Psalms 26
1 Yahweh, show that I (am innocent/have not done what is wrong). I always do what is right; I have trusted in you and never doubted [that you would help me].
Thaburi ya Daudi Wee Jehova, nduĩra itua rĩa kĩhooto, nĩgũkorwo mĩthiĩre yakwa nĩmĩkindĩrĩku; ndũũrĩte ndĩhokete Jehova itegũthangania.
2 Yahweh, examine what I have done and test me; thoroughly evaluate what I think [IDM].
Wee Jehova, ngeria na ũndorie, tuĩria ngoro yakwa o na meciiria makwa;
3 I never forget that you faithfully love me, I conduct my life according to your truth.
nĩgũkorwo wendo waku ũkoragwo ũrĩ mbere yakwa, na ngeragĩra njĩra-inĩ yaku ya ũhoro wa ma.
4 I do not spend my time with liars and I stay away from hypocrites.
Ndiikaranagia na andũ a maheeni, o na kana ngagwatanĩra na andũ arĩa marĩ ũhinga.
5 I do not like to be with evil people, and I avoid wicked people.
Nĩthũire kĩũngano kĩa andũ arĩa mekaga ũũru, na ngarega gũikarania na andũ arĩa aaganu.
6 Yahweh, I wash my hands to show that I (am innocent/have not done what was wrong). As I join with others marching around your altar,
Ngwĩthamba moko nyonanie ndirĩ na mahĩtia, thiũrũrũke kĩgongona gĩaku, Wee Jehova,
7 we sing songs to thank you, and we tell others the wonderful things that you [have done].
nyine nyanĩrĩire rwĩmbo rwa gũcookia ngaatho, na heane ũhoro wa ciĩko ciaku ciothe cia magegania.
8 Yahweh, I love [to be in] the temple where you live, in the place where your glory appears.
Wee Jehova, nĩnyendete nyũmba ĩrĩa ũtũũraga, o handũ harĩa riiri waku ũikaraga.
9 Do not get rid of me like you get rid of sinners; do not cause me to die like you cause those who murder [MTY] people to die,
Ndũkeherie ngoro yakwa hamwe na ya arĩa mehagia, kana muoyo wakwa hamwe na wa andũ arĩa maitaga thakame,
10 and people who [SYN] are ready to do wicked things and people who are always taking bribes.
arĩa marĩ na maũndũ ma waganu moko-inĩ mao, o arĩa moko mao ma ũrĩo maiyũrĩte mahaki.
11 But as for me, I always try to do what is right. So be kind to me and rescue me.
No niĩ-rĩ, ndũũraga mũtũũrĩre ũtarĩ ũcuuke; kĩngũũre na ũnjiguĩre tha.
12 I stand in places where I am safe, and when [all your people] gather together, I praise you.
Magũrũ makwa marũgamĩte handũ harĩa haigananu; nĩndĩrĩgoocaga Jehova ndĩ kĩũngano-inĩ kĩnene.
