Psalms 55
1 To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, [A Psalm] of David. Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication.
Thaburi ya Daudi Wee Ngai, thikĩrĩria ihooya rĩakwa, ndũkaage kũigua ithaithana rĩakwa;
2 Attend to me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise;
njigua na ũnjĩtĩke. Meciiria makwa nĩmathĩĩnĩtie na ndĩ mũgiĩku
3 Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked: for they cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath they hate me.
nĩ ũndũ wa mũgambo wa thũ, nĩ ũndũ wa gũkũũrĩrwo maitho nĩ andũ arĩa aaganu; tondũ o mandehagĩra o mathĩĩna, na makaanyũrũria marakarĩte.
4 My heart is severely pained within me: and the terrors of death have fallen upon me.
Ngoro yakwa ĩrĩ na ruo rũnene thĩinĩ wakwa, nganyiitwo nĩ imakania nene cia gĩkuũ.
5 Fearfulness and trembling have come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me.
Guoya na kũinaina nĩcindigiicĩirie; hubanĩirio nĩ kĩmako kĩnene.
6 And I said, O that I had wings like a dove! [for then] I would fly away, and be at rest.
Na niĩ ngiuga atĩrĩ, “Hĩ, naarĩ korwo ndĩ na mathagu ta ndutura! Ingĩũmbũka thiĩ ngahurũke,
7 Lo, [then] I would wander far off, [and] remain in the wilderness. (Selah)
ingĩũra thiĩ kũndũ kũraya, ngaikare werũ-inĩ;
8 I would hasten my escape from the windy storm [and] tempest.
ingĩhiũha thiĩ handũ harĩa ingĩĩgitia, kũraihu na rũhuho rũu rũnene na kĩhuhũkanio.”
9 Destroy, O LORD, [and] divide their tongues: for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
Wee Mwathani, andũ arĩa aaganu nĩmanyiitwo nĩ kĩrigiicano, ũhĩngĩcanie mĩario yao, nĩgũkorwo itũũra-inĩ inene nyonaga o haaro na ngũĩ.
10 Day and night they go about it upon its walls: mischief also and sorrow [are] in the midst of it.
Mũthenya na ũtukũ, andũ acio aaganu macangacangaga thingo-inĩ cia itũũra rĩu; narĩo rĩiyũrĩtwo nĩ rũmena na irumi.
11 Wickedness [is] in the midst of it: deceit and guile depart not from her streets.
Thĩinĩ wa itũũra rĩu inene no mwanangĩko ũrĩ kuo; kwĩhĩtanĩra na kũheenania ciyũrĩte njĩra-inĩ ciarĩo.
12 For [it was] not an enemy [that] reproached me; then I could have borne [it]: neither [was it] he that hated me [that] magnified [himself] against me; then I would have hid myself from him:
Korwo nĩ thũ ĩranuma-rĩ, no ngirĩrĩrie; korwo nĩ thũ ĩranjũkĩrĩra-rĩ, no ndĩhithe ndĩkanyone.
13 But [it was] thou, a man my equal, my guide, and my acquaintance.
No rĩrĩ, nĩwe mũndũ wa riika rĩakwa, mũthiritũ wakwa, mũrata wakwa ũrĩa twendanĩte mũno,
14 We took sweet counsel together, [and] walked to the house of God in company.
o wee twanakenanĩra tũrĩ na ngwatanĩro njega, tũgĩthiĩ hamwe na andũ arĩa angĩ nyũmba-inĩ ya Ngai.
15 Let death seize upon them, [and] let them go down quick into hell: for wickedness [is] in their dwellings, [and] among them. (Sheol h7585)
Gĩkuũ kĩrohubanĩria thũ ciakwa o rĩmwe; iroikũrũka mbĩrĩra irĩ muoyo, tondũ ũũru ũkoragwo ngoro-inĩ ciacio. (Sheol h7585)
16 As for me, I will call upon God: and the LORD will save me.
No rĩrĩ, niĩ nĩ Ngai ngayagĩra, nake Jehova nĩahonokagia.
17 Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he will hear my voice.
Hwaĩ-inĩ, na rũciinĩ, o na mĩaraho, ngayaga ndĩ mĩnyamaro-inĩ, nake nĩaiguaga mũgambo wakwa.
18 He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle [that was] against me: for there were many with me.
We angũũraga kuuma mbaara-inĩ ĩrĩa ndũithagio, ngoima itagurarĩtio, o na gwakorwo nĩ andũ aingĩ mandũithagia.
19 God will hear and afflict them, even he that abideth of old. (Selah) Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God.
Mũrungu ũrĩa ũtũũrĩte aikarĩire gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene nginya tene, nĩekũmaigua na amaherithie, andũ acio matagarũragĩra mĩthiĩre yao, o acio matetigagĩra Ngai.
20 He hath put forth his hands against such as are at peace with him: he hath broken his covenant.
Mũndũ ũcio tũrĩ thiritũ nake atharĩkagĩra arata ake, na agathũkia kĩrĩkanĩro gĩake.
21 [The words] of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war [was] in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet [were] they drawn swords.
Mĩario yake ĩnyorokete o ta thiagĩ, no rĩrĩ, mbaara ĩrĩ ngoro-inĩ yake; ciugo ciake ihooranagĩria gũkĩra maguta, no icio nĩ hiũ cia njora irĩ njomore.
22 Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he will sustain thee: he will never suffer the righteous to be moved.
Rekereria Jehova maũndũ marĩa magũtangaga, na nĩegũgũtiirĩrĩra; ndarĩ hĩndĩ akaareka mũndũ ũrĩa mũthingu agwe.
23 But thou, O God, wilt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee.
No rĩrĩ, Wee Ngai, nĩũkaharũrũkia andũ arĩa aaganu irima-inĩ rĩa ũmaramari; andũ arĩa manyootagĩra thakame na andũ a maheeni matigaakinyia nuthu ya matukũ mao. No niĩ hakwa-rĩ, Wee nĩwe ndĩĩhokete.
