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.
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 For thy arrows have penetrated into me, and thy hand presseth down upon me.
Nítorí tí ọfà rẹ kàn mọ́ mi ṣinṣin, ọwọ́ rẹ sì kì mí mọ́lẹ̀.
3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of thy indignation: there is no peace in my bones because of my sin.
Kò sí ibi yíyè ní ara à mi, nítorí ìbínú rẹ; kò sí àlàáfíà nínú egungun mi nítorí i ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ mi.
4 For my iniquities are passed over my head, as a heavy burden are they too heavy for me.
Nítorí àìṣedéédéé mi ti borí mi mọ́lẹ̀; wọ́n tó ìwọ̀n bi àjàgà tí ó wúwo jù fún mi.
5 Foul, corrupt are my bruises because of my folly.
Ọgbẹ́ mi ń rùn ó sì díbàjẹ́ nítorí òmùgọ̀ mi.
6 I am bent double; I am bowed down to the utmost; all the day long I go about full of grief.
Èmi ń jòwèrè, orí mi tẹ̀ ba gidigidi èmi ń ṣọ̀fọ̀ rìn kiri ní gbogbo ọjọ́.
7 For my loins are filled with a burning disease, and there is no soundness in my flesh.
Nítorí ẹ̀gbẹ́ mi kún fún ìgbóná tí ń jóni kò sì ṣí ibi yíyè ní ara mi.
8 I am made faint and crushed to the utmost; I cry aloud because of the groaning of my heart.
Ara mi hù, a sì wó mi jẹ́gẹjẹ̀gẹ; mo kérora nítorí ìrúkèrúdò àyà mi.
9 Lord, before thee is all my longing; and my sighing is from thee not hidden.
Olúwa, gbogbo ìfẹ́ mi ń bẹ níwájú rẹ; ìmí ẹ̀dùn mi kò sá pamọ́ fún ọ.
10 My heart is restless, my strength hath left me; and the light of my eyes—that also is no more with me.
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 lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague; and my kinsmen stand afar off.
Àwọn ọ̀rẹ́ mi àti àwọn ẹlẹgbẹ́ mi dúró lókèèrè réré kúrò níbi ìpọ́njú mi, àwọn alábágbé mi, dúró lókèèrè.
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.
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 But I, as a deaf man, hear not; and I am as a dumb man that cannot open his mouth.
Ṣùgbọ́n mo dàbí adití odi, èmi kò gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀; àti bí odi, tí kò le sọ̀rọ̀.
14 Thus am I as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no words of defence.
Nítòótọ́, mo rí bí ọkùnrin tí kò gbọ́rọ̀, àti bí ẹnu ẹni tí kò sí ìjiyàn.
15 For in thee, O Lord, do I hope: thou wilt answer, O Lord my God.
Ṣùgbọ́n sí ọ Olúwa, ìwọ ni mo dúró dè; ìwọ ni, Olúwa Ọlọ́run mi, ẹni tí yóò dáhùn.
16 For I said, Perhaps they might rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they might magnify themselves over me.
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 am prepared for [my] downfall, and my pain is continually before me.
Nítorí tí mo ti ṣetán láti ṣubú, ìrora mi sì wà pẹ̀lú mi nígbà gbogbo.
18 For I will tell of my iniquity; I will be grieved because of my sin.
Mo jẹ́wọ́ ìrékọjá mi; àánú sì ṣe mí fún ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ mi.
19 But my enemies are strong in life; and numerous are those that hate me wrongfully;
Àwọn tí ó jẹ́ ọ̀tá mi láìnídìí pàtàkì, wọ́n lágbára púpọ̀, ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ni àwọn tí ó kórìíra mi lọ́nà òdì.
20 They also that repay [me] evil in lieu of good; they hate me bitterly because I pursue what is good.
Àwọn tí wọn ń fi ibi san rere fún mi àwọn ni ọ̀tá mi nítorí pé mò ń tọ ìre lẹ́yìn.
21 Forsake me not, O Lord: O my God, be not far from me.
Má ṣe kọ̀ mí sílẹ̀, ìwọ Olúwa! Ọlọ́run mi, má ṣe jìnnà sí mi.
22 Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation.
Yára láti ràn mí lọ́wọ́, Olúwa, Olùgbàlà mi.
