< Psalms 132 >
1 A song of ascents. O LORD, remember on behalf of David all the hardships he endured,
Thaburi ya Agendi Wee Jehova, ririkana Daudi na mathĩĩna marĩa mothe omĩrĩirie.
2 how he swore an oath to the LORD, and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
Nĩehĩtire mwĩhĩtwa harĩ Jehova, akĩĩhĩta harĩ ũcio Mwene-Hinya, o we Ngai wa Jakubu, akiuga ũũ:
3 “I will not enter my house or get into my bed,
“Ndigatoonya nyũmba yakwa, kana haice ũrĩrĩ wakwa,
4 I will not give sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids,
ndikaareke maitho makwa mone toro, kana ndeke imone ciakwa icũnge,
5 until I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
o nginya ngoonera Jehova handũ ha gũikara, ũcio Mwene-Hinya, o we Ngai wa Jakubu, ndĩmuonere gĩikaro.”
6 We heard that the ark was in Ephrathah; we found it in the fields of Jaar.
Nĩtwaiguire ũhoro tũrĩ Efiratha, na tũkĩũkora mĩgũnda-inĩ ya Kiriathu Jearimu.
7 Let us go to His dwelling place; let us worship at His footstool.
Tũkiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩtũthiĩi gĩikaro-inĩ gĩake; nĩtũinamĩrĩre tũmũhooe tũrĩ gaturwa-inĩ ka makinya make;
8 Arise, O LORD, to Your resting place, You and the ark of Your strength.
arahũka, Wee Jehova, ũũke kĩhurũko-inĩ gĩaku, wee na ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro rĩa hinya waku.
9 May Your priests be clothed with righteousness, and Your saints shout for joy.
Athĩnjĩri aku marohumbwo na ũthingu; andũ aku aamũre nĩmakĩine nĩ gũkena.”
10 For the sake of Your servant David, do not reject Your anointed one.
Nĩ ũndũ wa ndungata yaku Daudi, ndũkarega ũrĩa we ũitĩrĩirie maguta.
11 The LORD swore an oath to David, a promise He will not revoke: “One of your descendants I will place on your throne.
Jehova nĩehĩtire na mwĩhĩtwa harĩ Daudi, mwĩhĩtwa atangĩĩricũkwo, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ: “Nĩngaikarĩria ũmwe wa rũciaro rwaku Gĩtĩ-inĩ gĩaku kĩa ũnene,
12 If your sons keep My covenant and the testimony I will teach them, then their sons will also sit on your throne forever and ever.”
ariũ aku mangĩkaamenyerera kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa na mawatho makwa marĩa ndĩrĩmarutaga, hĩndĩ ĩyo ariũ ao nĩmagaikarĩra gĩtĩ gĩaku kĩa ũnene nginya tene na tene.”
13 For the LORD has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His home:
Nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩathuurĩte Zayuni, akerirĩria gũtuĩke gĩikaro gĩake, akoiga atĩrĩ:
14 “This is My resting place forever and ever; here I will dwell, for I have desired this home.
“Gĩkĩ nĩkĩo kĩhurũko gĩakwa nginya tene na tene; gũkũ nĩkuo ngũtũũra njikarĩire gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene, nĩgũkorwo nĩ niĩ ndĩyendeire;
15 I will bless her with abundant provisions; I will satisfy her poor with bread.
nĩngakũrathima na ũmaathi mũingĩ mũno; athĩĩni akuo ndĩmahũũnie na irio.
16 I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints will sing out in joy.
Nĩngahumba athĩnjĩri-Ngai akuo ũhonokio, na andũ akuo arĩa aamũre matũũre mainaga nĩ gũkena.
17 There I will make a horn grow for David; I have prepared a lamp for My anointed one.
“Kũu nĩkuo ngaatũma rũhĩa rwa Daudi rũthundũke na njigĩre ũrĩa njitĩrĩirie maguta tawa ũgwakana.
18 I will clothe his enemies with shame, but the crown upon him will gleam.”
Thũ ciake nĩngacihumba thoni, no thũmbĩ ya ũnene ĩrĩa ĩrĩ mũtwe wake nĩĩgakenga na riiri.”
