Thaburi 109
1 Thaburi ya Daudi Wee Ngai, ũrĩa ngoocaga, ndũgaakire,
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Hold not thy peace, 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 of deceit have they opened against me: they have spoken unto 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 love they are my adversaries: but I [give myself unto] prayer.
5 Mandĩhaga wega na ũũru, na makandĩha wendani na rũthũũro.
And 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 thou a wicked man over him: and 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; and let his prayer be turned into sin.
8 Matukũ make maronyiiha; ũtongoria wake ũrooywo nĩ mũndũ ũngĩ.
Let his days be few; [and] 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 vagabonds, and beg; and let them seek [their bread] out of their desolate places.
11 Indo ciake ciothe irotahwo nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa marĩ thiirĩ nake; andũ a kũngĩ nĩmeyoere maciaro ma wĩra wake.
Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let strangers make spoil of his labour.
12 Aroaga mũndũ ũngĩmwonia ũtugi, o na kana mũndũ ũngĩiguĩra ciana icio ciake cia ngoriai tha.
Let there be none to extend mercy unto 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 with the LORD; and let not 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 the LORD 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 that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, and the broken in heart, to slay [them].
17 Aronyiitwo nĩ kĩrumi, tondũ we endete o kũruma andũ manyiitwo nĩ kĩrumi; kĩrathimo kĩromũraihĩrĩria, tondũ we ndendaga kũrathimana.
Yea, he loved cursing, and it came unto him; and he delighted not 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, and it came into his inward parts like water, and like oil into his bones. Let it be unto him as the raiment
19 Kĩrotuĩka taarĩ nguo ya igũrũ erigiicĩirie, na gĩtuĩke taarĩ mũcibi ehotorete nginya tene.
wherewith he covereth himself, and for the girdle wherewith he is girded continually.
20 Rĩrĩ nĩrĩtuĩke irĩhi rĩa Jehova kũrĩ arĩa maathitangaga, o kũrĩ arĩa maaragia ũũru igũrũ rĩakwa.
This is the reward of mine adversaries from the LORD, and of them that 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 thou with me, O GOD the Lord, for thy name’s sake: because thy mercy is good, deliver thou me,
22 Nĩgũkorwo ndĩ mũthĩĩni na mũbatari, nayo ngoro yakwa nĩĩgurarĩtio thĩinĩ wakwa.
For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.
23 Ndĩ hakuhĩ kũbuĩria o ta kĩĩruru kĩa hwaĩ-inĩ; hurutagwo nĩ rũhuho o ta ngigĩ.
I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust.
24 Maru makwa nĩmaregerete nĩ kwĩima kũrĩa; mwĩrĩ wakwa ũhĩnjĩte nĩ kwaga maguta.
My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness.
25 Nduĩkĩte kĩndũ gĩa kũnyũrũrio nĩ andũ arĩa maathitangaga; rĩrĩa maanyona, mainainagia mĩtwe.
I am become also a reproach unto them: when they see me, they shake their head.
26 Wee Jehova Ngai wakwa, ndeithia; honokia kũringana na wendo waku.
Help me, O LORD my God; O save me according to thy mercy:
27 Tũma mamenye atĩ kũu nĩ guoko gwaku, mamenye atĩ Wee Jehova, nĩwe wĩkĩte ũguo.
That they may know that this is thy hand; [that] thou, LORD, hast done it.
28 O nĩ marumanage, no wee ũrathimanage; rĩrĩa maatharĩkĩra nĩmarĩconorithagio, no ndungata yaku no gũkena ĩrĩkenaga.
Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, they shall be ashamed, but thy servant shall rejoice.
29 Arĩa maathitangaga makaahumbwo njono na mohwo thoni taarĩ nguo ya igũrũ.
Let mine adversaries be clothed with dishonour, and let them cover themselves with their own shame as with a mantle.
30 Nĩndĩrĩkumagia Jehova mũno na kanua gakwa; nĩndĩrĩmũgoocaga ndĩ kĩrĩndĩ-inĩ kĩnene.
I will give great thanks unto the LORD with my mouth; yea, 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 shall stand at the right hand of the needy, to save him from them that judge his soul.
