Thaburi 19
1 Thaburi ya Daudi Igũrũ riumbũraga riiri wa Mũrungu; namo matu mamemerekagia wĩra wa moko make.
The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows his handiwork.
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 shows knowledge.
3 Gũtirĩ mĩario kana rũthiomi kũrĩa mũgambo wacio ũtaiguĩkaga.
There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
4 Mũgambo wacio ũthiiaga thĩ yothe, nacio ciugo ciacio igakinya ituri cia thĩ. Ngai nĩambĩire riũa hema kũu igũrũ,
Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them has he set a tabernacle for the sun,
5 narĩo riumaga rĩhaana ta mũhikania akiuma nyũmba yake, o na kana ta mũtengʼeri njoorua akĩhĩĩahĩĩa gũtengʼera.
Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoices as a strong man to run a race.
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 end of the heaven, and his circuit to the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
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 the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
8 Mataaro ma Jehova nĩmarũngĩrĩru, nĩ makenagia ngoro. Maathani ma Jehova nĩ macangararu, maheaga maitho ũtheri.
The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, 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 clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous 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.
More to be desired are they than gold, yes, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
11 Ningĩ nĩmo mataaraga ndungata yaku; kũmamenyerera nĩ ũndũ ũrĩ irĩhi inene.
Moreover by them is your servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.
12 Nũũ ũngĩhota gũkũũrana mahĩtia make? Ndekera mahĩtia makwa ma hitho-inĩ.
Who can understand his errors? cleanse you me from secret faults.
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.
Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.
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.
Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in your sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.
