Psalms 38
1 “A psalm of David, to bring to remembrance.” O Lord, correct me not in thy wrath, nor chastise me in thy fury.
Faarfannaa Daawit. Yaadannoodhaaf. Yaa Waaqayyo, aarii keetiin na hin ifatin yookaan dheekkamsa keetiin na hin adabin.
2 For thy arrows have penetrated into me, and thy hand presseth down upon me.
Xiyyooliin kee na waraananiiru; harki kees akka malee natti ulfaateera.
3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of thy indignation: there is no peace in my bones because of my sin.
Sababii dheekkamsa keetiitiif dhagni koo fayyaa dhabeera; sababii cubbuu kootiifis lafeen koo nagaa dhabeera.
4 For my iniquities are passed over my head, as a heavy burden are they too heavy for me.
Cubbuun koo na liqimseeraatii; akkuma baʼaa baatamuu hin dandaʼamne tokkoottis natti ulfaateera.
5 Foul, corrupt are my bruises because of my folly.
Sababii gowwummaa kootiitiif, madaan koo malaa naqate; ni ajaaʼes.
6 I am bent double; I am bowed down to the utmost; all the day long I go about full of grief.
Ani gad nan qabame; gadis nan cabe; guyyaa guutuus gaddaan oola.
7 For my loins are filled with a burning disease, and there is no soundness in my flesh.
Dugdi koo na bobaʼa; dhagni koos fayyaa hin qabu.
8 I am made faint and crushed to the utmost; I cry aloud because of the groaning of my heart.
Ani laafeera; akka malees bututeera; garaan koo dhiphatee ani aadaan jira.
9 Lord, before thee is all my longing; and my sighing is from thee not hidden.
Yaa Gooftaa, hawwiin koo hundinuu fuula kee duratti beekamaa dha; argansuun koo si duraa hin dhokatu.
10 My heart is restless, my strength hath left me; and the light of my eyes—that also is no more with me.
Lapheen koo ni dhaʼatti; jilbis na laafeera; ifni ija kootiis badeera.
11 My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague; and my kinsmen stand afar off.
Michoonni koo fi miiltoon koo sababii madaa kootiitiif narraa hiiqan; firoonni koos narraa fagaatanii dhadhaabatu.
12 They also that seek after my life lay snares; and they that wish for my mishap speak wicked falsehoods; and deceits do they devise all the day long.
Warri lubbuu koo galaafachuu barbaadan kiyyoo naa kaaʼaniiru; warri na miidhuu barbaadanis waaʼee badiisa kootii dubbatu; guyyaa guutuus hammina natti yaadu.
13 But I, as a deaf man, hear not; and I am as a dumb man that cannot open his mouth.
Ani garuu akkuma duudaa dhagaʼuu hin dandeenyee, akkuma arrab-didaa dubbachuu hin dandeenyeetii.
14 Thus am I as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no words of defence.
Ani akka nama dhagaʼuu hin dandeenyee, akkuma nama afaan isaa deebii kennuu hin dandeenyees taʼeera.
15 For in thee, O Lord, do I hope: thou wilt answer, O Lord my God.
Yaa Waaqayyo, ani sin eeggadha; yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa ko, ati deebii naa kennita.
16 For I said, Perhaps they might rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they might magnify themselves over me.
Ani, “Akka diinonni koo natti gammadan yookaan akka isaan yeroo miilli koo mucucaatutti natti of jajan hin eeyyamin” jedheeraatii.
17 For I am prepared for [my] downfall, and my pain is continually before me.
Ani kufuu gaʼeeraatii; dhukkubbiin koos takkumaa na hin dhiifne.
18 For I will tell of my iniquity; I will be grieved because of my sin.
Ani balleessaa koo nan himadha; sababii cubbuu kootiitiifis nan gadda.
19 But my enemies are strong in life; and numerous are those that hate me wrongfully;
Warri akkasumaan diinota koo taʼan jajjaboo dha; warri sababii malee na jibbanis hedduu dha.
20 They also that repay [me] evil in lieu of good; they hate me bitterly because I pursue what is good.
Warri qooda waan gaarii waan hamaa naa deebisan diinota koo ti; ani waan gaarii duukaa nan buʼaatii.
21 Forsake me not, O Lord: O my God, be not far from me.
Yaa Waaqayyo, ati na hin gatin; yaa Waaqa ko, narraa hin fagaatin.
22 Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation.
Yaa Gooftaa, yaa fayyisaa ko, na gargaaruudhaaf ariifadhu!
