Psalms 19
1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. The heavens declare the glory of God. The expanse shows his handiwork.
Thaburi ya Daudi Igũrũ riumbũraga riiri wa Mũrungu; namo matu mamemerekagia wĩra wa moko make.
2 Day after day they pour out speech, and night after night they display knowledge.
Mũthenya ũkinyagĩria mũthenya ũrĩa ũngĩ ũhoro; naguo ũtukũ ũkamenyithia ũtukũ ũrĩa ũngĩ ũhoro wa riiri ũcio.
3 There is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard.
Gũtirĩ mĩario kana rũthiomi kũrĩa mũgambo wacio ũtaiguĩkaga.
4 Their voice has gone out through all the earth, their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun,
Mũgambo wacio ũthiiaga thĩ yothe, nacio ciugo ciacio igakinya ituri cia thĩ. Ngai nĩambĩire riũa hema kũu igũrũ,
5 which is as a bridegroom coming out of his room, like a strong man rejoicing to run his course.
narĩo riumaga rĩhaana ta mũhikania akiuma nyũmba yake, o na kana ta mũtengʼeri njoorua akĩhĩĩahĩĩa gũtengʼera.
6 His going out is from the end of the heavens, his circuit to its ends. There is nothing hidden from its heat.
Rĩrathagĩra mwena-inĩ ũmwe wa kũu igũrũ, na rĩgathiũrũrũka nginya mwena ũrĩa ũngĩ; gũtirĩ kĩndũ gĩtakinyagĩrwo nĩ ũrugarĩ warĩo.
7 The LORD’s law is perfect, restoring the soul. The LORD’s covenant is sure, making wise the simple.
Watho wa Jehova nĩ mũkinyanĩru, ũriũkagia ngoro ya mũndũ. Kĩrĩra kĩa Jehova nĩ gĩa kwĩhokeka, nĩkĩũhĩgagia mũndũ ũrĩa ũtarĩ mũũgĩ.
8 The LORD’s precepts are right, rejoicing the heart. The LORD’s commandment is pure, enlightening the eyes.
Mataaro ma Jehova nĩmarũngĩrĩru, nĩ makenagia ngoro. Maathani ma Jehova nĩ macangararu, maheaga maitho ũtheri.
9 The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever. The LORD’s ordinances are true, and righteous altogether.
Gwĩtigĩra Jehova nĩ ũndũ mũtheru, gũtũũraga nginya tene. Matua ma Jehova nĩ ma ma, na mothe nĩ ma kĩhooto.
10 They are more to be desired than gold, yes, than much fine gold, sweeter also than honey and the extract of the honeycomb.
Maũndũ macio nĩ ma goro gũkĩra thahabu, o na gũkĩra thahabu ĩrĩa therie mũno; marĩ mũrĩo gũkĩra ũũkĩ, o ũũkĩ ũrĩa uumĩte igua-inĩ.
11 Moreover your servant is warned by them. In keeping them there is great reward.
Ningĩ nĩmo mataaraga ndungata yaku; kũmamenyerera nĩ ũndũ ũrĩ irĩhi inene.
12 Who can discern his errors? Forgive me from hidden errors.
Nũũ ũngĩhota gũkũũrana mahĩtia make? Ndekera mahĩtia makwa ma hitho-inĩ.
13 Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins. Let them not have dominion over me. Then I will be upright. I will be blameless and innocent of great transgression.
Ningĩ rigagĩrĩria ndungata yaku ndĩkeehie mehia ma mwĩĩro o namo; ndũkanareke mehia macio manjathe. Nĩguo ndĩrĩikaraga itarĩ na ũcuuke, na itarĩ na mehia ma kwagarara watho.
14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, LORD, my rock, and my redeemer.
Ciugo cia kanua gakwa na matarania ma ngoro yakwa irogũkenia maitho-inĩ maku, Wee Jehova, o Wee Rwaro rwakwa rwa Ihiga, na Mũkũũri wakwa.
