Abụ Ọma 38
1 Abụ Ọma Devid. Arịrịọ. Biko, Onyenwe anyị, abarala m mba nʼiwe, maọbụ taa m ahụhụ mgbe iwe gị dị ọkụ.
A Psalm of David, for remembrance. O LORD, do not rebuke me in Your anger or discipline me in Your wrath.
2 Nʼihi na àkụ gị niile amapuola m ahụ, aka gị adakwasịkwala m, dịka ọ bụ ọkpọ.
For Your arrows have pierced me deeply, and Your hand has pressed down on me.
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 body because of Your anger; there is no rest 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 overwhelmed me; they are a burden too heavy to bear.
5 Ọnya m na-ere ure na-asọ oyi nʼihi mmehie enweghị uche m.
My wounds are foul and festering because of my sinful folly.
6 Abụ m onye a nyidara ma kwatukwaa nʼala ogologo ụbọchị niile, ana m agagharị nʼiru ụjụ.
I am bent and brought low; all day long I go about mourning.
7 Azụ na-egbu m mgbu nke ukwuu ahụ adịghịkwa m.
For my loins are full of burning pain, and no soundness remains in my body.
8 Ume ọbụla adịghịkwa nʼime. Adị m ka onye e gwepịara egwepịa. Ana m asụ ude nʼihi oke ihe mgbu nke obi.
I am numb and badly crushed; I groan in anguish of heart.
9 O Onyenwe m, ị maara agụụ niile nke na-agụ obi m; ịsụ ude m ezokwaghị ezo nʼebe ị nọ.
O Lord, my every desire is before You; my groaning is not hidden from You.
10 Obi na-alọ m mmiri, ike na-agwụkwa m, ìhè esitekwala nʼanya m pụọ.
My heart pounds, my strength fails, and even the light of my eyes has faded.
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.
My beloved and friends shun my disease, and my kinsmen stand at a distance.
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 who seek my life lay snares; those who wish me harm speak destruction, plotting deceit all 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 like a deaf man, I do not hear; and like a mute man, I do not open my mouth.
14 Adịla m dịka onye na-anaghị anụ ihe, onye ọnụ ya apụghị ịsa okwu.
I am like a man who cannot hear, whose mouth offers no reply.
15 O Onyenwe anyị, ana m eche gị; o Onyenwe m Chineke m, ị ga-aza.
I wait for You, O LORD; You 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, “Let them not gloat over me— those who taunt me when my foot slips.”
17 Nʼihi na lee, ana m achọ ịda ada. Anọkwa m nʼọnọdụ oke mgbu.
For I am ready to fall, and my pain is ever with me.
18 Ana m ekwupụta mmehie m; mmehie m na-ewute m.
Yes, I confess my iniquity; I am troubled by 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.
Many are my enemies without cause, and many hate me without reason.
20 Ndị na-eji ihe ọjọọ akwụghachi m ezi ihe, na-ebo ebubo megide m nʼagbanyeghị na m na-achọ ime naanị ezi ihe.
Those who repay my good with evil attack me for pursuing the good.
21 O Onyenwe anyị, ahapụkwala m; O Chineke m, anọkwala m ebe dị anya.
Do not forsake me, O LORD; be not far from me, O my God.
22 Bịa ọsịịsọ inyere m aka Onyenwe m na Onye nzọpụta m.
Come quickly to help me, O Lord my Savior.
