Thaburi 110

1 Thaburi ya Daudi Jehova nĩerire Mwathani wakwa atĩrĩ: “Ikara guoko-inĩ gwakwa kwa ũrĩo, nginya rĩrĩa ngaatũma thũ ciaku ituĩke gaturwa ka makinya maku.”

Yahweh said to my lord [the king], “Sit [here], close to me, in the place of highest honor [MTY] until I [completely defeat] your enemies [MET] [and] make [them like] a stool for your feet!”

2 Mũthĩgi wa hinya waku-rĩ, Jehova nĩakaũtambũrũkia kuuma Zayuni; nĩũgaathana ũrĩ gatagatĩ ga thũ ciaku.

Yahweh [also said to him], “I will extend your power as king from Jerusalem [to other lands]; you will rule over all your enemies.

3 Ikundi ciaku cia ita nĩikerutĩra mũthenya waku wa mbaara. Igooka irĩ na ũgemu wa ũtheru, aanake aku mahaana ta ime rĩoima nda ya rũciinĩ ruoro rũgĩtema.

On the day that you lead your armies into battle, many of your people will volunteer [to join your army]. Like the dew refreshes the earth early in the morning, young men will [encourage you by] coming to help you.”

4 Jehova nĩehĩtĩte na ndangĩĩricũkwo, akoiga atĩrĩ: “Wee ũrĩ mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nginya tene, o ta ũrĩa Melikisedeki aatariĩ.”

Yahweh has made a solemn promise, and he will never change his mind; he has said to the king, “You will be a priest forever [serving Yahweh] like Melchizedek did.”

5 Mwathani arĩ guoko-inĩ gwaku kwa ũrĩo; nĩakahehenja athamaki mũthenya wa mangʼũrĩ make.

Yahweh stands [in the place of highest honor] your right side; when he becomes angry, he will defeat [many kings].

6 Nĩagatuĩra ndũrĩrĩ ciira, aige ciimba irũndo, na ahehenje aathani a thĩ yothe.

He will judge and punish the people of [many] nations; he will fill the land with their corpses. He will crush the heads of other kings all over the earth.

7 Nĩakanyua maaĩ ma karũũĩ karĩ mũkĩra-inĩ; nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩakambararia mũtwe wake.

But my lord the king will drink from streams near the road; he will be refreshed after defeating his enemies.
