Psalms 38
1 Saamu Dafidi. Ẹ̀bẹ̀. Olúwa, má ṣe bá mi wí nínú ìbínú rẹ, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kí o má ṣe fi ìyà jẹ mí nínú ìrunú rẹ̀.
A Psalm of David, to make memorial. O LORD, rebuke me not in Thine anger; neither chasten me in Thy wrath.
2 Nítorí tí ọfà rẹ kàn mọ́ mi ṣinṣin, ọwọ́ rẹ sì kì mí mọ́lẹ̀.
For Thine arrows are gone deep into me, and Thy hand is come down upon me.
3 Kò sí ibi yíyè ní ara à mi, nítorí ìbínú rẹ; kò sí àlàáfíà nínú egungun mi nítorí i ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ mi.
There is no soundness in my flesh because of Thine indignation; neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin.
4 Nítorí àìṣedéédéé mi ti borí mi mọ́lẹ̀; wọ́n tó ìwọ̀n bi àjàgà tí ó wúwo jù fún mi.
For mine iniquities are gone over my head; as a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.
5 Ọgbẹ́ mi ń rùn ó sì díbàjẹ́ nítorí òmùgọ̀ mi.
My wounds are noisome, they fester, because of my foolishness.
6 Èmi ń jòwèrè, orí mi tẹ̀ ba gidigidi èmi ń ṣọ̀fọ̀ rìn kiri ní gbogbo ọjọ́.
I am bent and bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day.
7 Nítorí ẹ̀gbẹ́ mi kún fún ìgbóná tí ń jóni kò sì ṣí ibi yíyè ní ara mi.
For my loins are filled with burning; and there is no soundness in my flesh.
8 Ara mi hù, a sì wó mi jẹ́gẹjẹ̀gẹ; mo kérora nítorí ìrúkèrúdò àyà mi.
I am benumbed and sore crushed; I groan by reason of the moaning of my heart.
9 Olúwa, gbogbo ìfẹ́ mi ń bẹ níwájú rẹ; ìmí ẹ̀dùn mi kò sá pamọ́ fún ọ.
Lord, all my desire is before Thee; and my sighing is not hid from Thee.
10 Àyà mi ń mí hẹlẹ, agbára mi yẹ̀ mí sílẹ̀; bí ó ṣe ti ìmọ́lẹ̀ ojú mi ni, ó ti lọ kúrò lára mi.
My heart fluttereth, my strength faileth me; as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.
11 Àwọn ọ̀rẹ́ mi àti àwọn ẹlẹgbẹ́ mi dúró lókèèrè réré kúrò níbi ìpọ́njú mi, àwọn alábágbé mi, dúró lókèèrè.
My friends and my companions stand aloof from my plague; and my kinsmen stand afar off.
12 Àwọn tí n wá ẹ̀mí mi dẹ okùn sílẹ̀ fún mi; àti àwọn tí ó fẹ́ pa mí lára ń sọ̀rọ̀ nípa ìparun, wọ́n sì ń gbèrò ẹ̀tàn ní gbogbo ọjọ́.
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 Ṣùgbọ́n mo dàbí adití odi, èmi kò gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀; àti bí odi, tí kò le sọ̀rọ̀.
But I am as a deaf man, I hear not; and I am as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.
14 Nítòótọ́, mo rí bí ọkùnrin tí kò gbọ́rọ̀, àti bí ẹnu ẹni tí kò sí ìjiyàn.
Yea, I am become as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no arguments.
15 Ṣùgbọ́n sí ọ Olúwa, ìwọ ni mo dúró dè; ìwọ ni, Olúwa Ọlọ́run mi, ẹni tí yóò dáhùn.
For in Thee, O LORD, do I hope; Thou wilt answer, O Lord my God.
16 Nítorí tí mo gbàdúrà, “Gbóhùn mi, kí wọn má ba à yọ̀ mí; nígbà tí ẹsẹ̀ mi bá yọ̀ wọn yóò máa gbé ara wọn ga sí mi.”
For I said: 'Lest they rejoice over me; when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.'
17 Nítorí tí mo ti ṣetán láti ṣubú, ìrora mi sì wà pẹ̀lú mi nígbà gbogbo.
For I am ready to halt, and my pain is continually before me.
18 Mo jẹ́wọ́ ìrékọjá mi; àánú sì ṣe mí fún ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ mi.
For I do declare mine iniquity; I am full of care because of my sin.
19 Àwọn tí ó jẹ́ ọ̀tá mi láìnídìí pàtàkì, wọ́n lágbára púpọ̀, ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ni àwọn tí ó kórìíra mi lọ́nà òdì.
But mine enemies are strong in health; and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.
20 Àwọn tí wọn ń fi ibi san rere fún mi àwọn ni ọ̀tá mi nítorí pé mò ń tọ ìre lẹ́yìn.
They also that repay evil for good are adversaries unto me, because I follow the thing that is good.
21 Má ṣe kọ̀ mí sílẹ̀, ìwọ Olúwa! Ọlọ́run mi, má ṣe jìnnà sí mi.
Forsake me not, O LORD; O my God, be not far from me.
22 Yára láti ràn mí lọ́wọ́, Olúwa, Olùgbàlà mi.
Make haste to help me, O LORD, my salvation.
