Psalms 9
1 Yahweh, I will praise you with all of my inner being. I will tell [others] about all the wonderful things that you have done.
Thaburi ya Daudi Wee Jehova, nĩngũkũgooca na ngoro yakwa yothe; nĩngũgana maũndũ maku mothe ma magegania marĩa wĩkĩte.
2 I will sing to celebrate what you [MTY], who are much greater than all other gods, [have done].
Nĩngũcanjamũka na ngene nĩ ũndũ waku. Nĩngũina rwĩmbo ngooce rĩĩtwa rĩaku, Wee Ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno.
3 When my enemies realize [that you are very powerful], they stumble, and then they are killed.
Thũ ciakwa icookaga na thuutha, ikahĩngwo igathira irĩ mbere yaku.
4 You sat on your throne to judge people, and you have judged fairly/justly concerning me.
Nĩgũkorwo nĩũtiirĩrĩire kĩhooto gĩakwa na ciira wakwa; nĩũikarĩire gĩtĩ gĩaku kĩa ũnene, na ũgatua ciira na ũthingu.
5 You rebuked the [people of other] nations and you have gotten rid of the wicked people; you have erased their names forever.
Nĩũrũithĩtie ndũrĩrĩ na ũkaniina andũ arĩa aaganu; namo marĩĩtwa mao ũkamatharia tene na tene.
6 Our enemies have disappeared; you destroyed their cities, and people do not even remember them any more.
Thũ nĩũcikinyĩirie mwanangĩko ũtathiraga, nĩwanangĩte matũũra macio manene; o na kũririkanwo kwao nĩgũthirĩte.
7 But Yahweh rules forever. He judges [people while he sits] on his throne to judge people,
Jehova athamakaga nginya tene; nĩahaandĩte gĩtĩ gĩake kĩa ũnene nĩguo atuanĩre ciira.
8 and he will judge [all the people in] [SYN] the world justly; he will judge the people [of all nations] fairly [DOU].
Nĩagatuĩra andũ a thĩ ciira na kĩhooto; nĩagathamakĩra ndũrĩrĩ o ta ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire.
9 Yahweh will be a refuge for those who are oppressed; [yes, he will be like] a shelter for them when they have trouble.
Jehova nĩwe rĩũrĩro rĩa arĩa ahinyĩrĩrie, kĩĩhitho kĩrĩ hinya hĩndĩ ya mathĩĩna.
10 Those who know Yahweh [MTY] trust in him; he never abandons those who come to him ([for help/to worship him]).
Arĩa mooĩ rĩĩtwa rĩaku nĩmarĩkwĩhokaga, nĩgũkorwo Jehova ndũrĩ watiganĩria arĩa makũrongoragia.
11 Yahweh rules from Zion [Hill]; praise him while you sing to him. Tell [the people of all] the nations the [marvelous] things that he has done.
Inĩrai Jehova nyĩmbo mũmũgooce, o ũcio ũikarĩire gĩtĩ gĩake kĩa ũnene kũu Zayuni; umbũrĩrai andũ a ndũrĩrĩ maũndũ marĩa ekĩte.
12 He does not forget [to punish] those who have murdered others; and he will not ignore people who are crying because they are suffering.
Nĩgũkorwo ũcio ũrĩhanagĩria thakame nĩamaririkanaga; kĩrĩro kĩa andũ arĩa ahinyĩrĩrĩku ndakariganĩrwo nĩkĩo.
13 Yahweh, be merciful to me! Look at the ways that my enemies have injured me. Do not allow me to die [because of these injuries].
Wee Jehova, ta rora wone ũrĩa thũ ciakwa iranyariira! Njiguĩra tha, ũnjoe na igũrũ, ũndute kuuma ihingo-inĩ cia gĩkuũ,
14 I want to live in order that I can praise you at the gates of Jerusalem [MTY] and to rejoice because you rescued me.
nĩguo nyumbũre ũgooci waku ndĩ kũu ihingo-inĩ cia Mwarĩ wa Zayuni, na ndĩ kũu ngenagĩre ũhonokio waku.
15 [It is as though] the [wicked people of many] nations have dug a pit for me to fall into [MET], but they have fallen into that same pit. [It is as if] they spread out a net to catch me [MET], but their feet have been caught in that same net.
Ndũrĩrĩ nĩigwĩte o irima rĩrĩa cienjete; magũrũ maacio nĩmanyiitĩtwo nĩ wabu o ũcio ihithĩte wa gũtegana.
16 Because of what you have done, people know that you decide matters [fairly/justly], but [you allow] wicked people to be trapped by the same evil things that they themselves do.
Jehova nĩemenyithanĩtie na ũndũ wa gũtuanĩra ciira na kĩhooto gĩake; andũ arĩa aaganu nĩmetegete na wĩra wa moko mao ene.
17 Wicked people will all [die and] be buried in their graves, and [their spirits] will go to be with all those who have (forgotten about/rejected) you. (Sheol h7585)
Andũ arĩa aaganu macookaga o mbĩrĩra-inĩ, ĩĩ-ni, ndũrĩrĩ iria ciothe iriganagĩrwo nĩ Ngai. (Sheol h7585)
18 But you will not forget those who are needy/poor; what they confidently expect will certainly happen.
No rĩrĩ, andũ arĩa abatari matigũtũũra mariganĩire, na kana mwĩhoko wa arĩa ahinyĩrĩrie ũthire nginya tene.
19 Yahweh, arise and judge the [wicked] people of the nations; do not allow them to think that [because they are strong] they will never be punished.
Wee Jehova, arahũka, Ndũkareke mũndũ agĩe na ũhootani; reke ndũrĩrĩ ituĩrwo ciira irĩ mbere yaku.
20 Yahweh, teach them to be terrified about you. Cause them to know that they are merely human beings.
Wee Jehova, maiguithie guoya, ũreke ndũrĩrĩ imenye atĩ cio no andũ.
