Thaburi 25
1 Thaburi ya Daudi Wee Jehova, ngoro yakwa ndĩmĩroretie na igũrũ kũrĩ we;
Unto the end. A Psalm of David. To you, Lord, I have lifted up my soul.
2 Wee Ngai wakwa, nowe ndĩhokete. Ndũkareke njonorithio, o na kana ũreke thũ ciakwa ingenerere.
In you, my God, I trust. Let me not be put to shame.
3 Gũtirĩ mũndũ ũkwĩhokete ũgaaconorithio o na rĩ, no arĩa mekaga andũ ũũru hatarĩ gĩtũmi-rĩ, acio nĩo magaconorithio.
And do not let my enemies laugh at me. For all who remain with you will not be confounded.
4 Wee Jehova, nyonia mĩthiĩre yaku, ũũmenyithie njĩra ciaku;
May all those who act unjustly over nothing be confounded. O Lord, demonstrate your ways to me, and teach me your paths.
5 ndongoria ũhoro-inĩ waku wa ma na ũndutage, nĩgũkorwo nĩwe Ngai ũrĩa ũũhonokagia, na nĩwe kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro gĩakwa mũthenya wothe.
Direct me in your truth, and teach me. For you are God, my Savior, and I remain with you all day long.
6 Jehova, ririkana tha ciaku nyingĩ o na wendo waku, nĩgũkorwo nĩ cia kuuma o tene.
O Lord, remember your compassion and your mercies, which are from ages past.
7 Ndũkaririkane mehia ma ũnini wakwa, o na kana mehia makwa ma ũremi; ndirikana kũringana na wendani waku, nĩ ũndũ wa wega waku, Wee Jehova.
Do not remember the offenses of my youth and my ignorances. Remember me according to your mercy, because of your goodness, O Lord.
8 Jehova nĩ mwega na nĩ mũrũngĩrĩru; nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ arĩa ehia nĩarĩmonagĩrĩria njĩra ciake.
The Lord is sweet and righteous. Because of this, he will grant a law to those who fall short in the way.
9 Atongoragia andũ arĩa menyiihagia na njĩra ĩrĩa yagĩrĩire, na akamarutaga njĩra yake.
He will direct the mild in judgment. He will teach the meek his ways.
10 Njĩra ciothe cia Jehova nĩ cia wendani na wĩhokeku, harĩ arĩa mamenyagĩrĩra kĩrĩkanĩro gĩake.
All the ways of the Lord are mercy and truth, to those who yearn for his covenant and his testimonies.
11 Wee Jehova, nĩ ũndũ wa rĩĩtwa rĩaku-rĩ, ndekera mehia makwa, o na gũtuĩka nĩ manene.
Because of your name, O Lord, you will pardon my sin, for it is great.
12 Mũndũ ũrĩa mwĩtigĩri Jehova nũũ? Mũndũ ũcio nĩarĩmuonagĩrĩria njĩra ĩrĩa aagĩrĩirwo nĩ kũgera.
Which is the man who fears the Lord? He has established a law for him, on the way that he has chosen.
13 Mũndũ ũcio egũtũũra matukũ make agaacĩire, nacio njiaro ciake nĩikaagaya bũrũri.
His soul will dwell upon good things, and his offspring will inherit the earth.
14 Jehova nĩehokaga andũ arĩa mamwĩtigagĩra; nĩo amenyithagia kĩrĩkanĩro gĩake.
The Lord is a firmament to those who fear him, and his covenant will be made manifest to them.
15 Maitho makwa maikaraga hĩndĩ ciothe macũthĩrĩirie Jehova, nĩgũkorwo nowe wiki ũngĩteithũkithia magũrũ makwa mũtego-inĩ.
My eyes are ever toward the Lord, for he will pull my feet from the snare.
16 Hũgũkĩra, ũnyonie ũtugi waku, nĩgũkorwo ndĩ o nyiki na ndĩ mũnyamarĩku.
Look upon me and have mercy on me; for I am alone and poor.
17 Mathĩĩna ma ngoro yakwa nĩmaingĩhĩte; niinĩra ruo rũrĩa ndĩ naruo.
The troubles of my heart have been multiplied. Deliver me from my needfulness.
18 Rora mĩnyamaro yakwa o na gũtangĩka gwakwa, ũkĩndekere mehia makwa mothe.
See my lowliness and my hardship, and release all my offenses.
19 Rora thũ ciakwa wone ũrĩa cingĩhĩte, nacio iithũire na rũthũũro rũtarĩ tha!
Consider my enemies, for they have been multiplied, and they have hated me with an unjust hatred.
20 Menyagĩrĩra muoyo wakwa na ũũthare; ndũkareke njonorithio, nĩgũkorwo nĩ harĩwe njũragĩra.
Preserve my soul and rescue me. I will not be ashamed, for I have hoped in you.
21 Wĩkindĩru wa ngoro na ũrũngĩrĩru irongitagĩra, tondũ nĩwe njĩrĩgagĩrĩra.
The innocent and the righteous have adhered to me, because I have remained with you.
22 Wee Ngai, gĩkũũre andũ a Isiraeli, moime mathĩĩna-inĩ mao mothe!
Free Israel, O God, from all his tribulations.
