Thaburi 28
1 Thaburi ya Daudi Wee Jehova, nĩwe ndĩrakaĩra, Wee Rwaro rwakwa rwa Ihiga; ndũkarege gũũthikĩrĩria. Nĩgũkorwo ũngĩngirĩra, ingĩhaana ta arĩa maikũrũkĩte magatoonya irima.
“A psalm of David.” To thee do I cry, O LORD! O my rock! be not silent to me, Lest, if thou answer me not, I become like those who go down to the pit!
2 Igua gũthaithana gwakwa ngĩgũkaĩra ũndeithie, o nyambararĩtie moko makwa ndĩmerekeirie harĩa haku Hatheru-Mũno.
Hear the voice of my supplication, when I cry unto thee, When I lift up my hands to thy most holy sanctuary!
3 Ndũkanguucũrũranie hamwe na andũ arĩa aaganu, atĩ ũndwaranĩrie hamwe na arĩa mekaga ũũru, o arĩa maaragia ndeto cia thayũ na andũ a itũũra, no marĩ na ũũru ngoro-inĩ ciao.
Draw me not away with the impious, and with evil-doers, Who speak peace to their neighbors, while mischief is in their hearts!
4 Andũ acio marĩhe nĩ ũndũ wa ciĩko ciao, na nĩ ũndũ wa wĩra wao mũũru; marĩhe nĩ ũndũ wa wĩra wa moko mao, ũmarĩhe o kĩrĩa kĩmagĩrĩire.
Give them according to their deeds, and the wickedness of their doings; Give them according to the work of their hands; Render to them their desert!
5 Tondũ matirũmbũyagia mawĩko ma Jehova o na wĩra wa moko make, we nĩakamatharũria na ndakamaaka rĩngĩ.
For they regard not the doings of the LORD, nor the work of his hands; Therefore will he destroy them, and not again build them up.
6 Jehova arogoocwo, nĩgũkorwo nĩaiguĩte ngĩmũthaitha anjiguĩre tha.
Praised be the LORD, for he hath heard the voice of my supplications!
7 Jehova nĩwe hinya wakwa na nowe ngo yakwa; ngoro yakwa nĩwe ĩĩhokete, na nĩandeithĩtie. Ngoro yakwa nĩĩrarũũhia nĩ gĩkeno, na nĩngũmũinĩra rwĩmbo rwa kũmũcookeria ngaatho.
The LORD is my strength and my shield; My heart trusteth in him, and he helpeth me; Therefore doth my heart exult, And in my song I will praise him.
8 Jehova nĩwe hinya wa andũ ake, na kũrĩ ũrĩa wake mũitĩrĩrie maguta nĩ kĩirigo kĩa hinya kĩa ũhonokio.
Jehovah is the strength of his people; He is the protecting shield of his anointed.
9 Honokia andũ aku na ũrathime igai rĩĩrĩ rĩaku, tuĩka mũrĩithi wao na ũmakuuage nginya tene.
Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance; Feed them also, and build them up for ever!
