Psalms 17
1 A prayer of David hear! O Yahweh - righteousness pay attention to! cry of entreaty my give ear to! prayer my with not lips of deceit.
Ihooya rĩa Daudi Wee Jehova, ta igua gũthaithana gwakwa kwa ũthingu; thikĩrĩria gũkaya gwakwa. Tega gũtũ ũigue ihooya rĩakwa, tondũ rĩtiumanĩte na mĩromo ya maheeni.
2 From to before you judgment my may it come forth eyes your may they see uprightness.
Ituĩro rĩakwa rĩa kĩhooto nĩrĩkiume kũrĩ wee; maitho maku nĩmakĩone o ũndũ ũrĩa wagĩrĩire.
3 You have tested heart my - you have visited night you have tested me not you will find I have resolved not it will transgress mouth my.
O na ũngĩthuthuuria ngoro yakwa na ũnduĩrie ũtukũ, o na ũngĩngeria, ndũrĩ ũndũ mũũru ũngĩona; nĩnduĩte atĩ ndikehia na kanua gakwa.
4 To [the] deeds of humankind by [the] word of lips your I I have watched [the] paths of violent person[s].
Ha ũhoro wa ciĩko cia andũ, na ũndũ wa uuge wa mĩromo yaku niĩ ndũũrĩte ndĩrigagĩrĩria njĩra cia andũ arĩa mendete haaro.
5 They have held firm steps my in tracks your not they have been shaken footsteps my.
Makinya makwa nĩmarũmĩtie njĩra ciaku; magũrũ makwa matirĩ matenderũka.
6 I I call out to you for you will answer me O God incline ear your to me hear utterance my.
Wee Mũrungu, ngũkayagĩra tondũ nĩũnjĩtĩkaga; ndegera gũtũ na ũigue ihooya rĩakwa.
7 Make wonderful covenant loyalti your O deliverer of [those who] take refuge from [those who] rise up by right [hand] your.
Tũma magegania ma wendo waku mũnene monekane, Wee ũhonokanagia na guoko gwaku kwa ũrĩo arĩa moragĩra harĩwe kuuma kũrĩ thũ ciao.
8 Keep me like [the] pupil of [the] daughter of an eye in [the] shadow of wings your you will hide me.
Menyagĩrĩra niĩ ta kĩũma kĩa riitho rĩaku; hitha kĩĩruru-inĩ kĩa mathagu maku
9 From before wicked [people] who they have assailed me enemies my with soul they surround me.
ndigakorwo nĩ andũ arĩa aaganu arĩa maatharĩkagĩra, na kuuma kũrĩ thũ cia muoyo wakwa iria cindigiicĩirie.
10 Fat their they have closed up mouth their they have spoken with pride.
Nĩmahinganĩtie ngoro ciao nyũmũ, na tuo tũnua twao tũkaaria na mwĩgaatho.
11 Steps our now (they have surrounded us *Q(K)*) eyes their they set to bend down on the ground.
Maahĩtĩte, rĩu nĩmandigiicĩirie, mangũũrĩire maitho, mone mweke wa kũnũnda.
12 Likeness his [is] like a lion [which] it longs to tear to pieces and like a young lion [which] sits in hiding places.
Mahaana ta mũrũũthi ũhũtĩire ndĩa yaguo, makahaana ta mũrũũthi mũnene woheirie kĩrĩa ũrenda kũnyiita.
13 Arise! O Yahweh confront! face his make bow down him deliver! life my from [the] wicked sword your.
Arahũka, Wee Jehova, mangʼethere, ũmahoote; ndeithũra na rũhiũ rwaku rwa njora kuuma kũrĩ andũ arĩa aaganu.
14 From men hand your - O Yahweh from men from [the] world [whom] portion their [is] in the life (and treasured [thing] your *Q(K)*) you fill belly their they are satisfied sons and they leave abundance their to children their.
Wee Jehova, honokia na guoko gwaku kuuma kũrĩ andũ ta acio, ũũhonokie kuuma kũrĩ andũ a thĩ ĩno arĩa irĩhi rĩao rĩrĩ o muoyo-inĩ ũyũ tũrĩ. Ũniinagĩra andũ arĩa wendete ngʼaragu ũkamahũũnia; ciana ciao irĩ na cia kũigana, na nĩmaigagĩra ciana cia ciana ciao mũthiithũ.
15 I in righteousness I will see face your I will be satisfied when awake likeness your.
Na niĩ-rĩ, nĩngeyonera ũthiũ waku na ũthingu; rĩrĩa ngokĩra-rĩ, nĩngaĩiganwo nĩgũkuona ũrĩa ũtariĩ.
