< Psalms 26 >
1 A psalm of David. Judge me, Yahweh, for I have walked with integrity; I have trusted in Yahweh without wavering.
Thaburi ya Daudi Wee Jehova, nduĩra itua rĩa kĩhooto, nĩgũkorwo mĩthiĩre yakwa nĩmĩkindĩrĩku; ndũũrĩte ndĩhokete Jehova itegũthangania.
2 Examine me, Yahweh, and test me; test the purity of my inner parts and my heart!
Wee Jehova, ngeria na ũndorie, tuĩria ngoro yakwa o na meciiria makwa;
3 For your covenant faithfulness is before my eyes, and I walk about in your faithfulness.
nĩgũkorwo wendo waku ũkoragwo ũrĩ mbere yakwa, na ngeragĩra njĩra-inĩ yaku ya ũhoro wa ma.
4 I do not associate with deceitful people, nor do I mingle with dishonest people.
Ndiikaranagia na andũ a maheeni, o na kana ngagwatanĩra na andũ arĩa marĩ ũhinga.
5 I hate the assembly of evildoers, and I do not live with the wicked.
Nĩthũire kĩũngano kĩa andũ arĩa mekaga ũũru, na ngarega gũikarania na andũ arĩa aaganu.
6 I wash my hands in innocence, and I go around your altar, Yahweh,
Ngwĩthamba moko nyonanie ndirĩ na mahĩtia, thiũrũrũke kĩgongona gĩaku, Wee Jehova,
7 to sing a loud song of praise and report all your wonderful deeds.
nyine nyanĩrĩire rwĩmbo rwa gũcookia ngaatho, na heane ũhoro wa ciĩko ciaku ciothe cia magegania.
8 Yahweh, I love the house where you live, the place where your glory lives!
Wee Jehova, nĩnyendete nyũmba ĩrĩa ũtũũraga, o handũ harĩa riiri waku ũikaraga.
9 Do not sweep me away with sinners, or my life with people who are bloodthirsty,
Ndũkeherie ngoro yakwa hamwe na ya arĩa mehagia, kana muoyo wakwa hamwe na wa andũ arĩa maitaga thakame,
10 in whose hands there is a plot, and whose right hand is full of bribes.
arĩa marĩ na maũndũ ma waganu moko-inĩ mao, o arĩa moko mao ma ũrĩo maiyũrĩte mahaki.
11 But as for me, I will walk in integrity; redeem me and have mercy on me.
No niĩ-rĩ, ndũũraga mũtũũrĩre ũtarĩ ũcuuke; kĩngũũre na ũnjiguĩre tha.
12 My foot stands on level ground; in the assemblies will I bless Yahweh!
Magũrũ makwa marũgamĩte handũ harĩa haigananu; nĩndĩrĩgoocaga Jehova ndĩ kĩũngano-inĩ kĩnene.
