Thaburi 13

1 Thaburi ya Daudi Nĩ nginya rĩ, Wee Jehova? Ũgũtũũra ũriganĩirwo nĩ niĩ nginya tene? Nĩ nginya rĩ ũgũtũũra ũũhithĩte ũthiũ waku?

How long, Adonai? 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;

Behold, and answer me, Adonai, 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;” Lest my adversaries rejoice when I fall.

5 No niĩ ndĩhokete wendo waku ũrĩa ũtathiraga; ngoro yakwa ĩkenagĩra ũhonokio waku.

But I trust in your chesed ·loving-kindness·. My heart rejoices in your yishu'ah ·salvation·.

6 Nĩngũinĩra Jehova, nĩgũkorwo nĩanjĩkĩte wega mũno.

I will sing to Adonai, because he has been good to me.
