Psalms 90
1 A Prayer of Moses, the man of God. Lord, a habitation Thou — Thou hast been, To us — in generation and generation,
Ihooya rĩa Musa, ndungata ya Ngai JEHOVA, nĩwe ũtũũrĩte ũrĩ gĩikaro giitũ kuuma njiarwa na njiarwa.
2 Before mountains were brought forth, And Thou dost form the earth and the world, Even from age unto age Thou [art] God.
O mbere ya irĩma kũgĩa kuo kana ũkĩũmba thĩ na mabũrũri, kuuma tene nginya tene, Wee ũrĩ o Mũrungu.
3 Thou turnest man unto a bruised thing, And sayest, Turn back, ye sons of men.
Wee ũcookagia andũ magatuĩka rũkũngũ, ũkoiga atĩrĩ, “Cookai rũkũngũ-inĩ, inyuĩ ciana ici cia andũ.”
4 For a thousand years in Thine eyes [are] as yesterday, For it passeth on, yea, a watch by night.
Nĩgũkorwo mĩaka ngiri harĩwe no ta mũthenya wa ira ũrĩa ũrahĩtũkire, kana ta ituanĩra rĩmwe rĩa arangĩri a ũtukũ.
5 Thou hast inundated them, they are asleep, In the morning as grass he changeth.
Ũhaataga andũ, ũkameeheria, magakoma toro wa gĩkuũ; andũ mahaana ta nyeki ĩrĩa ĩringũkaga rũciinĩ:
6 In the morning it flourisheth, and hath changed, At evening it is cut down, and hath withered.
o na gũtuĩka rũciinĩ nĩĩringũkaga, hwaĩ-inĩ ĩhoohaga, ĩkooma.
7 For we were consumed in Thine anger, And in Thy fury we have been troubled.
Tũniinagwo nĩ marakara maku, na tũkamakio mũno nĩ marũrũ maku.
8 Thou hast set our iniquities before Thee, Our hidden things at the light of Thy face,
Nĩũigĩte wĩhia witũ o mbere yaku, mehia maitũ marĩa mahithe ũkamoimĩria o ũtheri-inĩ hau mbere yaku.
9 For all our days pined away in Thy wrath, We consumed our years as a (meditation)
Matukũ maitũ mothe maniinagwo nĩ mangʼũrĩ maku; tũninũkagia mĩaka iitũ na gũcaaya.
10 Days of our years, in them [are] seventy years, And if, by reason of might, eighty years, Yet [is] their enlargement labour and vanity, For it hath been cut off hastily, and we fly away.
Mũigana wa matukũ maitũ-rĩ, nĩ mĩaka mĩrongo mũgwanja, kana mĩrongo ĩnana, tũngĩkorwo tũrĩ na hinya; no rĩrĩ, mũigana wamo no thĩĩna na kĩeha, nĩgũkorwo mathiraga o narua, na ithuĩ tũgathiĩ, tũkabuĩria.
11 Who knoweth the power of Thine anger? And according to Thy fear — Thy wrath?
Nũũ ũũĩ hinya wa marakara maku? Nĩgũkorwo mangʼũrĩ maku nĩ manene o ta gwĩtigĩrwo kũrĩa wagĩrĩire.
12 To number our days aright let [us] know, And we bring the heart to wisdom.
Tuonie gũtara matukũ maitũ wega, nĩgeetha tũgĩe na ngoro ya ũũgĩ.
13 Turn back, O Jehovah, till when? And repent concerning Thy servants.
Wee Jehova, hoorera! Nĩ nginya rĩ? Iguĩra ndungata ciaku tha.
14 Satisfy us at morn [with] Thy kindness, And we sing and rejoice all our days.
Rũciinĩ tũhũũnagie na wendo waku ũtathiraga, nĩguo tũinage nĩ gũkena na tũcanjamũkage matukũ maitũ mothe.
15 Cause us to rejoice according to the days Wherein Thou hast afflicted us, The years we have seen evil.
Tũma tũkene matukũ maingĩ o ta marĩa ũtũnyamarĩtie, na mĩaka mĩingĩ o ta ĩrĩa tuonete thĩĩna.
16 Let Thy work appear unto Thy servants, And Thine honour on their sons.
Ndungata ciaku irokĩonio ciĩko ciaku, naguo riiri waku wonio ciana ciao.
17 And let the pleasantness of Jehovah our God be upon us, And the work of our hands establish on us, Yea, the work of our hands establish it!
Wega wa Mwathani Ngai witũ ũrogĩa na ithuĩ; tũma wĩra wa moko maitũ ũgaacĩre, ĩĩ-ni, kĩrũmie wĩra wa moko maitũ.
