Psalms 35
1 BY DAVID. Strive, YHWH, with my strivers, fight with my fighters,
Thaburi ya Daudi Wee Jehova, hũũrana na arĩa marahũũrana na niĩ; rũa na arĩa mararũa na niĩ.
2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and rise for my help,
Oya ngo nene na gako kanini; arahũka ũũke ũndeithie.
3 And draw out spear and lance, To meet my pursuers. Say to my soul, “I [am] your salvation.”
Hiũria itimũ na mĩcengi, ũũkĩrĩre arĩa maathingatĩte. Ĩra ngoro yakwa atĩrĩ, “Niĩ nĩ niĩ ũhonokio waku.”
4 They are ashamed and blush, those seeking my soul, Turned backward and confounded, Those devising my evil.
Andũ arĩa mendaga kũnduta muoyo maroconorithio na maagithio gĩtĩĩo, arĩa mathugundaga kũnyũnũha marocookio na thuutha mamakĩte.
5 They are as chaff before wind, And a messenger of YHWH driving away.
Marohaana ta mahuti mombũrĩtwo nĩ rũhuho, na mũraika wa Jehova amaingatithĩtie;
6 Their way is darkness and slipperiness, And a messenger of YHWH—their pursuer.
njĩra yao ĩrogĩa nduma na ĩtendere, nake mũraika wa Jehova ahanyũkanie nao.
7 For without cause they hid their net [in] a pit for me, Without cause they dug for my soul.
Kuona atĩ nĩmahithĩire wabu wa kũndega hatarĩ gĩtũmi, na makanyenjera irima hatarĩ gĩtũmi,
8 Desolation meets him—he does not know, And his net that he hid catches him, He falls into it for desolation.
marokorererwo nĩ mwanangĩko matehaarĩirie, wabu ũcio manyambĩire ũromanyiita o ene, marogwa irima rĩu manyenjeire.
9 And my soul is joyful in YHWH, It rejoices in His salvation.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo ngoro yakwa ĩgaacanjamũka nĩ ũndũ wa Jehova, na ĩkenagĩre ũhonokio wake.
10 All my bones say, “YHWH, who is like You, Delivering the poor from the [one] stronger than he, And the poor and needy from his plunderer.”
Nĩngwanĩrĩra na ngoro yakwa yothe, njũũrie atĩrĩ, “Nũũ ũhaana tawe, Wee Jehova? O Wee ũhatũraga andũ arĩa athĩĩni harĩ arĩa marĩ hinya kũmakĩra, ũkahatũra athĩĩni na abatari harĩ arĩa mamatunyaga indo.”
11 Violent witnesses rise up, That which I have not known they ask me.
Nĩkuumĩrĩte aira a maheeni, makanjũũria ũhoro wa maũndũ itooĩ.
12 They pay me evil for good, bereaving my soul,
Wega wakwa mandĩhaga na ũũru, magatiga ngoro yakwa ĩrĩ na ihooru.
13 And I—in their sickness my clothing [is] sackcloth, I have humbled my soul with fastings, And my prayer returns to my bosom.
No rĩrĩa o maarĩ arũaru, niĩ ndehumbire nguo ya ikũnia, na ngĩĩnyiihia na ũndũ wa kwĩhinga kũrĩa irio. Rĩrĩa mahooya makwa maagire macookio-rĩ,
14 As [if] a friend, as [if] my brother, I habitually walked, As a mourner for a mother, I have bowed down mourning.
ndaikarire ngĩcakayaga, o taarĩ mũrata wakwa kana mũrũ wa maitũ ndaacakayagĩra. Ndethikĩire ndĩ na ihooru, o taarĩ mũndũ ũracakaĩra nyina.
15 And they have rejoiced in my halting, And have been gathered together, The strikers were gathered against me, And I have not known, They have torn, and they have not ceased;
No rĩrĩa ndahĩngirwo ngĩgwa, o moonganire hamwe mangenerere; atharĩkĩri makĩũngana maatharĩkĩre itekũmenya. Manjaambirie mategũtigithĩria.
16 With profane ones, mockers in feasts, Gnashing their teeth against me.
Maanyũrũragia ta andũ matooĩ Ngai, makaahagaranĩria magego mao.
17 Lord, how long do You behold? Keep my soul back from their desolations, My only one from young lions.
Wee Jehova-rĩ, nĩ nginya rĩ ũgũikara wĩroreire? Hatũra muoyo wakwa kuuma harĩ wanangi wao, ũhatũre muoyo wakwa wa goro kuuma harĩ mĩrũũthi ĩno.
18 I thank You in a great assembly, I praise You among a mighty people.
Nĩ niĩ ngũgũcookeria ngaatho kĩũngano-inĩ kĩrĩa kĩnene; ndĩkũgoocaga ndĩ gatagatĩ ka andũ aingĩ.
19 Do not let my enemies rejoice over me [with] falsehood, Those hating me without cause wink the eye.
Ndũkareke arĩa maathũire tũhũ mangũũrĩre maitho, mangenerere; kana acio maamenete hatarĩ gĩtũmi moinanĩre maitho.
20 For they do not speak peace, And against the quiet of the land, They devise deceitful words,
Matiaragia ndeto cia thayũ, no mathugundaga maũndũ ma maheeni, ma gũũkĩrĩra andũ arĩa maikaraga na thayũ bũrũri-inĩ.
21 And they enlarge their mouth against me, They said, “Aha, aha, our eye has seen.”
Manjathamagĩria tũnua twao makoiga atĩrĩ, “Haiya! Haiya! Maitho maitũ nĩmeyoneire ũguo.”
22 You have seen, O YHWH, Do not be silent, O Lord—do not be far from me,
Wee Jehova, nĩwĩoneire ũguo; tiga gũkira. Wee Mwathani-rĩ, ndũgaikare haraaya na niĩ.
23 Stir up, and wake to my judgment, My God, and my Lord, to my plea.
Arahũka, ũkĩra ũngitĩre! Hũũranĩra, Wee Ngai wakwa na Mwathani wakwa.
24 Judge me according to Your righteousness, O YHWH my God, And they do not rejoice over me.
Wee Jehova, nduĩra kũringana na ũthingu waku, Wee Ngai wakwa; ndũkareke mangũũrĩre maitho, mangenerere.
25 They do not say in their heart, “Aha, our desire.” They do not say, “We swallowed him up.”
Ndũkareke meciirie atĩrĩ, “Haiya, ũguo noguo tũrendaga gwĩkĩke!” Kana moige atĩrĩ, “Nĩtũmũmeretie.”
26 They are ashamed and confounded together, Who are rejoicing at my evil. They put on shame and confusion, Who are magnifying themselves against me.
Arĩa othe mangũũragĩra maitho mangenerere nĩ ũndũ wa mĩnyamaro yakwa maroconorithio na manyiitwo nĩ kĩrigiicano; arĩa othe metũũgagĩria igũrũ rĩakwa maroconorithio na maagithio gĩtĩĩo.
27 They sing and rejoice, who are desiring my righteousness, And they continually say, “YHWH is magnified, Who is desiring the peace of His servant.”
Arĩa makenaga ndaatuĩrwo ciira na kĩhooto, nĩmanĩrĩre na gĩkeno na gũcanjamũka; nĩmatũũre moigaga atĩrĩ, “Jehova arotũgĩrio, o we ũkenagĩra ũgaacĩru wa ndungata yake.”
28 And my tongue utters Your righteousness, All the day Your praise!
Rũrĩmĩ rwakwa rũrĩaragia ũhoro wa ũthingu waku, na ngũgoocage mũthenya wothe.
