Thaburi 25
1 Thaburi ya Daudi Wee Jehova, ngoro yakwa ndĩmĩroretie na igũrũ kũrĩ we;
UNTO thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
2 Wee Ngai wakwa, nowe ndĩhokete. Ndũkareke njonorithio, o na kana ũreke thũ ciakwa ingenerere.
O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.
3 Gũtirĩ mũndũ ũkwĩhokete ũgaaconorithio o na rĩ, no arĩa mekaga andũ ũũru hatarĩ gĩtũmi-rĩ, acio nĩo magaconorithio.
Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.
4 Wee Jehova, nyonia mĩthiĩre yaku, ũũmenyithie njĩra ciaku;
Shew me thy ways, O Lord; teach me thy paths.
5 ndongoria ũhoro-inĩ waku wa ma na ũndutage, nĩgũkorwo nĩwe Ngai ũrĩa ũũhonokagia, na nĩwe kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro gĩakwa mũthenya wothe.
Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.
6 Jehova, ririkana tha ciaku nyingĩ o na wendo waku, nĩgũkorwo nĩ cia kuuma o tene.
Remember, O Lord, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old.
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.
Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness’ sake, O Lord.
8 Jehova nĩ mwega na nĩ mũrũngĩrĩru; nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ arĩa ehia nĩarĩmonagĩrĩria njĩra ciake.
Good and upright is the Lord: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.
9 Atongoragia andũ arĩa menyiihagia na njĩra ĩrĩa yagĩrĩire, na akamarutaga njĩra yake.
The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.
10 Njĩra ciothe cia Jehova nĩ cia wendani na wĩhokeku, harĩ arĩa mamenyagĩrĩra kĩrĩkanĩro gĩake.
All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
11 Wee Jehova, nĩ ũndũ wa rĩĩtwa rĩaku-rĩ, ndekera mehia makwa, o na gũtuĩka nĩ manene.
For thy name’s sake, O Lord, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.
12 Mũndũ ũrĩa mwĩtigĩri Jehova nũũ? Mũndũ ũcio nĩarĩmuonagĩrĩria njĩra ĩrĩa aagĩrĩirwo nĩ kũgera.
What man is he that feareth the Lord? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.
13 Mũndũ ũcio egũtũũra matukũ make agaacĩire, nacio njiaro ciake nĩikaagaya bũrũri.
His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.
14 Jehova nĩehokaga andũ arĩa mamwĩtigagĩra; nĩo amenyithagia kĩrĩkanĩro gĩake.
The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.
15 Maitho makwa maikaraga hĩndĩ ciothe macũthĩrĩirie Jehova, nĩgũkorwo nowe wiki ũngĩteithũkithia magũrũ makwa mũtego-inĩ.
Mine eyes are ever toward the Lord; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.
16 Hũgũkĩra, ũnyonie ũtugi waku, nĩgũkorwo ndĩ o nyiki na ndĩ mũnyamarĩku.
Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted.
17 Mathĩĩna ma ngoro yakwa nĩmaingĩhĩte; niinĩra ruo rũrĩa ndĩ naruo.
The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my distresses.
18 Rora mĩnyamaro yakwa o na gũtangĩka gwakwa, ũkĩndekere mehia makwa mothe.
Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins.
19 Rora thũ ciakwa wone ũrĩa cingĩhĩte, nacio iithũire na rũthũũro rũtarĩ tha!
Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred.
20 Menyagĩrĩra muoyo wakwa na ũũthare; ndũkareke njonorithio, nĩgũkorwo nĩ harĩwe njũragĩra.
O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee.
21 Wĩkindĩru wa ngoro na ũrũngĩrĩru irongitagĩra, tondũ nĩwe njĩrĩgagĩrĩra.
Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.
22 Wee Ngai, gĩkũũre andũ a Isiraeli, moime mathĩĩna-inĩ mao mothe!
Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
