Psalms 69
1 TO THE OVERSEER. [SET] ON “LILIES.” BY DAVID. Save me, O God, for waters have come to the soul.
Thaburi ya Daudi Wee Ngai-rĩ, honokia, nĩgũkorwo maaĩ maanginyĩte o ngingo.
2 I have sunk in deep mire, And there is no standing, I have come into the depths of the waters, And a flood has overflown me.
Ndĩratoonyerera mũtondo-inĩ mũriku, handũ hatarĩ na ha gũkinyithia kũgũrũ. Nginyĩte maaĩ-inĩ harĩa hariku; mũiyũro wa maaĩ nĩũhumbĩkanĩtie.
3 I have been wearied with my calling, My throat has been burned, My eyes have been consumed, waiting for my God.
Nĩnogete mũno nĩ gũkaya ndeithio; mũmero wakwa nĩ mũngʼaru. Maitho makwa nĩmorĩtwo nĩ hinya nĩgũcũthĩrĩria Ngai wakwa.
4 Those hating me without cause Have been more than the hairs of my head, Mighty have been my destroyers, My lying enemies, That which I did not take away—I bring back.
Andũ arĩa maathũire hatarĩ gĩtũmi nĩ aingĩ gũkĩra njuĩrĩ cia mũtwe wakwa; thũ ciakwa iria iithũire hatarĩ gĩtũmi nĩ nyingĩ, o icio injaragia iniine. Hatagĩrĩrio njookie kĩndũ itaiyĩte.
5 O God, You have known Concerning my overturn, And my desolations have not been hid from You.
Wee Ngai nĩũũĩ ũrimũ wakwa; mahĩtia makwa matingĩhithĩka harĩwe.
6 Do not let those waiting on You be ashamed because of me, O Lord, YHWH of Hosts, Do not let those seeking You Blush because of me, O God of Israel.
Andũ arĩa makwĩhokete, maroaga gũconorithio nĩ ũndũ wakwa, Wee Mwathani, Jehova Mwene-Hinya-wothe; arĩa makũrongoragia maroaga kũnyararwo nĩ ũndũ wakwa, Wee Ngai wa Isiraeli.
7 For because of You I have borne reproach, Shame has covered my face.
Nĩgũkorwo nĩngirĩrĩirie kũmenwo nĩ ũndũ waku, naguo ũthiũ wakwa nĩũhumbĩtwo thoni.
8 I have been a stranger to my brother, And a foreigner to sons of my mother.
Nduĩkĩte ta mũgeni harĩ ariũ a baba, ngatuĩka ta mũndũ wa kũngĩ harĩ ariũ a maitũ;
9 For [my] zeal for Your house has consumed me, And the reproaches of Your reproachers Have fallen on me.
kĩyo kĩrĩa ndĩ nakĩo kĩa nyũmba yaku nĩkĩo kĩrandĩa, irumi cia arĩa makũrumaga nĩ niĩ igũĩrĩire.
10 And I weep in the fasting of my soul, And it is for a reproach to me.
Rĩrĩa ngũrĩra na ngehinga kũrĩa irio, no nginya ngirĩrĩrie kũnyũrũrio;
11 And I make my clothing sackcloth, And I am for an allegory to them.
rĩrĩa ndehumba nguo ya ikũnia, andũ no gũũthekerera.
12 Those sitting at the gate meditate concerning me, And those drinking strong drink, Play on instruments.
Andũ arĩa maikaraga kĩhingo-inĩ gĩa itũũra nĩ niĩ manyũrũragia, na nduĩkĩte rwĩmbo rwa arĩĩu.
13 And my prayer [is] to You, O YHWH, A time of good pleasure, O God, In the abundance of Your kindness, Answer me in the truth of Your salvation.
Wee Jehova, nĩndakũhooya hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ya gwĩtĩkĩrĩka nĩwe; Wee Ngai, nĩ ũndũ wa wendo waku mũnene, ũnjĩtĩke na ũhonokio waku wa ma.
14 Deliver me from the mire, and do not let me sink, Let me be delivered from those hating me, And from deep places of waters.
Honokia ũndute mũtondo-inĩ, ndũkareke ndoonyerere; ndeithũra kuuma kũrĩ arĩa maathũire, ũndute kuuma maaĩ-inĩ marĩa mariku.
15 Do not let a flood of waters overflow me, Nor let the deep swallow me up, Nor let the pit shut her mouth on me.
Ndũkareke mũiyũro wa maaĩ ũũhubĩkanie, kana merio nĩ kũrĩa kũriku, o na kana ndumĩrio kanua nĩ irima rĩa gĩkuũ.
16 Answer me, O YHWH, for Your kindness [is] good, Turn to me according to the abundance of Your mercies,
Wee Jehova, njĩtĩka nĩ ũndũ wa wega wa wendo waku; nĩ ũndũ wa tha ciaku nyingĩ wĩhũgũre ũnjookerere.
17 And do not hide Your face from Your servant, For I am in distress—hurry, answer me.
Ndũkahithe ndungata yaku ũthiũ waku; njĩtĩka narua, nĩgũkorwo ndĩ thĩĩna-inĩ.
18 Be near to my soul—redeem it, Ransom me because of my enemies.
Ũka hakuhĩ ũndeithũre; honokia kuuma kũrĩ thũ ciakwa.
19 You have known my reproach, And my shame, and my blushing, All my adversaries [are] before You.
We nĩũũĩ ũrĩa nyũrũrĩtio, na ngaconorithio na ngahumbwo thoni; thũ ciakwa ciothe irĩ mbere yaku.
20 Reproach has broken my heart, and I am sick, And I look for a bemoaner, and there is none, And for comforters, and I have found none.
Kũnyũrũrio nĩ gũũthuthĩte ngoro ngatigwo itarĩ na mwĩhoko; ndeetereire nyone wa kũnjiguĩra tha, no ndiigana kũmuona, ngĩeterera nyone andũ a kũũhooreria, no ndiamonire.
21 And they give gall for my food, And cause me to drink vinegar for my thirst.
Maanjĩkĩrĩire maaĩ ma nyongo irio-inĩ ciakwa, na ndanyoota makĩĩhe thiki nyue.
22 Their table before them is for a snare, And for a repayment—for a trap.
Metha ĩrĩa maarĩirwo ĩrotuĩka mũtego; ĩrotuĩka ihũũra o na mũtego wa kũmagwatia.
23 Their eyes are darkened from seeing, And their loins continually shake You.
Maitho mao marogĩa nduma matige gũcooka kuona, nayo mĩgongo yao ĩrohocerera nginya tene.
24 Pour Your indignation on them, And the fierceness of Your anger seizes them.
Maitũrũrĩre mangʼũrĩ maku; makinyĩrie marakara maku mahiũ.
25 Their tower is desolated, There is no dweller in their tents.
Mĩciĩ yao ĩrokira ihooru; kũroaga mũndũ wa gũtũũra hema-inĩ ciao.
26 For they have pursued him [whom] You have struck, And recount of the pain of Your pierced ones.
Nĩgũkorwo manyariiraga arĩa wee ũgurarĩtie, na makaaria ũhoro wa ruo rwa arĩa ũtiihĩtie.
27 Give punishment for their iniquity, And they do not enter into Your righteousness.
Mathitangĩre o ngero thuutha wa ĩrĩa ĩngĩ; ndũkanareke magatoonya ũhonokanio-inĩ waku.
28 They are blotted out of the scroll of life, And are not written with the righteous.
Marothario ibuku-inĩ rĩa muoyo, mage kwandĩkwo mũtaratara-inĩ wa andũ arĩa athingu.
29 And I [am] afflicted and pained, Your salvation, O God, sets me on high.
Ndĩ na ruo na ngathĩĩnĩka; Wee Ngai kĩĩhonokie na ũngitĩre.
30 I praise the Name of God with a song, And I magnify Him with thanksgiving,
Nĩngũgooca rĩĩtwa rĩa Ngai na rwĩmbo, na ndĩmũtũũgĩrie ngĩmũcookagĩria ngaatho.
31 And it is better to YHWH than an ox, A bullock—horned [and] hoofed.
Naguo ũndũ ũcio nĩũgũgĩkenia Jehova gũkĩra kũmũhe ndegwa, na gũkĩra ndegwa nene ĩrĩ na hĩa na mahũngũ.
32 The humble have seen—they rejoice, You who seek God—and your heart lives.
Andũ arĩa athĩĩni mona ũguo nĩmagakena; inyuĩ arĩa mũrongoragia Ngai, ngoro cianyu iroarahũka!
33 For YHWH listens to the needy, And He has not despised His bound ones.
Jehova nĩathikagĩrĩria arĩa abatari, na ndangĩnyarara andũ ake moohetwo.
34 The heavens and earth praise Him, Seas, and every moving thing in them.
Igũrũ na thĩ nĩimũgooce, o na maria marĩa manene na kĩrĩa gĩothe gĩthiiagĩra thĩinĩ wamo,
35 For God saves Zion, And builds the cities of Judah, And they have dwelt there, and possess it.
nĩgũkorwo Ngai nĩakahonokia Zayuni, na aake matũũra marĩa manene ma Juda rĩngĩ. Hĩndĩ ĩyo andũ nĩmagatũũra kuo na makwĩgwatĩre;
36 And the seed of His servants inherit it, And those loving His Name dwell in it!
ciana cia ndungata ciake nĩigakũgaya, nao arĩa mendete rĩĩtwa rĩake nĩmagatũũra kuo.
