< Psalms 16 >

1 The inscription of a title to David himself. Preserve me, O Lord, for I have put trust in thee.
Thaburi ya Daudi Wee Mũrungu, ngitagĩra, nĩgũkorwo nĩ harĩwe njũragĩra.
2 I have said to the Lord, thou art my God, for thou hast no need of my goods.
Ndeerire Jehova atĩrĩ, “Wee nĩwe Mwathani wakwa; hatirĩ ũndũ mwega ingĩona ũtoimĩte harĩwe.”
3 To the saints, who are in his land, he hath made wonderful all my desires in them.
Ha ũhoro wa andũ arĩa aamũre arĩa marĩ bũrũri-inĩ, acio nĩo andũ arĩa marĩ riiri, na nĩo ngenagĩra mũno.
4 Their infirmities were multiplied: afterwards they made haste. I will not gather together their meetings for blood offerings: nor will I be mindful of their names by my lips.
Andũ arĩa matengʼeragĩra ngai ingĩ-rĩ, kĩeha kĩao nĩgĩkaingĩha. Ndirĩ hĩndĩ ngarutĩra ngai icio magongona ma gũita thakame, o na kana ngwete marĩĩtwa maacio na mĩromo yakwa.
5 The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup: it is thou that wilt restore my inheritance to me.
Jehova nĩwe ũnjigĩire rwĩga rwakwa, na gĩkombe gĩakwa; Wee nĩwe ũgitagĩra igai rĩakwa.
6 The lines are fallen unto me in goodly places: for my inheritance is goodly to me.
Ũnjatũrĩire ithaka kũndũ kũrĩa kwega; ti-itherũ igai rĩakwa nĩrĩngenagia mũno.
7 I will bless the Lord, who hath given me understanding: moreover my reins also have corrected me even till night.
Nĩngũgooca Jehova, ũrĩa ũũheaga kĩrĩra; o na ũtukũ ngoro yakwa nĩĩndaaraga.
8 I set the Lord always in my sight: for he is at my right hand, that I be not moved.
Jehova akoragwo arĩ mbere yakwa hĩndĩ ciothe. Tondũ arĩ guoko-inĩ gwakwa kwa ũrĩo-rĩ, ndingĩenyenyeka.
9 Therefore my heart hath been glad, and my tongue hath rejoiced: moreover my flesh also shall rest in hope.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngoro yakwa nĩnjanjamũku, na rũrĩmĩ rwakwa rũgakena; o naguo mwĩrĩ wakwa nĩ ũgaatũũra ũrĩ na thayũ,
10 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; nor wilt then give thy holy one to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
tondũ ndũkandiganĩria mbĩrĩra-inĩ, o na kana ũreke Ũrĩa-waku-Mũtheru abuthe. (Sheol h7585)
11 Thou hast made known to me the ways of life, thou shalt fill me with joy with thy countenance: at thy right hand are delights even to the end.
Nĩũũmenyithĩtie njĩra ya gũthiĩ muoyo-inĩ; nĩũkanjiyũria gĩkeno ndĩ harĩa ũrĩ, hamwe na mwago wa tene na tene ndĩ guoko-inĩ gwaku kwa ũrĩo.
