Psalms 69
1 For the chief musician; set to Shoshannim. A psalm of David. Save me, God; for the waters have put my life in danger.
Thaburi ya Daudi Wee Ngai-rĩ, honokia, nĩgũkorwo maaĩ maanginyĩte o ngingo.
2 I sink in deep mire, where there is no place to stand; I have come into deep waters, where the floods flow over me.
Ndĩratoonyerera mũtondo-inĩ mũriku, handũ hatarĩ na ha gũkinyithia kũgũrũ. Nginyĩte maaĩ-inĩ harĩa hariku; mũiyũro wa maaĩ nĩũhumbĩkanĩtie.
3 I am weary with my crying; my throat is dry; my eyes fail while I wait for my God.
Nĩnogete mũno nĩ gũkaya ndeithio; mũmero wakwa nĩ mũngʼaru. Maitho makwa nĩmorĩtwo nĩ hinya nĩgũcũthĩrĩria Ngai wakwa.
4 Those who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs on my head; those who would cut me off, being my enemies for wrong reasons, are mighty; what I did not steal, I have to give back.
Andũ arĩa maathũire hatarĩ gĩtũmi nĩ aingĩ gũkĩra njuĩrĩ cia mũtwe wakwa; thũ ciakwa iria iithũire hatarĩ gĩtũmi nĩ nyingĩ, o icio injaragia iniine. Hatagĩrĩrio njookie kĩndũ itaiyĩte.
5 God, you know my foolishness, and my sins are not hidden from you.
Wee Ngai nĩũũĩ ũrimũ wakwa; mahĩtia makwa matingĩhithĩka harĩwe.
6 Let not those who hope in you be put to shame because of me, Lord Yahweh of hosts; let not those who seek you be brought to dishonor because of me, God of Israel.
Andũ arĩa makwĩhokete, maroaga gũconorithio nĩ ũndũ wakwa, Wee Mwathani, Jehova Mwene-Hinya-wothe; arĩa makũrongoragia maroaga kũnyararwo nĩ ũndũ wakwa, Wee Ngai wa Isiraeli.
7 For your sake I have borne rebuke; shame has covered my face.
Nĩgũkorwo nĩngirĩrĩirie kũmenwo nĩ ũndũ waku, naguo ũthiũ wakwa nĩũhumbĩtwo thoni.
8 I have become a stranger to my brothers, an alien to my mother's children.
Nduĩkĩte ta mũgeni harĩ ariũ a baba, ngatuĩka ta mũndũ wa kũngĩ harĩ ariũ a maitũ;
9 For the zeal of your house has eaten me up, and the rebukes of those who rebuke you have fallen on me.
kĩyo kĩrĩa ndĩ nakĩo kĩa nyũmba yaku nĩkĩo kĩrandĩa, irumi cia arĩa makũrumaga nĩ niĩ igũĩrĩire.
10 When I wept and did not eat food, they insulted me.
Rĩrĩa ngũrĩra na ngehinga kũrĩa irio, no nginya ngirĩrĩrie kũnyũrũrio;
11 When I made sackcloth my clothing, I became the object of a proverb to them.
rĩrĩa ndehumba nguo ya ikũnia, andũ no gũũthekerera.
12 Those who sit in the city gate talk about me; I am a song of drunkards.
Andũ arĩa maikaraga kĩhingo-inĩ gĩa itũũra nĩ niĩ manyũrũragia, na nduĩkĩte rwĩmbo rwa arĩĩu.
13 But as for me, my prayer is to you, Yahweh, at a time that you will accept; answer me in the trustworthiness of your salvation.
Wee Jehova, nĩndakũhooya hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ya gwĩtĩkĩrĩka nĩwe; Wee Ngai, nĩ ũndũ wa wendo waku mũnene, ũnjĩtĩke na ũhonokio waku wa ma.
14 Pull me out of the mire, and do not let me sink; let me be taken away from those who hate me and rescued out of the deep waters.
Honokia ũndute mũtondo-inĩ, ndũkareke ndoonyerere; ndeithũra kuuma kũrĩ arĩa maathũire, ũndute kuuma maaĩ-inĩ marĩa mariku.
15 Do not let the floods of water overwhelm me, neither let the deep swallow me up. Do not let the pit shut its mouth on me.
Ndũkareke mũiyũro wa maaĩ ũũhubĩkanie, kana merio nĩ kũrĩa kũriku, o na kana ndumĩrio kanua nĩ irima rĩa gĩkuũ.
16 Answer me, Yahweh, for your covenant faithfulness is good; because your mercies for me are many, turn to me.
Wee Jehova, njĩtĩka nĩ ũndũ wa wega wa wendo waku; nĩ ũndũ wa tha ciaku nyingĩ wĩhũgũre ũnjookerere.
17 Do not hide your face from your servant, for I am in distress; answer me quickly.
Ndũkahithe ndungata yaku ũthiũ waku; njĩtĩka narua, nĩgũkorwo ndĩ thĩĩna-inĩ.
18 Come to me and redeem me. Because of my enemies, ransom me.
Ũka hakuhĩ ũndeithũre; honokia kuuma kũrĩ thũ ciakwa.
19 You know my rebuke, my shame, and my dishonor; my adversaries are all before you.
We nĩũũĩ ũrĩa nyũrũrĩtio, na ngaconorithio na ngahumbwo thoni; thũ ciakwa ciothe irĩ mbere yaku.
20 Rebuke has broken my heart; I am full of heaviness; I looked for someone to take pity, but there was none; I looked for comforters, but I found none.
Kũnyũrũrio nĩ gũũthuthĩte ngoro ngatigwo itarĩ na mwĩhoko; ndeetereire nyone wa kũnjiguĩra tha, no ndiigana kũmuona, ngĩeterera nyone andũ a kũũhooreria, no ndiamonire.
21 They gave me poison for my food; in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
Maanjĩkĩrĩire maaĩ ma nyongo irio-inĩ ciakwa, na ndanyoota makĩĩhe thiki nyue.
22 Let their table before them become a snare; when they think they are in safety, let it become a trap.
Metha ĩrĩa maarĩirwo ĩrotuĩka mũtego; ĩrotuĩka ihũũra o na mũtego wa kũmagwatia.
23 Let their eyes be darkened so that they cannot see; and always make their loins shake.
Maitho mao marogĩa nduma matige gũcooka kuona, nayo mĩgongo yao ĩrohocerera nginya tene.
24 Pour out your indignation on them, and let the fierceness of your anger overtake them.
Maitũrũrĩre mangʼũrĩ maku; makinyĩrie marakara maku mahiũ.
25 Let their place be a desolation; let no one live in their tents.
Mĩciĩ yao ĩrokira ihooru; kũroaga mũndũ wa gũtũũra hema-inĩ ciao.
26 For they persecuted the one you struck down. They repeated the account of the pain of those you have wounded.
Nĩgũkorwo manyariiraga arĩa wee ũgurarĩtie, na makaaria ũhoro wa ruo rwa arĩa ũtiihĩtie.
27 Accuse them of having committed iniquity after iniquity; do not let them come into your righteous victory.
Mathitangĩre o ngero thuutha wa ĩrĩa ĩngĩ; ndũkanareke magatoonya ũhonokanio-inĩ waku.
28 Let them be blotted out of the Book of Life and not be written down along with the righteous.
Marothario ibuku-inĩ rĩa muoyo, mage kwandĩkwo mũtaratara-inĩ wa andũ arĩa athingu.
29 But I am poor and sorrowful; let your salvation, God, set me up on high.
Ndĩ na ruo na ngathĩĩnĩka; Wee Ngai kĩĩhonokie na ũngitĩre.
30 I will praise the name of God with a song and will exalt him with thanksgiving.
Nĩngũgooca rĩĩtwa rĩa Ngai na rwĩmbo, na ndĩmũtũũgĩrie ngĩmũcookagĩria ngaatho.
31 That will please Yahweh better than an ox or a bull that has horns and hooves.
Naguo ũndũ ũcio nĩũgũgĩkenia Jehova gũkĩra kũmũhe ndegwa, na gũkĩra ndegwa nene ĩrĩ na hĩa na mahũngũ.
32 The meek have seen it and are glad; you who seek after God, let your hearts live.
Andũ arĩa athĩĩni mona ũguo nĩmagakena; inyuĩ arĩa mũrongoragia Ngai, ngoro cianyu iroarahũka!
33 For Yahweh hears the needy and does not despise his prisoners.
Jehova nĩathikagĩrĩria arĩa abatari, na ndangĩnyarara andũ ake moohetwo.
34 Let heaven and earth praise him, the seas and everything that moves in them.
Igũrũ na thĩ nĩimũgooce, o na maria marĩa manene na kĩrĩa gĩothe gĩthiiagĩra thĩinĩ wamo,
35 For God will save Zion and will rebuild the cities of Judah; the people will live there and have it as a possession.
nĩgũkorwo Ngai nĩakahonokia Zayuni, na aake matũũra marĩa manene ma Juda rĩngĩ. Hĩndĩ ĩyo andũ nĩmagatũũra kuo na makwĩgwatĩre;
36 His servants' descendants will inherit it; and those who love his name will live there.
ciana cia ndungata ciake nĩigakũgaya, nao arĩa mendete rĩĩtwa rĩake nĩmagatũũra kuo.
