Psalms 90
1 [A Prayer by Moses, the man of God.] LORD, you have been our dwelling place for all generations.
Ihooya rĩa Musa, ndungata ya Ngai JEHOVA, nĩwe ũtũũrĩte ũrĩ gĩikaro giitũ kuuma njiarwa na njiarwa.
2 Before the mountains were brought forth, before you had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God.
O mbere ya irĩma kũgĩa kuo kana ũkĩũmba thĩ na mabũrũri, kuuma tene nginya tene, Wee ũrĩ o Mũrungu.
3 You turn man to destruction, saying, "Return, you descendants of Adam."
Wee ũcookagia andũ magatuĩka rũkũngũ, ũkoiga atĩrĩ, “Cookai rũkũngũ-inĩ, inyuĩ ciana ici cia andũ.”
4 For a thousand years in your sight are just like yesterday when it is past, like a watch in the night.
Nĩgũkorwo mĩaka ngiri harĩwe no ta mũthenya wa ira ũrĩa ũrahĩtũkire, kana ta ituanĩra rĩmwe rĩa arangĩri a ũtukũ.
5 You sweep them away as they sleep. In the morning they sprout like new grass.
Ũhaataga andũ, ũkameeheria, magakoma toro wa gĩkuũ; andũ mahaana ta nyeki ĩrĩa ĩringũkaga rũciinĩ:
6 In the morning it sprouts and springs up. By evening, it is withered and dry.
o na gũtuĩka rũciinĩ nĩĩringũkaga, hwaĩ-inĩ ĩhoohaga, ĩkooma.
7 For we are consumed in your anger. We are troubled in your wrath.
Tũniinagwo nĩ marakara maku, na tũkamakio mũno nĩ marũrũ maku.
8 You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence.
Nĩũigĩte wĩhia witũ o mbere yaku, mehia maitũ marĩa mahithe ũkamoimĩria o ũtheri-inĩ hau mbere yaku.
9 For all our days have passed away in your wrath. We bring our years to an end as a sigh.
Matukũ maitũ mothe maniinagwo nĩ mangʼũrĩ maku; tũninũkagia mĩaka iitũ na gũcaaya.
10 The days of our years are seventy, or even by reason of strength eighty years; yet their pride is but labor and sorrow, for it passes quickly, and we fly away.
Mũigana wa matukũ maitũ-rĩ, nĩ mĩaka mĩrongo mũgwanja, kana mĩrongo ĩnana, tũngĩkorwo tũrĩ na hinya; no rĩrĩ, mũigana wamo no thĩĩna na kĩeha, nĩgũkorwo mathiraga o narua, na ithuĩ tũgathiĩ, tũkabuĩria.
11 Who knows the power of your anger, your wrath according to the fear that is due to you?
Nũũ ũũĩ hinya wa marakara maku? Nĩgũkorwo mangʼũrĩ maku nĩ manene o ta gwĩtigĩrwo kũrĩa wagĩrĩire.
12 So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
Tuonie gũtara matukũ maitũ wega, nĩgeetha tũgĩe na ngoro ya ũũgĩ.
13 Relent, LORD. How long? Have compassion on your servants.
Wee Jehova, hoorera! Nĩ nginya rĩ? Iguĩra ndungata ciaku tha.
14 Satisfy us in the morning with your loving kindness, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
Rũciinĩ tũhũũnagie na wendo waku ũtathiraga, nĩguo tũinage nĩ gũkena na tũcanjamũkage matukũ maitũ mothe.
15 Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, for as many years as we have seen evil.
Tũma tũkene matukũ maingĩ o ta marĩa ũtũnyamarĩtie, na mĩaka mĩingĩ o ta ĩrĩa tuonete thĩĩna.
16 Let your work appear to your servants; your glory to their children.
Ndungata ciaku irokĩonio ciĩko ciaku, naguo riiri waku wonio ciana ciao.
17 Let the favor of the LORD our God be on us; establish the work of our hands for us; yes, establish the work of our hands.
Wega wa Mwathani Ngai witũ ũrogĩa na ithuĩ; tũma wĩra wa moko maitũ ũgaacĩre, ĩĩ-ni, kĩrũmie wĩra wa moko maitũ.
