Thaburi 22
1 Thaburi ya Daudi Ngai wakwa, Ngai wakwa, ũndiganĩirie nĩkĩ? Ũndaihĩrĩirie ũguo nĩkĩ, ũkaaga kũũhonokia, ũkaraihĩrĩria ciugo cia mũcaayo wakwa?
My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? why are you so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?
2 Wee Ngai wakwa, ngũkayagĩra mũthenya, no ndũnjĩtĩkaga, ngũkayagĩra ũtukũ, na ndingĩkira.
O my God, I cry in the day time, but you hear not; and in the night season, and am not silent.
3 No rĩrĩ, Wee ũrĩ Mũtheru, Wee ũikarĩire gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene; Wee nĩwe ũgoocagwo nĩ Isiraeli.
But you are holy, O you that inhabit the praises of Israel.
4 Maithe maitũ nĩwe meehokaga; maakwĩhokire nawe ũkĩmahonokia.
Our fathers trusted in you: they trusted, and you did deliver them.
5 Maagũkaĩire nao makĩhonokio; maakwĩhokire na matiigana gũconorithio.
They cried to you, and were delivered: they trusted in you, and were not confounded.
6 No niĩ nduĩkĩte o ta kĩgunyũ, no ti ta mũndũ, nganyararwo nĩ andũ na ngamenwo nĩ kĩrĩndĩ.
But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.
7 Andũ arĩa othe maanyonaga nĩmanyũrũragia; makaanuma makĩinainagia mĩtwe, makoiga atĩrĩ:
All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,
8 “Ehokaga Jehova; Jehova nĩakĩmũhatũre. Nĩakĩmũteithũre, nĩgũkorwo nĩakenagio nĩwe.”
He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.
9 No rĩrĩ, Wee nĩwe wandutire nda ya maitũ; watũmire ngwĩhoke ndĩ o nyondo-inĩ cia maitũ.
But you are he that took me out of the womb: you did make me hope when I was on my mother’s breasts.
10 Kuuma ndaaciarwo ndaikirio o harĩwe; kuuma ndoima nda ya maitũ ũkoretwo ũrĩ Mũrungu wakwa.
I was cast on you from the womb: you are my God from my mother’s belly.
11 Ndũkandaihĩrĩrie, nĩgũkorwo thĩĩna ũrĩ o hakuhĩ, na gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe wa kũndeithia.
Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.
12 Ndegwa nyingĩ nĩindigicĩirie; thiũrũrũkĩirio nĩ ndegwa irĩ hinya cia Bashani.
Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.
13 Mĩrũũthi ĩkũrarama, ĩgĩtambuuranga kĩrĩa ĩgwatĩtie, ĩnjathamĩirie tũnua twayo.
They gaped on me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.
14 Njitĩtwo thĩ ta maaĩ, namo mahĩndĩ makwa mothe nĩmarekanĩtie. Ngoro yakwa yororoete ta mũhũra; ĩtwekete ĩrĩ thĩinĩ wakwa.
I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the middle of my bowels.
15 Hinya wakwa ũniarĩte ta rũgĩo, naruo rũrĩmĩ rwakwa rũkanyiitana na karakara nĩkũngʼara; ũngometie rũkũngũ-inĩ rwa gĩkuũ.
My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue sticks to my jaws; and you have brought me into the dust of death.
16 Ndĩĩmũrigiicĩrie nĩ magui; ndĩĩmũthiũrũrũkĩrie nĩ gĩkundi kĩa andũ arĩa meekaga ũũru, nĩmatheecangĩte moko na magũrũ makwa.
For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have enclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.
17 Mahĩndĩ makwa no hote kũmatara mothe; andũ marandora na makangũũrĩra maitho.
I may tell all my bones: they look and stare on me.
18 Maragayana nguo ciakwa, nayo kanjũ yakwa makamĩcuukĩra mĩtĩ.
They part my garments among them, and cast lots on my clothing.
19 No rĩrĩ, Wee Jehova, ndũkandaihĩrĩrie mũno; Wee Hinya wakwa, hiũha ũũke ũndeithie.
But be not you far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste you to help me.
20 Teithũra muoyo wakwa kuuma harĩ rũhiũ rwa njora, ũteithũre muoyo wakwa wa goro harĩ hinya wa magui.
Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog.
21 Thara kuuma kanua-inĩ ka mĩrũũthi; honokia kuuma hĩa-inĩ cia mbogo.
Save me from the lion’s mouth: for you have heard me from the horns of the unicorns.
22 Nĩngumbũra rĩĩtwa rĩaku kũrĩ ariũ a baba; ndĩrĩkũgoocaga ndĩ kĩũngano-inĩ.
I will declare your name to my brothers: in the middle of the congregation will I praise you.
23 Inyuĩ andũ aya mwĩtigĩrĩte Jehova, mũgoocei! Inyuothe a njiaro cia Jakubu, mũkumiei, inyuĩ a njiaro cia Isiraeli, mũtĩĩei.
You that fear the LORD, praise him; all you the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all you the seed of Israel.
24 Nĩgũkorwo we ndaamenire kana akĩnyarara gũthĩĩnĩka kwa ũrĩa mũnyamarĩku; ndaahithire ũthiũ wake kuuma kũrĩ we, no nĩathikĩrĩirie kĩrĩro gĩake.
For he has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither has he hid his face from him; but when he cried to him, he heard.
25 Gĩtũmi kĩa ngũgooce ũrĩa ngũgoocaga ndĩ kĩũngano-inĩ kĩnene kiumĩte harĩwe; niĩ nĩndĩrĩhingagia mĩĩhĩtwa yakwa ndĩ mbere ya arĩa magwĩtigĩrĩte.
My praise shall be of you in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him.
26 Andũ arĩa athĩĩni marĩrĩĩaga na makahũũna, arĩa marongoragia Jehova, nĩmarĩmũgoocaga; ngoro cianyu irotũũra nginya tene.
The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.
27 Andũ arĩa othe matũũraga ituri ciothe cia thĩ nĩmakaririkana na macookerere Jehova, andũ a nyũmba ciothe cia ndũrĩrĩ nĩmakainamĩrĩra mbere yake,
All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before you.
28 nĩgũkorwo ũthamaki nĩ wa Jehova, na nĩwe wathaga ndũrĩrĩ ciothe.
For the kingdom is the LORD’s: and he is the governor among the nations.
29 Andũ arĩa othe atongu a thĩ makaarĩa na mamũhooe; arĩa othe makuuaga magathikwo nĩmagaturia ndu mbere yake, o acio matangĩhota gwĩtũũria muoyo.
All they that be fat on earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul.
30 Ciana nĩikamũtungatĩra; nacio nĩikaahe njiarwa iria igooka ũhoro wa Mwathani.
A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.
31 Acio nĩmakahunjia ũthingu wake kũrĩ andũ arĩa magaaciarwo, nĩgũkorwo nĩwe wĩkĩte ũguo.
They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness to a people that shall be born, that he has done this.
