Thaburi 27
1 Thaburi ya Daudi Jehova nĩwe ũtheri wakwa na ũhonokio wakwa; ingĩgĩĩtigĩra ũ? Jehova nĩwe kĩĩhitho kĩa muoyo wakwa; ingĩkĩmakio nũũ?
Of David. The Lord is my light and my salvation; who is then a cause of fear to me? the Lord is the strength of my life; who is a danger to me?
2 Rĩrĩa andũ arĩa ooru manjũkĩrĩra nĩguo matambuure nyama cia mwĩrĩ wakwa, o acio thũ ciakwa na arĩa marĩ muku na niĩ maatharĩkĩra-rĩ, marĩhĩngagwo makagũa.
When evil-doers, even my haters, came on me to put an end to me, they were broken and put to shame.
3 O na mbũtũ cia ita ingĩndigiicĩria, ngoro yakwa ndĩngĩĩtigĩra; o na ingĩũkĩrĩrwo nĩ ita, ndingĩgĩa na nganja.
Even if an army came against me with its tents, my heart would have no fear: if war was made on me, my faith would not be moved.
4 Ndĩ o ũndũ ũmwe njũũragia harĩ Jehova, na noguo thingataga: atĩ njikarage nyũmba ya Jehova matukũ mothe ma muoyo wakwa, ndĩĩonagĩre wega wa Jehova, na nduĩragie kĩrĩra ndĩ thĩinĩ wa hekarũ yake.
One prayer have I made to the Lord, and this is my heart's desire; that I may have a place in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, looking on his glory, and getting wisdom in his Temple.
5 Nĩgũkorwo mũthenya wa thĩĩna-rĩ, akaangitĩra ndĩ hau gĩikaro-inĩ gĩake; nĩakahitha kĩĩgunyĩ-inĩ kĩa hema yake, na andũgamie igũrũ wa rwaro rwa ihiga.
For in the time of trouble he will keep me safe in his tent: in the secret place of his tent he will keep me from men's eyes; high on a rock he will put me.
6 Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũtwe wakwa nĩũkambarario igũrũ wa thũ iria iithiũrũrũkĩirie; nĩngaruta igongona ngĩanagĩrĩra na gĩkeno ndĩ hema-inĩ yake; nĩngainĩra Jehova na ndĩmũgooce.
And now my head will be lifted up higher than my haters who are round me: because of this I will make offerings of joy in his tent; I will make a song, truly I will make a song of praise to the Lord.
7 Wee Jehova, igua mũgambo wakwa rĩrĩa ndagũkaĩra; njiguagĩra tha na ũnjĩtĩkage.
O Lord, let the voice of my cry come to your ears: have mercy on me, and give me an answer.
8 Ha ũhoro waku, ngoro yakwa yugaga atĩrĩ, “Rongoria ũthiũ wake!” Na niĩ ngoiga atĩrĩ, Wee Jehova, ũthiũ waku nĩguo ndĩ rongoragia.
When you said, Make search for my face, my heart said to you, For your face will I make my search.
9 Ndũkaahithe ũthiũ waku, tiga kũingata ndungata yaku na marakara; Wee nĩwe ũtũũrĩte ũndeithagia. Ndũkandege kana ũndiganĩrie, Wee Ngai Mũhonokia wakwa.
Let not your face be covered from me; do not put away your servant in wrath; you have been my help: do not give me up or take your support from me, O God of my salvation.
10 O na baba na maitũ mangĩndiganĩria, Jehova nĩakanyamũkĩra.
When my father and my mother are turned away from me, then the Lord will be my support.
11 Wee Jehova nyonagĩrĩria njĩra yaku, na ũngeragĩrie njĩra ĩrĩa nũngarũ, nĩ ũndũ wa thũ ciakwa.
Make your way clear to me, O Lord, guiding me by the right way, because of my haters.
12 Ndũkaneane kũrĩ arĩa marĩ muku na niĩ, nĩgũkorwo aira a maheeni nĩmanjũkĩrĩire, makaheeha mĩheehũ ya kũnjĩka ũũru.
Do not give me into their hands, because false witnesses have come out against me, and men breathing destruction.
13 Niĩ nĩnjĩtĩkĩtie ũũ: atĩ nĩngeyonera wega wa Jehova ndĩ bũrũri wa arĩa marĩ muoyo.
I had almost given up my hope of seeing the blessing of the Lord in the land of the living.
14 Eterera o Jehova: gĩa na hinya na ũũmĩrĩrie ngoro, na weterere Jehova.
Let your hope be in the Lord: take heart and be strong; yes, let your hope be in the Lord.
