Psalms 44
1 For the end, a Psalm for instruction, for the sons of Core. O God, we have heard with our ears, our fathers have told us, the work which you wrought in their days, in the days of old.
Twanaigua na matũ maitũ Wee Ngai, tũkĩĩrwo nĩ maithe maitũ ũrĩa wekire matukũ-inĩ mao, o matukũ macio ma tene.
2 Your hand utterly destroyed the heathen, and you did plant them: you did afflict the nations, and cast them out.
Nĩwaingatire ndũrĩrĩ na guoko gwaku, na ũgĩcooka kũhaanda maithe maitũ kuo; Wee nĩwanyariirire irĩndĩ iria ingĩ, na ũgĩtũma maithe maitũ magaacĩre.
3 For they inherited not the land by their [own] sword, and their [own] arm did not deliver them; but your right hand, and your arm, and the light of your countenance, because you were well pleased in them.
Matiegwatĩire bũrũri ũcio na hinya wa rũhiũ rwao, o na ti icoka ciao ciamaheire ũhootani; no nĩ guoko gwaku kwa ũrĩo, ĩĩ nĩ gĩcoka gĩaku, na ũtheri wa gĩthiithi gĩaku, nĩgũkorwo nĩwamendete.
4 You are indeed my King and my God, who command deliverances for Jacob.
Wee nĩwe Mũthamaki wakwa na Ngai wakwa, ũrĩa wathagĩrĩra Jakubu ũhootani.
5 In you will we push down our enemies, and in your name will we bring to nothing them that rise up against us.
Wee nĩwe ũtũhotithagia kũhoota thũ ciitũ; nĩ ũndũ wa rĩĩtwa rĩaku tũrangagĩrĩria arĩa marĩ muku na ithuĩ.
6 For I will not trust in my bow, and my sword shall not save me.
Ndiĩhokaga ũta wakwa, rũhiũ rwakwa rwa njora ti ruo rũngĩĩhootanĩra;
7 For you have saved us from them that afflicted us, and have put to shame them that hated us.
no Wee nĩwe ũtũtooranagĩria harĩ thũ ciitũ, ũgagĩconorithia acio matũthũire.
8 In God will we make our boast all the day, and to your name will we give thanks for ever. (Pause)
Ngai nĩwe tũtindaga tũkĩĩrahĩra mũthenya wothe, na tũgũtũũra tũgoocaga rĩĩtwa rĩaku nginya tene.
9 But now you have cast off, and put us to shame; and you will not go forth with our hosts.
No rĩu nĩũtũtiganĩirie na ũgatũconorithia; nĩũtigĩte gũtwaranaga na mbũtũ ciitũ cia ita.
10 You have turned us back before our enemies; and they that hated us spoiled for themselves.
Nĩwatũmire tũũrĩre thũ ciitũ, o icio itũthũire igetahĩra indo ciitũ.
11 You made us as sheep for meat; and you scattered us among the nations.
Ũtũrekereirie tũtambuurwo ta ngʼondu, na ũgatũhurunja harĩ ndũrĩrĩ.
12 You have sold your people without price, and there was no profit by their exchange.
Wendetie andũ aku ta kĩndũ tũhũ, ndũrĩ uumithio wonete nĩ ũguo ũmendetie.
13 You have made us a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and derision them that are round about us.
Nĩũtũmĩte tũmenwo nĩ andũ arĩa tũhakanĩte nao, tũgatuĩka a kũnyararwo na gũthekererwo nĩ arĩa matũthiũrũrũkĩirie.
14 You have made us a proverb among the Gentiles, a shaking of the head among the nations.
Nĩũtũmĩte tũtuĩke a kuunagwo thimo nĩ ndũrĩrĩ; tũgagĩtuĩka a kũinainagĩrio mĩtwe nĩ andũ.
15 All the day my shame is before me, and the confusion of my face has covered me,
Ndindaga njonokete mũthenya wothe, ngahumbwo nĩ thoni ũthiũ wothe,
16 because of the voice of the slanderer and reviler; because of the enemy and avenger.
nĩ ũndũ wa inyũrũri cia andũ arĩa maanyũrũragia na makaanuma, tondũ wa thũ ĩrĩa ĩrenda kwĩrĩhĩria.
17 All these things are come upon us: but we have not forgotten you, neither have we dealt unrighteously in your covenant.
Twakorirwo nĩ maũndũ macio mothe, o na gũtuĩka tũtiariganĩirwo nĩwe, o na kana tũgĩthaahia kĩrĩkanĩro gĩaku.
18 And our heart has not gone back; but you have turned aside our paths from your way.
Ngoro ciitũ iticookete na thuutha; makinya maitũ matiumĩte njĩra-inĩ yaku.
19 For you have laid us low in a place of affliction, and the shadow of death has covered us.
No ũtũhehenjete, na ũgatũtua imamo cia mbwe, na ũgatũhumbĩra na nduma nene.
20 If we have forgotten the name of our God, and if we have spread out our hands to a strange god; shall not God search these things out?
Tũngĩkorwo nĩtwariganĩirwo nĩ rĩĩtwa rĩa Ngai witũ, o na kana tũkĩambararia moko kũrĩ ngai ngʼeni-rĩ,
21 for he knows the secrets of the heart.
githĩ Ngai ndangĩamenyire ũhoro ũcio, kuona atĩ nĩamenyaga hitho cia ngoro?
22 For, for your sake we are killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for slaughter.
No nĩ ũndũ waku tũtindaga tũngʼetheire gĩkuũ mũthenya wothe; tũtuĩtwo ta ngʼondu cia gũthĩnjwo.
23 Awake, therefore sleep you, O Lord? arise, and do not cast [us] off for ever.
Wee Mwathani, arahũka! Ũgĩkomete nĩkĩ? Wĩyarahũre! Ndũgatũtiganĩrie nginya tene.
24 Therefore turn you your face away, [and] forget our poverty and our affliction?
Ũhithĩte ũthiũ waku nĩkĩ, na ũkariganĩrwo nĩ mathĩĩna maitũ na kũhinyĩrĩrio gwitũ?
25 For our soul has been brought down to the dust; our belly has cleaved to the earth.
Tũrũndĩtwo rũkũngũ-inĩ; mĩĩrĩ iitũ ĩkĩnyiitanĩte na thĩ.
26 Arise, O Lord, help us, and redeem us for your name's sake.
Arahũka ũtũteithie; tũkũũre tondũ wa wendani waku ũtathiraga.
