Psalms 89
1 A psalm (maskil) of Ethan the Ezraite I will sing of the Lord's trustworthy love forever; I will tell all generations of your faithfulness.
Thaburi ya Ethani wa mbarĩ ya Ezara Ngũtũũra nyinaga ũhoro wa wendo mũnene wa Jehova nginya tene; ndĩrĩmenyithanagia wĩhokeku waku na kanua gakwa kũrĩ njiarwa na njiarwa.
2 For I have said, “Your unfailing love lasts forever; your faithfulness endures as long as the heavens.”
Nĩngumbũra atĩ wendo waku ũtũũraga ũrĩ mũrũmu nginya tene, nyumbũre atĩ wĩhokeku waku nĩũũhaandĩte o kũu igũrũ.
3 You said, “I have made an agreement with my chosen one, I gave a binding promise to my servant David:
Woigire atĩrĩ, “Nĩngĩte kĩrĩkanĩro na ũrĩa niĩ ndĩthuurĩire, na ngeehĩta na mwĩhĩtwa harĩ Daudi ndungata yakwa ngamwĩra atĩrĩ,
4 I will make sure your lineage lasts forever; I will keep your throne secure for all generations.” (Selah)
‘Nĩngatũma rũciaro rwaku rũtũũre rwĩhaandĩte nginya tene, na ndũme gĩtĩ gĩaku kĩa ũnene gĩtũũre kĩrĩ kĩrũmu njiarwa na njiarwa.’”
5 All the heavenly beings will sing of the wonderful things you have done, Lord; angels will gather to sing of your faithfulness.
Wee Jehova-rĩ, igũrũ nĩrĩkumagia magegania maku, na rĩkagaathĩrĩria wĩhokeku waku o naguo, kĩũngano-inĩ kĩa acio atheru.
6 For who in heaven can compare to the Lord? Who is like the Lord even among the angels?
Nĩ ũndũ-rĩ, kũu matu-inĩ igũrũ nũũ ũngĩgerekanio na Jehova? Nũũ ũkĩhaana ta Jehova harĩ ciũmbe iria irĩ igũrũ?
7 The heavenly council are in awe of God; all who surround him are overwhelmed by him.
Kĩama-inĩ kĩa acio atheru, Mũrungu nĩetigĩrĩtwo mũno; nĩ wa gwĩtigĩrwo gũkĩra arĩa othe mamũrigiicĩirie.
8 Lord God Almighty, who is as powerful as you? In all this, Lord, you are completely trustworthy.
Wee Jehova Ngai Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, nũũ ũkĩhaana tawe? Wee Jehova, nĩ ũrĩ hinya, na wĩhokeku waku ũtũũraga ũkũrigiicĩirie.
9 You rule the restless seas; you calm their stormy waves.
Nĩwe wathaga kĩhuhũkanio kĩa iria rĩrĩa inene; rĩrĩa makũmbĩ marĩo mookĩra na igũrũ, nĩũmahooreragia.
10 You crushed Rahab the sea-monster to death; by your power you scattered your enemies.
Wahehenjire Rahabu agĩtuĩka o ta ũmwe wa arĩa moragĩtwo; wahurunjire thũ ciaku na guoko gwaku kũrĩ hinya.
11 The heavens belong to you, and the earth too; you made the world and everything in it.
Igũrũ nĩ rĩaku, o na thĩ no yaku; Wee nĩwe wombire thĩ na kĩrĩa gĩothe kĩrĩ thĩinĩ wayo.
12 You created north and south; Mount Tabor and Mount Hermon celebrate you.
Nĩwe wombire mwena wa gathigathini na wa gũthini; Taboru na Herimoni ciinaga ikenete nĩ ũndũ wa rĩĩtwa rĩaku.
13 Your arm is powerful. Your hand is strong. Your right hand is held up high in command.
Gĩcoka gĩaku nĩ kĩrĩ ũhoti; guoko gwaku kũrĩ hinya, guoko gwaku kwa ũrĩo nĩgũtũgĩrie.
14 Your character of goodness and fairness is the basis for the way you rule; dependable love and trustworthiness are always with you.
Ũthingu na kĩhooto nĩcio mũthingi wa gĩtĩ gĩaku kĩa ũnene; wendo na wĩhokeku nĩigũtongoragia.
15 How happy are those who know how to shout your praises, Lord. They live in the light of your presence.
Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ andũ arĩa mooĩ gũkũgooca na nyĩmbo, o arĩa mathiiaga na ũtheri waku, Wee Jehova.
16 They celebrate the person you are all day long, so glad that you do what's right.
Makenagĩra rĩĩtwa rĩaku mũthenya wothe; magũtũũgagĩria nĩ ũndũ wa ũthingu waku.
17 They rely on you, their glory and strength; by your grace you lift us up.
Nĩgũkorwo Wee nĩwe riiri na hinya wao, na tondũ wa ũtugi waku nĩũtũũgagĩria rũhĩa rwitũ.
18 Yes, the Lord is the one who shields us, and our king belongs to the Holy One of Israel.
Ti-itherũ, ngo iitũ ĩrĩ na Jehova, mũthamaki witũ nĩ wa Ũrĩa-Mũtheru-wa-Isiraeli.
19 Once you spoke in a vision to your faithful servant and said, “I have given strength to the warrior I have chosen from the people to become king.
Hĩndĩ ĩmwe nĩwaririe na njĩra ya kĩoneki, ũkĩĩra andũ aku arĩa ehokeku atĩrĩ, “Nĩheete njamba ĩmwe ya ita hinya; nĩndũgĩrĩtie mwanake gatagatĩ ka andũ.
20 I have selected David my servant, and I have anointed him with the oil of my holiness.
Nĩndĩĩoneire Daudi ndungata yakwa; nĩndĩmũitĩrĩirie maguta makwa maamũre.
21 I have placed my hand on him to steady him; and I have made him strong by my powerful arm.
Guoko gwakwa nĩkũrĩmũtiiragĩrĩra; ti-itherũ gĩcoka gĩakwa nĩkĩrĩmwĩkagĩra hinya.
22 His enemies will not deceive him; the wicked will not bring him down.
Gũtirĩ thũ ĩkaamwĩtia igooti. gũtirĩ mũndũ mwaganu ũkaamũhinyĩrĩria.
23 I will wipe out his enemies before him; I will strike down those who hate him.
Nĩngahehenja thũ ciake mbere yake, na njũrage arĩa othe mamũthũire.
24 My trustworthiness and unfailing love will be with him, and through me he will be victorious.
Wendo wakwa wa kwĩhokeka ũrĩkoragwo hamwe nake, na nĩ ũndũ wa rĩĩtwa rĩakwa rũhĩa rwake nĩrũrĩtũũgagĩrio.
25 I will extend his rule from the Mediterranean Sea to the Euphrates River.
Nĩngatambũrũkia guoko gwake igũrũ rĩa iria, na guoko gwake kwa ũrĩo ndĩkũige igũrũ rĩa njũũĩ.
26 He will call out to me, ‘You are my Father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.’
Nĩakanjĩta anjĩĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Wee nĩwe Baba, na Mũrungu wakwa, o Rwaro rwa Ihiga, Mũhonokia wakwa.’
27 I will also make him my first-born son, the highest of the kings of the earth.
Ningĩ nĩngamwamũra atuĩke irigithathi rĩakwa, na ndũme atũũgĩrio gũkĩra athamaki a thĩ.
28 I will love him faithfully forever; my agreement with him shall never come to an end.
Nĩngũtũũria wendo wakwa harĩ we nginya tene, na kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa nake gĩtũũre kĩrĩ gĩa kwĩhokeka.
29 I will make sure his royal line lasts forever; his dynasty will continue as long as the heavens endure.
Nĩngahaanda rũciaro rwake nginya tene, na gĩtĩ gĩake kĩa ũnene ndĩkĩhaande rĩrĩa rĩothe igũrũ rĩgũtũũra.
30 But if his descendants abandon my laws, if they do not follow my rules,
“Ariũ ake mangĩgatirika watho wakwa na mage kũrũmĩrĩra kĩrĩra gĩakwa,
31 if they break my decrees, and do not keep my commandments,
mangĩgathũkia kĩrĩra kĩa watho wakwa wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo na mage kũmenyerera maathani makwa,
32 I will punish their rebellion by beating them with a rod, and their sin by lashing them with a whip.
nĩngaherithia wĩhia wao na rũthanju, herithie waganu wao na kũmahũũra iboko;
33 However, I will not take away my love from him; I will not break my promise to him.
no ndirĩ hĩndĩ ngaamwehereria wendo wakwa, o na kana thaahie wĩhokeku wakwa o na rĩ.
34 I will not annul the agreement I have with him; I will not alter a single word I've said.
Ndigathũkia kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa kana ngarũrĩre ũrĩa iromo ciakwa ciarĩtie.
35 By my holy character I have made a vow to David that I will not lie to him.
Nĩndĩhĩtĩte ngĩgwetaga ũtheru wakwa, rĩmwe rĩa kũigana, na ndirĩ hĩndĩ ngaaheenia Daudi,
36 His royal line will last forever, and his dynasty will continue before me as long as the sun endures.
atĩ rũciaro rwake rũgũtũũra nginya tene, na gĩtĩ gĩake kĩa ũnene gĩtũũre kĩrĩ kĩrũmu mbere yakwa ta riũa;
37 It will continue forever like the moon, an enduring witness in the heavens.” (Selah)
gĩgũtũũra kĩrĩ kĩrũmu nginya tene o ta mweri, mũira ũrĩa ũrĩ matu-inĩ nĩ mwĩhokeku.”
38 But you have rejected and abandoned him! You are angry with your chosen king!
No rĩrĩ, wee nĩũregete, na ũgatiganĩria, o na ũgakĩrakarĩra ũcio ũitĩrĩirie maguta.
39 You have broken the agreement you had with him; you have thrown his crown to the ground!
Wee nĩũkanĩte kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa ũrĩkanĩire na ndungata yaku, na ũkarangĩrĩria thũmbĩ yake rũkũngũ-inĩ.
40 You have torn down his defensive walls; you have ruined his fortresses.
Wee ũmomorete thingo ciake ciothe na ũkaananga ciĩhitho ciake iria cia hinya.
41 Everyone who passes by has robbed him; he has become an object of mockery to the nations nearby.
Ehĩtũkĩri othe nĩmatahĩte indo ciake; atuĩkĩte wa kũnyararwo nĩ andũ arĩa mariganĩtie nake.
42 You have made his enemies strong; you have made them celebrate their victory.
Wee nĩũtũũgĩrĩtie guoko kwa ũrĩo kwa arĩa mamũthũire; nĩũtũmĩte thũ ciake ciothe ikene.
43 You have repelled his sharp sword; you have not helped him in battle.
Ũũgĩ wa rũhiũ rwake rwa njora nĩũũhũndũrĩte, na ũkaaga kũmũteithĩrĩria mbaara-inĩ.
44 You took away his glory; you threw his throne to the ground.
Nĩũniinĩte riiri wake ũgathira, na ũgaikania gĩtĩ gĩake kĩa ũnene thĩ.
45 You have made him grow old before his time; you have totally humiliated him. (Selah)
Nĩũnyiihĩtie matukũ ma wĩthĩ wake; ũmũhumbĩte thoni o ta nguo.
46 How long, Lord? Will you hide yourself from us forever, your anger burning like fire?
Nĩ nginya rĩ, Wee Jehova? Ũgũtũũra wĩhithĩte nginya tene? Nĩ nginya rĩ mangʼũrĩ maku megũtũũra maakanĩte ta mwaki?
47 Remember me—my life is so short! Why did you bother creating futile humanity?
Ririkana ũrĩa mũtũũrĩre wakwa ũrĩ wa gũthira o narua. Kaĩ akĩrĩ ũndũ wa tũhũ watũmire ũmbe andũ othe!
48 There's no one who doesn't die—no one can save themselves from the power of the grave. (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
Nĩ mũndũ ũrĩkũ ũngĩtũũra muoyo na ndonane na gĩkuũ, kana ehonokie kuuma kũrĩ hinya wa mbĩrĩra? (Sheol h7585)
49 Where is the trustworthy love you used to have, Lord, that you faithfully promised to David?
Wee Mwathani, wendo waku mũnene ũrĩa wa tene ũkĩrĩ kũ, ũrĩa wehĩtire, ũkĩĩrĩra Daudi na ũndũ wa wĩhokeku waku?
50 Don't forget, Lord, how your servants are being humiliated! I'm burdened down with the insults of so many nations!
Mwathani, ririkana ũrĩa ndungata yaku ĩnyũrũrĩtio, na ũrĩa nyũmĩrĩirie irumi iria numĩtwo nĩ ndũrĩrĩ ciothe ngoro-inĩ yakwa,
51 Your enemies taunt me, Lord, mocking your king wherever he goes.
o irumi iria thũ ciaku iinyũrũrĩtie nacio, Wee Jehova, iria itũire inyũrũrĩtie makinya ma ũrĩa wee ũitĩrĩirie maguta nacio.
52 May the Lord be blessed for ever. Amen and amen.
Jehova arogoocwo nginya tene!
