Psalms 38

Ge'ez original · 22 verses · some words can be tapped for a gloss

📖 This chapter exists in 3 other originals — side by side (Hebrew Old Testament, Septuagint, Vulgate)

⚠️ Psalms use Masoretic (Hebrew) numbering, which differs from printed Vulgate and Septuagint editions: Ps 38 here = Ps 37 in print. Convert before citing a printed edition.

ℹ️ This corpus has no morphological tagging. Glosses are matched by word form against a dictionary — a match does not prove it is the same word (an inflected form can coincide with another word’s lemma). Verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.

⚠️ The Chinese and English alongside are the CUV and the WEB, both translated from the Masoretic Text; they follow a different textual tradition from the Greek and Latin shown here and will disagree in places.

38:1

መዝሙር ፡ ዘዳዊት ፡ ለተዝካረ ሰንበት ። እግዚኦ ፡ በመዐትከ ፡ ኢትቅሥፈኒ ፤ ወበመቅሠፍትከ ፡ ኢትገሥጸኒ ።

Yahweh, don’t rebuke me in your wrath, neither chasten me in your hot displeasure.

耶和華啊，求你不要在怒中責備我，不要在烈怒中懲罰我！

38:2

እስመ ፡ አሕጻከ ፡ ደጐጻኒ ፤ ወአጽናዕከ ፡ እዴከ ፡ ላዕሌየ ።

For your arrows have pierced me, your hand presses hard on me.

因為，你的箭射入我身；你的手壓住我。

38:3

ወአልቦ ፡ ፈውሰ ፡ ለሥጋየ ፡ እምገጸ ፡ መዐትከ ፤ ወአልቦ ፡ ሰላመ ፡ ለአዕጽምትየ ፡ እምገጸ ፡ ኀጢአትየ ።

There is no soundness in my flesh because of your indignation, neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin.

因你的惱怒，我的肉無一完全；因我的罪過，我的骨頭也不安寧。

38:4

እስመ ፡ ኖኀ ፡ እምሥዕርትየ ፡ ጌጋይየ ፤ ከመ ፡ ጾር ፡ ክብድ ፡ ከብደ ፡ ላዕሌየ ።

For my iniquities have gone over my head. As a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me.

我的罪孽高過我的頭，如同重擔叫我擔當不起。

38:5

ጼአ ፡ ወባኍብኈ ፡ አዕጽምትየ ፡ እምገጸ ፡ እበድየ ።

My wounds are loathsome and corrupt because of my foolishness.

因我的愚昧，我的傷發臭流膿。

38:6

ሐርተምኩ ፡ ወተቀጻዕኩ ፡ ለዝሉፉ ፤ ወኵሎ ፡ አሚረ ፡ ትኩዝየ ፡ ኣንሶሱ ።

I am in pain and bowed down greatly. I go mourning all day long.

我疼痛，大大拳曲，終日哀痛。

38:7

እስመ ፡ ጸግበት ፡ ጽእለተ ፡ ነፍስየ ፤ ወኀጣእኩ ፡ ፈውሰ ፡ ለሥጋየ ።

For my waist is filled with burning. There is no soundness in my flesh.

我滿腰是火；我的肉無一完全。

38:8

ደወይኩ ፡ ወሐመምኩ ፡ ፈድፋደ ፤ ወእጐሥዕ ፡ እምሐዘነ ፡ ልብየ ።

I am faint and severely bruised. I have groaned by reason of the anguish of my heart.

我被壓傷，身體疲倦；因心裏不安，我就唉哼。

38:9

በቅድሜከ ፡ ኵሉ ፡ ፍትወትየ ፤ ወገዓርየኒ ፡ ኢይትኀባእ ፡ እምኔከ ።

Lord, all my desire is before you. My groaning is not hidden from you.

主啊，我的心願都在你面前；我的歎息不向你隱瞞。
