The Key Word — נִגְעִי, nig'īgenerated
The word נִגְעִי (*nig'ī*) is a noun that refers specifically to a plague or affliction. It conveys the idea of a serious illness or injury, often associated with divine judgment or consequence. The parsing as a masculine singular construct indicates that it is being used here to describe the speaker's personal suffering.
This term captures both literal and metaphorical implications of injury or illness, emphasizing the severity of the speaker's condition and the resulting social isolation.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The verse is rendered in the Berean Standard Bible as well as the KJV, ASV, YLT, WEB, and BBE, all agreeing on the meaning that the speaker's loved ones have distanced themselves due to illness.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The finite verbs יַעֲמֹ֑דוּ (*they stand*) and עָמָֽדוּ (*they have stood*) govern the main actions in the verse. The structure emphasizes the contrast between the speaker's affliction and the response of their loved ones.
The sentence flows from the subject of the beloved and friends to their action of shunning, followed by the kinsmen's reaction, creating a clear picture of abandonment.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates נִגְעִי as φῶς (*light*), which introduces a different nuance, perhaps suggesting that the speaker's condition is not only physical but also affects their spiritual or emotional state.
This choice reflects a broader interpretation of the Hebrew term, indicating that the affliction has implications beyond mere physical illness.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Psalm 38:11 reveals the speaker's pain as they describe how their beloved and friends have turned away from them due to their illness. The speaker's kinsmen also keep their distance, highlighting the loneliness that often accompanies suffering.
