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 Yahweh.

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

O My Lord! hearken thou unto 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, iniquities, thou shouldest mark, O Yah, O My Lord, who could stand?

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

But, with thee, is forgiveness, that thou mayest be revered.

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

I have waited for Yahweh, My soul hath waited for his word;

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

I have hoped, O my soul, for My Lord, more than they who watch for the morning, who watch for the morning.

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

Wait, O Israel, for Yahweh, —for, with Yahweh, is lovingkindness, and there aboundeth with him—redemption.

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

He, therefore, will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
