Thaburi 132
1 Thaburi ya Agendi Wee Jehova, ririkana Daudi na mathĩĩna marĩa mothe omĩrĩirie.
A song of ascents. Remember, O Lord, David all his sufferings,
2 Nĩehĩtire mwĩhĩtwa harĩ Jehova, akĩĩhĩta harĩ ũcio Mwene-Hinya, o we Ngai wa Jakubu, akiuga ũũ:
the oath that he swore to the Lord, and his vow to the Strong One of Jacob,
3 “Ndigatoonya nyũmba yakwa, kana haice ũrĩrĩ wakwa,
never to enter his tent, never to lie on his bed,
4 ndikaareke maitho makwa mone toro, kana ndeke imone ciakwa icũnge,
never to give his eyes sleep or his eyelids slumber,
5 o nginya ngoonera Jehova handũ ha gũikara, ũcio Mwene-Hinya, o we Ngai wa Jakubu, ndĩmuonere gĩikaro.”
till he had found a place for the Lord, for the Strong One of Jacob to live in.
6 Nĩtwaiguire ũhoro tũrĩ Efiratha, na tũkĩũkora mĩgũnda-inĩ ya Kiriathu Jearimu.
We heard of it in Ephrathah, in the fields of Jaar we found it.
7 Tũkiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩtũthiĩi gĩikaro-inĩ gĩake; nĩtũinamĩrĩre tũmũhooe tũrĩ gaturwa-inĩ ka makinya make;
We went to the place where he dwelt, we bowed ourselves low at his footstool.
8 arahũka, Wee Jehova, ũũke kĩhurũko-inĩ gĩaku, wee na ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro rĩa hinya waku.
‘Arise, Lord, and enter your resting-place, you and your mighty ark.
9 Athĩnjĩri aku marohumbwo na ũthingu; andũ aku aamũre nĩmakĩine nĩ gũkena.”
Let your priests wear a garment of righteousness, your faithful shout aloud for joy.
10 Nĩ ũndũ wa ndungata yaku Daudi, ndũkarega ũrĩa we ũitĩrĩirie maguta.
For the sake of David your servant, do not reject your Anointed.’
11 Jehova nĩehĩtire na mwĩhĩtwa harĩ Daudi, mwĩhĩtwa atangĩĩricũkwo, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ: “Nĩngaikarĩria ũmwe wa rũciaro rwaku Gĩtĩ-inĩ gĩaku kĩa ũnene,
The Lord swore an oath to David an oath that he will not break; ‘I will set on your throne a prince of your line.
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 your sons keep my covenant and the statutes I teach them, then their sons, too, forever, will sit on your throne.’
13 Nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩathuurĩte Zayuni, akerirĩria gũtuĩke gĩikaro gĩake, akoiga atĩrĩ:
For the choice of the Lord is Zion; she is the home of his heart.
14 “Gĩkĩ nĩkĩo kĩhurũko gĩakwa nginya tene na tene; gũkũ nĩkuo ngũtũũra njikarĩire gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene, nĩgũkorwo nĩ niĩ ndĩyendeire;
‘This is forever my resting-place, this is the home of my heart.
15 nĩngakũrathima na ũmaathi mũingĩ mũno; athĩĩni akuo ndĩmahũũnie na irio.
I will royally bless her provision, and give bread to her poor in abundance.
16 Nĩngahumba athĩnjĩri-Ngai akuo ũhonokio, na andũ akuo arĩa aamũre matũũre mainaga nĩ gũkena.
Her priests I will clothe with salvation; her faithful will shout for joy.
17 “Kũu nĩkuo ngaatũma rũhĩa rwa Daudi rũthundũke na njigĩre ũrĩa njitĩrĩirie maguta tawa ũgwakana.
There will I raise up for David a dynasty of power. I have set my anointed a lamp that shall never go out.
18 Thũ ciake nĩngacihumba thoni, no thũmbĩ ya ũnene ĩrĩa ĩrĩ mũtwe wake nĩĩgakenga na riiri.”
Robes of shame I will put on his foes, but on his head a glittering crown.’
