Thaburi 25
1 Thaburi ya Daudi Wee Jehova, ngoro yakwa ndĩmĩroretie na igũrũ kũrĩ we;
“A psalm of David.” To 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 put to shame! Let not my enemies triumph over me!
3 Gũtirĩ mũndũ ũkwĩhokete ũgaaconorithio o na rĩ, no arĩa mekaga andũ ũũru hatarĩ gĩtũmi-rĩ, acio nĩo magaconorithio.
Yea, none that hope in thee shall be put to shame: They shall be put to shame who wickedly forsake thee.
4 Wee Jehova, nyonia mĩthiĩre yaku, ũũmenyithie njĩra ciaku;
Cause me to know 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 from whom cometh my help; In thee do I trust at all times!
6 Jehova, ririkana tha ciaku nyingĩ o na wendo waku, nĩgũkorwo nĩ cia kuuma o tene.
Remember thy loving-kindness, O LORD! and thy tender mercy, Which thou hast exercised 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 faults and transgressions of my youth! 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 righteous is the LORD; Therefore showeth he to sinners the way.
9 Atongoragia andũ arĩa menyiihagia na njĩra ĩrĩa yagĩrĩire, na akamarutaga njĩra yake.
The humble he guideth in his statutes, And the humble he teacheth his way.
10 Njĩra ciothe cia Jehova nĩ cia wendani na wĩhokeku, harĩ arĩa mamenyagĩrĩra kĩrĩkanĩro gĩake.
All the doings of the LORD are mercy and truth To those who keep his covenant and his precepts.
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 my iniquity; for it is great!
12 Mũndũ ũrĩa mwĩtigĩri Jehova nũũ? Mũndũ ũcio nĩarĩmuonagĩrĩria njĩra ĩrĩa aagĩrĩirwo nĩ kũgera.
Who is the man that feareth the LORD? Him doth he show the way which he should choose.
13 Mũndũ ũcio egũtũũra matukũ make agaacĩire, nacio njiaro ciake nĩikaagaya bũrũri.
He shall himself dwell in prosperity, And his offspring shall inherit the land.
14 Jehova nĩehokaga andũ arĩa mamwĩtigagĩra; nĩo amenyithagia kĩrĩkanĩro gĩake.
The friendship of the LORD is with them that fear him, And he will teach them his covenant.
15 Maitho makwa maikaraga hĩndĩ ciothe macũthĩrĩirie Jehova, nĩgũkorwo nowe wiki ũngĩteithũkithia magũrũ makwa mũtego-inĩ.
Mine eyes are ever directed to the LORD, For he will pluck my feet from the net.
16 Hũgũkĩra, ũnyonie ũtugi waku, nĩgũkorwo ndĩ o nyiki na ndĩ mũnyamarĩku.
Look upon me, and pity me; For I am desolate and afflicted!
17 Mathĩĩna ma ngoro yakwa nĩmaingĩhĩte; niinĩra ruo rũrĩa ndĩ naruo.
Lighten the sorrows of my heart, And deliver me from my troubles!
18 Rora mĩnyamaro yakwa o na gũtangĩka gwakwa, ũkĩndekere mehia makwa mothe.
Look upon my affliction and distress, And forgive all my sins!
19 Rora thũ ciakwa wone ũrĩa cingĩhĩte, nacio iithũire na rũthũũro rũtarĩ tha!
Consider how many are my enemies, And with what violence they hate me!
20 Menyagĩrĩra muoyo wakwa na ũũthare; ndũkareke njonorithio, nĩgũkorwo nĩ harĩwe njũragĩra.
Guard thou my life, and deliver me! Let me not be put to shame, for I have trusted in thee!
21 Wĩkindĩru wa ngoro na ũrũngĩrĩru irongitagĩra, tondũ nĩwe njĩrĩgagĩrĩra.
Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, For on thee do I rest my hope!
22 Wee Ngai, gĩkũũre andũ a Isiraeli, moime mathĩĩna-inĩ mao mothe!
Redeem Israel, O God! from all his troubles!
