Psalms 31
1 For the Leader. A Psalm of David. In thee, O LORD, have I taken refuge; let me never be ashamed; deliver me in Thy righteousness.
Thaburi ya Daudi Wee Jehova, nĩ harĩwe njũrĩire; ndũkanareke njonorithio; nĩ ũndũ wa ũthingu waku-rĩ, ndeithũra.
2 Incline Thine ear unto me, deliver me speedily; be Thou to me a rock of refuge, even a fortress of defence, 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 rock and my fortress; therefore for Thy name's sake lead me and guide me.
Nĩgũkorwo Wee nĩwe Rwaro rwakwa rwa Ihiga na gĩikaro gĩakwa kĩirigĩre na hinya, nĩ ũndũ wa rĩĩtwa rĩaku, ndongoria na ũnyonie njĩra.
4 Bring me forth out of the net that they have hidden for me; for Thou art my stronghold.
Ndeithũkithia mũtego-inĩ ũrĩa nyambĩirwo, nĩgũkorwo nĩwe rĩũrĩro rĩakwa.
5 Into Thy hand I commit my spirit; Thou hast redeemed me, O LORD, Thou God of truth.
Roho wakwa ndaũiga moko-inĩ maku; Wee Jehova, ngũũra, o Wee Mũrungu ũrĩa wa ma.
6 I hate them that regard lying vanities; but I trust in the LORD.
Nĩthũire arĩa mahooyaga ngai cia mĩhianano ĩtarĩ kĩene; niĩ ndĩhokete o Jehova.
7 I will be glad and rejoice in Thy lovingkindness; for Thou hast seen mine affliction, Thou hast taken cognizance of the troubles of my soul,
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 given me over into the hand of the enemy; Thou hast set my feet in a broad place.
Ndũũneanĩte kũrĩ thũ, no nĩũkinyithĩtie magũrũ makwa handũ haariĩ.
9 Be gracious unto me, O LORD, for I am in distress; mine eye wasteth away with vexation, yea, my soul and my body.
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 spent in sorrow, and my years in sighing; my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are wasted away.
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 Because of all mine adversaries I am become a reproach, yea, unto my neighbours exceedingly, and a dread to mine acquaintance; they that see me without flee 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 a dead man out of mind; I am like a useless vessel.
Nĩmariganĩirwo nĩ niĩ o ta mũndũ ũkuĩte; ngakĩhaana o ta nyũngũ nguũ.
13 For I have heard the whispering of many, terror on every side; while they took counsel together against me, they devised 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 as for me, I have trusted in Thee, O LORD; I have said: 'Thou art my God.'
No niĩ nĩwe ndĩhokete, Wee Jehova, ngoiga atĩrĩ, “Wee nĩwe Ngai wakwa.”
15 My times are in Thy hand; deliver me from the hand of mine 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 lovingkindness.
Tũma ũthiũ waku warĩre ndungata yaku; honokia nĩ ũndũ wa wendo waku ũtathiraga.
17 O LORD, let me not be ashamed, for I have called upon Thee; let the wicked be ashamed, let them be put to silence in the nether-world. (Sheol h7585)
Wee Jehova, ndũkareke njonorithio, nĩgũkorwo nĩwe ngayagĩra; no andũ arĩa aaganu ũreke maconorithio na makome mbĩrĩra-inĩ makirĩte ki. (Sheol h7585)
18 Let the lying lips be dumb, which speak arrogantly against the righteous, with pride and contempt.
Tũma mĩromo yao ya kũheenania ĩkirio, nĩgũkorwo maaragia na mwĩtĩĩo na kĩnyararo, maaragia na mwĩgaatho magookĩrĩra andũ arĩa athingu.
19 Oh how abundant is Thy goodness, which Thou hast laid up for them that fear Thee; which Thou hast wrought for them that take their refuge 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 hidest them in the covert of Thy presence from the plottings of man; Thou concealest them in a pavilion from the strife 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 shown me His wondrous lovingkindness in an entrenched city.
Jehova arogoocwo, nĩgũkorwo nĩanyonirie wendo wake wa magegania rĩrĩa ndaarĩ itũũra inene rĩrigiicĩirio nĩ thũ.
22 As for me, I said in my haste: 'I am cut off from before Thine eyes'; nevertheless Thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto 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 godly ones; the LORD preserveth the faithful, and plentifully repayeth him that acteth haughtily.
Endai Jehova inyuĩ andũ ake aamũre! Jehova nĩamenyagĩrĩra arĩa ehokeku, no ũrĩa mwĩtĩĩi amũrĩhaga o ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire.
24 Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all ye that wait for the LORD.
Gĩai na hinya na mwĩyũmĩrĩrie ngoro, inyuĩ inyuothe arĩa mwĩhokete Jehova.
