Psalms 71
1 In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion.
Wee Jehova-rĩ, njũrĩire harĩwe; ndũkanakĩreke njonorithio.
2 Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thy ear to me, and save me.
Ndeithũra na ũũhonokie nĩ ũndũ wa ũthingu waku; thikĩrĩria ũũhonokie.
3 Be thou my strong habitation, where I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress.
Tuĩka rwaro rwakwa rwa ihiga rwa kũũrĩra, harĩa ingĩthiĩ hĩndĩ ciothe; athana honokio, nĩgũkorwo nĩwe rwaro rwakwa rwa ihiga na kĩirigo gĩakwa kĩa hinya.
4 Deliver me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
Honokia, Wee Ngai wakwa, kuuma guoko-inĩ kwa andũ arĩa aaganu, ũndeithũre kuuma ngumbaco ya andũ arĩa ooru na matarĩ tha.
5 For thou art my hope, O Lord GOD: thou art my trust from my youth.
Nĩgũkorwo ũkoretwo ũrĩ kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro gĩakwa, Wee Mwathani Jehova, ũtũũrĩte ũrĩ mwĩhoko wakwa kuuma ndĩ o mũnini.
6 By thee have I been sustained from the womb: thou art he that took me out of my mother’s womb: my praise shall be continually of thee.
Kuuma gũciarwo gwakwa ndũũrĩte ngwĩhokete; nĩwe wandutire nda ya maitũ. Ngũtũũra ngũgoocaga.
7 I am as a wonder to many; but thou art my strong refuge.
Nĩnduĩkĩte ta kĩndũ gĩa kũgegania harĩ andũ aingĩ, no nĩwe rĩũrĩro rĩakwa rĩa hinya.
8 Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honour all the day.
Kanua gakwa kaiyũrĩte ũgooci waku, gatindaga gakĩgana riiri waku mũthenya wothe.
9 Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth.
Ndũkande hĩndĩ ya ũkũrũ; ndũkanandiganĩrie rĩrĩa itarĩ na hinya.
10 For my enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together,
Nĩgũkorwo thũ ciakwa ciaragia ũhoro wa kũnjũkĩrĩra; acio metagĩrĩra kũnjũraga nĩmacokanĩtie ndundu.
11 Saying, God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him; for there is none to deliver him.
Moigaga atĩrĩ, “Ngai nĩamũtiganĩirie; hanyũkaniai nake mũmũnyiite, nĩgũkorwo ndarĩ mũndũ wa kũmũteithũra.”
12 O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help.
Wee Ngai, tiga kũndaihĩrĩria; Wee Ngai wakwa, ũka narua ũndeithie.
13 Let them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonour that seek my hurt.
Acio maathitangaga-rĩ, maroconoka na maniinwo; acio mendaga kũnjĩka ũũru, maronyararwo na maconorwo.
14 But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more.
No niĩ-rĩ, ndĩrĩkoragwo na kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro hĩndĩ ciothe; ndĩrĩkĩragĩrĩria gũkũgooca mũno makĩria.
15 My mouth shall show forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day; for I know not their numbers.
Kanua gakwa karĩganaga ũthingu waku, ndindage o ngĩgana ũhonokio waku mũthenya wothe, o na gũtuĩka ndiũĩ mũigana waguo.
16 I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only.
Wee Mwathani Jehova, ngũũka ngĩanagĩrĩra ciĩko ciaku cia hinya, nyanĩrĩre ũthingu waku, o ũthingu waku wiki.
17 O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and to this day have I declared thy wondrous works.
Kuuma ndĩ o mũnini, Wee Ngai, ũtũũrĩte ũndutaga, na nginyagia ũmũthĩ no nyumbũraga ciĩko ciaku cia magegania.
18 Now also when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have shown thy strength to this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come.
Wee Ngai, o na ndakũra ngĩe mbuĩ, ndũkanandiganĩrie, o nginya nyumbũre ũhoro wa ũhoti waku kũrĩ rũciaro rũrĩa rũrooka, na nyumbũre ũhoro wa hinya waku kũrĩ arĩa othe magooka thuutha.
19 Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, who hast done great things: O God, who is like thee!
Wee Ngai-rĩ, ũthingu waku ũkinyĩte o matu-inĩ, Wee wĩkĩte maũndũ manene. Wee Ngai-rĩ, nũũ ũngĩ ũhaana ta we?
20 Thou, who hast shown me great and many troubles, wilt revive me again, and shalt bring me again from the depths of the earth.
O na gũtuĩka nĩũtũmĩte nyone mathĩĩna maingĩ na marũrũ-rĩ, nĩũkariũkia muoyo wakwa rĩngĩ; nĩũkandiũkia rĩngĩ kuuma thĩ kũrĩa kũriku.
21 Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.
Nĩũkongerera gĩtĩĩo gĩakwa, na ũũhoorerie o rĩngĩ.
22 I will also praise thee with the psaltery, even thy truth, O my God: to thee will I sing with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel.
Ndĩrĩkũgoocaga na kĩnanda kĩa mũgeeto nĩ ũndũ wa wĩhokeku waku, Wee Ngai wakwa; ndĩrĩinaga ngũgoocage na kĩnanda gĩa kĩnũbi, Wee Mũtheru wa Isiraeli.
23 My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing to thee; and my soul, whom thou hast redeemed.
Mĩromo yakwa nĩrĩanagĩrĩra nĩ gũkena rĩrĩa ngũina ngũgooce, o niĩ, ũrĩa Wee ũkũũrĩte.
24 My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought to shame, that seek my hurt.
Rũrĩmĩ rwakwa rũrĩrahaga ũhoro wa ciĩko ciaku cia ũthingu mũthenya wothe, nĩgũkorwo arĩa meendaga kũnjĩka ũũru nĩmaconorithĩtio na makarigiicwo.
