Psalms 84
1 For the choirmaster. According to Gittith. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. How lovely is Your dwelling place, O LORD of Hosts!
Thaburi ya Ariũ a Kora Wee Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe-rĩ, kaĩ gĩikaro gĩaku nĩ gĩthaka-ĩ!
2 My soul longs, even faints, for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
Muoyo wakwa wĩriragĩria mũno, ĩĩ o na ũkoorwo nĩ hinya, nĩ ũndũ wa kwĩrirĩria nja cia Jehova; ngoro yakwa na mwĩrĩ wakwa irakaĩra Mũrungu ũrĩa ũtũũraga muoyo.
3 Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she places her young near Your altars, O LORD of Hosts, my King and my God.
O na kanyoni-ka-nja nĩkoonete mũciĩ, nayo thũngũrũrũ ĩkeyonera gĩtara, harĩa ĩngĩikaria tũcui twayo, o hau hakuhĩ na kĩgongona gĩaku, Wee Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, o Wee Mũthamaki wakwa na Ngai wakwa.
4 How blessed are those who dwell in Your house! They are ever praising You.
Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ andũ arĩa matũũraga nyũmba yaku; matũũraga makũgoocaga.
5 Blessed are those whose strength is in You, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.
Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ andũ arĩa maheagwo hinya nĩwe, o arĩa matuĩte na ngoro ciao gũthiĩ Zayuni.
6 As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a place of springs; even the autumn rain covers it with pools.
Rĩrĩa megũtuĩkanĩria Gĩtuamba kĩa Baka, matũmaga kũgĩe na ithima; mbura ya maguna-ngʼombe o nayo ĩkũhumbĩraga na tũria twa maaĩ.
7 They go from strength to strength, until each appears before God in Zion.
Mathiiaga magĩkĩragĩrĩria kũgĩa na hinya, nginya o mũndũ o mũndũ agakinya mbere ya Ngai kũu Zayuni.
8 O LORD God of Hosts, hear my prayer; give ear, O God of Jacob.
Igua ihooya rĩakwa, Wee Jehova Ngai-Mwene-Hinya-Wothe; thikĩrĩria, Wee Ngai wa Jakubu.
9 Take notice of our shield, O God, and look with favor on the face of Your anointed.
Wee Ngai, ta rora ngo iitũ; tiirĩra ũrĩa waku ũitĩrĩirie maguta gĩthiithi.
10 For better is one day in Your courts than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
Kaba mũthenya ũmwe nja-inĩ ciaku, gũkĩra gũikara mĩthenya ngiri handũ hangĩ o hothe; kaba ngorwo ndĩ mũrangĩri wa kĩhingo kĩa nyũmba ya Ngai wakwa, gũkĩra ndũũre thĩinĩ wa hema cia andũ arĩa aaganu.
11 For the LORD God is a sun and a shield; the LORD gives grace and glory; He withholds no good thing from those who walk with integrity.
Nĩgũkorwo Jehova Ngai nĩ riũa na ngo; Jehova nĩarĩtũtugaga na agatwĩka maũndũ mega; arĩa mĩthiĩre yao ĩtarĩ ũcuuke ndarĩ ũndũ mwega angĩmaima.
12 O LORD of Hosts, how blessed is the man who trusts in You!
Wee Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, kũrathimwo nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa ũkwĩhokaga.
