Psalms 38
1 [A Psalm by David, for a memorial.] LORD, do not rebuke me in your wrath, neither chasten me in your hot displeasure.
Faarfannaa Daawit. Yaadannoodhaaf. Yaa Waaqayyo, aarii keetiin na hin ifatin yookaan dheekkamsa keetiin na hin adabin.
2 For your arrows have pierced me, your hand presses hard on me.
Xiyyooliin kee na waraananiiru; harki kees akka malee natti ulfaateera.
3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of your indignation, neither is there any health 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 have gone over my head. As a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me.
Cubbuun koo na liqimseeraatii; akkuma baʼaa baatamuu hin dandaʼamne tokkoottis natti ulfaateera.
5 My wounds are loathsome and corrupt, because of my foolishness.
Sababii gowwummaa kootiitiif, madaan koo malaa naqate; ni ajaaʼes.
6 I am pained and bowed down greatly. I go mourning all day long.
Ani gad nan qabame; gadis nan cabe; guyyaa guutuus gaddaan oola.
7 For my waist is filled with burning. There is no soundness in my flesh.
Dugdi koo na bobaʼa; dhagni koos fayyaa hin qabu.
8 I am faint and severely bruised. I have groaned by reason of the anguish of my heart.
Ani laafeera; akka malees bututeera; garaan koo dhiphatee ani aadaan jira.
9 Lord, all my desire is before you. My groaning is not hidden from you.
Yaa Gooftaa, hawwiin koo hundinuu fuula kee duratti beekamaa dha; argansuun koo si duraa hin dhokatu.
10 My heart throbs. My strength fails me. As for the light of my eyes, it has also left me.
Lapheen koo ni dhaʼatti; jilbis na laafeera; ifni ija kootiis badeera.
11 My loved ones and my friends keep their distance because of my affliction. My kinsmen stand far away.
Michoonni koo fi miiltoon koo sababii madaa kootiitiif narraa hiiqan; firoonni koos narraa fagaatanii dhadhaabatu.
12 They also who seek after my life lay snares. Those who seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and meditate deceits all 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, do not hear. I am as a mute man who doesn't open his mouth.
Ani garuu akkuma duudaa dhagaʼuu hin dandeenyee, akkuma arrab-didaa dubbachuu hin dandeenyeetii.
14 Yes, I am as a man who doesn't hear, in whose mouth are no reproofs.
Ani akka nama dhagaʼuu hin dandeenyee, akkuma nama afaan isaa deebii kennuu hin dandeenyees taʼeera.
15 For in you, LORD, do I hope. You will answer, LORD my God.
Yaa Waaqayyo, ani sin eeggadha; yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa ko, ati deebii naa kennita.
16 For I said, "Do not let them gloat over me, or exalt themselves over me when my foot slips."
Ani, “Akka diinonni koo natti gammadan yookaan akka isaan yeroo miilli koo mucucaatutti natti of jajan hin eeyyamin” jedheeraatii.
17 For I am ready to fall. My pain is continually before me.
Ani kufuu gaʼeeraatii; dhukkubbiin koos takkumaa na hin dhiifne.
18 Yes, I confess my iniquity. I am anxious because of my sin.
Ani balleessaa koo nan himadha; sababii cubbuu kootiitiifis nan gadda.
19 But my enemies, for no reason, are many. Those who hate me wrongfully are numerous.
Warri akkasumaan diinota koo taʼan jajjaboo dha; warri sababii malee na jibbanis hedduu dha.
20 They who also render evil for good are adversaries to me, because I follow what is good.
Warri qooda waan gaarii waan hamaa naa deebisan diinota koo ti; ani waan gaarii duukaa nan buʼaatii.
21 Do not forsake me, LORD. My God, do not be far from me.
Yaa Waaqayyo, ati na hin gatin; yaa Waaqa ko, narraa hin fagaatin.
22 Hurry to help me, LORD, my salvation.
Yaa Gooftaa, yaa fayyisaa ko, na gargaaruudhaaf ariifadhu!
