சங்கீதம் 38
1 ௧ நினைவுகூருதலுக்கான தாவீதின் பாடல். யெகோவாவே, உம்முடைய கோபத்தில் என்னைக் கடிந்துகொள்ள வேண்டாம்; உம்முடைய கடுங்கோபத்தில் என்னைத் தண்டிக்க வேண்டாம்.
Yahweh, when you are angry [with me], do not rebuke/scold me and punish me!
[Now it is as though] you have shot your arrows at me and wounded me; you have struck me and knocked me down.
Because you have been angry with me, I am suffering great pain. Because of my sin, my whole body is diseased.
4 ௪ என் அக்கிரமங்கள் என் தலைக்கு மேலாகப் பெருகினது, அவைகள் பாரச்சுமையைப்போல என்னால் தாங்கமுடியாத பாரமானது.
All my sins are [like a flood] that covers my head; they are like a load that is very heavy, with the result that I cannot carry it.
Because I have done foolish things, I have sores that have become worse, and they stink.
[Sometimes] I am bent over, and [sometimes] I lie prostrate; I am sad/cry all day.
My body is burning with fever, and I am very ill.
I am completely exhausted, and I have no strength. I am very distressed, and I groan with pain.
Yahweh, you know that I desire [to be healed]; you hear me while I am groaning.
My heat is pounding heavily, and all my strength is gone. I am no longer able to see well.
11 ௧௧ என் நண்பர்களும் என் தோழர்களும் என் வாதையைக் கண்டு விலகுகிறார்கள்; என் இனத்தாரும் தூரத்திலே நிற்கிறார்கள்.
My friends and neighbors stay away from me because of my sores; even my own family stays away from me.
12 ௧௨ என் உயிரை வாங்கத்தேடுகிறவர்கள் எனக்குக் கண்ணிகளை வைக்கிறார்கள்; எனக்குத் தீங்கை தேடுகிறவர்கள் கேடானவைகளைப் பேசி, நாள்முழுவதும் வஞ்சனைகளை யோசிக்கிறார்கள்.
And those who want to kill me set traps to catch me; those who want to harm me discuss ways to get rid of me; they plot against me all day.
Now I act like I’m deaf, and do not listen [to what they say]. I act like I cannot talk, so I say nothing [to reply to them].
I act like a man who does not answer [when people talk to him], because he cannot hear anything.
But Yahweh, I trust in you. My Lord God, you will answer me.
16 ௧௬ அவர்கள் எனக்காக சந்தோஷப்படாதபடிக்கு இப்படிச் சொன்னேன்; என்னுடைய கால் தவறும்போது என்மேல் பெருமை பாராட்டுவார்களே.
I said to you, “Do not cause [me to die, with the result that] my enemies will rejoice! Do not cause me to stumble, with the result that they will be very happy!”
I say that because I am about to fall down, and I constantly have pain.
I confess the wrong things that I have done; I am [very] sorry for the sins that I have committed.
19 ௧௯ என் எதிரிகள் வாழ்ந்து பலத்திருக்கிறார்கள்; காரணமில்லாமல் என்னைப் பகைக்கிறவர்கள் பெருகியிருக்கிறார்கள்.
My enemies are healthy and strong; there are many people who hate me for no reason.
Those who do evil things to me in return for my doing good things to them oppose me because I try to do what is right.
Yahweh, do not abandon me! My God, do not stay far from me!
Lord, you are the one who saves/rescues me; Quickly [come and] help me!
