Psalms 140

1 Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man;

Thaburi ya Daudi Wee Jehova, hatũra kuuma moko-inĩ ma andũ arĩa ooru; ngitĩra harĩ andũ arĩa mahũthagĩra ũhinya,

2 Which imagine evil in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war.

o acio mathugundaga maũndũ mooru ngoro-inĩ ciao, na magathugunda mbaara o mũthenya.

3 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders' poison is under their lips. (Selah)

Manooraga nĩmĩ ciao ikohĩga ta rũrĩmĩ rwa nyoka; mĩromo yao yaragia maũndũ marũrũ ta thumu wa nduĩra.

4 Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my activities.

Wee Jehova, njeheria moko-inĩ ma andũ arĩa aaganu; ngitĩra kuuma harĩ andũ arĩa mahũthagĩra ũhinya, o acio mabangaga ũrĩa mangĩhĩnga magũrũ makwa.

5 The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. (Selah)

Andũ arĩa etĩĩi nĩmanyambĩire mũtego; nĩmatambũrũkĩtie ndigi cia wabu wao, na makanjigĩra mĩtego njĩra-inĩ yakwa.

6 I said unto the LORD, You are my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD.

Wee Jehova, nguuga atĩrĩ, “Wee nĩwe Mũrungu wakwa.” Wee Jehova-rĩ, igua ngĩgũkaĩra nĩguo, ũnjiguĩre tha.

7 O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, you have covered my head in the day of battle.

Wee Mwathani Jehova, o Wee ũrĩa mũũhonokia ũrĩ hinya, Wee ũgitagĩra mũtwe wakwa mũthenya wa mbaara:

8 Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device; lest they exalt themselves. (Selah)

Wee Jehova, ndũkahingĩrie arĩa aaganu merirĩria mao, ndũkareke mĩbango yao ĩgaacĩre, matikae gwĩtĩĩa.

9 As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.

Mĩtwe ya arĩa mandigicĩirie ĩrohumbĩkanio na mathĩĩna marĩa marehetwo nĩ mĩromo yao.

10 Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again.

Marogwĩrwo nĩ makara me gwakana; maroikio mwaki-inĩ, maikio marima marĩ mũtondo, kũrĩa matakoima o na rĩ.

11 Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.

Ndũkanareke arĩa macambanagia magaacĩre bũrũri-inĩ; mwanangĩko ũrothingata andũ arĩa mahũthagĩra ũhinya.

12 I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and the right of the poor.

Niĩ nĩnjũũĩ atĩ Jehova nĩarũagĩra kĩhooto kĩa arĩa athĩĩni, na akagitĩra kĩhooto kĩa arĩa abatari.

13 Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto your name: the upright shall dwell in your presence.

Ti-itherũ arĩa athingu nĩmarĩgoocaga rĩĩtwa rĩaku, na arĩa arũngĩrĩru nĩmagatũũra ũthiũ-inĩ waku.
