< Psalms 31 >
1 Unto the end, a psalm for David, in an ecstasy. In thee, O Lord, have I hoped, let me never be confounded: deliver me in thy justice.
Thaburi ya Daudi Wee Jehova, nĩ harĩwe njũrĩire; ndũkanareke njonorithio; nĩ ũndũ wa ũthingu waku-rĩ, ndeithũra.
2 Bow down thy ear to me: make haste to deliver me. Be thou unto me a God, a protector, and a house of refuge, to save me.
Ndegera gũtũ na ũhiũhe ũũke ũũhatũre; tuĩka rwaro rwakwa rwa ihiga rwa kũũrĩra, ũtuĩke gĩikaro kĩirigĩre na hinya, ũũhonokie.
3 For thou art my strength and my refuge; and for thy name’s sake thou wilt lead me, and nourish me.
Nĩgũkorwo Wee nĩwe Rwaro rwakwa rwa Ihiga na gĩikaro gĩakwa kĩirigĩre na hinya, nĩ ũndũ wa rĩĩtwa rĩaku, ndongoria na ũnyonie njĩra.
4 Thou wilt bring me out of this snare, which they have hidden for me: for thou art my protector.
Ndeithũkithia mũtego-inĩ ũrĩa nyambĩirwo, nĩgũkorwo nĩwe rĩũrĩro rĩakwa.
5 Into thy hands I commend my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O Lord, the God of truth.
Roho wakwa ndaũiga moko-inĩ maku; Wee Jehova, ngũũra, o Wee Mũrungu ũrĩa wa ma.
6 Thou hast hated them that regard vanities, to no purpose. But I have hoped in the Lord:
Nĩthũire arĩa mahooyaga ngai cia mĩhianano ĩtarĩ kĩene; niĩ ndĩhokete o Jehova.
7 I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy. For thou best regarded my humility, thou hast saved my soul out of distresses.
Niĩ nĩngũcanjamũka na ngenage nĩ ũndũ wa wendo waku, nĩgũkorwo nĩwonire mĩnyamaro yakwa, na ũkĩmenya ruo rũnene rwa ngoro yakwa.
8 And thou hast not shut me up in the hands of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a spacious place.
Ndũũneanĩte kũrĩ thũ, no nĩũkinyithĩtie magũrũ makwa handũ haariĩ.
9 Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am afflicted: my eye is troubled with wrath, my soul, and my belly:
Njiguĩra tha, Wee Jehova, nĩgũkorwo ndĩ mũnyamarĩku; maitho makwa nĩmaroorwo nĩ hinya nĩ ũndũ wa kĩeha, ngoro yakwa na mwĩrĩ wakwa ikoorwo nĩ hinya nĩ ũndũ wa ihooru.
10 For my life is wasted with grief: and my years in sighs. My strength is weakened through poverty and my bones are disturbed.
Muoyo wakwa nĩũniinĩtwo nĩ ruo rũnene, na mĩaka yakwa ĩkaniinwo nĩ gũcaaya; nĩnjũrĩtwo nĩ hinya nĩ ũndũ wa mĩnyamaro yakwa, namo mahĩndĩ makwa makaaga hinya.
11 I am become a reproach among all my enemies, and very much to my neighbours; and a fear to my acquaintance. They that saw me without fled from me.
Nĩ ũndũ wa thũ ciakwa ciothe, nduĩkĩte wa kũnyararwo nĩ andũ a itũũra rĩakwa; nduĩkĩte kĩndũ gĩa gwĩtigĩrwo nĩ arata akwa, nao arĩa maanyona njĩra-inĩ nĩ kũũra moraga.
12 I am forgotten as one dead from the heart. I am become as a vessel that is destroyed.
Nĩmariganĩirwo nĩ niĩ o ta mũndũ ũkuĩte; ngakĩhaana o ta nyũngũ nguũ.
13 For I have heard the blame of many that dwell round about. While they assembled together against me, they consulted to take away my life.
Nĩgũkorwo nĩndĩraigua njambanio ya andũ aingĩ; guoya mũnene ũkĩnyumaga na mĩena yothe; marathugunda manjĩke ũũru, makagĩa ndundu ya ũrĩa mangĩnjũraga.
14 But I have put my trust in thee, O Lord: I said: Thou art my God.
No niĩ nĩwe ndĩhokete, Wee Jehova, ngoiga atĩrĩ, “Wee nĩwe Ngai wakwa.”
15 My lots are in thy hands. Deliver me out of the hands of my enemies; and from them that persecute me.
Mahinda makwa marĩ moko-inĩ maku; ndeithũra kuuma kũrĩ thũ ciakwa, na kuuma kũrĩ arĩa maathingataga.
16 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; save me in thy mercy.
Tũma ũthiũ waku warĩre ndungata yaku; honokia nĩ ũndũ wa wendo waku ũtathiraga.
17 Let me not be confounded, O Lord, for I have called upon thee. Let the wicked be ashamed, and be brought down to hell. (Sheol )
Wee Jehova, ndũkareke njonorithio, nĩgũkorwo nĩwe ngayagĩra; no andũ arĩa aaganu ũreke maconorithio na makome mbĩrĩra-inĩ makirĩte ki. (Sheol )
18 Let deceitful lips be made dumb. Which speak iniquity against the just, with pride and abuse.
Tũma mĩromo yao ya kũheenania ĩkirio, nĩgũkorwo maaragia na mwĩtĩĩo na kĩnyararo, maaragia na mwĩgaatho magookĩrĩra andũ arĩa athingu.
19 O how great is the multitude of thy sweetness, O Lord, which thou hast hidden for them that fear thee! Which thou hast wrought for them that hope in thee, in the sight of the sons of men.
Kaĩ wega waku ũrĩa ũigĩire arĩa magwĩtigĩrĩte, nĩ mũingĩ-ĩ, o wega ũrĩa ũheaga andũ arĩa moragĩra harĩwe andũ othe makĩonaga.
20 Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy face, from the disturbance of men. Thou shalt protect them in thy tabernacle from the contradiction of tongues.
Ũmahithaga harĩa Wee ũrĩ o harĩa hegitĩtie, kuuma kũrĩ arĩa mamaciiragĩra kũmeka ũũru; ũmaigaga gĩikaro-inĩ gĩaku, ũkamagitĩra harĩ nĩmĩ iria icambanagia.
21 Blessed be the Lord, for he hath shewn his wonderful mercy to me in a fortified city.
Jehova arogoocwo, nĩgũkorwo nĩanyonirie wendo wake wa magegania rĩrĩa ndaarĩ itũũra inene rĩrigiicĩirio nĩ thũ.
22 But I said in the excess of my mind: I am cast away from before thy eyes. Therefore thou hast heard the voice of my prayer, when I cried to thee.
Rĩrĩa ndaarĩ mũmaku, ndoigire atĩrĩ, “Nĩnjeheretio maitho-inĩ maku!” No nĩwaiguire ngĩgũthaitha ũnjiguĩre tha, rĩrĩa ndagũkaĩire ũndeithie.
23 O love the Lord, all ye his saints: for the Lord will require truth, and will repay them abundantly that act proudly.
Endai Jehova inyuĩ andũ ake aamũre! Jehova nĩamenyagĩrĩra arĩa ehokeku, no ũrĩa mwĩtĩĩi amũrĩhaga o ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire.
24 Do ye manfully, and let your heart be strengthened, all ye that hope in the Lord.
Gĩai na hinya na mwĩyũmĩrĩrie ngoro, inyuĩ inyuothe arĩa mwĩhokete Jehova.
