< Psalms 38 >

1 A Psalm of David, to make memorial. O LORD, rebuke me not in Thine anger; neither chasten me in Thy wrath.
مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ لِلتَّذْكِيرِ يَارَبُّ، لَا تُوَبِّخْنِي بِسَخَطِكَ، وَلَا تُؤَدِّبْنِي بِغَيْظِكَ،١
2 For Thine arrows are gone deep into me, and Thy hand is come down upon me.
لِأَنَّ سِهَامَكَ قَدِ ٱنْتَشَبَتْ فِيَّ، وَنَزَلَتْ عَلَيَّ يَدُكَ.٢
3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of Thine indignation; neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin.
لَيْسَتْ فِي جَسَدِي صِحَّةٌ مِنْ جِهَةِ غَضَبِكَ. لَيْسَتْ فِي عِظَامِي سَلَامَةٌ مِنْ جِهَةِ خَطِيَّتِي.٣
4 For mine iniquities are gone over my head; as a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.
لِأَنَّ آثَامِي قَدْ طَمَتْ فَوْقَ رَأْسِي. كَحِمْلٍ ثَقِيلٍ أَثْقَلَ مِمَّا أَحْتَمِلُ.٤
5 My wounds are noisome, they fester, because of my foolishness.
قَدْ أَنْتَنَتْ، قَاحَتْ حُبُرُ ضَرْبِي مِنْ جِهَةِ حَمَاقَتِي.٥
6 I am bent and bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day.
لَوِيتُ. ٱنْحَنَيْتُ إِلَى ٱلْغَايَةِ. ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ ذَهَبْتُ حَزِينًا.٦
7 For my loins are filled with burning; and there is no soundness in my flesh.
لِأَنَّ خَاصِرَتَيَّ قَدِ ٱمْتَلَأَتَا ٱحْتِرَاقًا، وَلَيْسَتْ فِي جَسَدِي صِحَّةٌ.٧
8 I am benumbed and sore crushed; I groan by reason of the moaning of my heart.
خَدِرْتُ وَٱنْسَحَقْتُ إِلَى ٱلْغَايَةِ. كُنْتُ أَئِنُّ مِنْ زَفِيرِ قَلْبِي.٨
9 Lord, all my desire is before Thee; and my sighing is not hid from Thee.
يَارَبُّ، أَمَامَكَ كُلُّ تَأَوُّهِي، وَتَنَهُّدِي لَيْسَ بِمَسْتُورٍ عَنْكَ.٩
10 My heart fluttereth, my strength faileth me; as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.
قَلْبِي خَافِقٌ. قُوَّتِي فَارَقَتْنِي، وَنُورُ عَيْنِي أَيْضًا لَيْسَ مَعِي.١٠
11 My friends and my companions stand aloof from my plague; and my kinsmen stand afar off.
أَحِبَّائِي وَأَصْحَابِي يَقِفُونَ تُجَاهَ ضَرْبَتِي، وَأَقَارِبِي وَقَفُوا بَعِيدًا.١١
12 They also that seek after my life lay snares for me; and they that seek my hurt speak crafty devices, and utter deceits all the day.
وَطَالِبُو نَفْسِي نَصَبُوا شَرَكًا، وَٱلْمُلْتَمِسُونَ لِيَ ٱلشَّرَّ تَكَلَّمُوا بِٱلْمَفَاسِدِ، وَٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ يَلْهَجُونَ بِٱلْغِشِّ.١٢
13 But I am as a deaf man, I hear not; and I am as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.
وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَكَأَصَمَّ لَا أَسْمَعُ. وَكَأَبْكَمَ لَا يَفْتَحُ فَاهُ.١٣
14 Yea, I am become as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no arguments.
وَأَكُونُ مِثْلَ إِنْسَانٍلَا يَسْمَعُ، وَلَيْسَ فِي فَمِهِ حُجَّةٌ.١٤
15 For in Thee, O LORD, do I hope; Thou wilt answer, O Lord my God.
لِأَنِّي لَكَ يَارَبُّ صَبَرْتُ، أَنْتَ تَسْتَجِيبُ يَارَبُّ إِلَهِي.١٥
16 For I said: 'Lest they rejoice over me; when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.'
لِأَنِّي قُلْتُ: «لِئَلَّا يَشْمَتُوا بِي». عِنْدَمَا زَلَّتْ قَدَمِي تَعَظَّمُوا عَلَيَّ.١٦
17 For I am ready to halt, and my pain is continually before me.
لِأَنِّي مُوشِكٌ أَنْ أَظْلَعَ، وَوَجَعِي مُقَابِلِي دَائِمًا.١٧
18 For I do declare mine iniquity; I am full of care because of my sin.
لِأَنَّنِي أُخْبِرُ بِإِثْمِي، وَأَغْتَمُّ مِنْ خَطِيَّتِي.١٨
19 But mine enemies are strong in health; and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.
وَأَمَّا أَعْدَائِي فَأَحْيَاءٌ. عَظُمُوا. وَٱلَّذِينَ يُبْغِضُونَنِي ظُلْمًا كَثُرُوا.١٩
20 They also that repay evil for good are adversaries unto me, because I follow the thing that is good.
وَٱلْمُجَازُونَ عَنِ ٱلْخَيْرِ بِشَرٍّ، يُقَاوِمُونَنِي لِأَجْلِ ٱتِّبَاعِي ٱلصَّلَاحَ.٢٠
21 Forsake me not, O LORD; O my God, be not far from me.
لَا تَتْرُكْنِي يَارَبُّ. يَاإِلَهِي، لَا تَبْعُدْ عَنِّي.٢١
22 Make haste to help me, O LORD, my salvation.
أَسْرِعْ إِلَى مَعُونَتِي يَارَبُّ يَا خَلَاصِي.٢٢
