Psalms 116
1 I love Jehovah because he hears my voice and my supplications.
Nĩnyendete Jehova, nĩgũkorwo nĩaiguĩte mũgambo wakwa; nĩaiguire ngĩmũthaitha anjiguĩre tha.
2 Because he has inclined his ear to me, therefore I will call as long as I live.
Tondũ nĩathikĩrĩirie-rĩ, ndĩrĩmũkayagĩra rĩrĩa rĩothe ngũtũũra muoyo.
3 The cords of death encompassed me, and the pains of Sheol got hold upon me. I found trouble and sorrow. (Sheol h7585)
Ndarigiicĩirio nĩ mĩhĩndo ya gĩkuũ, ngĩkinyĩrĩrwo nĩ ruo rwa mbĩrĩra; ngĩhootwo nĩ mĩtangĩko o na kĩeha. (Sheol h7585)
4 Then I called upon the name of Jehovah. O Jehovah, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo ngĩkaĩra rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova, ngĩmwĩra atĩrĩ: “Wee Jehova, honokia!”
5 Gracious is Jehovah, and righteous. Yea, our God is merciful.
Jehova nĩ mũtugi na nĩ mũthingu; Ngai witũ aiyũrĩtwo nĩ tha.
6 Jehovah preserves the simple. I was brought low, and he saved me.
Jehova nĩagitagĩra andũ arĩa matarĩ oogĩ; rĩrĩa ndahinyĩrĩirio mũno, nĩahonokirie.
7 Return to thy rest, O my soul, for Jehovah has dealt bountifully with thee.
Wee ngoro yakwa-rĩ, cookerera ũhurũko waku, nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩagwĩkĩte wega.
8 For thou have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from falling.
Nĩgũkorwo Wee Jehova nĩũhonoketie muoyo wakwa kuuma kũrĩ gĩkuũ, namo maitho makwa ũkamagiria maithori, na ũkagiria magũrũ makwa mahĩngwo,
9 I will walk before Jehovah in the land of the living.
nĩgeetha thiiage ndĩ mbere ya Jehova bũrũri-inĩ wa arĩa marĩ muoyo.
10 I believed, therefore I have spoken, but I was greatly afflicted.
No ndetĩkirie ũhoro wake; nĩ ũndũ ũcio ndoigire atĩrĩ, “Nĩthĩĩnĩkĩte mũno.”
11 I said in my haste, All men are liars.
Nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa ndamakĩte, ngiuga atĩrĩ, “Andũ othe nĩ a maheeni.”
12 What shall I render to Jehovah for all his benefits toward me?
Nĩ kĩĩ ingĩthukĩra Jehova nakĩo nĩ ũndũ wa wega wake wothe ũrĩa anjĩkĩte?
13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of Jehovah.
Nĩkuoya nguoya gĩkombe kĩa ũhonokio na igũrũ, ngaĩre rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova.
14 I will pay my vows to Jehovah, yea, in the presence of all his people.
Nĩngũhingĩria Jehova mĩĩhĩtwa ĩrĩa ndehĩtire, andũ ake othe marĩ ho.
15 Precious in the sight of Jehovah is the death of his sanctified.
Andũ arĩa athingu marĩ bata mũno harĩ Jehova, nĩ ũndũ ũcio ndakenaga rĩrĩa makua o ro ũguo.
16 O Jehovah, truly I am thy servant. I am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid. Thou have loosed my bonds.
Wee Jehova, ti-itherũ niĩ ndĩ ndungata yaku; niĩ ndĩ ndungata yaku, mũriũ wa ndungata yaku ya mũndũ-wa-nja; wee nĩũnjohorithĩtie mĩnyororo-inĩ.
17 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of Jehovah.
Nĩngũkũrutĩra igongona rĩa gũgũcookeria ngaatho, na ngaĩre rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova.
18 I will pay my vows to Jehovah, yea, in the presence of all his people,
Nĩngũhingĩria Jehova mĩĩhĩtwa ĩrĩa ndehĩtire andũ ake othe marĩ ho,
19 in the courts of Jehovah's house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye Jehovah.
kũu nja-inĩ cia nyũmba ya Jehova, o thĩinĩ waku, wee Jerusalemu. Goocai Jehova.
