Psalms 34
1 For David, when he changed his countenance before Achimelech, who dismissed him, and he went his way. I will bless the Lord at all times, his praise shall be always in my mouth.
Thaburi ya Daudi Ndĩrĩkumagia Jehova hĩndĩ ciothe; ndĩrĩmũgoocaga na kanua gakwa hĩndĩ ciothe.
2 In the Lord shall my soul be praised: let the meek hear and rejoice.
Ngoro yakwa nĩ Jehova ĩrĩĩrahaga; arĩa anyamaarĩku marĩiguaga ũguo magakena.
3 O magnify the Lord with me; and let us extol his name together.
Goocai Jehova mũmũnenehie mũrĩ hamwe na niĩ; rekei tũtũũgĩrie rĩĩtwa rĩake tũrĩ hamwe.
4 I sought the Lord, and he heard me; and he delivered me from all my troubles.
Ndarongoririe Jehova, nake akĩnjĩtĩka, akĩndeithũra kuuma kũrĩ maũndũ marĩa mothe maanjĩkagĩra guoya.
5 Come ye to him and be enlightened: and your faces shall not be confounded.
Andũ arĩa mamũcũthagĩrĩria matheragĩrwo nĩ ũtheri; mothiũ mao gũtirĩ hĩndĩ magaaconorithio.
6 This poor man cried, and the Lord 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 the Lord shall encamp round about them that fear him: and shall deliver them.
Mũraika wa Jehova aikaraga arangĩire arĩa othe mamwĩtigagĩra, na akamateithũra othe.
8 O taste, and see that the Lord is sweet: blessed is the man that hopeth in him.
Camai muone atĩ Jehova nĩ mwega; kũrathimwo nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa ũragĩra harĩ we.
9 Fear the Lord, all 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 rich have wanted, and have suffered hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not be deprived of any good.
Mĩrũũthi no yage gĩa kũrĩa ĩhũte, no arĩa marongoragia Jehova gũtirĩ kĩndũ kĩega maagaga.
11 Come, children, hearken to me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
Ũkai ciana ciakwa, mũthikĩrĩrie ũrĩa nguuga; nĩngũmũruta gwĩtigĩra Jehova.
12 Who is the man that desireth life: who loveth to see good days?
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 Turn away from evil and do good: seek after peace and pursue it.
Garũrũka utige gwĩka ũũru na wĩke ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire; caragia thayũ na ũũthingatage.
15 The eyes of the Lord are upon the just: and his ears unto their prayers.
Maitho ma Jehova macũthagĩrĩria andũ arĩa athingu, na matũ make magathikĩrĩria kĩrĩro kĩao;
16 But the countenance of the Lord is against them that do evil things: to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
ũthiũ wa Jehova ũũkagĩrĩra andũ arĩa mekaga ũũru, nĩguo moima thĩ matikanaririkanwo.
17 The just cried, and the Lord heard them: and delivered them out of all their troubles.
Andũ arĩa athingu makayaga, Jehova akamaigua; amateithũraga kuuma mathĩĩna-inĩ mao mothe.
18 The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a contrite heart: and he will save the humble of spirit.
Jehova akoragwo arĩ hakuhĩ na andũ arĩa ahehenjeku ngoro, na akahonokia arĩa athuthĩku roho.
19 Many are the afflictions of the just; but out of them all will the Lord deliver them.
Mũndũ ũrĩa mũthingu no akorwo arĩ na mathĩĩna maingĩ, no Jehova amũteithũraga harĩ mo mothe;
20 The Lord keepeth all their bones, not one of them shall be broken.
agitagĩra mahĩndĩ make mothe, gũtirĩ o na rĩmwe rĩngiunĩka.
21 The death of the wicked is very evil: and they that hate the just shall be guilty.
Andũ arĩa aaganu makooragwo nĩ ũũru; nao arĩa mathũire andũ arĩa athingu nĩmagatuĩrwo ciira.
22 The Lord will redeem the souls of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall offend.
Jehova akũũraga ndungata ciake; arĩa othe moragĩra harĩ we gũtirĩ ũgaatuĩrwo ciira.
