Psalms 16
1 Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.
Thaburi ya Daudi Wee Mũrungu, ngitagĩra, nĩgũkorwo nĩ harĩwe njũragĩra.
2 O my soul, thou hast said unto Yhwh, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;
Ndeerire Jehova atĩrĩ, “Wee nĩwe Mwathani wakwa; hatirĩ ũndũ mwega ingĩona ũtoimĩte harĩwe.”
3 But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.
Ha ũhoro wa andũ arĩa aamũre arĩa marĩ bũrũri-inĩ, acio nĩo andũ arĩa marĩ riiri, na nĩo ngenagĩra mũno.
4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.
Andũ arĩa matengʼeragĩra ngai ingĩ-rĩ, kĩeha kĩao nĩgĩkaingĩha. Ndirĩ hĩndĩ ngarutĩra ngai icio magongona ma gũita thakame, o na kana ngwete marĩĩtwa maacio na mĩromo yakwa.
5 Yhwh is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.
Jehova nĩwe ũnjigĩire rwĩga rwakwa, na gĩkombe gĩakwa; Wee nĩwe ũgitagĩra igai rĩakwa.
6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
Ũnjatũrĩire ithaka kũndũ kũrĩa kwega; ti-itherũ igai rĩakwa nĩrĩngenagia mũno.
7 I will bless Yhwh, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.
Nĩngũgooca Jehova, ũrĩa ũũheaga kĩrĩra; o na ũtukũ ngoro yakwa nĩĩndaaraga.
8 I have set Yhwh always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
Jehova akoragwo arĩ mbere yakwa hĩndĩ ciothe. Tondũ arĩ guoko-inĩ gwakwa kwa ũrĩo-rĩ, ndingĩenyenyeka.
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngoro yakwa nĩnjanjamũku, na rũrĩmĩ rwakwa rũgakena; o naguo mwĩrĩ wakwa nĩ ũgaatũũra ũrĩ na thayũ,
10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
tondũ ndũkandiganĩria mbĩrĩra-inĩ, o na kana ũreke Ũrĩa-waku-Mũtheru abuthe. (Sheol h7585)
11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
Nĩũũmenyithĩtie njĩra ya gũthiĩ muoyo-inĩ; nĩũkanjiyũria gĩkeno ndĩ harĩa ũrĩ, hamwe na mwago wa tene na tene ndĩ guoko-inĩ gwaku kwa ũrĩo.
