Thaburi 141
1 Thaburi ya Daudi Wee Jehova, nĩwe ndĩrakaĩra; hiũha ũũke kũrĩ niĩ. Igua mũgambo wakwa ngĩgũkaĩra.
A Psalm of David. O Lord, I have cried out to you, hear me. Attend to my voice, when I cry out to you.
2 Ihooya rĩakwa rĩroambata mbere yaku ta mũtararĩko wa ũbumba; nakuo kwambararia moko makwa kũrotuĩka ta igongona rĩa hwaĩ-inĩ.
Let my prayer be guided like incense in your sight: the lifting up of my hands, like the evening sacrifice.
3 Wee Jehova, iga mũrangĩri kanua-inĩ gakwa, rangagĩra mũrango ũyũ wa mĩromo yakwa.
O Lord, station a guard over my mouth and a door enclosing my lips.
4 Ndũkareke ngoro yakwa ĩguucĩrĩrio ũndũ-inĩ mũũru, ndigatuĩke wa gwĩka ciĩko cia waganu hamwe na andũ arĩa amaramari; Ndũkareke ndĩe irio ciao iria irĩ mũrĩo.
Do not turn aside my heart to words of malice, to making excuses for sins, with men who work iniquity; and I will not communicate, even with the best of them.
5 Mũndũ mũthingu nĩakĩĩninge: ũndũ ũcio nĩ wa kũnyonia ũtugi; kũndũithia nĩakĩndũithie: ũguo no ta kũnjitĩrĩria maguta mũtwe wakwa. Mũtwe wakwa ndũngĩrega gũitĩrĩrio maguta macio. No rĩrĩ, ihooya rĩakwa nĩ rĩa gũtũũra ndeganĩte na ciĩko cia andũ arĩa meekaga ũũru;
The just one will correct me with mercy, and he will rebuke me. But do not allow the oil of the sinner to fatten my head. For my prayer will still be toward their good will.
6 aathani ao magaikio thĩ kuuma igũrũ rĩa rwaro rwa ihiga, nao arĩa aaganu nĩmakamenya atĩ ciugo ciakwa ciarĩ cia ma.
Their judges have been engulfed, joined to the rocks. They will hear my words, which have prevailed,
7 Nĩmakoiga atĩrĩ, “O ta ũrĩa mũndũ acimbaga mũgũnda na akahũũra hianyũ, no taguo mahĩndĩ maitũ maharaganĩtio mũromo-inĩ wa mbĩrĩra.” (Sheol h7585)
as when the lava of the earth has erupted above ground. Our bones have been scattered beside Hell. (Sheol h7585)
8 No rĩrĩ, maitho makwa nĩwe macũthĩrĩirie, Wee Mwathani Jehova; nĩ harĩwe njũragĩra; nĩ ũndũ ũcio ndũkareke ngue.
For Lord, O Lord, my eyes look to you. In you, I have hoped. Do not take away my soul.
9 Ngitĩra ndikanyiitwo nĩ mĩtego ĩrĩa nyambĩirwo, ũnjehanĩrĩrie na mĩtego ya andũ arĩa mekaga ũũru.
Protect me from the snare that they have set up for me and from the scandals of those who work iniquity.
10 Andũ acio aaganu maroogwa wabu-inĩ wao ene, no niĩ ngĩhĩtũkage itekuona ũgwati.
The sinners will fall into his net. I am alone, until I pass over.
