Thaburi 19
1 Thaburi ya Daudi Igũrũ riumbũraga riiri wa Mũrungu; namo matu mamemerekagia wĩra wa moko make.
For the end, a Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament proclaims the work of his hands.
2 Mũthenya ũkinyagĩria mũthenya ũrĩa ũngĩ ũhoro; naguo ũtukũ ũkamenyithia ũtukũ ũrĩa ũngĩ ũhoro wa riiri ũcio.
Day to day utters speech, and night to night proclaims knowledge.
3 Gũtirĩ mĩario kana rũthiomi kũrĩa mũgambo wacio ũtaiguĩkaga.
There are no speeches or words, in which their voices are not heard.
4 Mũgambo wacio ũthiiaga thĩ yothe, nacio ciugo ciacio igakinya ituri cia thĩ. Ngai nĩambĩire riũa hema kũu igũrũ,
Their voice is gone out into all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.
5 narĩo riumaga rĩhaana ta mũhikania akiuma nyũmba yake, o na kana ta mũtengʼeri njoorua akĩhĩĩahĩĩa gũtengʼera.
In the sun he has set his tabernacle; and he comes forth as a bridegroom out of his chamber: he will exult as a giant to run his course.
6 Rĩrathagĩra mwena-inĩ ũmwe wa kũu igũrũ, na rĩgathiũrũrũka nginya mwena ũrĩa ũngĩ; gũtirĩ kĩndũ gĩtakinyagĩrwo nĩ ũrugarĩ warĩo.
His going forth is from the extremity of heaven, and his circuit to the [other] end of heaven: and no one shall be hidden from his heat.
7 Watho wa Jehova nĩ mũkinyanĩru, ũriũkagia ngoro ya mũndũ. Kĩrĩra kĩa Jehova nĩ gĩa kwĩhokeka, nĩkĩũhĩgagia mũndũ ũrĩa ũtarĩ mũũgĩ.
The law of the Lord is perfect, converting souls: the testimony of the Lord is faithful, instructing babes.
8 Mataaro ma Jehova nĩmarũngĩrĩru, nĩ makenagia ngoro. Maathani ma Jehova nĩ macangararu, maheaga maitho ũtheri.
The ordinances of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is bright, enlightening the eyes.
9 Gwĩtigĩra Jehova nĩ ũndũ mũtheru, gũtũũraga nginya tene. Matua ma Jehova nĩ ma ma, na mothe nĩ ma kĩhooto.
The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring for ever and ever: the judgements of the Lord are true, [and] justified altogether.
10 Maũndũ macio nĩ ma goro gũkĩra thahabu, o na gũkĩra thahabu ĩrĩa therie mũno; marĩ mũrĩo gũkĩra ũũkĩ, o ũũkĩ ũrĩa uumĩte igua-inĩ.
To be desired more than gold, and much precious stone: sweeter also than honey and the honey-comb.
11 Ningĩ nĩmo mataaraga ndungata yaku; kũmamenyerera nĩ ũndũ ũrĩ irĩhi inene.
For your servant keeps to them: in the keeping of them [there is] great reward.
12 Nũũ ũngĩhota gũkũũrana mahĩtia make? Ndekera mahĩtia makwa ma hitho-inĩ.
Who will understand [his] transgressions? purge you me from my secret [sins].
13 Ningĩ rigagĩrĩria ndungata yaku ndĩkeehie mehia ma mwĩĩro o namo; ndũkanareke mehia macio manjathe. Nĩguo ndĩrĩikaraga itarĩ na ũcuuke, na itarĩ na mehia ma kwagarara watho.
And spare your servant [the attack] of strangers: if they do not gain the dominion over me, then shall I be blameless, and I shall be clear from great sin.
14 Ciugo cia kanua gakwa na matarania ma ngoro yakwa irogũkenia maitho-inĩ maku, Wee Jehova, o Wee Rwaro rwakwa rwa Ihiga, na Mũkũũri wakwa.
So shall the sayings of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be pleasing continually before you, O Lord my helper, and my redeemer.
