Psalms 140
1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme of David. Deliuer me, O Lord, from the euill man: preserue me from the cruel man:
Thaburi ya Daudi Wee Jehova, hatũra kuuma moko-inĩ ma andũ arĩa ooru; ngitĩra harĩ andũ arĩa mahũthagĩra ũhinya,
2 Which imagine euill things in their heart, and make warre continually.
o acio mathugundaga maũndũ mooru ngoro-inĩ ciao, na magathugunda mbaara o mũthenya.
3 They haue sharpened their tongues like a serpent: adders poyson is vnder their lips. (Selah)
Manooraga nĩmĩ ciao ikohĩga ta rũrĩmĩ rwa nyoka; mĩromo yao yaragia maũndũ marũrũ ta thumu wa nduĩra.
4 Keepe mee, O Lord, from the handes of the wicked: preserue mee from the cruell man, which purposeth to cause my steppes to slide.
Wee Jehova, njeheria moko-inĩ ma andũ arĩa aaganu; ngitĩra kuuma harĩ andũ arĩa mahũthagĩra ũhinya, o acio mabangaga ũrĩa mangĩhĩnga magũrũ makwa.
5 The proude haue layde a snare for me, and spred a nette with cordes in my pathway, and set grennes for me. (Selah)
Andũ arĩa etĩĩi nĩmanyambĩire mũtego; nĩmatambũrũkĩtie ndigi cia wabu wao, na makanjigĩra mĩtego njĩra-inĩ yakwa.
6 Therefore I saide vnto the Lord, Thou art my God: heare, O Lord, the voyce of my prayers.
Wee Jehova, nguuga atĩrĩ, “Wee nĩwe Mũrungu wakwa.” Wee Jehova-rĩ, igua ngĩgũkaĩra nĩguo, ũnjiguĩre tha.
7 O Lord God the strength of my saluation, thou hast couered mine head in the day of battel.
Wee Mwathani Jehova, o Wee ũrĩa mũũhonokia ũrĩ hinya, Wee ũgitagĩra mũtwe wakwa mũthenya wa mbaara:
8 Let not the wicked haue his desire, O Lord: performe not his wicked thought, least they be proude. (Selah)
Wee Jehova, ndũkahingĩrie arĩa aaganu merirĩria mao, ndũkareke mĩbango yao ĩgaacĩre, matikae gwĩtĩĩa.
9 As for the chiefe of them, that compasse me about, let the mischiefe of their owne lippes come vpon them.
Mĩtwe ya arĩa mandigicĩirie ĩrohumbĩkanio na mathĩĩna marĩa marehetwo nĩ mĩromo yao.
10 Let coles fal vpon them: let him cast them into the fire, and into the deepe pits, that they rise not.
Marogwĩrwo nĩ makara me gwakana; maroikio mwaki-inĩ, maikio marima marĩ mũtondo, kũrĩa matakoima o na rĩ.
11 For the backbiter shall not be established vpon the earth: euill shall hunt the cruell man to destruction.
Ndũkanareke arĩa macambanagia magaacĩre bũrũri-inĩ; mwanangĩko ũrothingata andũ arĩa mahũthagĩra ũhinya.
12 I know that the Lord will auenge the afflicted, and iudge the poore.
Niĩ nĩnjũũĩ atĩ Jehova nĩarũagĩra kĩhooto kĩa arĩa athĩĩni, na akagitĩra kĩhooto kĩa arĩa abatari.
13 Surely the righteous shall prayse thy Name, and the iust shall dwell in thy presence.
Ti-itherũ arĩa athingu nĩmarĩgoocaga rĩĩtwa rĩaku, na arĩa arũngĩrĩru nĩmagatũũra ũthiũ-inĩ waku.
