Psalms 34
1 [A Psalm] of David; when he changed his behaviour before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed. I will bless Jehovah at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
Thaburi ya Daudi Ndĩrĩkumagia Jehova hĩndĩ ciothe; ndĩrĩmũgoocaga na kanua gakwa hĩndĩ ciothe.
2 My soul shall make its boast in Jehovah: the meek shall hear, and rejoice.
Ngoro yakwa nĩ Jehova ĩrĩĩrahaga; arĩa anyamaarĩku marĩiguaga ũguo magakena.
3 Magnify Jehovah with me, and let us exalt his name together.
Goocai Jehova mũmũnenehie mũrĩ hamwe na niĩ; rekei tũtũũgĩrie rĩĩtwa rĩake tũrĩ hamwe.
4 I sought Jehovah, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears.
Ndarongoririe Jehova, nake akĩnjĩtĩka, akĩndeithũra kuuma kũrĩ maũndũ marĩa mothe maanjĩkagĩra guoya.
5 They looked unto him, and were enlightened, and their faces were not confounded.
Andũ arĩa mamũcũthagĩrĩria matheragĩrwo nĩ ũtheri; mothiũ mao gũtirĩ hĩndĩ magaaconorithio.
6 This afflicted one called, and Jehovah heard [him], and saved him out of all his troubles.
Mũndũ ũyũ mũthĩĩni aakaĩire Jehova, nake Jehova akĩmũigua, akĩmũhonokia mathĩĩna-inĩ make mothe.
7 The angel of Jehovah encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.
Mũraika wa Jehova aikaraga arangĩire arĩa othe mamwĩtigagĩra, na akamateithũra othe.
8 Taste and see that Jehovah is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him!
Camai muone atĩ Jehova nĩ mwega; kũrathimwo nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa ũragĩra harĩ we.
9 Fear Jehovah, ye his saints; for there is no want to them that fear him.
Mwĩtigĩrei Jehova, inyuĩ andũ ake aamũre, nĩgũkorwo arĩa mamwĩtigĩrĩte gũtirĩ kĩndũ maagaga.
10 The young lions are in need and suffer hunger; but they that seek Jehovah shall not want any good.
Mĩrũũthi no yage gĩa kũrĩa ĩhũte, no arĩa marongoragia Jehova gũtirĩ kĩndũ kĩega maagaga.
11 Come, ye sons, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of Jehovah.
Ũkai ciana ciakwa, mũthikĩrĩrie ũrĩa nguuga; nĩngũmũruta gwĩtigĩra Jehova.
12 What man is he that desireth life, [and] loveth days, that he may see good?
Mũndũ ũrĩa wanyu ũngĩenda gũtũũra muoyo, na erirĩrie kuona matukũ maingĩ mega,
13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile;
nĩakĩmenyerere rũrĩmĩ rwake rũtikoige ũũru, na mĩromo yake ndĩkaarie maheeni.
14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
Garũrũka utige gwĩka ũũru na wĩke ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire; caragia thayũ na ũũthingatage.
15 The eyes of Jehovah are upon the righteous, and his ears are toward their cry;
Maitho ma Jehova macũthagĩrĩria andũ arĩa athingu, na matũ make magathikĩrĩria kĩrĩro kĩao;
16 The face of Jehovah is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth:
ũthiũ wa Jehova ũũkagĩrĩra andũ arĩa mekaga ũũru, nĩguo moima thĩ matikanaririkanwo.
17 [The righteous] cry, and Jehovah heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.
Andũ arĩa athingu makayaga, Jehova akamaigua; amateithũraga kuuma mathĩĩna-inĩ mao mothe.
18 Jehovah is nigh to those that are of a broken heart, and saveth them that are of a contrite spirit.
Jehova akoragwo arĩ hakuhĩ na andũ arĩa ahehenjeku ngoro, na akahonokia arĩa athuthĩku roho.
19 Many are the adversities of the righteous, but Jehovah delivereth him out of them all:
Mũndũ ũrĩa mũthingu no akorwo arĩ na mathĩĩna maingĩ, no Jehova amũteithũraga harĩ mo mothe;
20 He keepeth all his bones; not one of them is broken.
agitagĩra mahĩndĩ make mothe, gũtirĩ o na rĩmwe rĩngiunĩka.
21 Evil shall destroy the wicked; and they that hate the righteous shall bear their guilt.
Andũ arĩa aaganu makooragwo nĩ ũũru; nao arĩa mathũire andũ arĩa athingu nĩmagatuĩrwo ciira.
22 Jehovah redeemeth the soul of his servants; and none of them that trust in him shall bear guilt.
Jehova akũũraga ndungata ciake; arĩa othe moragĩra harĩ we gũtirĩ ũgaatuĩrwo ciira.
