Thaburi 27
1 Thaburi ya Daudi Jehova nĩwe ũtheri wakwa na ũhonokio wakwa; ingĩgĩĩtigĩra ũ? Jehova nĩwe kĩĩhitho kĩa muoyo wakwa; ingĩkĩmakio nũũ?
A psalm of David. The Lord is my light and my savior; whom then should I fear? The Lord protects my life; whom then should I dread?
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 drew near to assail me and eat up my flesh, it was those who distressed and opposed me who stumbled and fell.
3 O na mbũtũ cia ita ingĩndigiicĩria, ngoro yakwa ndĩngĩĩtigĩra; o na ingĩũkĩrĩrwo nĩ ita, ndingĩgĩa na nganja.
Though against me a host should encamp, yet my heart would be fearless: though battle should rise up against me, still would I be trustful.
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 asked of the Lord, and that do I long for – To live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the grace of the Lord and inquire 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 he will hide me in his shelter in the day of misfortune. In his sheltering tent he hides me: he lifts me up on 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 that my head he has lifted above my encircling foes, I will march round the altar and sacrifice, shouting with joy, in his tent, making music and song to the Lord.
7 Wee Jehova, igua mũgambo wakwa rĩrĩa ndagũkaĩra; njiguagĩra tha na ũnjĩtĩkage.
Hear, O Lord, my loud cry, and graciously answer me.
8 Ha ũhoro waku, ngoro yakwa yugaga atĩrĩ, “Rongoria ũthiũ wake!” Na niĩ ngoiga atĩrĩ, Wee Jehova, ũthiũ waku nĩguo ndĩ rongoragia.
My heart has said to you, “Your face, O Lord, 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 from me, reject not your servant in anger: for you have been my help. Abandon me not, nor forsake me, O God of my help:
10 O na baba na maitũ mangĩndiganĩria, Jehova nĩakanyamũkĩra.
for father and mother have left me; but 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: lead me in an even path, because of my enemies.
12 Ndũkaneane kũrĩ arĩa marĩ muku na niĩ, nĩgũkorwo aira a maheeni nĩmanjũkĩrĩire, makaheeha mĩheehũ ya kũnjĩka ũũru.
Give me not up, O Lord, unto the rage of my foes; for against me have risen false witnesses, breathing out cruelty.
13 Niĩ nĩnjĩtĩkĩtie ũũ: atĩ nĩngeyonera wega wa Jehova ndĩ bũrũri wa arĩa marĩ muoyo.
Firm is the faith I cherish, that I, in the land of the living, will yet see the goodness of God.
14 Eterera o Jehova: gĩa na hinya na ũũmĩrĩrie ngoro, na weterere Jehova.
Let your heart be courageous and strong, and wait on the Lord.
