Thaburi 139
1 Thaburi ya Daudi Wee Jehova-rĩ, nĩũũthuthuurĩtie na ũkaamenya.
O Jehovah, thou have searched me, and known.
2 Nĩũĩ rĩrĩa njikarĩte thĩ na rĩrĩa njũkĩrĩte ũkamenya meciiria makwa ũrĩ o kũraya.
Thou know my sitting down and my rising up. Thou understand my thought afar off.
3 Nĩũũĩ ngiumagara o na ngĩkoma; Wee nĩũũĩ mĩthiĩre yakwa yothe.
Thou search out my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways.
4 Wee Jehova-rĩ, itanagweta kiugo na rũrĩmĩ rwakwa, Wee nĩũkoragwo ũkĩũĩ biũ.
For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O Jehovah, thou know it altogether.
5 Nĩũnjirigĩire mbere na thuutha; nĩũnjigĩrĩire guoko gwaku.
Thou have beset me behind and before, and laid thy hand upon me.
6 Ũmenyo ta ũcio nĩ wa magegania mũno harĩ niĩ, ũrĩ igũrũ mũno ndingĩũkinyĩra.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me. It is high, I cannot attain to it.
7 Nĩ kũ ingĩthiĩ njeherere Roho waku? Ingĩũrĩra kũ nyume ũthiũ-inĩ waku?
Where shall I go from thy Spirit? Or where shall I flee from thy presence?
8 Ingĩambata thiĩ igũrũ, Wee ũrĩ kuo; ingĩara ũrĩrĩ wakwa kũrĩa kũriku mũno, Wee ũrĩ o kuo. (Sheol h7585)
If I ascend up into heaven, thou are there. If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, thou are there. (Sheol h7585)
9 Ingĩũmbũka na mathagu ma gũgĩkĩa, ingĩthiĩ gũtũũra mũrĩmo ũrĩa ũngĩ wa iria, kũndũ kũraya mũno,
If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the outermost parts of the sea,
10 o na kũu guoko gwakwa nokuo kũngĩndongoria, guoko gwaku kwa ũrĩo gũkĩĩnyiite kũnũmĩtie.
even there thy hand shall lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
11 Ingiuga atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ nduma nĩĩkũũhitha, naguo ũtheri ũyũ ũũthiũrũrũkĩirie ũtuĩke ũtukũ,”
If I say, Surely the darkness shall overwhelm me, and the light around me shall be night,
12 o na nduma ndĩrĩ hĩndĩ ĩngĩgũtumanĩra; ũtukũ ũkwara ta mũthenya, nĩgũkorwo nduma kũrĩ we nĩ ta ũtheri.
even the darkness hides not from thee, but the night shines as the day. The darkness and the light are both alike to thee.
13 Nĩgũkorwo nĩwe wombire ciĩga ciakwa cia na thĩinĩ; wanyiitithanirie ndĩ o nda ya maitũ.
For thou formed my inward parts. Thou covered me in my mother's womb.
14 Nĩngũkũgooca nĩ ũndũ mũũmbĩre ũrĩa nyũmbĩtwo naguo nĩ wa kũmakania na wa magegania; ciĩko ciaku nĩ cia magegania, niĩ mwene nĩnjũũĩ ũguo o wega.
I will give thanks to thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are thy works, and that my soul knows right well.
15 Mahĩndĩ makwa matiahithĩkĩte harĩwe, rĩrĩa ndoombĩirwo kũrĩa kũhitharu. Rĩrĩa ndanyiitithanagio hamwe ndĩ thĩ kũrĩa kũriku mũno-rĩ,
My frame was not hidden from thee, when I was made in secret, curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 maitho maku nĩmonaga mwĩrĩ wakwa ũtanombwo biũ. Matukũ mothe marĩa nyamũrĩirwo nĩmandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩaku o na mbere ya ũmwe wamo kũgĩa.
Thine eyes saw my unformed substance, and in thy book they were all written, even the days that were ordained, when as yet there was none of them.
17 Hĩ! Ĩ meciiria maku matikĩrĩ ma bata harĩ niĩ, Wee Mũrungu! Kaĩ mũigana wamo nĩ mũnene-ĩ!
How precious also are thy thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them!
18 Ingĩtua kũmatara, no maingĩhe gũkĩra mũthanga. Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ndokĩra, ndĩ o hamwe nawe.
I count them; they are more in number than the sand. When I awake, I am still with thee.
19 Wee Ngai-rĩ, naarĩ korwo woraga arĩa aaganu! Njehererai, inyuĩ mũnyootagĩra gũita thakame!
Surely thou will kill the wicked, O God. Depart from me therefore, ye bloodthirsty men.
20 Maaragia ũhoro waku marĩ na meciiria mooru; arĩa magũthũire mahũthagĩra rĩĩtwa rĩaku ũũru.
For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take it in vain.
21 Wee Jehova, githĩ ndithũire arĩa magũthũire, na ngamena arĩa magũũkagĩrĩra?
Do I not hate them, O Jehovah, who hate thee? And am I not grieved with those who rise up against thee?
22 Gũthũũra ndĩmathũire o biũ; ndĩmatuaga thũ ciakwa.
I hate them with perfect hatred. They have become my enemies.
23 Wee Mũrungu, thuthuuria, ũmenye ngoro yakwa; ngeria ũmenye meciiria makwa.
Search me, O God, and know my heart. Try me, and know my thoughts,
24 Rora wone kana nĩ harĩ mĩthiĩre mĩũru thĩinĩ wakwa, na ũkĩndongorie na njĩra ĩrĩa ya tene na tene.
and see if there is any wicked way in me. And lead me in the way everlasting.
