Thaburi 139
1 Thaburi ya Daudi Wee Jehova-rĩ, nĩũũthuthuurĩtie na ũkaamenya.
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. LORD, thou hast searched me, and known [me].
2 Nĩũĩ rĩrĩa njikarĩte thĩ na rĩrĩa njũkĩrĩte ũkamenya meciiria makwa ũrĩ o kũraya.
Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.
3 Nĩũũĩ ngiumagara o na ngĩkoma; Wee nĩũũĩ mĩthiĩre yakwa yothe.
Thou searchest out my path and my lying down, and art 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 LORD, thou knowest it altogether.
5 Nĩũnjirigĩire mbere na thuutha; nĩũnjigĩrĩire guoko gwaku.
Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine 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 unto it.
7 Nĩ kũ ingĩthiĩ njeherere Roho waku? Ingĩũrĩra kũ nyume ũthiũ-inĩ waku?
Whither shall I from thy spirit? or whither 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 art there: if I make my bed in Sheol, behold, thou art 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 uttermost parts of the sea;
10 o na kũu guoko gwakwa nokuo kũngĩndongoria, guoko gwaku kwa ũrĩo gũkĩĩnyiite kũnũmĩtie.
Even there shall thy hand 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 about 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 hideth not from thee, but the night shineth 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 hast possessed my reins: thou hast 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 unto thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: wonderful are thy works; and that my soul knoweth 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, and 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 did see mine unperfect substance, and in thy book were all [my members] written, which day by day were fashioned, 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 unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
18 Ingĩtua kũmatara, no maingĩhe gũkĩra mũthanga. Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ndokĩra, ndĩ o hamwe nawe.
If I should 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 wilt slay 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 [thy name] in vain.
21 Wee Jehova, githĩ ndithũire arĩa magũthũire, na ngamena arĩa magũũkagĩrĩra?
Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
22 Gũthũũra ndĩmathũire o biũ; ndĩmatuaga thũ ciakwa.
I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine 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 be any way of wickedness in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
