Thaburi 109
1 Thaburi ya Daudi Wee Ngai, ũrĩa ngoocaga, ndũgaakire,
TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. O God of my praise, do not be silent,
2 nĩgũkorwo andũ arĩa aaganu na a maheeni nĩmathamĩtie tũnua nĩguo manjũkĩrĩre; nĩmarĩtie ũhoro wakwa na rũrĩmĩ rwa maheeni.
For the mouth of wickedness, and the mouth of deceit, They have opened against me, They have spoken with me—A tongue of falsehood, and words of hatred!
3 Mandigicĩirie makĩaragia ndeto cia rũthũũro; maatharĩkagĩra hatarĩ gĩtũmi.
They have surrounded me about, And they fight me without cause.
4 Handũ ha wendo ũrĩa ndĩmendete naguo, o nĩ gũũthitanga maathitangaga, no niĩ nĩkũhooya ndĩmahooyagĩra.
For my love they oppose me, and I—prayer!
5 Mandĩhaga wega na ũũru, na makandĩha wendani na rũthũũro.
And they set against me evil for good, And hatred for my love.
6 Mũndũ ũrĩa wĩkĩte ũguo mũigĩre mũndũ mũũru amũũkĩrĩre; mwena wake wa ũrĩo nĩkũrũgame mũndũ wa kũmũthitanga.
Appoint the wicked over him, And an adversary stands at his right hand.
7 Aacirithio-rĩ, nĩatuuagwo mwĩhia, na kũhooya gwake gũgĩtuĩke no kwĩhia.
In his being judged, he goes forth wicked, And his prayer is for sin.
8 Matukũ make maronyiiha; ũtongoria wake ũrooywo nĩ mũndũ ũngĩ.
His days are few, another takes his oversight,
9 Ciana ciake irotuĩka cia ngoriai, na mũtumia wake atuĩke wa ndigwa.
His sons are fatherless, and his wife a widow.
10 Ciana ciake irotuĩka njara-rũhĩ cia gũcangacanga; iroingatwo ciume mĩciĩ yao ĩyo mĩanangĩku.
And his sons wander continually, Indeed, they have begged, And have sought out of their dry places.
11 Indo ciake ciothe irotahwo nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa marĩ thiirĩ nake; andũ a kũngĩ nĩmeyoere maciaro ma wĩra wake.
An exactor lays a snare for all that he has, And strangers spoil his labor.
12 Aroaga mũndũ ũngĩmwonia ũtugi, o na kana mũndũ ũngĩiguĩra ciana icio ciake cia ngoriai tha.
He has none to extend kindness, Nor is there one showing favor to his orphans.
13 Njiaro ciake iroeherio, na marĩĩtwa maacio mathario kuuma rũciaro-inĩ rũrĩa rũgooka.
His posterity is for cutting off, Their name is blotted out in another generation.
14 Waganu wa maithe make ũrotũũra ũririkanagwo nĩ Jehova; wĩhia wa nyina ũroaga gũgaathario o na rĩ.
The iniquity of his fathers Is remembered to YHWH, And the sin of his mother is not blotted out.
15 Mehia mao marotũũra hĩndĩ ciothe marĩ mbere ya Jehova, nĩguo akaaniina kũririkanwo kwao gũkũ thĩ.
They are continually before YHWH, And He cuts off their memorial from 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 that he has not remembered to do kindness, And pursues the poor man and needy, And the struck of heart—to slay,
17 Aronyiitwo nĩ kĩrumi, tondũ we endete o kũruma andũ manyiitwo nĩ kĩrumi; kĩrathimo kĩromũraihĩrĩria, tondũ we ndendaga kũrathimana.
And he loves reviling, and it meets him, And he has not delighted in blessing, And it is far from him.
18 Ehumbaga kĩrumi taarĩ nguo; kĩamũtoonyire mwĩrĩ ta maaĩ, o na gĩkĩmũtoonya mahĩndĩ-inĩ taarĩ maguta.
And he puts on reviling as his robe, And it comes in as water into his midst, And as oil into his bones.
19 Kĩrotuĩka taarĩ nguo ya igũrũ erigiicĩirie, na gĩtuĩke taarĩ mũcibi ehotorete nginya tene.
It is to him as apparel—he covers himself, And he girds it on for a continual girdle.
20 Rĩrĩ nĩrĩtuĩke irĩhi rĩa Jehova kũrĩ arĩa maathitangaga, o kũrĩ arĩa maaragia ũũru igũrũ rĩakwa.
This [is] the wage of my accusers from YHWH, And of those speaking evil against my soul.
21 No rĩrĩ, Wee Mwathani Jehova, njĩka maũndũ mega nĩ ũndũ wa rĩĩtwa rĩaku; ndeithũra tondũ wa wega wa wendo waku.
And You, O Lord YHWH, Deal with me for Your Name’s sake, Because Your kindness [is] good, deliver me.
22 Nĩgũkorwo ndĩ mũthĩĩni na mũbatari, nayo ngoro yakwa nĩĩgurarĩtio thĩinĩ wakwa.
For I [am] poor and needy, And my heart has been pierced in my midst.
23 Ndĩ hakuhĩ kũbuĩria o ta kĩĩruru kĩa hwaĩ-inĩ; hurutagwo nĩ rũhuho o ta ngigĩ.
I have gone as a shadow when it is stretched out, I have been driven away as a locust.
24 Maru makwa nĩmaregerete nĩ kwĩima kũrĩa; mwĩrĩ wakwa ũhĩnjĩte nĩ kwaga maguta.
My knees have been feeble from fasting, And my flesh has failed of fatness.
25 Nduĩkĩte kĩndũ gĩa kũnyũrũrio nĩ andũ arĩa maathitangaga; rĩrĩa maanyona, mainainagia mĩtwe.
And I have been a reproach to them, They see me, they shake their head.
26 Wee Jehova Ngai wakwa, ndeithia; honokia kũringana na wendo waku.
Help me, O YHWH my God, Save me, according to Your kindness.
27 Tũma mamenye atĩ kũu nĩ guoko gwaku, mamenye atĩ Wee Jehova, nĩwe wĩkĩte ũguo.
And they know that this [is] Your hand, You, O YHWH, You have done it.
28 O nĩ marumanage, no wee ũrathimanage; rĩrĩa maatharĩkĩra nĩmarĩconorithagio, no ndungata yaku no gũkena ĩrĩkenaga.
They revile, and You bless, They have risen, and are ashamed, And Your servant rejoices.
29 Arĩa maathitangaga makaahumbwo njono na mohwo thoni taarĩ nguo ya igũrũ.
My accusers put on blushing, and are covered, Their shame [is] as an upper robe.
30 Nĩndĩrĩkumagia Jehova mũno na kanua gakwa; nĩndĩrĩmũgoocaga ndĩ kĩrĩndĩ-inĩ kĩnene.
I thank YHWH greatly with my mouth, And I praise Him in the midst of many,
31 Nĩgũkorwo arũgamaga guoko-inĩ kwa ũrĩo kwa mũndũ ũrĩa mũbatari, nĩguo ahonokagie muoyo wake harĩ andũ arĩa mangĩmũtua nĩ mwĩhia.
For He stands at the right hand of the needy, To save from those judging his soul.
