Zaburi 38
1 Zaburi ya Daudi. Maombi. Ee Bwana, usinikemee katika hasira yako, wala kuniadhibu katika ghadhabu yako.
A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance. Jehovah, rebuke me not in thy wrath; neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
2 Kwa kuwa mishale yako imenichoma, na mkono wako umenishukia.
For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand cometh down upon me.
3 Hakuna afya mwilini mwangu kwa sababu ya ghadhabu yako, mifupa yangu haina uzima kwa sababu ya dhambi zangu.
There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine indignation; no peace in my bones, because of my sin.
4 Maovu yangu yamenifunika kama mzigo usiochukulika.
For mine iniquities are gone over my head: as a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.
5 Majeraha yangu yameoza na yananuka, kwa sababu ya upumbavu wa dhambi zangu.
My wounds stink, they are corrupt, because of my foolishness.
6 Nimeinamishwa chini na kushushwa sana, mchana kutwa nazunguka nikiomboleza.
I am depressed; I am bowed down beyond measure; I go mourning all the day.
7 Viuno vyangu vimejaa maumivu yaunguzayo, hakuna afya mwilini mwangu.
For my loins are full of burning, and there is no soundness in my flesh.
8 Nimedhoofika na kupondwa kabisa, nasononeka kwa maumivu makuu ya moyoni.
I am faint and broken beyond measure; I roar by reason of the agitation of my heart.
9 Ee Bwana, yote ninayoyaonea shauku yako wazi mbele zako, kutamani kwangu sana hakufichiki mbele zako.
Lord, all my desire is before thee, and my sighing is not hid from thee.
10 Moyo wangu unapigapiga, nguvu zangu zimeniishia; hata macho yangu yametiwa giza.
My heart throbbeth, my strength hath left me; and the light of mine eyes, it also is no more with me.
11 Rafiki na wenzangu wananikwepa kwa sababu ya majeraha yangu; majirani zangu wanakaa mbali nami.
My lovers and mine associates stand aloof from my stroke; and my kinsmen stand afar off.
12 Wale wanaotafuta uhai wangu wanatega mitego yao, wale ambao wangetaka kunidhuru huongea juu ya maangamizi yangu; hufanya shauri la hila mchana kutwa.
And they that seek after my life lay snares [for me]; and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and meditate deceits all the day long.
13 Mimi ni kama mtu kiziwi, asiyeweza kusikia, ni kama bubu, asiyeweza kufungua kinywa chake,
But I, as a deaf [man], hear not; and am as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.
14 nimekuwa kama mtu asiyesikia, ambaye kinywa chake hakiwezi kutoa jibu.
Yea, I am as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.
15 Ee Bwana, ninakungojea wewe, Ee Bwana Mungu wangu, utajibu.
For in thee, Jehovah, do I hope: thou wilt answer, O Lord my God.
16 Kwa kuwa nilisema, “Usiwaache wafurahie, wala wasijitukuze juu yangu mguu wangu unapoteleza.”
For I said, Let them not rejoice over me! When my foot slipped, they magnified [themselves] against me.
17 Kwa maana ninakaribia kuanguka, na maumivu yangu yananiandama siku zote.
For I am ready to halt, and my pain is continually before me.
18 Naungama uovu wangu, ninataabishwa na dhambi yangu.
For I will declare mine iniquity, I am grieved for my sin.
19 Wengi ni wale ambao ni adui zangu hodari, wale wanaonichukia bila sababu ni wengi.
But mine enemies are lively, they are strong; and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied:
20 Wanaolipa maovu kwa wema wangu hunisingizia ninapofuata lililo jema.
And they that render evil for good are adversaries unto me; because I pursue what is good.
21 Ee Bwana, usiniache, usiwe mbali nami, Ee Mungu wangu.
Forsake me not, Jehovah; O my God, be not far from me.
22 Ee Bwana Mwokozi wangu, uje upesi kunisaidia.
Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation.
