Thaburi 26
1 Thaburi ya Daudi Wee Jehova, nduĩra itua rĩa kĩhooto, nĩgũkorwo mĩthiĩre yakwa nĩmĩkindĩrĩku; ndũũrĩte ndĩhokete Jehova itegũthangania.
Unto the end, a psalm for David. Judge me, O Lord, for I have walked in my innocence: and I have put my trust in the Lord, and shall not be weakened.
2 Wee Jehova, ngeria na ũndorie, tuĩria ngoro yakwa o na meciiria makwa;
Prove me, O Lord, and try me; burn my reins and my heart.
3 nĩgũkorwo wendo waku ũkoragwo ũrĩ mbere yakwa, na ngeragĩra njĩra-inĩ yaku ya ũhoro wa ma.
For thy mercy is before my eyes; and I am well pleased with thy truth.
4 Ndiikaranagia na andũ a maheeni, o na kana ngagwatanĩra na andũ arĩa marĩ ũhinga.
I have not sat with the council of vanity: neither will I go in with the doers of unjust things.
5 Nĩthũire kĩũngano kĩa andũ arĩa mekaga ũũru, na ngarega gũikarania na andũ arĩa aaganu.
I have hated the assembly of the malignant; and with the wicked I will not sit.
6 Ngwĩthamba moko nyonanie ndirĩ na mahĩtia, thiũrũrũke kĩgongona gĩaku, Wee Jehova,
I will wash my hands among the innocent; and will compass thy altar, O Lord:
7 nyine nyanĩrĩire rwĩmbo rwa gũcookia ngaatho, na heane ũhoro wa ciĩko ciaku ciothe cia magegania.
That I may hear the voice of thy praise: and tell of all thy wondrous works.
8 Wee Jehova, nĩnyendete nyũmba ĩrĩa ũtũũraga, o handũ harĩa riiri waku ũikaraga.
I have loved, O Lord, the beauty 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,
Take not away my soul, O God, with the wicked: nor my life with bloody men:
10 arĩa marĩ na maũndũ ma waganu moko-inĩ mao, o arĩa moko mao ma ũrĩo maiyũrĩte mahaki.
In whose hands are iniquities: their right hand is filled with gifts.
11 No niĩ-rĩ, ndũũraga mũtũũrĩre ũtarĩ ũcuuke; kĩngũũre na ũnjiguĩre tha.
But as for me, I have walked in my innocence: redeem me, and have mercy on me.
12 Magũrũ makwa marũgamĩte handũ harĩa haigananu; nĩndĩrĩgoocaga Jehova ndĩ kĩũngano-inĩ kĩnene.
My foot hath stood in the direct way: in the churches I will bless thee, O Lord.
