Psalms 13

1 For the music director. A psalm of David. How long, Lord, are you going to forget me? Forever? How long will you turn away from me?

Thaburi ya Daudi Nĩ nginya rĩ, Wee Jehova? Ũgũtũũra ũriganĩirwo nĩ niĩ nginya tene? Nĩ nginya rĩ ũgũtũũra ũũhithĩte ũthiũ waku?

2 How long must I be in inner turmoil, feeling sad all day long? How long will my enemy be victorious over me?

Nĩ nginya rĩ ngũtũũra ngianaga na meciiria makwa, na o mũthenya ngoragwo na ihooru ngoro-inĩ yakwa? Nĩ nginya rĩ thũ yakwa ĩgũtũũra ĩĩhootaga?

3 Think about this, and answer me, Lord my God. Give me back my strength, otherwise I'm going to die,

Wee Jehova, Ngai wakwa, ndora na ũnjookerie ũhoro. Tũma maitho makwa mone, nĩguo ndikae gũkoma toro wa gĩkuũ;

4 and my enemy will say, “I defeated him!” and my opponents will celebrate my downfall.

nĩguo thũ yakwa ndĩkoige atĩrĩ, “Nĩndĩmũhootete,” nao arĩa marĩ muku na niĩ magĩkenere kũgũa gwakwa.

5 But I trust in your never-failing love, I will be happy because you save me.

No niĩ ndĩhokete wendo waku ũrĩa ũtathiraga; ngoro yakwa ĩkenagĩra ũhonokio waku.

6 I will sing to the Lord because he has treated me with such generosity!

Nĩngũinĩra Jehova, nĩgũkorwo nĩanjĩkĩte wega mũno.
