Psalms 132
1 A Canticle in steps. O Lord, remember David and all his meekness,
Thaburi ya Agendi Wee Jehova, ririkana Daudi na mathĩĩna marĩa mothe omĩrĩirie.
2 how he swore to the Lord, how he made a vow to the God of Jacob:
Nĩehĩtire mwĩhĩtwa harĩ Jehova, akĩĩhĩta harĩ ũcio Mwene-Hinya, o we Ngai wa Jakubu, akiuga ũũ:
3 I shall not enter into the tabernacle of my house, nor climb into the bed where I lie down;
“Ndigatoonya nyũmba yakwa, kana haice ũrĩrĩ wakwa,
4 I shall not give sleep to my eyes, nor slumber to my eyelids
ndikaareke maitho makwa mone toro, kana ndeke imone ciakwa icũnge,
5 and rest to my temples, until I find a place for the Lord, a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.
o nginya ngoonera Jehova handũ ha gũikara, ũcio Mwene-Hinya, o we Ngai wa Jakubu, ndĩmuonere gĩikaro.”
6 Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah. We discovered it in the fields of the forest.
Nĩtwaiguire ũhoro tũrĩ Efiratha, na tũkĩũkora mĩgũnda-inĩ ya Kiriathu Jearimu.
7 We will enter into his tabernacle. We will adore in the place where his feet stood.
Tũkiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩtũthiĩi gĩikaro-inĩ gĩake; nĩtũinamĩrĩre tũmũhooe tũrĩ gaturwa-inĩ ka makinya make;
8 Rise up, O Lord, into your resting place. You and the ark of your sanctification.
arahũka, Wee Jehova, ũũke kĩhurũko-inĩ gĩaku, wee na ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro rĩa hinya waku.
9 Let your priests be clothed with justice, and let your saints exult.
Athĩnjĩri aku marohumbwo na ũthingu; andũ aku aamũre nĩmakĩine nĩ gũkena.”
10 For the sake of your servant David, do not turn away the face of your Christ.
Nĩ ũndũ wa ndungata yaku Daudi, ndũkarega ũrĩa we ũitĩrĩirie maguta.
11 The Lord has sworn the truth to David, and he will not disappoint: I will set upon your throne from the fruit of your lineage.
Jehova nĩehĩtire na mwĩhĩtwa harĩ Daudi, mwĩhĩtwa atangĩĩricũkwo, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ: “Nĩngaikarĩria ũmwe wa rũciaro rwaku Gĩtĩ-inĩ gĩaku kĩa ũnene,
12 If your sons will keep my covenant and these, my testimonies, which I will teach to them, then their sons will sit upon your throne even forever.
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 chosen it as his dwelling place.
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 chosen it.
“Gĩkĩ nĩkĩo kĩhurũko gĩakwa nginya tene na tene; gũkũ nĩkuo ngũtũũra njikarĩire gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene, nĩgũkorwo nĩ niĩ ndĩyendeire;
15 When blessing, I will bless her widow. 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 rejoice with great joy.
Nĩngahumba athĩnjĩri-Ngai akuo ũhonokio, na andũ akuo arĩa aamũre matũũre mainaga nĩ gũkena.
17 There, I will produce a horn to David. There, I have prepared a lamp for my Christ.
“Kũu nĩkuo ngaatũma rũhĩa rwa Daudi rũthundũke na njigĩre ũrĩa njitĩrĩirie maguta tawa ũgwakana.
18 I will clothe his enemies with confusion. But my sanctification will flourish over him.
Thũ ciake nĩngacihumba thoni, no thũmbĩ ya ũnene ĩrĩa ĩrĩ mũtwe wake nĩĩgakenga na riiri.”
