Psalms 38
1 A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance. O LORD, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
Thaburi ya Daudi Wee Jehova, ndũkandũithie ũrĩ na marakara, kana ũũherithie ũrĩ na mangʼũrĩ.
2 For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore.
Nĩgũkorwo mĩguĩ yaku nĩĩtheceete, na guoko gwaku nĩ kũũhũrĩte mũno.
3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine indignation; neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin.
Ndirĩ na ũgima wa mwĩrĩ tondũ wa mangʼũrĩ maku; mahĩndĩ makwa nĩmarũaru nĩ ũndũ wa mehia makwa.
4 For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.
Mahĩtia makwa nĩmanditũhĩire mũno o ta mũrigo mũritũ itangĩhota gũkuua.
5 My wounds stink and are corrupt, because of my foolishness.
Ironda ciakwa nĩitogotete na ikanunga nĩ tondũ wa ũrimũ wakwa wa mehia.
6 I am pained and bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.
Thiiaga ndĩĩhacĩte, ngakungĩrĩra mũno, mũthenya wothe ndindaga ngĩcakaya.
7 For my loins are filled with burning; and there is no soundness in my flesh.
Mũgongo wakwa ũiyũrĩtwo nĩ ruo ta rwa mwaki; ndirĩ na ũgima wa mwĩrĩ.
8 I am faint and sore bruised: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.
Ndĩ mũmocu na ngathuthĩka biũ; ndĩracaaya nĩ ruo rwa ngoro.
9 Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee.
Wee Mwathani, wendi wakwa wothe ũrĩ o mbere yaku; gũcaaya gwakwa ti kũhitharu harĩwe.
10 My heart throbbeth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.
Ngoro yakwa nĩĩratuuma mũno, naguo hinya wakwa nĩgũthira ũrathira; o na ũtheri nĩumĩte maitho-inĩ makwa.
11 My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague; and my kinsmen stand afar off.
Arata na athiritũ akwa matiendaga kũnguhĩrĩria nĩ ũndũ wa ironda ciakwa; o na andũ a itũũra rĩakwa manjikaraga haraihu.
12 They also that seek after my life lay snares [for me]; and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long.
Andũ arĩa mendaga kũnjũraga nĩ mĩtego mandegagĩra, arĩa mendaga kũnjĩka ũũru maaragia ũrĩa mangĩnyũnũha; mũthenya wothe mathugundaga o maheeni.
13 But I, as a deaf man, hear not; and I am as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.
Niĩ haana ta mũndũ gĩtaigua, ũrĩa ũtaiguaga, ngahaana ta mũndũ ũtaaragia, ũrĩa ũtangĩtumũra kanua gake;
14 Yea, I am as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.
nduĩkĩte ta mũndũ ũtaiguaga, ũrĩa kanua gake gatarĩ ũndũ kangĩhota gũcookia.
15 For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt answer, O Lord my God.
Wee Jehova, Wee nĩwe njetagĩrĩra; Wee Mwathani Ngai wakwa, Wee nĩwe ũkũnjookeria ũhoro.
16 For I said, Lest they rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.
Nĩgũkorwo ndoigire atĩrĩ, “Ndũkanareke thũ ciakwa ingenerere, o na kana ciĩtũũgĩrie igũrũ rĩakwa rĩrĩa kũgũrũ gwakwa gwatenderũka.”
17 For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me.
Nĩgũkorwo ngirie kũgũa, na njikaraga ndĩ na ruo hĩndĩ ciothe.
18 For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.
Nĩngumbũra waganu wakwa; nĩthĩĩnĩtio nĩ mehia makwa.
19 But mine enemies are lively, [and] are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.
Thũ ciakwa iria irĩ kĩyo nĩcio nyingĩ; arĩa maathũire hatarĩ gĩtũmi nĩ aingĩ.
20 They also that render evil for good are adversaries unto me, because I follow the thing that is good.
Andũ arĩa mandĩhaga wega wakwa na ũũru manjambagia rĩrĩa niĩ ngũthingata ũndũ ũrĩa mwega.
21 Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from me.
Wee Jehova, ndũkandiganĩrie; Wee Ngai wakwa, ndũgaikare haraihu na niĩ.
22 Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.
Ũka narua ũndeithie, Wee Mwathani, Mũhonokia wakwa.
