Psalms 116
1 Alleluia. I am well pleased, because the Lord will listen to the voice of my supplication.
Nĩnyendete Jehova, nĩgũkorwo nĩaiguĩte mũgambo wakwa; nĩaiguire ngĩmũthaitha anjiguĩre tha.
2 Because he has inclined his ear to me, therefore will I call upon him while I live.
Tondũ nĩathikĩrĩirie-rĩ, ndĩrĩmũkayagĩra rĩrĩa rĩothe ngũtũũra muoyo.
3 The pangs of death compassed me; the dangers of hell found me: I found affliction and sorrow. (Sheol h7585)
Ndarigiicĩirio nĩ mĩhĩndo ya gĩkuũ, ngĩkinyĩrĩrwo nĩ ruo rwa mbĩrĩra; ngĩhootwo nĩ mĩtangĩko o na kĩeha. (Sheol h7585)
4 Then I called on the name of the Lord: O Lord, deliver my soul.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo ngĩkaĩra rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova, ngĩmwĩra atĩrĩ: “Wee Jehova, honokia!”
5 The Lord is merciful and righteous; yes, our God has pity.
Jehova nĩ mũtugi na nĩ mũthingu; Ngai witũ aiyũrĩtwo nĩ tha.
6 The Lord preserves the simple: I was brought low, and he delivered me.
Jehova nĩagitagĩra andũ arĩa matarĩ oogĩ; rĩrĩa ndahinyĩrĩirio mũno, nĩahonokirie.
7 Return to your rest, O my soul; for the Lord has dealt bountifully with you.
Wee ngoro yakwa-rĩ, cookerera ũhurũko waku, nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩagwĩkĩte wega.
8 For he has delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.
Nĩgũkorwo Wee Jehova nĩũhonoketie muoyo wakwa kuuma kũrĩ gĩkuũ, namo maitho makwa ũkamagiria maithori, na ũkagiria magũrũ makwa mahĩngwo,
9 I shall be well-pleasing before the Lord in the land of the living.
nĩgeetha thiiage ndĩ mbere ya Jehova bũrũri-inĩ wa arĩa marĩ muoyo.
10 Alleluia. I believed, therefore I have spoken: but I was greatly afflicted.
No ndetĩkirie ũhoro wake; nĩ ũndũ ũcio ndoigire atĩrĩ, “Nĩthĩĩnĩkĩte mũno.”
11 And I said in mine amazement, Every man is a liar.
Nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa ndamakĩte, ngiuga atĩrĩ, “Andũ othe nĩ a maheeni.”
12 What shall I render to the Lord for all the things wherein he has rewarded me?
Nĩ kĩĩ ingĩthukĩra Jehova nakĩo nĩ ũndũ wa wega wake wothe ũrĩa anjĩkĩte?
13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord.
Nĩkuoya nguoya gĩkombe kĩa ũhonokio na igũrũ, ngaĩre rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova.
14 I will pay my vows to the Lord, in the presence of all his people.
Nĩngũhingĩria Jehova mĩĩhĩtwa ĩrĩa ndehĩtire, andũ ake othe marĩ ho.
15 Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.
Andũ arĩa athingu marĩ bata mũno harĩ Jehova, nĩ ũndũ ũcio ndakenaga rĩrĩa makua o ro ũguo.
16 O Lord, I am your servant; I am your servant, and the son of your handmaid: you have burst by bonds asunder.
Wee Jehova, ti-itherũ niĩ ndĩ ndungata yaku; niĩ ndĩ ndungata yaku, mũriũ wa ndungata yaku ya mũndũ-wa-nja; wee nĩũnjohorithĩtie mĩnyororo-inĩ.
17 I will offer to you the sacrifice of praise, and will call upon the name of the Lord.
Nĩngũkũrutĩra igongona rĩa gũgũcookeria ngaatho, na ngaĩre rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova.
18 I will pay my vows to the Lord, in the presence of all his people,
Nĩngũhingĩria Jehova mĩĩhĩtwa ĩrĩa ndehĩtire andũ ake othe marĩ ho,
19 in the courts of the Lord's house, in the midst of you, Jerusalem.
kũu nja-inĩ cia nyũmba ya Jehova, o thĩinĩ waku, wee Jerusalemu. Goocai Jehova.
