Psalms 38
1 A psalm of David to make remembrance. O Yahweh may not in anger your you rebuke me and in wrath your may you chasten me.
Thaburi ya Daudi Wee Jehova, ndũkandũithie ũrĩ na marakara, kana ũũherithie ũrĩ na mangʼũrĩ.
2 For arrows your they have penetrated me and it has come down on me hand your.
Nĩgũkorwo mĩguĩ yaku nĩĩtheceete, na guoko gwaku nĩ kũũhũrĩte mũno.
3 There not [is] soundness in flesh my because of indignation your there not [is] health in bones my because of sin my.
Ndirĩ na ũgima wa mwĩrĩ tondũ wa mangʼũrĩ maku; mahĩndĩ makwa nĩmarũaru nĩ ũndũ wa mehia makwa.
4 For iniquities my they have passed over head my like a burden heavy they are [too] heavy for me.
Mahĩtia makwa nĩmanditũhĩire mũno o ta mũrigo mũritũ itangĩhota gũkuua.
5 They stink they fester wounds my because of folly my.
Ironda ciakwa nĩitogotete na ikanunga nĩ tondũ wa ũrimũ wakwa wa mehia.
6 I am bent down I am bent over up to muchness all the day mourning I have gone about.
Thiiaga ndĩĩhacĩte, ngakungĩrĩra mũno, mũthenya wothe ndindaga ngĩcakaya.
7 For loins my they are full burning [pain] and there not [is] soundness in flesh my.
Mũgongo wakwa ũiyũrĩtwo nĩ ruo ta rwa mwaki; ndirĩ na ũgima wa mwĩrĩ.
8 I am numb and I am crushed up to muchness I roar from [the] groaning of heart my.
Ndĩ mũmocu na ngathuthĩka biũ; ndĩracaaya nĩ ruo rwa ngoro.
9 O Lord [is] before you all desire my and sighing my from you not it is hidden.
Wee Mwathani, wendi wakwa wothe ũrĩ o mbere yaku; gũcaaya gwakwa ti kũhitharu harĩwe.
10 Heart my it palpitates it has left me strength my and [the] light of eyes my also they not [are] with me.
Ngoro yakwa nĩĩratuuma mũno, naguo hinya wakwa nĩgũthira ũrathira; o na ũtheri nĩumĩte maitho-inĩ makwa.
11 Friends my - and companions my from before plague my they stand and kinsmen my from a distance they have stood.
Arata na athiritũ akwa matiendaga kũnguhĩrĩria nĩ ũndũ wa ironda ciakwa; o na andũ a itũũra rĩakwa manjikaraga haraihu.
12 And they set traps - [those who] seek life my and [those who] seek harm my they have spoken destruction and deceit all the day they devise.
Andũ arĩa mendaga kũnjũraga nĩ mĩtego mandegagĩra, arĩa mendaga kũnjĩka ũũru maaragia ũrĩa mangĩnyũnũha; mũthenya wothe mathugundaga o maheeni.
13 And I [am] like a deaf [person] not I hear and like a dumb [person] [who] not he opens mouth his.
Niĩ haana ta mũndũ gĩtaigua, ũrĩa ũtaiguaga, ngahaana ta mũndũ ũtaaragia, ũrĩa ũtangĩtumũra kanua gake;
14 And I have become like a man who not [is] hearing and there not in mouth his [are] arguments.
nduĩkĩte ta mũndũ ũtaiguaga, ũrĩa kanua gake gatarĩ ũndũ kangĩhota gũcookia.
15 For for you O Yahweh I have waited you you will answer O Lord God my.
Wee Jehova, Wee nĩwe njetagĩrĩra; Wee Mwathani Ngai wakwa, Wee nĩwe ũkũnjookeria ũhoro.
16 For I said lest they should rejoice to me when slips foot my on me they magnified themselves.
Nĩgũkorwo ndoigire atĩrĩ, “Ndũkanareke thũ ciakwa ingenerere, o na kana ciĩtũũgĩrie igũrũ rĩakwa rĩrĩa kũgũrũ gwakwa gwatenderũka.”
17 For I for stumbling [am] prepared and pain my [is] before me continually.
Nĩgũkorwo ngirie kũgũa, na njikaraga ndĩ na ruo hĩndĩ ciothe.
18 For iniquity my I tell I am anxious from sin my.
Nĩngumbũra waganu wakwa; nĩthĩĩnĩtio nĩ mehia makwa.
19 And enemies my life they are numerous and they are many [those who] hate me falsehood.
Thũ ciakwa iria irĩ kĩyo nĩcio nyingĩ; arĩa maathũire hatarĩ gĩtũmi nĩ aingĩ.
20 And [those who] repay evil in place of good they accuse me in place of (pursuing my *Q(k)*) good.
Andũ arĩa mandĩhaga wega wakwa na ũũru manjambagia rĩrĩa niĩ ngũthingata ũndũ ũrĩa mwega.
21 May not you forsake me O Yahweh O God my may not you be distant from me.
Wee Jehova, ndũkandiganĩrie; Wee Ngai wakwa, ndũgaikare haraihu na niĩ.
22 Make haste! to help my O Lord salvation my.
Ũka narua ũndeithie, Wee Mwathani, Mũhonokia wakwa.
