Psalms 129

1 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:

Thaburi ya Agendi Maanahinyĩrĩria mũno kuuma ũnini-inĩ wakwa, Isiraeli nĩmakiuge ũguo,

2 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me.

maanahinyĩrĩria mũno kuuma ũnini-inĩ wakwa, no rĩrĩ, matirĩ maahota kũndooria.

3 The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.

Andũ arĩa marĩmaga na mũraũ marĩmĩte ngʼongʼo wakwa, magatema mĩtaro mĩraihu.

4 The LORD is righteous: he has cut asunder the cords of the wicked.

No rĩrĩ, Jehova nĩ mũthingu; nĩanjohorithĩtie harĩ mĩhĩndo ya andũ arĩa aaganu.

5 Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.

Andũ arĩa othe mathũire Zayuni marocookio na thuutha maconokete.

6 Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withers before it grows up:

Marohaana ta nyeki ĩrĩ nyũmba igũrũ, ĩrĩa ĩhoohaga ĩtanamera;

7 Wherewith the mower fills not his hand; nor he that binds sheaves his bosom.

mũmĩtui ndangĩmĩiyũria hĩ-inĩ ciake, o na kana ũrĩa ũmĩũnganagia amĩiyũrie moko-inĩ make.

8 Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the LORD be upon you: we bless you in the name of the LORD.

Andũ arĩa mahĩtũkagĩra kuo maroaga kuuga atĩrĩ, “Kĩrathimo kĩa Jehova kĩrogĩa igũrũ rĩanyu; nĩtwamũrathima thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova.”
