Thaburi 121

1 Thaburi ya Agendi Nĩngũtiira maitho makwa ndore irĩma-inĩ: ũteithio wakwa ũngiuma na kũ?

The song of greces. I reiside myn iyen to the hillis; fro whannus help schal come to me.

2 Ũteithio wakwa uumaga kũrĩ Jehova, o we Mũũmbi wa igũrũ na thĩ.

Myn help is of the Lord; that made heuene and erthe.

3 We ndangĩreka kũgũrũ gwaku gũtirũke: ũcio mũmenyereri waku ndarĩ hĩndĩ angĩcũnga;

The Lord yyue not thi foot in to mouyng; nether he nappe, that kepith thee.

4 ti-itherũ, ũcio mũmenyereri wa Isiraeli ndarĩ hĩndĩ angĩcũnga, kana ahĩtwo nĩ toro.

Lo! he schal not nappe, nether slepe; that kepith Israel.

5 Jehova nĩwe ũkũmenyagĩrĩra: Jehova nĩwe kĩĩruru gĩaku guoko-inĩ gwaku kwa ũrĩo;

The Lord kepith thee; the Lord is thi proteccioun aboue thi riythond.

6 mũthenya wee ndũngĩringĩka nĩ riũa, kana ũringĩke nĩ mweri ũtukũ.

The sunne schal not brenne thee bi dai; nether the moone bi nyyt.

7 Jehova nĩarĩkũgitagĩra kuuma ũũru-inĩ wothe: nĩarĩĩmenyagĩrĩra muoyo waku;

The Lord kepe thee fro al yuel; the Lord kepe thi soule.

8 Jehova nĩarĩkũmenyagĩrĩra ũkiumagara na ũgĩcooka, kuuma rĩu nginya tene na tene.

The Lord kepe thi goyng in and thi goyng out; fro this tyme now and in to the world.
