Psalms 35
1 Plead my cause, O Yhwh, 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 stand up for mine help.
Oya ngo nene na gako kanini; arahũka ũũke ũndeithie.
3 Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that persecute 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 confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion 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: and let the angel of Yhwh chase them.
Marohaana ta mahuti mombũrĩtwo nĩ rũhuho, na mũraika wa Jehova amaingatithĩtie;
6 Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of Yhwh persecute them.
njĩra yao ĩrogĩa nduma na ĩtendere, nake mũraika wa Jehova ahanyũkanie nao.
7 For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without cause they have digged for my soul.
Kuona atĩ nĩmahithĩire wabu wa kũndega hatarĩ gĩtũmi, na makanyenjera irima hatarĩ gĩtũmi,
8 Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that he hath hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall.
marokorererwo nĩ mwanangĩko matehaarĩirie, wabu ũcio manyambĩire ũromanyiita o ene, marogwa irima rĩu manyenjeire.
9 And my soul shall be joyful in Yhwh: 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, Yhwh, who is like unto thee, which 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 False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge things that I knew not.
Nĩkuumĩrĩte aira a maheeni, makanjũũria ũhoro wa maũndũ itooĩ.
12 They rewarded me evil for good to the spoiling of 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 humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned 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 behaved myself as though he had been my friend or brother: I bowed down heavily, 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 in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: yea, the abjects gathered themselves together against me, and I knew it not; they did tear me, and ceased not:
No rĩrĩa ndahĩngirwo ngĩgwa, o moonganire hamwe mangenerere; atharĩkĩri makĩũngana maatharĩkĩre itekũmenya. Manjaambirie mategũtigithĩria.
16 With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon 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, my darling 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 much people.
Nĩ niĩ ngũgũcookeria ngaatho kĩũngano-inĩ kĩrĩa kĩnene; ndĩkũgoocaga ndĩ gatagatĩ ka andũ aingĩ.
19 Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully 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 opened their mouth wide against me, and said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it.
Manjathamagĩria tũnua twao makoiga atĩrĩ, “Haiya! Haiya! Maitho maitũ nĩmeyoneire ũguo.”
22 This thou hast seen, O Yhwh: keep not silence: O Lord, be not far from me.
Wee Jehova, nĩwĩoneire ũguo; tiga gũkira. Wee Mwathani-rĩ, ndũgaikare haraaya na niĩ.
23 Stir up thyself, 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 Yhwh 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 hearts, Ah, so would we have it: 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 brought to confusion together that rejoice at mine hurt: let them be clothed with shame and dishonour 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 favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let Yhwh be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity 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 long.
Rũrĩmĩ rwakwa rũrĩaragia ũhoro wa ũthingu waku, na ngũgoocage mũthenya wothe.
