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!
Saamu Dafidi. Ẹ̀bẹ̀. Olúwa, má ṣe bá mi wí nínú ìbínú rẹ, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kí o má ṣe fi ìyà jẹ mí nínú ìrunú rẹ̀.
2 Your arrows have pierced me deeply, your hand has come down hard on me.
Nítorí tí ọfà rẹ kàn mọ́ mi ṣinṣin, ọwọ́ rẹ sì kì mí mọ́lẹ̀.
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.
Kò sí ibi yíyè ní ara à mi, nítorí ìbínú rẹ; kò sí àlàáfíà nínú egungun mi nítorí i ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ mi.
4 I'm drowning in guilt—the burden is too heavy to bear.
Nítorí àìṣedéédéé mi ti borí mi mọ́lẹ̀; wọ́n tó ìwọ̀n bi àjàgà tí ó wúwo jù fún mi.
5 My wounds are infected—they're smelling—all because of my stupidity.
Ọgbẹ́ mi ń rùn ó sì díbàjẹ́ nítorí òmùgọ̀ mi.
6 I am bent over, doubled up in pain. The whole day I walk around crying my eyes out.
Èmi ń jòwèrè, orí mi tẹ̀ ba gidigidi èmi ń ṣọ̀fọ̀ rìn kiri ní gbogbo ọjọ́.
7 Inside I'm burning up with fever; no part of my body is healthy.
Nítorí ẹ̀gbẹ́ mi kún fún ìgbóná tí ń jóni kò sì ṣí ibi yíyè ní ara mi.
8 I'm worn out, totally down. I groan because of the anguish I feel in my heart.
Ara mi hù, a sì wó mi jẹ́gẹjẹ̀gẹ; mo kérora nítorí ìrúkèrúdò àyà mi.
9 Lord, you know what I desperately want, you hear every sigh I make.
Olúwa, gbogbo ìfẹ́ mi ń bẹ níwájú rẹ; ìmí ẹ̀dùn mi kò sá pamọ́ fún ọ.
10 My heart is racing, leaving me with no strength; my eyesight is failing.
Àyà mi ń mí hẹlẹ, agbára mi yẹ̀ mí sílẹ̀; bí ó ṣe ti ìmọ́lẹ̀ ojú mi ni, ó ti lọ kúrò lára mi.
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.
Àwọn ọ̀rẹ́ mi àti àwọn ẹlẹgbẹ́ mi dúró lókèèrè réré kúrò níbi ìpọ́njú mi, àwọn alábágbé mi, dúró lókèèrè.
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.
Àwọn tí n wá ẹ̀mí mi dẹ okùn sílẹ̀ fún mi; àti àwọn tí ó fẹ́ pa mí lára ń sọ̀rọ̀ nípa ìparun, wọ́n sì ń gbèrò ẹ̀tàn ní gbogbo ọjọ́.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n mo dàbí adití odi, èmi kò gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀; àti bí odi, tí kò le sọ̀rọ̀.
14 Like a man who can't hear, and who doesn't reply—that's me!
Nítòótọ́, mo rí bí ọkùnrin tí kò gbọ́rọ̀, àti bí ẹnu ẹni tí kò sí ìjiyàn.
15 For I'm waiting on you, Lord! You will answer for me, my Lord and my God.
Ṣùgbọ́n sí ọ Olúwa, ìwọ ni mo dúró dè; ìwọ ni, Olúwa Ọlọ́run mi, ẹni tí yóò dáhùn.
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.
Nítorí tí mo gbàdúrà, “Gbóhùn mi, kí wọn má ba à yọ̀ mí; nígbà tí ẹsẹ̀ mi bá yọ̀ wọn yóò máa gbé ara wọn ga sí mi.”
17 For I'm about ready to collapse—the pain never stops.
Nítorí tí mo ti ṣetán láti ṣubú, ìrora mi sì wà pẹ̀lú mi nígbà gbogbo.
18 I do confess my sins; I am terribly sorry for what I've done.
Mo jẹ́wọ́ ìrékọjá mi; àánú sì ṣe mí fún ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ mi.
19 I have many powerful enemies—they are very active, hating me for no reason.
Àwọn tí ó jẹ́ ọ̀tá mi láìnídìí pàtàkì, wọ́n lágbára púpọ̀, ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ni àwọn tí ó kórìíra mi lọ́nà òdì.
20 They pay me back evil for good; they accuse me for the good I try to do.
Àwọn tí wọn ń fi ibi san rere fún mi àwọn ni ọ̀tá mi nítorí pé mò ń tọ ìre lẹ́yìn.
21 Don't give up on me, my Lord and my God, don't stay away from me.
Má ṣe kọ̀ mí sílẹ̀, ìwọ Olúwa! Ọlọ́run mi, má ṣe jìnnà sí mi.
22 Hurry, come and help me, Lord my salvation.
Yára láti ràn mí lọ́wọ́, Olúwa, Olùgbàlà mi.
