Psalms 88
1 [A Song. A Psalm by the sons of Korah. For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "The Suffering of Affliction." A contemplation by Heman, the Ezrahite.] Jehovah, the God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before you.
Thaburi ya Ariũ a Kora Wee Jehova, o Wee Ngai ũrĩa ũũhonokagia, ngũkayagĩra mũthenya na ũtukũ ndĩ mbere yaku.
2 Let my prayer enter into your presence. Turn your ear to my cry.
Ihooya rĩakwa rĩrokinya harĩwe; inamĩrĩria gũtũ gwaku ũigue gũkaya gwakwa.
Nĩgũkorwo muoyo wakwa ũiyũrĩtwo nĩ thĩĩna, na niĩ ngirie gũkua. (Sheol h7585)
4 I am counted among those who go down into the pit. I am like a man who has no help,
Niĩ ndaranĩirio na arĩa makiriĩ gũkua; haana ta mũndũ ũtarĩ na hinya.
5 set apart among the dead, like the slain who lie in the grave, whom you remember no more. They are cut off from your hand.
Niĩ njiganĩirio na arĩa akuũ, o ta arĩa moragĩtwo magakoma mbĩrĩra, o acio ũtacookaga kũririkana, arĩa meheretio kuuma ũmenyereri-inĩ waku.
6 You have laid me in the lowest pit, in the darkest depths.
Ũnjikĩtie irima rĩrĩa iriku mũno, o kũu kũriku kũrĩ nduma ndumanu.
7 Your wrath lies heavily on me. You have afflicted me with all your waves. (Selah)
Mangʼũrĩ maku nĩmanditũhĩire mũno; nĩũũhubĩkanĩtie na ndiihũ ciaku ciothe.
8 You have taken my friends from me. You have made me an abomination to them. I am confined, and I can't escape.
Nĩũnjehereirie arata akwa arĩa twendanĩte mũno, na ũgatũma nduĩke kĩndũ kĩrĩ magigi harĩo. Ndĩĩmũhingĩrĩrie ndingĩhota kũũra;
9 My eyes are dim from grief. I have called on you daily, Jehovah. I have spread out my hands to you.
maitho makwa nĩmaroora nĩ kĩeha. Wee Jehova, ngũkayagĩra o mũthenya; ngũtambũrũkagĩria moko makwa.
10 Do you show wonders to the dead? Do the dead rise up and praise you? (Selah)
Andũ arĩa akuũ-rĩ, wee nĩũmonagia magegania maku? Acio makuĩte-rĩ, nĩmarahũkaga, magakũgooca?
11 Is your loving kindness declared in the grave? Or your faithfulness in Destruction?
Wendo waku nĩumbũragwo mbĩrĩra-inĩ, kana wĩhokeku waku ũgakiumbũrwo Mwanangĩko-inĩ?
12 Are your wonders made known in the dark? Or your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
Magegania maku nĩmonagwo kũndũ kũu kwa nduma, kana ciĩko ciaku cia ũthingu ikamenyeka bũrũri-inĩ ũcio wa kĩriganĩro?
13 But to you, Jehovah, I have cried. In the morning, my prayer comes before you.
No nĩngũgũkaĩra ũndeithie, Wee Jehova; rũciinĩ mahooya makwa mokaga harĩwe.
14 Jehovah, why do you reject my soul? Why do you hide your face from me?
Wee Jehova, nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmĩte ũndiganĩrie na ũkaahitha ũthiũ waku?
15 I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up. While I suffer your terrors, I am distracted.
Kuuma o ũnini wakwa ndũũrĩte nyamarĩtio na ngakuhĩrĩria gĩkuũ; nĩnyamaarĩkĩte nĩ imakania ciaku, igatũma njage mwĩhoko.
16 Your fierce wrath has gone over me. Your terrors have cut me off.
Mangʼũrĩ maku nĩmahubĩkanĩtie, nacio imakania ciaku ikanyananga.
17 They came around me like water all day long. They completely engulfed me.
Maathiũrũrũkagĩria mũthenya wothe ta mũiyũro wa maaĩ; hingĩrĩirio nĩmo na mĩena yothe.
18 You have put lover and friend far from me, and my friends into darkness.
Nĩũnjehereirie athiritũ akwa na arĩa nyendete; nduma nĩyo mũrata wakwa ũrĩa ũnguhĩrĩirie mũno.
