< Psalms 132 >

1 Lord, remember David, and all his afflictions:
Thaburi ya Agendi Wee Jehova, ririkana Daudi na mathĩĩna marĩa mothe omĩrĩirie.
2 How he swore unto the LORD, and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob;
Nĩehĩtire mwĩhĩtwa harĩ Jehova, akĩĩhĩta harĩ ũcio Mwene-Hinya, o we Ngai wa Jakubu, akiuga ũũ:
3 Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed;
“Ndigatoonya nyũmba yakwa, kana haice ũrĩrĩ wakwa,
4 I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids,
ndikaareke maitho makwa mone toro, kana ndeke imone ciakwa icũnge,
5 Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob.
o nginya ngoonera Jehova handũ ha gũikara, ũcio Mwene-Hinya, o we Ngai wa Jakubu, ndĩmuonere gĩikaro.”
6 Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood.
Nĩtwaiguire ũhoro tũrĩ Efiratha, na tũkĩũkora mĩgũnda-inĩ ya Kiriathu Jearimu.
7 We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool.
Tũkiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩtũthiĩi gĩikaro-inĩ gĩake; nĩtũinamĩrĩre tũmũhooe tũrĩ gaturwa-inĩ ka makinya make;
8 Arise, O LORD, into your rest; you, and the ark of your strength.
arahũka, Wee Jehova, ũũke kĩhurũko-inĩ gĩaku, wee na ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro rĩa hinya waku.
9 Let your priests be clothed with righteousness; and let your saints shout for joy.
Athĩnjĩri aku marohumbwo na ũthingu; andũ aku aamũre nĩmakĩine nĩ gũkena.”
10 For your servant David's sake turn not away the face of your anointed.
Nĩ ũndũ wa ndungata yaku Daudi, ndũkarega ũrĩa we ũitĩrĩirie maguta.
11 The LORD has sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of your body will I set upon your throne.
Jehova nĩehĩtire na mwĩhĩtwa harĩ Daudi, mwĩhĩtwa atangĩĩricũkwo, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ: “Nĩngaikarĩria ũmwe wa rũciaro rwaku Gĩtĩ-inĩ gĩaku kĩa ũnene,
12 If your children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon your throne for evermore.
ariũ aku mangĩkaamenyerera kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa na mawatho makwa marĩa ndĩrĩmarutaga, hĩndĩ ĩyo ariũ ao nĩmagaikarĩra gĩtĩ gĩaku kĩa ũnene nginya tene na tene.”
13 For the LORD has chosen Zion; he has desired it for his habitation.
Nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩathuurĩte Zayuni, akerirĩria gũtuĩke gĩikaro gĩake, akoiga atĩrĩ:
14 This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.
“Gĩkĩ nĩkĩo kĩhurũko gĩakwa nginya tene na tene; gũkũ nĩkuo ngũtũũra njikarĩire gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene, nĩgũkorwo nĩ niĩ ndĩyendeire;
15 I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.
nĩngakũrathima na ũmaathi mũingĩ mũno; athĩĩni akuo ndĩmahũũnie na irio.
16 I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.
Nĩngahumba athĩnjĩri-Ngai akuo ũhonokio, na andũ akuo arĩa aamũre matũũre mainaga nĩ gũkena.
17 There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.
“Kũu nĩkuo ngaatũma rũhĩa rwa Daudi rũthundũke na njigĩre ũrĩa njitĩrĩirie maguta tawa ũgwakana.
18 His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish.
Thũ ciake nĩngacihumba thoni, no thũmbĩ ya ũnene ĩrĩa ĩrĩ mũtwe wake nĩĩgakenga na riiri.”
