Psalms 142

1 Maskil to/for David in/on/with to be he in/on/with cave prayer voice my to(wards) LORD to cry out voice my to(wards) LORD be gracious

Thaburi ya Daudi Ngayagĩra Jehova nyanĩrĩire; ngwambararia mũgambo wakwa kũrĩ Jehova anjiguĩre tha.

2 to pour: pour to/for face: before his complaint my distress my to/for face: before his to tell

Njitũrũraga mateta makwa mbere yake; ndĩrĩmwĩraga thĩĩna wakwa ndĩ mbere yake.

3 in/on/with to enfeeble upon me spirit my and you(m. s.) to know path my in/on/with way this to go: walk to hide snare to/for me

Rĩrĩa roho wakwa waringĩka thĩinĩ wakwa, Wee nĩwe ũmenyaga njĩra ĩrĩa ndĩrĩgera. Njĩra-inĩ ĩrĩa thiiagĩra-rĩ, andũ nĩmahithĩire mũtego.

4 to look right and to see: see and nothing to/for me to recognize to perish refuge from me nothing to seek to/for soul my

Ta rora mwena wakwa wa ũrĩo wone; gũtirĩ o na ũmwe ũranũmbũiya. Ndirĩ na ha kũũrĩra; muoyo wakwa gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe ũngĩũmenyerera.

5 to cry out to(wards) you LORD to say you(m. s.) refuge my portion my in/on/with land: country/planet [the] alive

Wee Jehova, nĩwe ngayagĩra; njugaga atĩrĩ, “Wee nĩwe rĩũrĩro rĩakwa, na igai rĩakwa bũrũri-inĩ wa arĩa marĩ muoyo.”

6 to listen [emph?] to(wards) cry my for to languish much to rescue me from to pursue me for to strengthen from me

Thikĩrĩria gũkaya gwakwa, nĩgũkorwo ndĩĩmũhinyĩrĩrie mũno; ndeithũra kuuma kũrĩ andũ arĩa mathingatanĩte na niĩ, nĩgũkorwo marĩ na hinya mũno kũngĩra.

7 to come out: send [emph?] from locksmith soul: myself my to/for to give thanks [obj] name your in/on/with me to surround righteous for to wean upon me

Njohorithia kuuma kĩoho-inĩ gĩakwa, nĩguo ngoocage rĩĩtwa rĩaku. Hĩndĩ ĩyo andũ arĩa athingu nĩmakandigiicĩria, nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa ũnjĩkĩte wega.
