< Thaburi 26 >

1 Thaburi ya Daudi Wee Jehova, nduĩra itua rĩa kĩhooto, nĩgũkorwo mĩthiĩre yakwa nĩmĩkindĩrĩku; ndũũrĩte ndĩhokete Jehova itegũthangania.
[A Psalm] of David. Judge me, O Jehovah, for I have walked in mine integrity, and I have confided in Jehovah: I shall not slip.
2 Wee Jehova, ngeria na ũndorie, tuĩria ngoro yakwa o na meciiria makwa;
Prove me, Jehovah, and test me; try my reins and my heart:
3 nĩgũkorwo wendo waku ũkoragwo ũrĩ mbere yakwa, na ngeragĩra njĩra-inĩ yaku ya ũhoro wa ma.
For thy loving-kindness is before mine eyes, and I have walked in thy truth.
4 Ndiikaranagia na andũ a maheeni, o na kana ngagwatanĩra na andũ arĩa marĩ ũhinga.
I have not sat with vain persons, neither have I gone in with dissemblers;
5 Nĩthũire kĩũngano kĩa andũ arĩa mekaga ũũru, na ngarega gũikarania na andũ arĩa aaganu.
I have hated the congregation of evil-doers, and I have not sat with the wicked.
6 Ngwĩthamba moko nyonanie ndirĩ na mahĩtia, thiũrũrũke kĩgongona gĩaku, Wee Jehova,
I will wash my hands in innocency, and will encompass thine altar, O Jehovah,
7 nyine nyanĩrĩire rwĩmbo rwa gũcookia ngaatho, na heane ũhoro wa ciĩko ciaku ciothe cia magegania.
That I may cause the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and declare all thy marvellous works.
8 Wee Jehova, nĩnyendete nyũmba ĩrĩa ũtũũraga, o handũ harĩa riiri waku ũikaraga.
Jehovah, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thy glory dwelleth.
9 Ndũkeherie ngoro yakwa hamwe na ya arĩa mehagia, kana muoyo wakwa hamwe na wa andũ arĩa maitaga thakame,
Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with men of blood;
10 arĩa marĩ na maũndũ ma waganu moko-inĩ mao, o arĩa moko mao ma ũrĩo maiyũrĩte mahaki.
In whose hands are evil devices, and their right hand is full of bribes.
11 No niĩ-rĩ, ndũũraga mũtũũrĩre ũtarĩ ũcuuke; kĩngũũre na ũnjiguĩre tha.
But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity. Redeem me, and be gracious unto me.
12 Magũrũ makwa marũgamĩte handũ harĩa haigananu; nĩndĩrĩgoocaga Jehova ndĩ kĩũngano-inĩ kĩnene.
My foot standeth in an even place; in the congregations will I bless Jehovah.
