Psalms 16
1 A Precious Psalm of David. Preserve me, O GOD, for I have sought refuge in thee.
Thaburi ya Daudi Wee Mũrungu, ngitagĩra, nĩgũkorwo nĩ harĩwe njũragĩra.
2 Thou hast said unto Yahweh, My Lord, art thou! My goodness, mounteth not unto thee.
Ndeerire Jehova atĩrĩ, “Wee nĩwe Mwathani wakwa; hatirĩ ũndũ mwega ingĩona ũtoimĩte harĩwe.”
3 It belongeth unto the holy ones, whom, in his own land, Yahweh, ennobleth, In whom is all his delight
Ha ũhoro wa andũ arĩa aamũre arĩa marĩ bũrũri-inĩ, acio nĩo andũ arĩa marĩ riiri, na nĩo ngenagĩra mũno.
4 They multiply their idols—another, have they purchased! I will not pour out their drink-offerings of blood, nor will I take up their names on my lips.
Andũ arĩa matengʼeragĩra ngai ingĩ-rĩ, kĩeha kĩao nĩgĩkaingĩha. Ndirĩ hĩndĩ ngarutĩra ngai icio magongona ma gũita thakame, o na kana ngwete marĩĩtwa maacio na mĩromo yakwa.
5 Yahweh, is mine allotted portion and my cup, Thou, art maintaining my lot.
Jehova nĩwe ũnjigĩire rwĩga rwakwa, na gĩkombe gĩakwa; Wee nĩwe ũgitagĩra igai rĩakwa.
6 The lines, have fallen unto me, in pleasant places, Verily an inheritance that delighteth me.
Ũnjatũrĩire ithaka kũndũ kũrĩa kwega; ti-itherũ igai rĩakwa nĩrĩngenagia mũno.
7 I will bless Yahweh, who hath counselled me, —Surely, by night, shall mine impulses admonish me.
Nĩngũgooca Jehova, ũrĩa ũũheaga kĩrĩra; o na ũtukũ ngoro yakwa nĩĩndaaraga.
8 I have set Yahweh before me continually, because he is on my right hand, I shall not be shaken!
Jehova akoragwo arĩ mbere yakwa hĩndĩ ciothe. Tondũ arĩ guoko-inĩ gwakwa kwa ũrĩo-rĩ, ndingĩenyenyeka.
9 Therefore, hath my heart rejoiced, and mine honour exulted, Yea, my flesh, shall settle down securely;
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngoro yakwa nĩnjanjamũku, na rũrĩmĩ rwakwa rũgakena; o naguo mwĩrĩ wakwa nĩ ũgaatũũra ũrĩ na thayũ,
10 For thou wilt not abandon my soul to hades, neither wilt thou suffer thy man of lovingkindness, to see corruption: (Sheol h7585)
tondũ ndũkandiganĩria mbĩrĩra-inĩ, o na kana ũreke Ũrĩa-waku-Mũtheru abuthe. (Sheol h7585)
11 Thou wilt cause me to know, the path of life, —Fulness of joys before thee, Pleasures at thy right hand evermore.
Nĩũũmenyithĩtie njĩra ya gũthiĩ muoyo-inĩ; nĩũkanjiyũria gĩkeno ndĩ harĩa ũrĩ, hamwe na mwago wa tene na tene ndĩ guoko-inĩ gwaku kwa ũrĩo.
