Psalms 38
1 A Psalme of Dauid for remembrance. O Lord, rebuke mee not in thine anger, neither chastise me in thy wrath.
Thaburi ya Daudi Wee Jehova, ndũkandũithie ũrĩ na marakara, kana ũũherithie ũrĩ na mangʼũrĩ.
2 For thine arrowes haue light vpon me, and thine hand lyeth vpon me.
Nĩgũkorwo mĩguĩ yaku nĩĩtheceete, na guoko gwaku nĩ kũũhũrĩte mũno.
3 There is nothing sound in my flesh, because of thine anger: neither is there rest in my bones because of my sinne.
Ndirĩ na ũgima wa mwĩrĩ tondũ wa mangʼũrĩ maku; mahĩndĩ makwa nĩmarũaru nĩ ũndũ wa mehia makwa.
4 For mine iniquities are gone ouer mine head, and as a weightie burden they are too heauie for me.
Mahĩtia makwa nĩmanditũhĩire mũno o ta mũrigo mũritũ itangĩhota gũkuua.
5 My woundes are putrified, and corrupt because of my foolishnes.
Ironda ciakwa nĩitogotete na ikanunga nĩ tondũ wa ũrimũ wakwa wa mehia.
6 I am bowed, and crooked very sore: I goe mourning all the day.
Thiiaga ndĩĩhacĩte, ngakungĩrĩra mũno, mũthenya wothe ndindaga ngĩcakaya.
7 For my reines are full of burning, and there is nothing sound in my flesh.
Mũgongo wakwa ũiyũrĩtwo nĩ ruo ta rwa mwaki; ndirĩ na ũgima wa mwĩrĩ.
8 I am weakened and sore broken: I roare for the very griefe of mine heart.
Ndĩ mũmocu na ngathuthĩka biũ; ndĩracaaya nĩ ruo rwa ngoro.
9 Lord, I powre my whole desire before thee, and my sighing is not hid from thee.
Wee Mwathani, wendi wakwa wothe ũrĩ o mbere yaku; gũcaaya gwakwa ti kũhitharu harĩwe.
10 Mine heart panteth: my strength faileth me, and the light of mine eyes, euen they are not mine owne.
Ngoro yakwa nĩĩratuuma mũno, naguo hinya wakwa nĩgũthira ũrathira; o na ũtheri nĩumĩte maitho-inĩ makwa.
11 My louers and my friends stand aside from my plague, and my kinsmen stand a farre off.
Arata na athiritũ akwa matiendaga kũnguhĩrĩria nĩ ũndũ wa ironda ciakwa; o na andũ a itũũra rĩakwa manjikaraga haraihu.
12 They also, that seeke after my life, laye snares, and they that go about to do me euil, talke wicked things and imagine deceite continually.
Andũ arĩa mendaga kũnjũraga nĩ mĩtego mandegagĩra, arĩa mendaga kũnjĩka ũũru maaragia ũrĩa mangĩnyũnũha; mũthenya wothe mathugundaga o maheeni.
13 But I as a deafe man heard not, and am as a dumme man, which openeth not his mouth.
Niĩ haana ta mũndũ gĩtaigua, ũrĩa ũtaiguaga, ngahaana ta mũndũ ũtaaragia, ũrĩa ũtangĩtumũra kanua gake;
14 Thus am I as a man, that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofes.
nduĩkĩte ta mũndũ ũtaiguaga, ũrĩa kanua gake gatarĩ ũndũ kangĩhota gũcookia.
15 For on thee, O Lord, do I waite: thou wilt heare me, my Lord, my God.
Wee Jehova, Wee nĩwe njetagĩrĩra; Wee Mwathani Ngai wakwa, Wee nĩwe ũkũnjookeria ũhoro.
16 For I said, Heare me, least they reioyce ouer me: for when my foote slippeth, they extol themselues against me.
Nĩgũkorwo ndoigire atĩrĩ, “Ndũkanareke thũ ciakwa ingenerere, o na kana ciĩtũũgĩrie igũrũ rĩakwa rĩrĩa kũgũrũ gwakwa gwatenderũka.”
17 Surely I am ready to halte, and my sorow is euer before me.
Nĩgũkorwo ngirie kũgũa, na njikaraga ndĩ na ruo hĩndĩ ciothe.
18 When I declare my paine, and am sory for my sinne,
Nĩngumbũra waganu wakwa; nĩthĩĩnĩtio nĩ mehia makwa.
19 Then mine enemies are aliue and are mightie, and they that hate me wrongfully are many.
Thũ ciakwa iria irĩ kĩyo nĩcio nyingĩ; arĩa maathũire hatarĩ gĩtũmi nĩ aingĩ.
20 They also, that rewarde euill for good, are mine aduersaries, because I follow goodnesse.
Andũ arĩa mandĩhaga wega wakwa na ũũru manjambagia rĩrĩa niĩ ngũthingata ũndũ ũrĩa mwega.
21 Forsake me not, O Lord: be not thou farre from me, my God.
Wee Jehova, ndũkandiganĩrie; Wee Ngai wakwa, ndũgaikare haraihu na niĩ.
22 Haste thee to helpe mee, O my Lord, my saluation.
Ũka narua ũndeithie, Wee Mwathani, Mũhonokia wakwa.
