Thaburi 108

1 Thaburi ya Daudi Wee Ngai, ngoro yakwa nĩĩkindĩirie; nĩkũina ngũina, ngũgooce na rwĩmbo na muoyo wakwa wothe.

A song, a psalm of David. My heart is fixed, God; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises also with my honored heart.

2 Arahũka, wee kĩnanda kĩa mũgeeto na gĩa kĩnũbi! Ngwarahũka ruoro rũgĩtema.

Wake up, lute and harp; I will wake up the dawn.

3 Wee Jehova nĩngũkũgooca, ngũgooce gatagatĩ-inĩ ka ndũrĩrĩ; nĩngũkũinĩra ndĩ gatagatĩ-inĩ ka andũ.

I will give thanks to you, Yahweh, among the peoples; I will sing praises to you among the nations.

4 Nĩgũkorwo wendo waku nĩ mũnene, ũkaraiha gũkĩra igũrũ; wĩhokeku waku ũkinyaga o matu-inĩ.

For your covenant faithfulness is great above the heavens; and your trustworthiness reaches to the skies.

5 Wee Ngai tũũgĩra, ũtũũgĩrio igũrũ rĩa igũrũ, riiri waku nĩũgĩe igũrũ rĩa thĩ yothe.

Be exalted, God, above the heavens, and may your glory be exalted over all the earth.

6 Tũhonokie na ũtũteithie na guoko gwaku kwa ũrĩo, nĩguo ũteithũre arĩa wendete.

So that those you love may be rescued, rescue us with your right hand and answer me.

7 Ngai nĩarĩtie arĩ handũ hake harĩa haamũre, akoiga atĩrĩ: “Nĩngatũranga Shekemu ndĩ na gĩkeno kĩingĩ, na thimĩre andũ akwa Gĩtuamba gĩa Sukothu.

God has spoken in his holiness; “I will rejoice; I will divide Shechem and apportion out the Valley of Succoth.

8 Gileadi nĩ gwakwa, o na Manase no gwakwa; Efiraimu nĩ ngũbia yakwa ya kĩgera, na Juda nĩ mũthĩgi wakwa wa ũthamaki.

Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is my helmet; Judah is my scepter.

9 Moabi nĩ kĩraĩ gĩakwa gĩa gwĩthambĩra, na Edomu nĩho njikagia kĩraatũ gĩakwa; nĩngwanĩrĩra nĩ ũrĩa ndooretie bũrũri wa Filistia.”

Moab is my washbasin; over Edom I will throw my shoe; I will shout in triumph because of Philistia.

10 Nũũ ũkũnginyia itũũra rĩrĩa inene rĩirigĩre? Nũũ ũkũndongoria andware Edomu?

Who will bring me into the strong city? Who will lead me to Edom?”

11 Githĩ tiwe, Wee Ngai, o Wee ũtũtiganĩirie, na ũgatiga gũtwarana na mbũtũ ciitũ cia ita?

God, have you not rejected us? You do not go into battle with our army.

12 Tũteithie ũtũhootanĩre harĩ thũ ciitũ, nĩgũkorwo ũteithio wa mũndũ nĩ wa tũhũ.

Give us help against the enemy, for man's help is futile.

13 Ngai arĩ hamwe na ithuĩ nĩtũkũhootana, na nĩakarangĩrĩria thũ ciitũ thĩ.

We will triumph with God's help; he will trample down our enemies.
