< Thaburi 13 >
1 Thaburi ya Daudi Nĩ nginya rĩ, Wee Jehova? Ũgũtũũra ũriganĩirwo nĩ niĩ nginya tene? Nĩ nginya rĩ ũgũtũũra ũũhithĩte ũthiũ waku?
For the end, a Psalm of David. How long, O Lord, will you forget me? for ever? how long will you turn away your face from me?
2 Nĩ nginya rĩ ngũtũũra ngianaga na meciiria makwa, na o mũthenya ngoragwo na ihooru ngoro-inĩ yakwa? Nĩ nginya rĩ thũ yakwa ĩgũtũũra ĩĩhootaga?
How long shall I take counsel in my soul, [having] sorrows in my heart daily? how long shall my enemy be exalted over me?
3 Wee Jehova, Ngai wakwa, ndora na ũnjookerie ũhoro. Tũma maitho makwa mone, nĩguo ndikae gũkoma toro wa gĩkuũ;
Look on me, listen to me, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep in death;
4 nĩguo thũ yakwa ndĩkoige atĩrĩ, “Nĩndĩmũhootete,” nao arĩa marĩ muku na niĩ magĩkenere kũgũa gwakwa.
lest at any time mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him: my persecutors will exult if ever I should be moved.
5 No niĩ ndĩhokete wendo waku ũrĩa ũtathiraga; ngoro yakwa ĩkenagĩra ũhonokio waku.
But I have hoped in your mercy; my heart shall exult in your salvation.
6 Nĩngũinĩra Jehova, nĩgũkorwo nĩanjĩkĩte wega mũno.
I will sing to the Lord who has dealt bountifully with me, and I will sing psalms to the name of the Lord most high.
