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 concerning the Sabbath-day. O Lord, rebuke me not in your wrath, neither chasten me in your anger.
2 Nʼihi na àkụ gị niile amapuola m ahụ, aka gị adakwasịkwala m, dịka ọ bụ ọkpọ.
For your weapons are fixed in me, and you have pressed your hand heavily upon me.
3 Nʼihi oke iwe gị, ọ dịghị izuoke dị nʼime anụ ahụ; enweghịkwa m udo nʼime ọkpụkpụ m niile nʼihi mmehie m.
For there is no health in my flesh because of your anger; there is no peace to my bones because of my sins.
4 Mmetụta ikpe ọmụma m na-adakwasị m dịka ibu arọ nke dị arọ karịa m.
For my transgressions have gone over mine head: they have pressed heavily upon me like a weighty burden.
5 Ọnya m na-ere ure na-asọ oyi nʼihi mmehie enweghị uche m.
My bruises have become noisome and corrupt, because of my foolishness.
6 Abụ m onye a nyidara ma kwatukwaa nʼala ogologo ụbọchị niile, ana m agagharị nʼiru ụjụ.
I have been wretched and bowed down continually: I went with a mourning countenance all the day.
7 Azụ na-egbu m mgbu nke ukwuu ahụ adịghịkwa m.
For my soul is filled with mockings; and there is no health 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 have been afflicted and brought down exceedingly: I have roared for the groaning of my heart.
9 O Onyenwe m, ị maara agụụ niile nke na-agụ obi m; ịsụ ude m ezokwaghị ezo nʼebe ị nọ.
But all my desire is before you; and my groaning is not hidden from you.
10 Obi na-alọ m mmiri, ike na-agwụkwa m, ìhè esitekwala nʼanya m pụọ.
My heart is troubled, my strength has failed me; and the light of mine eyes is not with 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.
My friends and my neighbors drew near before me, and stood still; and my nearest of kin stood 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.
While they pressed hard upon me that sought my soul: and they that sought my hurt spoke vanities, and devised deceits all the day.
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, heard not; and was as a dumb man not opening his mouth.
14 Adịla m dịka onye na-anaghị anụ ihe, onye ọnụ ya apụghị ịsa okwu.
And I was as a man that hears not, and who has no reproofs in his mouth.
15 O Onyenwe anyị, ana m eche gị; o Onyenwe m Chineke m, ị ga-aza.
For I hoped in you, O Lord: you will hear, 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 mine enemies rejoice against me: for when my feet were moved, they spoke boastingly against me.
17 Nʼihi na lee, ana m achọ ịda ada. Anọkwa m nʼọnọdụ oke mgbu.
For I am ready for plagues, and my grief is continually before me.
18 Ana m ekwupụta mmehie m; mmehie m na-ewute m.
For I will declare mine iniquity, and be distressed 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 mine enemies live, and are mightier than I: and they that hate me unjustly 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 that reward evil for good slandered me; because I followed righteousness.
21 O Onyenwe anyị, ahapụkwala m; O Chineke m, anọkwala m ebe dị anya.
Forsake me not, O Lord my God: depart not from me.
22 Bịa ọsịịsọ inyere m aka Onyenwe m na Onye nzọpụta m.
Draw near to my help, O Lord of my salvation.
