Thaburi 102
1 Wee Jehova, igua ihooya rĩakwa; reke gũkaya gwakwa ngĩhooya ũteithio gũgũkinyĩre.
A PRAYER OF THE AFFLICTED WHEN HE IS FEEBLE, AND POURS OUT HIS COMPLAINT BEFORE YHWH. O YHWH, hear my prayer, indeed, my cry comes to You.
2 Tiga kũũhitha ũthiũ waku rĩrĩa ndĩ mĩnyamaro-inĩ. Inamĩrĩria gũtũ gwaku ũnjigue; ndagũkaĩra, njĩtĩka o narua.
Do not hide Your face from me, In a day of my adversity, Incline Your ear to me, In the day I call, hurry, answer me.
3 Nĩgũkorwo matukũ makwa marathira o ta ũrĩa ndogo ĩthiraga; namo mahĩndĩ makwa maraakana o ta gĩcinga.
For my days have been consumed in smoke, And my bones have burned as a firebrand.
4 Ngoro yakwa ĩringĩkĩte na ĩkahooha o ta nyeki; ndiganĩirwo o na nĩ kũrĩa irio.
Struck as the herb, and withered, is my heart, For I have forgotten to eat my bread.
5 Tondũ wa ũrĩa ndĩracaaya nyanĩrĩire, hĩnjĩte ngatigara o gĩkonde na mahĩndĩ.
From the voice of my sighing My bone has cleaved to my flesh.
6 Haana ta ndundu ya werũ-inĩ, ngahaana ta ndundu ĩrĩa ĩikaraga kũrĩa kwanangĩku.
I have been like to a pelican of the wilderness, I have been as an owl of the dry places.
7 Ndaaraga itarĩ toro; haanĩte ta nyoni ĩrĩ o iiki nyũmba igũrũ.
I have watched, and I am As a bird alone on the roof.
8 Mũthenya wothe thũ ciakwa itindaga igĩĩthirĩkia; acio maanyũrũragia mahũthagĩra rĩĩtwa rĩakwa taarĩ kĩrumi.
All the day my enemies reproached me, Those mad at me have sworn against me.
9 Nĩgũkorwo ndĩĩaga mũhu taarĩ irio ciakwa, na kĩrĩa nyuuaga ngagĩtukania na maithori,
Because I have eaten ashes as bread, And have mingled my drink with weeping,
10 tondũ wa mangʼũrĩ maku manene, ũnjoete na igũrũ ũkanjikia mwena-inĩ.
From Your indignation and Your wrath, For You have lifted me up, And cast me down.
11 Matukũ makwa mahaana o ta kĩĩruru kĩa hwaĩ-inĩ; hoohaga ta nyeki.
My days [are] stretched out as a shadow, And I am withered as the herb.
12 No rĩrĩ, Wee Jehova ũgũtũũra ũikarĩire gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene nginya tene na tene; ngumo yaku ĩgũtũũra njiarwa na njiarwa.
And You, O YHWH, abide for all time, And Your memorial from generation to generation.
13 Wee nĩũkwarahũka ũiguĩre itũũra rĩa Zayuni tha, nĩgũkorwo ihinda rĩa kũrĩĩka wega nĩ ikinyu; ihinda rĩrĩa rĩathĩrĩre nĩ ikinyu.
You rise—You pity Zion, For the time to favor her, For the appointed time has come.
14 Nĩgũkorwo mahiga makuo nĩmakenagĩrwo nĩ ndungata ciaku; o na rũkũngũ rwakuo nĩrũtũmaga iringwo nĩ tha.
For Your servants have been pleased with her stones, And they favor her dust.
15 Ndũrĩrĩ nĩigeetigĩra rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova, athamaki othe a thĩ mekĩrĩre riiri waku.
And nations fear the Name of YHWH, And all kings of the earth Your glory,
16 Nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩagaaka itũũra rĩa Zayuni rĩngĩ, na eyumĩrie arĩ na riiri wake.
For YHWH has built Zion, He has been seen in His glory,
17 Nĩakaigua mahooya ma andũ arĩa aagi; ndakanyarara mahooya mao.
He turned to the prayer of the destitute, And He has not despised their prayer.
18 Ũhoro ũyũ nĩwandĩkwo nĩ ũndũ wa rũciaro rũrĩa rũgooka, nĩguo andũ arĩa mataciarĩtwo makaagooca Jehova:
This is written for a later generation, And the people created praise YAH.
19 “Jehova nĩacũthĩrĩirie thĩ arĩ harĩa hake haamũre kũu igũrũ; arĩ kũu igũrũ Jehova nĩkũrora aarorire thĩ,
For He has looked From the high place of His sanctuary. YHWH looked attentively from the heavens to earth,
20 nĩguo aigue gũcaaya kwa arĩa moheetwo, na ohorithie arĩa maatuĩrĩirwo gũkua.”
To hear the groan of the prisoner, To loose sons of death,
21 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova nĩrĩkoimbũrwo kũu Zayuni, na nĩakagoocwo kũu Jerusalemu
To declare in Zion the Name of YHWH, And His praise in Jerusalem,
22 rĩrĩa andũ a ndũrĩrĩ na mothamaki makoongana, mathathaiye Jehova.
In the peoples being gathered together, And the kingdoms—to serve YHWH.
23 Hĩndĩ ya mũtũũrĩre wakwa nĩanyiihirie hinya wakwa; nĩakuhĩhirie matukũ makwa.
He has humbled my power in the way, He has shortened my days.
24 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩkiuga atĩrĩ: “Wee Ngai wakwa, ndũkanjũrage o rĩrĩa ndaiganĩria matukũ makwa; wee-rĩ, mĩaka yaku ĩthiiaga o na mbere nginya njiarwa na njiarwa.
I say, “My God, do not take me up in the midst of my days,” Your years [are] through all generations.
25 O kĩambĩrĩria-inĩ, nĩwaarire mĩthingi ya thĩ, o narĩo igũrũ nĩ wĩra wa moko maku.
You founded the earth before time, And the heavens [are] the work of Your hands.
26 Icio nĩgũthira igaathira, no wee nĩgũtũũra ũgaatũũra; igaakũra o ta nguo, ithire. Ũgaacigarũrĩra ta nguo, icooke iteeo.
They perish, and You remain, And all of them become old as a garment, You change them as clothing, And they are changed.
27 No Wee ndũgarũrũkaga, nayo mĩaka yaku ndĩrĩ mũthia.
And You [are] the same, and Your years are not finished.
28 Ciana cia ndungata ciaku igaatũũra na thayũ mbere yaku; nacio njiaro ciacio cigaikara irũmĩte irĩ mbere yaku.”
The sons of Your servants continue, And their seed is established before You!
