachena pamberi penyu, kugomera kwangu hakuna kuvanzika kwamuri.
10 My heart is racing, leaving me with no strength; my eyesight is failing.
Hana yangu inorova, simba rangu rapera; kunyange nechiedza chabva pameso angu.
11 My loved ones and my friends don't come near me because they're afraid of what I've got. Even my family keeps me at a distance.
Shamwari dzangu navafambidzani vondinzvenga nokuda kwamaronda angu; vavakidzani vangu vanogara kure neni.
12 Those who are trying to kill me set traps for me; those who want to hurt me make threats against me, working on their deceitful schemes all day long.
Avo vanotsvaka kundiuraya vanonditeya nemisungo yavo, avo vanoda kundikuvadza vanotaura nezvokuparadzwa kwangu; zuva rose vanorangana zvounyengeri.
13 I act as if I'm deaf to what they're saying, and pretend to be dumb so I don't have to speak.
Ini ndafanana nematsi, isinganzwi, sembeveve, isingagoni kushamisa muromo wayo;
14 Like a man who can't hear, and who doesn't reply—that's me!
ndava somunhu asinganzwi, ano muromo usingapinduri.
15 For I'm waiting on you, Lord! You will answer for me, my Lord and my God.
Haiwa Jehovha, ndakakumirirai; muchapindura, imi Ishe Mwari wangu.
16 I'm asking you, Lord, please don't let my enemies gloat over me, don't let them be glad when I trip up.
Nokuti ndakati, “Musavarega vachifarira kutambudzika kwangu kana kuzvisimudzira pamusoro pangu, rutsoka rwangu parunotedzemuka.”
17 For I'm about ready to collapse—the pain never stops.
Nokuti ndava pedyo nokuwa, uye kurwadziwa kwangu kunogara neni.
18 I do confess my sins; I am terribly sorry for what I've done.
Ndinoreurura chivi changu; chivi changu chinonditambudza.
19 I have many powerful enemies—they are very active, hating me for no reason.
Vavengi vangu vane simba vazhinji; vanondivenga ndisina mhosva vakawanda.
20 They pay me back evil for good; they accuse me for the good I try to do.
Ivavo vanotsiva zvakanaka zvangu nezvakaipa, vanondireva pandinotevera zvakanaka.
21 Don't give up on me, my Lord and my God, don't stay away from me.
Haiwa Jehovha, regai kundisiya; regai kuva kure neni, imi Mwari wangu.
22 Hurry, come and help me, Lord my salvation.
Haiwa Ishe Muponesi wangu, kurumidzai kuuya kuzondibatsira.
