Psalms 17
1 The prayer of David. Hear, O Lord, my justice: attend to my supplication. Give ear unto my prayer, which proceedeth not from deceitful lips.
Ihooya rĩa Daudi Wee Jehova, ta igua gũthaithana gwakwa kwa ũthingu; thikĩrĩria gũkaya gwakwa. Tega gũtũ ũigue ihooya rĩakwa, tondũ rĩtiumanĩte na mĩromo ya maheeni.
2 Let my judgment come forth from thy countenance: let thy eyes behold the things that are equitable.
Ituĩro rĩakwa rĩa kĩhooto nĩrĩkiume kũrĩ wee; maitho maku nĩmakĩone o ũndũ ũrĩa wagĩrĩire.
3 Thou hast proved my heart, and visited it by night, thou hast tried me by fire: and iniquity hath not been found in me.
O na ũngĩthuthuuria ngoro yakwa na ũnduĩrie ũtukũ, o na ũngĩngeria, ndũrĩ ũndũ mũũru ũngĩona; nĩnduĩte atĩ ndikehia na kanua gakwa.
4 That my mouth may not speak the works of men: for the sake of the words of thy lips, I have kept hard ways.
Ha ũhoro wa ciĩko cia andũ, na ũndũ wa uuge wa mĩromo yaku niĩ ndũũrĩte ndĩrigagĩrĩria njĩra cia andũ arĩa mendete haaro.
5 Perfect thou my goings in thy paths: that my footsteps be not moved.
Makinya makwa nĩmarũmĩtie njĩra ciaku; magũrũ makwa matirĩ matenderũka.
6 I have cried to thee, for thou, O God, hast heard me: O incline thy ear unto me, and hear my words.
Wee Mũrungu, ngũkayagĩra tondũ nĩũnjĩtĩkaga; ndegera gũtũ na ũigue ihooya rĩakwa.
7 Shew forth thy wonderful mercies; thou who savest them that trust in thee.
Tũma magegania ma wendo waku mũnene monekane, Wee ũhonokanagia na guoko gwaku kwa ũrĩo arĩa moragĩra harĩwe kuuma kũrĩ thũ ciao.
8 From them that resist thy right hand keep me, as the apple of thy eye. Protect me under the shadow of thy wings.
Menyagĩrĩra niĩ ta kĩũma kĩa riitho rĩaku; hitha kĩĩruru-inĩ kĩa mathagu maku
9 From the face of the wicked who have afflicted me. My enemies have surrounded my soul:
ndigakorwo nĩ andũ arĩa aaganu arĩa maatharĩkagĩra, na kuuma kũrĩ thũ cia muoyo wakwa iria cindigiicĩirie.
10 They have shut up their fat: their mouth hath spoken proudly.
Nĩmahinganĩtie ngoro ciao nyũmũ, na tuo tũnua twao tũkaaria na mwĩgaatho.
11 They have cast me forth and now they have surrounded me: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth.
Maahĩtĩte, rĩu nĩmandigiicĩirie, mangũũrĩire maitho, mone mweke wa kũnũnda.
12 They have taken me, as a lion prepared for the prey; and as a young lion dwelling in secret places.
Mahaana ta mũrũũthi ũhũtĩire ndĩa yaguo, makahaana ta mũrũũthi mũnene woheirie kĩrĩa ũrenda kũnyiita.
13 Arise, O Lord, disappoint him and supplant him; deliver my soul from the wicked one: thy sword
Arahũka, Wee Jehova, mangʼethere, ũmahoote; ndeithũra na rũhiũ rwaku rwa njora kuuma kũrĩ andũ arĩa aaganu.
14 From the enemies of thy hand. O Lord, divide them from the few of the earth in their life: their belly is filled from thy hidden stores. They are full of children: and they have left to their little ones the rest of their substance.
Wee Jehova, honokia na guoko gwaku kuuma kũrĩ andũ ta acio, ũũhonokie kuuma kũrĩ andũ a thĩ ĩno arĩa irĩhi rĩao rĩrĩ o muoyo-inĩ ũyũ tũrĩ. Ũniinagĩra andũ arĩa wendete ngʼaragu ũkamahũũnia; ciana ciao irĩ na cia kũigana, na nĩmaigagĩra ciana cia ciana ciao mũthiithũ.
15 But as for me, I will appear before thy sight in justice: I shall be satisfied when thy glory shall appear.
Na niĩ-rĩ, nĩngeyonera ũthiũ waku na ũthingu; rĩrĩa ngokĩra-rĩ, nĩngaĩiganwo nĩgũkuona ũrĩa ũtariĩ.
