Thaburi 109
1 Thaburi ya Daudi Wee Ngai, ũrĩa ngoocaga, ndũgaakire,
[For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] God of my praise, do not remain silent,
2 nĩgũkorwo andũ arĩa aaganu na a maheeni nĩmathamĩtie tũnua nĩguo manjũkĩrĩre; nĩmarĩtie ũhoro wakwa na rũrĩmĩ rwa maheeni.
for they have opened the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of deceit against me. They have spoken to me with a lying tongue.
3 Mandigicĩirie makĩaragia ndeto cia rũthũũro; maatharĩkagĩra hatarĩ gĩtũmi.
They have also surrounded me 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.
In return for my love, they are my adversaries; but I am in prayer.
5 Mandĩhaga wega na ũũru, na makandĩha wendani na rũthũũro.
They have rewarded 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.
Set a wicked man over him. Let an adversary stand at his right hand.
7 Aacirithio-rĩ, nĩatuuagwo mwĩhia, na kũhooya gwake gũgĩtuĩke no kwĩhia.
When he is judged, let him come forth guilty. Let his prayer be turned into sin.
8 Matukũ make maronyiiha; ũtongoria wake ũrooywo nĩ mũndũ ũngĩ.
Let his days be few. Let another take his office.
9 Ciana ciake irotuĩka cia ngoriai, na mũtumia wake atuĩke wa ndigwa.
Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.
10 Ciana ciake irotuĩka njara-rũhĩ cia gũcangacanga; iroingatwo ciume mĩciĩ yao ĩyo mĩanangĩku.
Let his children be wandering beggars. Let them be sought from their ruins.
11 Indo ciake ciothe irotahwo nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa marĩ thiirĩ nake; andũ a kũngĩ nĩmeyoere maciaro ma wĩra wake.
Let the creditor seize all that he has. Let strangers plunder the fruit of his labor.
12 Aroaga mũndũ ũngĩmwonia ũtugi, o na kana mũndũ ũngĩiguĩra ciana icio ciake cia ngoriai tha.
Let there be none to extend kindness to him, neither let there be any to have pity on his fatherless children.
13 Njiaro ciake iroeherio, na marĩĩtwa maacio mathario kuuma rũciaro-inĩ rũrĩa rũgooka.
Let his posterity be cut off. In the generation following let their name be blotted out.
14 Waganu wa maithe make ũrotũũra ũririkanagwo nĩ Jehova; wĩhia wa nyina ũroaga gũgaathario o na rĩ.
Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered by Jehovah. Do not let the sin of his mother be blotted out.
15 Mehia mao marotũũra hĩndĩ ciothe marĩ mbere ya Jehova, nĩguo akaaniina kũririkanwo kwao gũkũ thĩ.
Let them be before Jehovah continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the 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 did not remember to show kindness, but persecuted the poor and needy man, the broken in heart, to kill them.
17 Aronyiitwo nĩ kĩrumi, tondũ we endete o kũruma andũ manyiitwo nĩ kĩrumi; kĩrathimo kĩromũraihĩrĩria, tondũ we ndendaga kũrathimana.
Yes, he loved cursing, and it came to him. He did not delight in blessing, and it was far from him.
18 Ehumbaga kĩrumi taarĩ nguo; kĩamũtoonyire mwĩrĩ ta maaĩ, o na gĩkĩmũtoonya mahĩndĩ-inĩ taarĩ maguta.
He clothed himself also with cursing as with his garment. It came into his inward parts like water, like oil into his bones.
19 Kĩrotuĩka taarĩ nguo ya igũrũ erigiicĩirie, na gĩtuĩke taarĩ mũcibi ehotorete nginya tene.
Let it be to him as the clothing with which he covers himself, for the belt that is always around him.
20 Rĩrĩ nĩrĩtuĩke irĩhi rĩa Jehova kũrĩ arĩa maathitangaga, o kũrĩ arĩa maaragia ũũru igũrũ rĩakwa.
This is the reward of my adversaries from Jehovah, of those who speak 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.
But deal with me, Jehovah the Lord, for your name's sake, because your loving kindness is good, deliver me;
22 Nĩgũkorwo ndĩ mũthĩĩni na mũbatari, nayo ngoro yakwa nĩĩgurarĩtio thĩinĩ wakwa.
for I am poor and needy. My heart is wounded within me.
23 Ndĩ hakuhĩ kũbuĩria o ta kĩĩruru kĩa hwaĩ-inĩ; hurutagwo nĩ rũhuho o ta ngigĩ.
I fade away like an evening shadow. I am shaken off like a locust.
24 Maru makwa nĩmaregerete nĩ kwĩima kũrĩa; mwĩrĩ wakwa ũhĩnjĩte nĩ kwaga maguta.
My knees are weak through fasting. My body is thin and lacks fat.
25 Nduĩkĩte kĩndũ gĩa kũnyũrũrio nĩ andũ arĩa maathitangaga; rĩrĩa maanyona, mainainagia mĩtwe.
I have also become a reproach to them. When they see me, they shake their head.
26 Wee Jehova Ngai wakwa, ndeithia; honokia kũringana na wendo waku.
Help me, Jehovah, my God. Save me according to your loving kindness;
27 Tũma mamenye atĩ kũu nĩ guoko gwaku, mamenye atĩ Wee Jehova, nĩwe wĩkĩte ũguo.
that they may know that this is your hand; that you, Jehovah, have done it.
28 O nĩ marumanage, no wee ũrathimanage; rĩrĩa maatharĩkĩra nĩmarĩconorithagio, no ndungata yaku no gũkena ĩrĩkenaga.
They may curse, but you bless. When they arise, they will be shamed, but your servant shall rejoice.
29 Arĩa maathitangaga makaahumbwo njono na mohwo thoni taarĩ nguo ya igũrũ.
Let my adversaries be clothed with dishonor. Let them cover themselves with their own shame as with a robe.
30 Nĩndĩrĩkumagia Jehova mũno na kanua gakwa; nĩndĩrĩmũgoocaga ndĩ kĩrĩndĩ-inĩ kĩnene.
I will give great thanks to Jehovah with my mouth. Yes, I will praise him among the 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 needy, to save him from those who judge his soul.
