Thaburi 109
1 Thaburi ya Daudi Wee Ngai, ũrĩa ngoocaga, ndũgaakire,
To him that excelleth. A Psalme of David. Holde not thy tongue, O God of my praise.
2 nĩgũkorwo andũ arĩa aaganu na a maheeni nĩmathamĩtie tũnua nĩguo manjũkĩrĩre; nĩmarĩtie ũhoro wakwa na rũrĩmĩ rwa maheeni.
For the mouth of the wicked, and the mouth full of deceite are opened vpon me: they haue spoken to me with a lying tongue.
3 Mandigicĩirie makĩaragia ndeto cia rũthũũro; maatharĩkagĩra hatarĩ gĩtũmi.
They compassed me about also with words of hatred, and fought against me without a cause.
4 Handũ ha wendo ũrĩa ndĩmendete naguo, o nĩ gũũthitanga maathitangaga, no niĩ nĩkũhooya ndĩmahooyagĩra.
For my friendship they were mine aduersaries, but I gaue my selfe to praier.
5 Mandĩhaga wega na ũũru, na makandĩha wendani na rũthũũro.
And they haue rewarded me euil for good, and hatred for my friendship.
6 Mũndũ ũrĩa wĩkĩte ũguo mũigĩre mũndũ mũũru amũũkĩrĩre; mwena wake wa ũrĩo nĩkũrũgame mũndũ wa kũmũthitanga.
Set thou the wicked ouer him, and let the aduersarie stand at his right hand.
7 Aacirithio-rĩ, nĩatuuagwo mwĩhia, na kũhooya gwake gũgĩtuĩke no kwĩhia.
Whe he shalbe iudged, let him be condemned, and let his praier be turned into sinne.
8 Matukũ make maronyiiha; ũtongoria wake ũrooywo nĩ mũndũ ũngĩ.
Let his daies be fewe, and let another take his charge.
9 Ciana ciake irotuĩka cia ngoriai, na mũtumia wake atuĩke wa ndigwa.
Let his children be fatherlesse, and his wife a widowe.
10 Ciana ciake irotuĩka njara-rũhĩ cia gũcangacanga; iroingatwo ciume mĩciĩ yao ĩyo mĩanangĩku.
Let his children be vagabonds and beg and seeke bread, comming out of their places destroyed.
11 Indo ciake ciothe irotahwo nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa marĩ thiirĩ nake; andũ a kũngĩ nĩmeyoere maciaro ma wĩra wake.
Let the extortioner catch al that he hath, and let the strangers spoile his labour.
12 Aroaga mũndũ ũngĩmwonia ũtugi, o na kana mũndũ ũngĩiguĩra ciana icio ciake cia ngoriai tha.
Let there be none to extend mercie vnto him: neither let there be any to shewe mercie vpon his fatherlesse children.
13 Njiaro ciake iroeherio, na marĩĩtwa maacio mathario kuuma rũciaro-inĩ rũrĩa rũgooka.
Let his posteritie be destroied, and in the generation following let their name be put out.
14 Waganu wa maithe make ũrotũũra ũririkanagwo nĩ Jehova; wĩhia wa nyina ũroaga gũgaathario o na rĩ.
Let the iniquitie of his fathers bee had in remembrance with the Lord: and let not the sinne of his mother be done away.
15 Mehia mao marotũũra hĩndĩ ciothe marĩ mbere ya Jehova, nĩguo akaaniina kũririkanwo kwao gũkũ thĩ.
But let them alway be before the Lord, that he may cut off their memorial from ye earth.
16 Nĩgũkorwo mũndũ ũcio we ndarĩ hĩndĩ eciiragia ũhoro wa gũtugana, no aingatithagia mũndũ ũrĩa mũthĩĩni, na ũrĩa mũbatari, o na ũrĩa mũthuthĩku ngoro, o nginya akamooraga.
Because he remembred not to shew mercie, but persecuted the afflicted and poore man, and the sorowfull hearted to slay him.
17 Aronyiitwo nĩ kĩrumi, tondũ we endete o kũruma andũ manyiitwo nĩ kĩrumi; kĩrathimo kĩromũraihĩrĩria, tondũ we ndendaga kũrathimana.
As he loued cursing, so shall it come vnto him, and as he loued not blessing, so shall it be farre from him.
18 Ehumbaga kĩrumi taarĩ nguo; kĩamũtoonyire mwĩrĩ ta maaĩ, o na gĩkĩmũtoonya mahĩndĩ-inĩ taarĩ maguta.
As he clothed himselfe with cursing like a rayment, so shall it come into his bowels like water, and like oyle into his bones.
19 Kĩrotuĩka taarĩ nguo ya igũrũ erigiicĩirie, na gĩtuĩke taarĩ mũcibi ehotorete nginya tene.
Let it be vnto him as a garment to couer him, and for a girdle, wherewith he shalbe alway girded.
20 Rĩrĩ nĩrĩtuĩke irĩhi rĩa Jehova kũrĩ arĩa maathitangaga, o kũrĩ arĩa maaragia ũũru igũrũ rĩakwa.
Let this be the rewarde of mine aduersarie from the Lord, and of them, that speake euill against my soule.
21 No rĩrĩ, Wee Mwathani Jehova, njĩka maũndũ mega nĩ ũndũ wa rĩĩtwa rĩaku; ndeithũra tondũ wa wega wa wendo waku.
But thou, O Lord my God, deale with me according vnto thy Name: deliuer me, (for thy mercie is good)
22 Nĩgũkorwo ndĩ mũthĩĩni na mũbatari, nayo ngoro yakwa nĩĩgurarĩtio thĩinĩ wakwa.
Because I am poore and needie, and mine heart is wounded within me.
23 Ndĩ hakuhĩ kũbuĩria o ta kĩĩruru kĩa hwaĩ-inĩ; hurutagwo nĩ rũhuho o ta ngigĩ.
I depart like the shadowe that declineth, and am shaken off as the grashopper.
24 Maru makwa nĩmaregerete nĩ kwĩima kũrĩa; mwĩrĩ wakwa ũhĩnjĩte nĩ kwaga maguta.
My knees are weake through fasting, and my flesh hath lost all fatnes.
25 Nduĩkĩte kĩndũ gĩa kũnyũrũrio nĩ andũ arĩa maathitangaga; rĩrĩa maanyona, mainainagia mĩtwe.
I became also a rebuke vnto them: they that looked vpon me, shaked their heads.
26 Wee Jehova Ngai wakwa, ndeithia; honokia kũringana na wendo waku.
Helpe me, O Lord my God: saue me according to thy mercie.
27 Tũma mamenye atĩ kũu nĩ guoko gwaku, mamenye atĩ Wee Jehova, nĩwe wĩkĩte ũguo.
And they shall know, that this is thine hand, and that thou, Lord, hast done it.
28 O nĩ marumanage, no wee ũrathimanage; rĩrĩa maatharĩkĩra nĩmarĩconorithagio, no ndungata yaku no gũkena ĩrĩkenaga.
Though they curse, yet thou wilt blesse: they shall arise and be confounded, but thy seruant shall reioyce.
29 Arĩa maathitangaga makaahumbwo njono na mohwo thoni taarĩ nguo ya igũrũ.
Let mine aduersaries be clothed with shame, and let them couer themselues with their confusion, as with a cloke.
30 Nĩndĩrĩkumagia Jehova mũno na kanua gakwa; nĩndĩrĩmũgoocaga ndĩ kĩrĩndĩ-inĩ kĩnene.
I will giue thankes vnto the Lord greatly with my mouth and praise him among ye multitude.
31 Nĩgũkorwo arũgamaga guoko-inĩ kwa ũrĩo kwa mũndũ ũrĩa mũbatari, nĩguo ahonokagie muoyo wake harĩ andũ arĩa mangĩmũtua nĩ mwĩhia.
For he will stand at the right hand of the poore, to saue him from them that woulde condemne his soule.
