Psalms 35
1 [A Psalm] of David. Judge you, O Lord, them that injure me, fight against them that fight against me.
Thaburi ya Daudi Wee Jehova, hũũrana na arĩa marahũũrana na niĩ; rũa na arĩa mararũa na niĩ.
2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and arise for my help.
Oya ngo nene na gako kanini; arahũka ũũke ũndeithie.
3 Bring forth a sword, and stop [the way] against them that persecute me: say to my soul, I am your salvation.
Hiũria itimũ na mĩcengi, ũũkĩrĩre arĩa maathingatĩte. Ĩra ngoro yakwa atĩrĩ, “Niĩ nĩ niĩ ũhonokio waku.”
4 Let them that seek my soul be ashamed and confounded: let them that devise evils against me be turned back and put to shame.
Andũ arĩa mendaga kũnduta muoyo maroconorithio na maagithio gĩtĩĩo, arĩa mathugundaga kũnyũnũha marocookio na thuutha mamakĩte.
5 Let them be as dust before the wind, and an angel of the Lord afflicting them.
Marohaana ta mahuti mombũrĩtwo nĩ rũhuho, na mũraika wa Jehova amaingatithĩtie;
6 Let their way be dark and slippery, and an angel of the Lord persecuting them.
njĩra yao ĩrogĩa nduma na ĩtendere, nake mũraika wa Jehova ahanyũkanie nao.
7 For without cause they have hid for me their destructive snare: without a cause they have reproached my soul.
Kuona atĩ nĩmahithĩire wabu wa kũndega hatarĩ gĩtũmi, na makanyenjera irima hatarĩ gĩtũmi,
8 Let a snare which they know not come upon them; and the gin which they hid take them; and let them fall into the very same snare.
marokorererwo nĩ mwanangĩko matehaarĩirie, wabu ũcio manyambĩire ũromanyiita o ene, marogwa irima rĩu manyenjeire.
9 But my soul shall exult in the Lord: it shall delight in his salvation.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo ngoro yakwa ĩgaacanjamũka nĩ ũndũ wa Jehova, na ĩkenagĩre ũhonokio wake.
10 All my bones shall say, O Lord, who is like to you? delivering the poor out of the hand of them that are stronger than he, yes, the poor and needy one from them that spoil him.
Nĩngwanĩrĩra na ngoro yakwa yothe, njũũrie atĩrĩ, “Nũũ ũhaana tawe, Wee Jehova? O Wee ũhatũraga andũ arĩa athĩĩni harĩ arĩa marĩ hinya kũmakĩra, ũkahatũra athĩĩni na abatari harĩ arĩa mamatunyaga indo.”
11 Unjust witnesses arose, and asked me of things I new not.
Nĩkuumĩrĩte aira a maheeni, makanjũũria ũhoro wa maũndũ itooĩ.
12 They rewarded me evil for good, and bereavement to my soul.
Wega wakwa mandĩhaga na ũũru, magatiga ngoro yakwa ĩrĩ na ihooru.
13 But I, when they troubled me, put on sackcloth, and humbled my soul with fasting: and my prayer shall return to my [own] bosom.
No rĩrĩa o maarĩ arũaru, niĩ ndehumbire nguo ya ikũnia, na ngĩĩnyiihia na ũndũ wa kwĩhinga kũrĩa irio. Rĩrĩa mahooya makwa maagire macookio-rĩ,
14 I behaved agreeably towards them as [if it had been] our neighbour [or] brother: I humbled myself as one mourning and sad of countenance.
ndaikarire ngĩcakayaga, o taarĩ mũrata wakwa kana mũrũ wa maitũ ndaacakayagĩra. Ndethikĩire ndĩ na ihooru, o taarĩ mũndũ ũracakaĩra nyina.
15 Yet they rejoiced against me, and plagues were plentifully brought against me, and I knew [it] not: they were scattered, but repented not.
No rĩrĩa ndahĩngirwo ngĩgwa, o moonganire hamwe mangenerere; atharĩkĩri makĩũngana maatharĩkĩre itekũmenya. Manjaambirie mategũtigithĩria.
16 They tempted me, they sneered at me most contemptuously, they gnashed their teeth upon me.
Maanyũrũragia ta andũ matooĩ Ngai, makaahagaranĩria magego mao.
17 O Lord, when will you look upon me? Deliver my soul from their mischief, mine only-begotten one from the lions.
Wee Jehova-rĩ, nĩ nginya rĩ ũgũikara wĩroreire? Hatũra muoyo wakwa kuuma harĩ wanangi wao, ũhatũre muoyo wakwa wa goro kuuma harĩ mĩrũũthi ĩno.
18 I will give thanks to you even in a great congregation: in an abundant people I will praise you.
Nĩ niĩ ngũgũcookeria ngaatho kĩũngano-inĩ kĩrĩa kĩnene; ndĩkũgoocaga ndĩ gatagatĩ ka andũ aingĩ.
19 Let not them that are mine enemies without a cause rejoice against me; who hate me for nothing, and wink with their eyes.
Ndũkareke arĩa maathũire tũhũ mangũũrĩre maitho, mangenerere; kana acio maamenete hatarĩ gĩtũmi moinanĩre maitho.
20 For to me they spoke peaceably, but imagined deceits in [their] anger.
Matiaragia ndeto cia thayũ, no mathugundaga maũndũ ma maheeni, ma gũũkĩrĩra andũ arĩa maikaraga na thayũ bũrũri-inĩ.
21 And they opened wide their mouth upon me; they said Aha, aha, our eyes have seen [it].
Manjathamagĩria tũnua twao makoiga atĩrĩ, “Haiya! Haiya! Maitho maitũ nĩmeyoneire ũguo.”
22 You have seen [it], O Lord: keep not silence: O Lord, withdraw not [yourself] from me.
Wee Jehova, nĩwĩoneire ũguo; tiga gũkira. Wee Mwathani-rĩ, ndũgaikare haraaya na niĩ.
23 Awake, O Lord, and attend to my judgement, [even] to my cause, my God and my Lord.
Arahũka, ũkĩra ũngitĩre! Hũũranĩra, Wee Ngai wakwa na Mwathani wakwa.
24 Judge me, O Lord, according to your righteousness, O Lord my God; and let them not rejoice against me.
Wee Jehova, nduĩra kũringana na ũthingu waku, Wee Ngai wakwa; ndũkareke mangũũrĩre maitho, mangenerere.
25 Let them not say in their hearts, Aha, aha, [it is pleasing] to our soul: neither let them say, We have devoured him.
Ndũkareke meciirie atĩrĩ, “Haiya, ũguo noguo tũrendaga gwĩkĩke!” Kana moige atĩrĩ, “Nĩtũmũmeretie.”
26 Let them be confounded and ashamed together that rejoice at my afflictions: let them be clothed with shame and confusion that speak great swelling words against me.
Arĩa othe mangũũragĩra maitho mangenerere nĩ ũndũ wa mĩnyamaro yakwa maroconorithio na manyiitwo nĩ kĩrigiicano; arĩa othe metũũgagĩria igũrũ rĩakwa maroconorithio na maagithio gĩtĩĩo.
27 Let them that rejoice in my righteousness exult and be glad: and let them say continually, The Lord be magnified, who desire the peace of his servant.
Arĩa makenaga ndaatuĩrwo ciira na kĩhooto, nĩmanĩrĩre na gĩkeno na gũcanjamũka; nĩmatũũre moigaga atĩrĩ, “Jehova arotũgĩrio, o we ũkenagĩra ũgaacĩru wa ndungata yake.”
28 And my tongue shall meditate on your righteousness, [and] on your praise all the day.
Rũrĩmĩ rwakwa rũrĩaragia ũhoro wa ũthingu waku, na ngũgoocage mũthenya wothe.
