Abụ Ọma 38
1 Abụ Ọma Devid. Arịrịọ. Biko, Onyenwe anyị, abarala m mba nʼiwe, maọbụ taa m ahụhụ mgbe iwe gị dị ọkụ.
O Jehovah, rebuke me not in thy wrath, nor chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
2 Nʼihi na àkụ gị niile amapuola m ahụ, aka gị adakwasịkwala m, dịka ọ bụ ọkpọ.
For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presses me severely.
3 Nʼihi oke iwe gị, ọ dịghị izuoke dị nʼime anụ ahụ; enweghịkwa m udo nʼime ọkpụkpụ m niile nʼihi mmehie m.
There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine indignation, nor is there any health in my bones because of my sin.
4 Mmetụta ikpe ọmụma m na-adakwasị m dịka ibu arọ nke dị arọ karịa m.
For my iniquities have gone over my head. As a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.
5 Ọnya m na-ere ure na-asọ oyi nʼihi mmehie enweghị uche m.
My wounds are loathsome and corrupt, because of my foolishness.
6 Abụ m onye a nyidara ma kwatukwaa nʼala ogologo ụbọchị niile, ana m agagharị nʼiru ụjụ.
I am pained and bowed down greatly. I go mourning all the day long.
7 Azụ na-egbu m mgbu nke ukwuu ahụ adịghịkwa m.
For my loins are filled with burning, and there is no soundness in my flesh.
8 Ume ọbụla adịghịkwa nʼime. Adị m ka onye e gwepịara egwepịa. Ana m asụ ude nʼihi oke ihe mgbu nke obi.
I am faint and severely bruised. I have groaned because of the disquietness of my heart.
9 O Onyenwe m, ị maara agụụ niile nke na-agụ obi m; ịsụ ude m ezokwaghị ezo nʼebe ị nọ.
Lord, all my desire is before thee, and my groaning is not hid from thee.
10 Obi na-alọ m mmiri, ike na-agwụkwa m, ìhè esitekwala nʼanya m pụọ.
My heart throbs, my strength fails me. As for the light of my eyes, it also is gone from me.
11 Ndị m hụrụ nʼanya na ndị enyi m na-asọ m oyi nʼihi ọnya m, ndị agbataobi m na-anọ m ebe dị anya.
Those I love and my friends stand aloof from my plague, and my kinsmen stand afar off.
12 Ndị na-achọ igbu m na-esiri m ọnya, ndị ahụ chọrọ imerụ m ahụ na-ekwu maka ihe dakwasịrị m; ogologo ụbọchị niile ha na-agba izuzu aghụghọ.
Those also who seek after my life lay snares for me. And those who seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and meditate deceits all the day long.
13 Adị m ka onye ntị chiri, onye na-apụghị ịnụ ihe ọbụla, dịka onye ogbu, onye na-apụghị imeghe ọnụ ya.
But I, as a deaf man, hear not. And I am as a mute man who opens not his mouth.
14 Adịla m dịka onye na-anaghị anụ ihe, onye ọnụ ya apụghị ịsa okwu.
Yea, I am as a man who hears not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.
15 O Onyenwe anyị, ana m eche gị; o Onyenwe m Chineke m, ị ga-aza.
For in thee, O Jehovah, do I hope. Thou will answer, O Lord my God.
16 Nʼihi na asịrị m, “Ekwela ka ha ṅụrịa ọṅụ nʼisi m; maọbụ bulie onwe ha elu nʼebe m nọ mgbe ụkwụ m na-agbuchapụ.”
For I said, Lest they rejoice over me. When my foot slips, they magnify themselves against me.
17 Nʼihi na lee, ana m achọ ịda ada. Anọkwa m nʼọnọdụ oke mgbu.
For I am ready to fall, and my sorrow is continually before me.
18 Ana m ekwupụta mmehie m; mmehie m na-ewute m.
For I will declare my iniquity. I will be sorry for my sin.
19 Ndị iro m, ndị na-eme ihe ike dị ọtụtụ, ndị na-akpọ m asị, na-enweghị ihe m mere, bara ụba.
But my enemies are energetic, and are strong, and those who hate me wrongfully are multiplied.
20 Ndị na-eji ihe ọjọọ akwụghachi m ezi ihe, na-ebo ebubo megide m nʼagbanyeghị na m na-achọ ime naanị ezi ihe.
They also who render evil for good are adversaries to me, because I follow the thing that is good.
21 O Onyenwe anyị, ahapụkwala m; O Chineke m, anọkwala m ebe dị anya.
Forsake me not, O Jehovah. O my God, be not far from me.
22 Bịa ọsịịsọ inyere m aka Onyenwe m na Onye nzọpụta m.
Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation.
