< Thaburi 17 >
1 Ihooya rĩa Daudi Wee Jehova, ta igua gũthaithana gwakwa kwa ũthingu; thikĩrĩria gũkaya gwakwa. Tega gũtũ ũigue ihooya rĩakwa, tondũ rĩtiumanĩte na mĩromo ya maheeni.
The prayer of Dauid. Heare the right, O Lord, consider my crye: hearken vnto my prayer of lips vnfained.
2 Ituĩro rĩakwa rĩa kĩhooto nĩrĩkiume kũrĩ wee; maitho maku nĩmakĩone o ũndũ ũrĩa wagĩrĩire.
Let my sentence come forth from thy presence, and let thine eyes beholde equitie.
3 O na ũngĩthuthuuria ngoro yakwa na ũnduĩrie ũtukũ, o na ũngĩngeria, ndũrĩ ũndũ mũũru ũngĩona; nĩnduĩte atĩ ndikehia na kanua gakwa.
Thou hast prooued and visited mine heart in the night: thou hast tryed me, and foundest nothing: for I was purposed that my mouth should not offend.
4 Ha ũhoro wa ciĩko cia andũ, na ũndũ wa uuge wa mĩromo yaku niĩ ndũũrĩte ndĩrigagĩrĩria njĩra cia andũ arĩa mendete haaro.
Concerning the workes of men, by the wordes of thy lips I kept mee from the paths of the cruell man.
5 Makinya makwa nĩmarũmĩtie njĩra ciaku; magũrũ makwa matirĩ matenderũka.
Stay my steps in thy paths, that my feete doe not slide.
6 Wee Mũrungu, ngũkayagĩra tondũ nĩũnjĩtĩkaga; ndegera gũtũ na ũigue ihooya rĩakwa.
I haue called vpon thee: surely thou wilt heare me, O God: incline thine eare to me, and hearken vnto my wordes.
7 Tũma magegania ma wendo waku mũnene monekane, Wee ũhonokanagia na guoko gwaku kwa ũrĩo arĩa moragĩra harĩwe kuuma kũrĩ thũ ciao.
Shewe thy marueilous mercies, thou that art the Sauiour of them that trust in thee, from such as resist thy right hand.
8 Menyagĩrĩra niĩ ta kĩũma kĩa riitho rĩaku; hitha kĩĩruru-inĩ kĩa mathagu maku
Keepe me as the apple of the eye: hide me vnder the shadowe of thy wings,
9 ndigakorwo nĩ andũ arĩa aaganu arĩa maatharĩkagĩra, na kuuma kũrĩ thũ cia muoyo wakwa iria cindigiicĩirie.
From the wicked that oppresse mee, from mine enemies, which compasse me round about for my soule.
10 Nĩmahinganĩtie ngoro ciao nyũmũ, na tuo tũnua twao tũkaaria na mwĩgaatho.
They are inclosed in their owne fat, and they haue spoken proudely with their mouth.
11 Maahĩtĩte, rĩu nĩmandigiicĩirie, mangũũrĩire maitho, mone mweke wa kũnũnda.
They haue compassed vs now in our steps: they haue set their eyes to bring downe to the ground:
12 Mahaana ta mũrũũthi ũhũtĩire ndĩa yaguo, makahaana ta mũrũũthi mũnene woheirie kĩrĩa ũrenda kũnyiita.
Like as a lyon that is greedy of pray, and as it were a lyons whelp lurking in secret places.
13 Arahũka, Wee Jehova, mangʼethere, ũmahoote; ndeithũra na rũhiũ rwaku rwa njora kuuma kũrĩ andũ arĩa aaganu.
Vp Lord, disappoint him: cast him downe: deliuer my soule from the wicked with thy sworde,
14 Wee Jehova, honokia na guoko gwaku kuuma kũrĩ andũ ta acio, ũũhonokie kuuma kũrĩ andũ a thĩ ĩno arĩa irĩhi rĩao rĩrĩ o muoyo-inĩ ũyũ tũrĩ. Ũniinagĩra andũ arĩa wendete ngʼaragu ũkamahũũnia; ciana ciao irĩ na cia kũigana, na nĩmaigagĩra ciana cia ciana ciao mũthiithũ.
From men by thine hand, O Lord, from men of the world, who haue their portion in this life, whose bellies thou fillest with thine hid treasure: their children haue ynough, and leaue the rest of their substance for their children.
15 Na niĩ-rĩ, nĩngeyonera ũthiũ waku na ũthingu; rĩrĩa ngokĩra-rĩ, nĩngaĩiganwo nĩgũkuona ũrĩa ũtariĩ.
But I will beholde thy face in righteousnes, and when I awake, I shalbe satisfied with thine image.
