Psalms 116
1 I love Jehovah, for he hath heard my voice [and] my supplications;
Nĩnyendete Jehova, nĩgũkorwo nĩaiguĩte mũgambo wakwa; nĩaiguire ngĩmũthaitha anjiguĩre tha.
2 For he hath inclined his ear unto me, and I will call upon him during [all] my days.
Tondũ nĩathikĩrĩirie-rĩ, ndĩrĩmũkayagĩra rĩrĩa rĩothe ngũtũũra muoyo.
3 The bands of death encompassed me, and the anguish of Sheol took hold of 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 called I upon the name of Jehovah: I beseech thee, Jehovah, deliver my soul.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo ngĩkaĩra rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova, ngĩmwĩra atĩrĩ: “Wee Jehova, honokia!”
5 Gracious is Jehovah and righteous; and our God is merciful.
Jehova nĩ mũtugi na nĩ mũthingu; Ngai witũ aiyũrĩtwo nĩ tha.
6 Jehovah keepeth the simple: I was brought low, and he saved me.
Jehova nĩagitagĩra andũ arĩa matarĩ oogĩ; rĩrĩa ndahinyĩrĩirio mũno, nĩahonokirie.
7 Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for Jehovah hath dealt bountifully with thee.
Wee ngoro yakwa-rĩ, cookerera ũhurũko waku, nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩagwĩkĩte wega.
8 For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine 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 have I spoken. As for me, 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 unto 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 perform my vows unto Jehovah, yea, before 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 saints.
Andũ arĩa athingu marĩ bata mũno harĩ Jehova, nĩ ũndũ ũcio ndakenaga rĩrĩa makua o ro ũguo.
16 Yea, Jehovah! for I am thy servant; I am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid: thou hast 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 perform my vows unto Jehovah, yea, before 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. Hallelujah!
kũu nja-inĩ cia nyũmba ya Jehova, o thĩinĩ waku, wee Jerusalemu. Goocai Jehova.
