Psalms 40
1 [For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] I waited patiently for the LORD, and he turned to me, and heard my cry.
Thaburi ya Daudi Ndetereire Jehova o ngirĩrĩirie; nake agĩĩthikĩrĩria akĩigua kĩrĩro gĩakwa.
2 He also brought me up out of a pit of tumult, out of the miry clay; and he set my feet on a rock, making my steps secure.
Nĩ aandutire irima rĩa mũũro, thĩinĩ wa ndoro yarĩ ndenderũ, agĩkinyithia magũrũ makwa igũrũ rĩa rwaro rwa ihiga, na agĩtũma ndĩhaande wega.
3 And he has put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God. Many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.
Eekĩrire rwĩmbo rwerũ kanua-inĩ gakwa, rwĩmbo rwa kũgoocaga Ngai witũ naruo. Andũ aingĩ marĩonaga ũguo magetigĩra, nao makehoka Jehova.
4 Blessed is the man who makes the LORD his trust, and doesn't respect the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
Kũrathimwo nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa ũtuĩte atĩ arĩĩhokaga o Jehova, na nderĩgagĩrĩra andũ arĩa etĩĩi, o acio marũmagĩrĩra ngai cia maheeni.
5 Many, LORD, my God, are the wonderful works which you have done, and your thoughts which are toward us. They can't be declared back to you. If I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.
Wee Jehova Ngai wakwa-rĩ, magegania marĩa wĩkĩte nĩ maingĩ. Maũndũ marĩa ũtũbangĩire gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩhota gũgũtaarĩria; korwo ndaaria heane ũhoro wamo-rĩ, mangĩkorwo marĩ maingĩ mũno kũmoiga.
6 Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but a body you prepared for me. Whole burnt offering and sin offering you did not require.
Wee-rĩ, ti magongona na maruta weriragĩria, no nĩũũheete matũ ma gũkũigua; maruta ma njino na maruta ma kũhoroheria mehia ti mo maakũbatairie.
7 Then I said, "Look, I have come. It is written about me in the scroll of a book;
Ningĩ ngiuga atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ũyũ haha, nĩndooka, o ta ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo ũhoro wakwa ibuku-inĩ rĩa gĩkũnjo.
8 to do your will, O God, I desired. And your Law is within my heart."
Niĩ ndĩriragĩria gwĩka wendi waku, Wee Ngai wakwa; watho waku ũrĩ ngoro-inĩ yakwa.”
9 I have proclaimed glad news of righteousness in the great assembly. Look, I will not seal my lips, LORD, you know.
Nyanagĩrĩra ũhoro wa ũthingu ndĩ kĩũngano-inĩ kĩnene; o ta ũrĩa ũũĩ, Wee Jehova, niĩ ndihingaga mĩromo yakwa.
10 I have not hidden your righteousness within my heart. I have declared your faithfulness and your salvation. I have not concealed your loving kindness and your truth from the great assembly.
Niĩ ndihithagĩrĩra ũthingu waku ngoro-inĩ yakwa; njaragia ũhoro wa wĩhokeku na ũhonokio waku. Wendo waku na ũhoro waku wa ma ndirĩ ndacihitha kĩũngano kĩrĩa kĩnene.
11 Do not withhold your tender mercies from me, LORD. Let your loving kindness and your truth continually preserve me.
Wee Jehova-rĩ, ndũkagirĩrĩrie tha ciaku inginyĩrĩre; wendo waku na ũhoro waku wa ma irongitagĩra hĩndĩ ciothe.
12 For innumerable evils have surrounded me. My iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up. They are more than the hairs of my head. My heart has failed me.
Nĩgũkorwo mathĩĩna matangĩtarĩka nĩmandigiicĩirie; mehia makwa nĩmanginyĩrĩire, ngaremwo nĩkuona. Maingĩhĩte gũkĩra njuĩrĩ cia mũtwe wakwa, na ngoro yakwa nĩyũrĩtwo nĩ hinya.
13 Be pleased, LORD, to deliver me. Hurry to help me, LORD.
Wee Jehova-rĩ, ĩtĩkĩra kũũhonokia, Wee Jehova-rĩ, ũka narua ũndeithie.
14 Let them be put to shame and confounded together who seek after my soul to destroy it. Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor who delight in my hurt.
Andũ arĩa othe mendaga kũnjũraga maroconorithio na manyiitwo nĩ kĩrigiicano; arĩa othe mendaga nyanangwo marocooka na thuutha maconokete.
15 Let them be desolate by reason of their shame that tell me, "Aha. Aha."
Andũ arĩa maathekagĩrĩra makiugaga atĩrĩ, “Haiya! Haiya!” Maroiyũrwo nĩ ihooru nĩ ũndũ wa thoni ciao.
16 Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you. Let such as love your salvation say continually, "Let the LORD be exalted."
No arĩa makũrongoragia marokena na macanjamũke nĩ ũndũ waku; arĩa mendete ũhonokio waku marotũũra moigaga atĩrĩ, “Jehova arotũgĩrio!”
17 But I am poor and needy. May the LORD think about me. You are my help and my deliverer. Do not delay, my God.
No rĩrĩ, niĩ ndĩ mũthĩĩni na mũbatari; Mwathani arondirikana. Wee nĩwe ũteithio wakwa na mũndeithũri; Wee Ngai wakwa-rĩ, hiuha ũkĩndeithie.
