Thaburi 130

1 Thaburi ya Agendi Wee Jehova-rĩ, ndĩragũkaĩra ndĩ o kũrĩa kũriku;

A Song of Ascents. Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O Jehovah.

2 Wee Jehova, igua mũgambo wakwa. Matũ maku nĩmaigue ngĩgũkaĩra ũnjiguĩre tha.

Lord, hear my voice: Let thine ears be attentive To the voice of my supplications.

3 Wee Jehova, korwo no ũtare maita marĩa tũkwĩhagĩria-rĩ, nũũ ũngĩgwĩtiiria, Wee Jehova?

If thou, Jehovah, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand?

4 No rĩrĩ, Wee nĩũrekanagĩra; nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩwĩtigĩrĩtwo.

But there is forgiveness with thee, That thou mayest be feared.

5 Njetagĩrĩra Jehova, ngoro yakwa nĩĩmwetereire, niĩ ndĩĩhokaga kiugo gĩake.

I wait for Jehovah, my soul doth wait, And in his word do I hope.

6 Ngoro yakwa yetagĩrĩra Jehova, gũkĩra ũrĩa arangĩri metagĩrĩra rũciinĩ gũkĩe, ĩĩ-ni, gũkĩra ũrĩa arangĩri metagĩrĩra rũciinĩ gũkĩe.

My soul [waiteth] for the Lord More than watchmen [wait] for the morning; [Yea, more than] watchmen for the morning.

7 Wee Isiraeli, wĩhokage Jehova, nĩgũkorwo harĩ Jehova he wendo ũrĩa ũtathiraga, na ningĩ harĩ we harĩ na ũhonokio kũna.

O Israel, hope in Jehovah; For with Jehovah there is lovingkindness, And with him is plenteous redemption.

8 We mwene nĩagakũũra Isiraeli kuuma mehia-inĩ mao mothe.

And he will redeem Israel From all his iniquities.
