Thaburi 27
1 Thaburi ya Daudi Jehova nĩwe ũtheri wakwa na ũhonokio wakwa; ingĩgĩĩtigĩra ũ? Jehova nĩwe kĩĩhitho kĩa muoyo wakwa; ingĩkĩmakio nũũ?
The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
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 the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
3 O na mbũtũ cia ita ingĩndigiicĩria, ngoro yakwa ndĩngĩĩtigĩra; o na ingĩũkĩrĩrwo nĩ ita, ndingĩgĩa na nganja.
Though an host should camp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.
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 thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire 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 shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.
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 shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.
7 Wee Jehova, igua mũgambo wakwa rĩrĩa ndagũkaĩra; njiguagĩra tha na ũnjĩtĩkage.
Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
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, Seek all of you my face; my heart said unto you, Your face, LORD, will I seek.
9 Ndũkaahithe ũthiũ waku, tiga kũingata ndungata yaku na marakara; Wee nĩwe ũtũũrĩte ũndeithagia. Ndũkandege kana ũndiganĩrie, Wee Ngai Mũhonokia wakwa.
Hide not your face far from me; put not your servant away in anger: you have been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.
10 O na baba na maitũ mangĩndiganĩria, Jehova nĩakanyamũkĩra.
When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.
11 Wee Jehova nyonagĩrĩria njĩra yaku, na ũngeragĩrie njĩra ĩrĩa nũngarũ, nĩ ũndũ wa thũ ciakwa.
Teach me your way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.
12 Ndũkaneane kũrĩ arĩa marĩ muku na niĩ, nĩgũkorwo aira a maheeni nĩmanjũkĩrĩire, makaheeha mĩheehũ ya kũnjĩka ũũru.
Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.
13 Niĩ nĩnjĩtĩkĩtie ũũ: atĩ nĩngeyonera wega wa Jehova ndĩ bũrũri wa arĩa marĩ muoyo.
I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
14 Eterera o Jehova: gĩa na hinya na ũũmĩrĩrie ngoro, na weterere Jehova.
Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.
