Psalms 35
1 A Psalm of David. Strive, O LORD, with them that strive with me; fight against them that fight against me.
Thaburi ya Daudi Wee Jehova, hũũrana na arĩa marahũũrana na niĩ; rũa na arĩa mararũa na niĩ.
2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and rise up to my help.
Oya ngo nene na gako kanini; arahũka ũũke ũndeithie.
3 Draw out also the spear, and the battle-axe, against them that pursue me; say unto my soul: 'I am Thy salvation.'
Hiũria itimũ na mĩcengi, ũũkĩrĩre arĩa maathingatĩte. Ĩra ngoro yakwa atĩrĩ, “Niĩ nĩ niĩ ũhonokio waku.”
4 Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion that seek after my soul; let them be turned back and be abashed that devise my hurt.
Andũ arĩa mendaga kũnduta muoyo maroconorithio na maagithio gĩtĩĩo, arĩa mathugundaga kũnyũnũha marocookio na thuutha mamakĩte.
5 Let them be as chaff before the wind, the angel of the LORD thrusting them.
Marohaana ta mahuti mombũrĩtwo nĩ rũhuho, na mũraika wa Jehova amaingatithĩtie;
6 Let their way be dark and slippery, the angel of the LORD pursuing them.
njĩra yao ĩrogĩa nduma na ĩtendere, nake mũraika wa Jehova ahanyũkanie nao.
7 For without cause have they hid for me the pit, even their net, without cause have they digged for my soul.
Kuona atĩ nĩmahithĩire wabu wa kũndega hatarĩ gĩtũmi, na makanyenjera irima hatarĩ gĩtũmi,
8 Let destruction come upon him unawares; and let his net that he hath hid catch himself; with destruction let him fall therein.
marokorererwo nĩ mwanangĩko matehaarĩirie, wabu ũcio manyambĩire ũromanyiita o ene, marogwa irima rĩu manyenjeire.
9 And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD; it shall rejoice in His salvation.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo ngoro yakwa ĩgaacanjamũka nĩ ũndũ wa Jehova, na ĩkenagĩre ũhonokio wake.
10 All my bones shall say: 'LORD, who is like unto Thee, who deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him?'
Nĩngwanĩrĩra na ngoro yakwa yothe, njũũrie atĩrĩ, “Nũũ ũhaana tawe, Wee Jehova? O Wee ũhatũraga andũ arĩa athĩĩni harĩ arĩa marĩ hinya kũmakĩra, ũkahatũra athĩĩni na abatari harĩ arĩa mamatunyaga indo.”
11 Unrighteous witnesses rise up; they ask me of things that I know not.
Nĩkuumĩrĩte aira a maheeni, makanjũũria ũhoro wa maũndũ itooĩ.
12 They repay me evil for good; bereavement is come to my soul.
Wega wakwa mandĩhaga na ũũru, magatiga ngoro yakwa ĩrĩ na ihooru.
13 But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth, I afflicted my soul with fasting; and my prayer, may it return into mine own bosom.
No rĩrĩa o maarĩ arũaru, niĩ ndehumbire nguo ya ikũnia, na ngĩĩnyiihia na ũndũ wa kwĩhinga kũrĩa irio. Rĩrĩa mahooya makwa maagire macookio-rĩ,
14 I went about as though it had been my friend or my brother; I bowed down mournful, as one that mourneth for his mother.
ndaikarire ngĩcakayaga, o taarĩ mũrata wakwa kana mũrũ wa maitũ ndaacakayagĩra. Ndethikĩire ndĩ na ihooru, o taarĩ mũndũ ũracakaĩra nyina.
15 But when I halt they rejoice, and gather themselves together; the abjects gather themselves together against me, and those whom I know not; they tear me, and cease not;
No rĩrĩa ndahĩngirwo ngĩgwa, o moonganire hamwe mangenerere; atharĩkĩri makĩũngana maatharĩkĩre itekũmenya. Manjaambirie mategũtigithĩria.
16 With the profanest mockeries of backbiting they gnash at me with their teeth.
Maanyũrũragia ta andũ matooĩ Ngai, makaahagaranĩria magego mao.
17 Lord, how long wilt Thou look on? Rescue my soul from their destructions, mine only one from the lions.
Wee Jehova-rĩ, nĩ nginya rĩ ũgũikara wĩroreire? Hatũra muoyo wakwa kuuma harĩ wanangi wao, ũhatũre muoyo wakwa wa goro kuuma harĩ mĩrũũthi ĩno.
18 I will give Thee thanks in the great congregation; I will praise Thee among a numerous people.
Nĩ niĩ ngũgũcookeria ngaatho kĩũngano-inĩ kĩrĩa kĩnene; ndĩkũgoocaga ndĩ gatagatĩ ka andũ aingĩ.
19 Let not them that are wrongfully mine enemies rejoice over me; neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.
Ndũkareke arĩa maathũire tũhũ mangũũrĩre maitho, mangenerere; kana acio maamenete hatarĩ gĩtũmi moinanĩre maitho.
20 For they speak not peace; but they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land.
Matiaragia ndeto cia thayũ, no mathugundaga maũndũ ma maheeni, ma gũũkĩrĩra andũ arĩa maikaraga na thayũ bũrũri-inĩ.
21 Yea, they open their mouth wide against me; they say: 'Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it.'
Manjathamagĩria tũnua twao makoiga atĩrĩ, “Haiya! Haiya! Maitho maitũ nĩmeyoneire ũguo.”
22 Thou hast seen, O LORD; keep not silence; O Lord, be not far from me.
Wee Jehova, nĩwĩoneire ũguo; tiga gũkira. Wee Mwathani-rĩ, ndũgaikare haraaya na niĩ.
23 Rouse Thee, and awake to my judgment, even unto my cause, my God and my Lord.
Arahũka, ũkĩra ũngitĩre! Hũũranĩra, Wee Ngai wakwa na Mwathani wakwa.
24 Judge me, O LORD my God, according to Thy righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me.
Wee Jehova, nduĩra kũringana na ũthingu waku, Wee Ngai wakwa; ndũkareke mangũũrĩre maitho, mangenerere.
25 Let them not say in their heart: 'Aha, we have our desire'; let them not say: 'We have swallowed him up.'
Ndũkareke meciirie atĩrĩ, “Haiya, ũguo noguo tũrendaga gwĩkĩke!” Kana moige atĩrĩ, “Nĩtũmũmeretie.”
26 Let them be ashamed and abashed together that rejoice at my hurt; let them be clothed with shame and confusion that magnify themselves against me.
Arĩa othe mangũũragĩra maitho mangenerere nĩ ũndũ wa mĩnyamaro yakwa maroconorithio na manyiitwo nĩ kĩrigiicano; arĩa othe metũũgagĩria igũrũ rĩakwa maroconorithio na maagithio gĩtĩĩo.
27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that delight in my righteousness; yea, let them say continually: 'Magnified be the LORD, who delighteth in the peace of His servant.'
Arĩa makenaga ndaatuĩrwo ciira na kĩhooto, nĩmanĩrĩre na gĩkeno na gũcanjamũka; nĩmatũũre moigaga atĩrĩ, “Jehova arotũgĩrio, o we ũkenagĩra ũgaacĩru wa ndungata yake.”
28 And my tongue shall speak of Thy righteousness, and of Thy praise all the day.
Rũrĩmĩ rwakwa rũrĩaragia ũhoro wa ũthingu waku, na ngũgoocage mũthenya wothe.
