< 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 Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] How long, Jehovah? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide 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 sorrow in my heart every day? How long shall my enemy triumph over me?
3 Wee Jehova, Ngai wakwa, ndora na ũnjookerie ũhoro. Tũma maitho makwa mone, nĩguo ndikae gũkoma toro wa gĩkuũ;
Look, and answer me, Jehovah, my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death;
4 nĩguo thũ yakwa ndĩkoige atĩrĩ, “Nĩndĩmũhootete,” nao arĩa marĩ muku na niĩ magĩkenere kũgũa gwakwa.
Lest my enemy say, "I have prevailed against him," and my adversaries rejoice when I fall.
5 No niĩ ndĩhokete wendo waku ũrĩa ũtathiraga; ngoro yakwa ĩkenagĩra ũhonokio waku.
But I trust in your loving kindness. My heart rejoices in your salvation.
6 Nĩngũinĩra Jehova, nĩgũkorwo nĩanjĩkĩte wega mũno.
I will sing to Jehovah, because he has dealt bountifully with me, and I will sing to the name of Jehovah Most High.
