Zaburi 38
1 Zaburi ya Daudi. Maombi. Ee Bwana, usinikemee katika hasira yako, wala kuniadhibu katika ghadhabu yako.
A Psalm of David, to make memorial. O LORD, rebuke me not in Thine anger; neither chasten me in Thy wrath.
2 Kwa kuwa mishale yako imenichoma, na mkono wako umenishukia.
For Thine arrows are gone deep into me, and Thy hand is come 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; neither is there any health 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 are noisome, they fester, because of my foolishness.
6 Nimeinamishwa chini na kushushwa sana, mchana kutwa nazunguka nikiomboleza.
I am bent and bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day.
7 Viuno vyangu vimejaa maumivu yaunguzayo, hakuna afya mwilini mwangu.
For my loins are filled with burning; and there is no soundness in my flesh.
8 Nimedhoofika na kupondwa kabisa, nasononeka kwa maumivu makuu ya moyoni.
I am benumbed and sore crushed; I groan by reason of the moaning 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 fluttereth, my strength faileth me; as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.
11 Rafiki na wenzangu wananikwepa kwa sababu ya majeraha yangu; majirani zangu wanakaa mbali nami.
My friends and my companions stand aloof from my plague; 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.
They also that seek after my life lay snares for me; and they that seek my hurt speak crafty devices, and utter deceits all the day.
13 Mimi ni kama mtu kiziwi, asiyeweza kusikia, ni kama bubu, asiyeweza kufungua kinywa chake,
But I am as a deaf man, I hear not; and I am as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.
14 nimekuwa kama mtu asiyesikia, ambaye kinywa chake hakiwezi kutoa jibu.
Yea, I am become as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no arguments.
15 Ee Bwana, ninakungojea wewe, Ee Bwana Mungu wangu, utajibu.
For in Thee, O LORD, 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: 'Lest they rejoice over me; when my foot slippeth, they magnify 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 do declare mine iniquity; I am full of care because of my sin.
19 Wengi ni wale ambao ni adui zangu hodari, wale wanaonichukia bila sababu ni wengi.
But mine enemies are strong in health; and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.
20 Wanaolipa maovu kwa wema wangu hunisingizia ninapofuata lililo jema.
They also that repay evil for good are adversaries unto me, because I follow the thing that is good.
21 Ee Bwana, usiniache, usiwe mbali nami, Ee Mungu wangu.
Forsake me not, O LORD; 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.
