< Psalms 27 >
1 By David. Jehovah [is] my light and my salvation, Whom do I fear? Jehovah [is] the strength of my life, Of whom am I afraid?
Thaburi ya Daudi Jehova nĩwe ũtheri wakwa na ũhonokio wakwa; ingĩgĩĩtigĩra ũ? Jehova nĩwe kĩĩhitho kĩa muoyo wakwa; ingĩkĩmakio nũũ?
2 When evil doers come near to me to eat my flesh, My adversaries and mine enemies to me, They have stumbled and fallen.
Rĩrĩa andũ arĩa ooru manjũkĩrĩra nĩguo matambuure nyama cia mwĩrĩ wakwa, o acio thũ ciakwa na arĩa marĩ muku na niĩ maatharĩkĩra-rĩ, marĩhĩngagwo makagũa.
3 Though a host doth encamp against me, My heart doth not fear, Though war riseth up against me, In this I [am] confident.
O na mbũtũ cia ita ingĩndigiicĩria, ngoro yakwa ndĩngĩĩtigĩra; o na ingĩũkĩrĩrwo nĩ ita, ndingĩgĩa na nganja.
4 One [thing] I asked of Jehovah — it I seek. My dwelling in the house of Jehovah, All the days of my life, To look on the pleasantness of Jehovah, And to inquire in His temple.
Ndĩ o ũndũ ũmwe njũũragia harĩ Jehova, na noguo thingataga: atĩ njikarage nyũmba ya Jehova matukũ mothe ma muoyo wakwa, ndĩĩonagĩre wega wa Jehova, na nduĩragie kĩrĩra ndĩ thĩinĩ wa hekarũ yake.
5 For He hideth me in a tabernacle in the day of evil, He hideth me in a secret place of His tent, On a rock he raiseth me up.
Nĩgũkorwo mũthenya wa thĩĩna-rĩ, akaangitĩra ndĩ hau gĩikaro-inĩ gĩake; nĩakahitha kĩĩgunyĩ-inĩ kĩa hema yake, na andũgamie igũrũ wa rwaro rwa ihiga.
6 And now, lifted up is my head, Above my enemies — my surrounders, And I sacrifice in His tent sacrifices of shouting, I sing, yea, I sing praise to Jehovah.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũtwe wakwa nĩũkambarario igũrũ wa thũ iria iithiũrũrũkĩirie; nĩngaruta igongona ngĩanagĩrĩra na gĩkeno ndĩ hema-inĩ yake; nĩngainĩra Jehova na ndĩmũgooce.
7 Hear, O Jehovah, my voice — I call, And favour me, and answer me.
Wee Jehova, igua mũgambo wakwa rĩrĩa ndagũkaĩra; njiguagĩra tha na ũnjĩtĩkage.
8 To Thee said my heart 'They sought my face, Thy face, O Jehovah, I seek.'
Ha ũhoro waku, ngoro yakwa yugaga atĩrĩ, “Rongoria ũthiũ wake!” Na niĩ ngoiga atĩrĩ, Wee Jehova, ũthiũ waku nĩguo ndĩ rongoragia.
9 Hide not Thy face from me, Turn not aside in anger Thy servant, My help Thou hast been. Leave me not, nor forsake me, O God of my salvation.
Ndũkaahithe ũthiũ waku, tiga kũingata ndungata yaku na marakara; Wee nĩwe ũtũũrĩte ũndeithagia. Ndũkandege kana ũndiganĩrie, Wee Ngai Mũhonokia wakwa.
10 When my father and my mother Have forsaken me, then doth Jehovah gather me.
O na baba na maitũ mangĩndiganĩria, Jehova nĩakanyamũkĩra.
11 Shew me, O Jehovah, Thy way, And lead me in a path of uprightness, For the sake of my beholders.
Wee Jehova nyonagĩrĩria njĩra yaku, na ũngeragĩrie njĩra ĩrĩa nũngarũ, nĩ ũndũ wa thũ ciakwa.
12 Give me not to the will of my adversaries, For risen against me have false witnesses, And they breathe out violence to me.
Ndũkaneane kũrĩ arĩa marĩ muku na niĩ, nĩgũkorwo aira a maheeni nĩmanjũkĩrĩire, makaheeha mĩheehũ ya kũnjĩka ũũru.
13 I had not believed to look on the goodness of Jehovah In the land of the living!
Niĩ nĩnjĩtĩkĩtie ũũ: atĩ nĩngeyonera wega wa Jehova ndĩ bũrũri wa arĩa marĩ muoyo.
14 Look unto Jehovah — be strong, And He doth strengthen thy heart, Yea, look unto Jehovah!
Eterera o Jehova: gĩa na hinya na ũũmĩrĩrie ngoro, na weterere Jehova.
