Thaburi 132
1 Thaburi ya Agendi Wee Jehova, ririkana Daudi na mathĩĩna marĩa mothe omĩrĩirie.
“A psalm of the steps, or the goings up.” O LORD! remember David, And all his affliction!
2 Nĩehĩtire mwĩhĩtwa harĩ Jehova, akĩĩhĩta harĩ ũcio Mwene-Hinya, o we Ngai wa Jakubu, akiuga ũũ:
How he sware to Jehovah, And vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
3 “Ndigatoonya nyũmba yakwa, kana haice ũrĩrĩ wakwa,
“I will not go into my house, Nor lie down on my bed,
4 ndikaareke maitho makwa mone toro, kana ndeke imone ciakwa icũnge,
I will not give sleep to my eyes, Nor slumber to my eyelids,
5 o nginya ngoonera Jehova handũ ha gũikara, ũcio Mwene-Hinya, o we Ngai wa Jakubu, ndĩmuonere gĩikaro.”
Until I find a place for Jehovah, A habitation for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
6 Nĩtwaiguire ũhoro tũrĩ Efiratha, na tũkĩũkora mĩgũnda-inĩ ya Kiriathu Jearimu.
Behold, we heard of it at Ephratah; We found it in the fields of the forest.
7 Tũkiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩtũthiĩi gĩikaro-inĩ gĩake; nĩtũinamĩrĩre tũmũhooe tũrĩ gaturwa-inĩ ka makinya make;
Let us go into his habitation; Let us worship at his footstool!
8 arahũka, Wee Jehova, ũũke kĩhurũko-inĩ gĩaku, wee na ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro rĩa hinya waku.
Arise, O LORD! into thy rest, Thou, and the ark of thy strength!
9 Athĩnjĩri aku marohumbwo na ũthingu; andũ aku aamũre nĩmakĩine nĩ gũkena.”
Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness, And thy holy ones shout for joy!
10 Nĩ ũndũ wa ndungata yaku Daudi, ndũkarega ũrĩa we ũitĩrĩirie maguta.
For the sake of thy servant David, Reject not the prayer of thine anointed!
11 Jehova nĩehĩtire na mwĩhĩtwa harĩ Daudi, mwĩhĩtwa atangĩĩricũkwo, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ: “Nĩngaikarĩria ũmwe wa rũciaro rwaku Gĩtĩ-inĩ gĩaku kĩa ũnene,
Jehovah hath sworn in truth unto David, And he will not depart from it: “Of the fruit of thy body will I place upon the throne for thee.
12 ariũ aku mangĩkaamenyerera kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa na mawatho makwa marĩa ndĩrĩmarutaga, hĩndĩ ĩyo ariũ ao nĩmagaikarĩra gĩtĩ gĩaku kĩa ũnene nginya tene na tene.”
If thy children keep my covenant, And my statutes, which I teach them, Their children also throughout all ages Shall sit upon thy throne.”
13 Nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩathuurĩte Zayuni, akerirĩria gũtuĩke gĩikaro gĩake, akoiga atĩrĩ:
For Jehovah hath chosen Zion; He hath desired it as his dwelling-place.
14 “Gĩkĩ nĩkĩo kĩhurũko gĩakwa nginya tene na tene; gũkũ nĩkuo ngũtũũra njikarĩire gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene, nĩgũkorwo nĩ niĩ ndĩyendeire;
“This is my resting-place for ever; Here will I dwell, for I have chosen it.
15 nĩngakũrathima na ũmaathi mũingĩ mũno; athĩĩni akuo ndĩmahũũnie na irio.
I will abundantly bless her provision; I will satisfy her poor with bread.
16 Nĩngahumba athĩnjĩri-Ngai akuo ũhonokio, na andũ akuo arĩa aamũre matũũre mainaga nĩ gũkena.
I will also clothe her priests with salvation, And her holy ones shall shout aloud for joy.
17 “Kũu nĩkuo ngaatũma rũhĩa rwa Daudi rũthundũke na njigĩre ũrĩa njitĩrĩirie maguta tawa ũgwakana.
There will I cause to spring forth a horn for David; I have prepared a light for mine anointed.
18 Thũ ciake nĩngacihumba thoni, no thũmbĩ ya ũnene ĩrĩa ĩrĩ mũtwe wake nĩĩgakenga na riiri.”
His enemies will I clothe with shame, And the crown shall glitter upon his head.”
