Psalms 129

1 Often have they fought against me from my youth, let Israel now say.

Thaburi ya Agendi Maanahinyĩrĩria mũno kuuma ũnini-inĩ wakwa, Isiraeli nĩmakiuge ũguo,

2 Often have they fought against me from my youth: but they could not prevail over me.

maanahinyĩrĩria mũno kuuma ũnini-inĩ wakwa, no rĩrĩ, matirĩ maahota kũndooria.

3 The wicked have wrought upon my back: they have lengthened their iniquity.

Andũ arĩa marĩmaga na mũraũ marĩmĩte ngʼongʼo wakwa, magatema mĩtaro mĩraihu.

4 The Lord who is just will cut the necks of sinners:

No rĩrĩ, Jehova nĩ mũthingu; nĩanjohorithĩtie harĩ mĩhĩndo ya andũ arĩa aaganu.

5 Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Sion.

Andũ arĩa othe mathũire Zayuni marocookio na thuutha maconokete.

6 Let them be as grass on the tops of houses: which withered before it be plucked up:

Marohaana ta nyeki ĩrĩ nyũmba igũrũ, ĩrĩa ĩhoohaga ĩtanamera;

7 Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand: nor he that gathereth sheaves his bosom.

mũmĩtui ndangĩmĩiyũria hĩ-inĩ ciake, o na kana ũrĩa ũmĩũnganagia amĩiyũrie moko-inĩ make.

8 And they that have passed by have not said: The blessing of the Lord be upon you: we have blessed you in the name of the Lord.

Andũ arĩa mahĩtũkagĩra kuo maroaga kuuga atĩrĩ, “Kĩrathimo kĩa Jehova kĩrogĩa igũrũ rĩanyu; nĩtwamũrathima thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova.”
