Thaburi 26
1 Thaburi ya Daudi Wee Jehova, nduĩra itua rĩa kĩhooto, nĩgũkorwo mĩthiĩre yakwa nĩmĩkindĩrĩku; ndũũrĩte ndĩhokete Jehova itegũthangania.
David’s. Do me justice, O Yahweh, For, I, in my blamelessness, have walked, and, in Yahweh, have I trusted, I will not waver.
2 Wee Jehova, ngeria na ũndorie, tuĩria ngoro yakwa o na meciiria makwa;
Try me, O Yahweh, and prove me, Test my reins and my heart: —
3 nĩgũkorwo wendo waku ũkoragwo ũrĩ mbere yakwa, na ngeragĩra njĩra-inĩ yaku ya ũhoro wa ma.
For, thy lovingkindness, hath been before mine eyes, and I have walked to and fro in thy faithfulness;
4 Ndiikaranagia na andũ a maheeni, o na kana ngagwatanĩra na andũ arĩa marĩ ũhinga.
I have not sat with men of deceit, nor, with dissemblers, would I enter;
5 Nĩthũire kĩũngano kĩa andũ arĩa mekaga ũũru, na ngarega gũikarania na andũ arĩa aaganu.
I have hated the convocation of evil-doers, and, with lawless men, would I not sit;
6 Ngwĩthamba moko nyonanie ndirĩ na mahĩtia, thiũrũrũke kĩgongona gĩaku, Wee Jehova,
I will bathe, in pureness, my hands, —so will I go in procession around thine altar, O Yahweh;
7 nyine nyanĩrĩire rwĩmbo rwa gũcookia ngaatho, na heane ũhoro wa ciĩko ciaku ciothe cia magegania.
To sound aloud a song, and to recount all thy wonderful doings.
8 Wee Jehova, nĩnyendete nyũmba ĩrĩa ũtũũraga, o handũ harĩa riiri waku ũikaraga.
O Yahweh, I have loved the asylum of thy house, even the place of the habitation of thy glory!
9 Ndũkeherie ngoro yakwa hamwe na ya arĩa mehagia, kana muoyo wakwa hamwe na wa andũ arĩa maitaga thakame,
Do not remove, with sinners, my soul, nor, with men of bloodshed, my life;
10 arĩa marĩ na maũndũ ma waganu moko-inĩ mao, o arĩa moko mao ma ũrĩo maiyũrĩte mahaki.
In whose hands is a plot, and, their right hand, is filled with a bribe.
11 No niĩ-rĩ, ndũũraga mũtũũrĩre ũtarĩ ũcuuke; kĩngũũre na ũnjiguĩre tha.
But, I, in my blamelessness, will walk, Redeem me and show me favour.
12 Magũrũ makwa marũgamĩte handũ harĩa haigananu; nĩndĩrĩgoocaga Jehova ndĩ kĩũngano-inĩ kĩnene.
My foot standeth in a level place, In the convocations, will I bless Yahweh.
