Psalms 38
1 A Psalm of David, to make memorial. O LORD, rebuke me not in Thine anger; neither chasten me in Thy wrath.
Zaburi ya Daudi. Maombi. Ee Bwana, usinikemee katika hasira yako, wala kuniadhibu katika ghadhabu yako.
2 For Thine arrows are gone deep into me, and Thy hand is come down upon me.
Kwa kuwa mishale yako imenichoma, na mkono wako umenishukia.
3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of Thine indignation; neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin.
Hakuna afya mwilini mwangu kwa sababu ya ghadhabu yako, mifupa yangu haina uzima kwa sababu ya dhambi zangu.
4 For mine iniquities are gone over my head; as a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.
Maovu yangu yamenifunika kama mzigo usiochukulika.
5 My wounds are noisome, they fester, because of my foolishness.
Majeraha yangu yameoza na yananuka, kwa sababu ya upumbavu wa dhambi zangu.
6 I am bent and bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day.
Nimeinamishwa chini na kushushwa sana, mchana kutwa nazunguka nikiomboleza.
7 For my loins are filled with burning; and there is no soundness in my flesh.
Viuno vyangu vimejaa maumivu yaunguzayo, hakuna afya mwilini mwangu.
8 I am benumbed and sore crushed; I groan by reason of the moaning of my heart.
Nimedhoofika na kupondwa kabisa, nasononeka kwa maumivu makuu ya moyoni.
9 Lord, all my desire is before Thee; and my sighing is not hid from Thee.
Ee Bwana, yote ninayoyaonea shauku yako wazi mbele zako, kutamani kwangu sana hakufichiki mbele zako.
10 My heart fluttereth, my strength faileth me; as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.
Moyo wangu unapigapiga, nguvu zangu zimeniishia; hata macho yangu yametiwa giza.
11 My friends and my companions stand aloof from my plague; and my kinsmen stand afar off.
Rafiki na wenzangu wananikwepa kwa sababu ya majeraha yangu; majirani zangu wanakaa mbali nami.
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.
Wale wanaotafuta uhai wangu wanatega mitego yao, wale ambao wangetaka kunidhuru huongea juu ya maangamizi yangu; hufanya shauri la hila mchana kutwa.
13 But I am as a deaf man, I hear not; and I am as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.
Mimi ni kama mtu kiziwi, asiyeweza kusikia, ni kama bubu, asiyeweza kufungua kinywa chake,
14 Yea, I am become as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no arguments.
nimekuwa kama mtu asiyesikia, ambaye kinywa chake hakiwezi kutoa jibu.
15 For in Thee, O LORD, do I hope; Thou wilt answer, O Lord my God.
Ee Bwana, ninakungojea wewe, Ee Bwana Mungu wangu, utajibu.
16 For I said: 'Lest they rejoice over me; when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.'
Kwa kuwa nilisema, “Usiwaache wafurahie, wala wasijitukuze juu yangu mguu wangu unapoteleza.”
17 For I am ready to halt, and my pain is continually before me.
Kwa maana ninakaribia kuanguka, na maumivu yangu yananiandama siku zote.
18 For I do declare mine iniquity; I am full of care because of my sin.
Naungama uovu wangu, ninataabishwa na dhambi yangu.
19 But mine enemies are strong in health; and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.
Wengi ni wale ambao ni adui zangu hodari, wale wanaonichukia bila sababu ni wengi.
20 They also that repay evil for good are adversaries unto me, because I follow the thing that is good.
Wanaolipa maovu kwa wema wangu hunisingizia ninapofuata lililo jema.
21 Forsake me not, O LORD; O my God, be not far from me.
Ee Bwana, usiniache, usiwe mbali nami, Ee Mungu wangu.
22 Make haste to help me, O LORD, my salvation.
Ee Bwana Mwokozi wangu, uje upesi kunisaidia.
