Thaburi 31
1 Thaburi ya Daudi Wee Jehova, nĩ harĩwe njũrĩire; ndũkanareke njonorithio; nĩ ũndũ wa ũthingu waku-rĩ, ndeithũra.
To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. In thee, Jehovah, do I trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness.
2 Ndegera gũtũ na ũhiũhe ũũke ũũhatũre; tuĩka rwaro rwakwa rwa ihiga rwa kũũrĩra, ũtuĩke gĩikaro kĩirigĩre na hinya, ũũhonokie.
Incline thine ear to me, deliver me speedily; be a strong rock to me, a house of defence to save me.
3 Nĩgũkorwo Wee nĩwe Rwaro rwakwa rwa Ihiga na gĩikaro gĩakwa kĩirigĩre na hinya, nĩ ũndũ wa rĩĩtwa rĩaku, ndongoria na ũnyonie njĩra.
For thou art my rock and my fortress; and, for thy name's sake, thou wilt lead me and guide me.
4 Ndeithũkithia mũtego-inĩ ũrĩa nyambĩirwo, nĩgũkorwo nĩwe rĩũrĩro rĩakwa.
Draw me out of the net that they have hidden for me; for thou art my strength.
5 Roho wakwa ndaũiga moko-inĩ maku; Wee Jehova, ngũũra, o Wee Mũrungu ũrĩa wa ma.
Into thy hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, Jehovah, [thou] God of truth.
6 Nĩthũire arĩa mahooyaga ngai cia mĩhianano ĩtarĩ kĩene; niĩ ndĩhokete o Jehova.
I have hated them that observe lying vanities; and as for me, I have confided in Jehovah.
7 Niĩ nĩngũcanjamũka na ngenage nĩ ũndũ wa wendo waku, nĩgũkorwo nĩwonire mĩnyamaro yakwa, na ũkĩmenya ruo rũnene rwa ngoro yakwa.
I will be glad and rejoice in thy loving-kindness, for thou hast seen mine affliction; thou hast known the troubles of my soul,
8 Ndũũneanĩte kũrĩ thũ, no nĩũkinyithĩtie magũrũ makwa handũ haariĩ.
And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a large place.
9 Njiguĩra tha, Wee Jehova, nĩgũkorwo ndĩ mũnyamarĩku; maitho makwa nĩmaroorwo nĩ hinya nĩ ũndũ wa kĩeha, ngoro yakwa na mwĩrĩ wakwa ikoorwo nĩ hinya nĩ ũndũ wa ihooru.
Be gracious unto me, Jehovah, for I am in trouble: mine eye wasteth away with vexation, my soul and my belly.
10 Muoyo wakwa nĩũniinĩtwo nĩ ruo rũnene, na mĩaka yakwa ĩkaniinwo nĩ gũcaaya; nĩnjũrĩtwo nĩ hinya nĩ ũndũ wa mĩnyamaro yakwa, namo mahĩndĩ makwa makaaga hinya.
For my life is spent with sorrow, and my years with sighing; my strength faileth through mine iniquity, and my bones are wasted.
11 Nĩ ũndũ wa thũ ciakwa ciothe, nduĩkĩte wa kũnyararwo nĩ andũ a itũũra rĩakwa; nduĩkĩte kĩndũ gĩa gwĩtigĩrwo nĩ arata akwa, nao arĩa maanyona njĩra-inĩ nĩ kũũra moraga.
More than to all mine oppressors, I am become exceedingly a reproach, even to my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that see me without flee from me.
12 Nĩmariganĩirwo nĩ niĩ o ta mũndũ ũkuĩte; ngakĩhaana o ta nyũngũ nguũ.
I am forgotten in [their] heart as a dead man; I am become like a broken vessel.
13 Nĩgũkorwo nĩndĩraigua njambanio ya andũ aingĩ; guoya mũnene ũkĩnyumaga na mĩena yothe; marathugunda manjĩke ũũru, makagĩa ndundu ya ũrĩa mangĩnjũraga.
For I have heard the slander of many — terror on every side — when they take counsel together against me: they plot to take away my life.
14 No niĩ nĩwe ndĩhokete, Wee Jehova, ngoiga atĩrĩ, “Wee nĩwe Ngai wakwa.”
But I confided in thee, Jehovah; I said, thou art my God.
15 Mahinda makwa marĩ moko-inĩ maku; ndeithũra kuuma kũrĩ thũ ciakwa, na kuuma kũrĩ arĩa maathingataga.
My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from my persecutors.
16 Tũma ũthiũ waku warĩre ndungata yaku; honokia nĩ ũndũ wa wendo waku ũtathiraga.
Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; save me in thy loving-kindness.
17 Wee Jehova, ndũkareke njonorithio, nĩgũkorwo nĩwe ngayagĩra; no andũ arĩa aaganu ũreke maconorithio na makome mbĩrĩra-inĩ makirĩte ki. (Sheol h7585)
Jehovah, let me not be ashamed; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, let them be silent in Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
18 Tũma mĩromo yao ya kũheenania ĩkirio, nĩgũkorwo maaragia na mwĩtĩĩo na kĩnyararo, maaragia na mwĩgaatho magookĩrĩra andũ arĩa athingu.
Let the lying lips become dumb, which speak insolently against the righteous in pride and contempt.
19 Kaĩ wega waku ũrĩa ũigĩire arĩa magwĩtigĩrĩte, nĩ mũingĩ-ĩ, o wega ũrĩa ũheaga andũ arĩa moragĩra harĩwe andũ othe makĩonaga.
[Oh] how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee, [which] thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee, before the sons of men!
20 Ũmahithaga harĩa Wee ũrĩ o harĩa hegitĩtie, kuuma kũrĩ arĩa mamaciiragĩra kũmeka ũũru; ũmaigaga gĩikaro-inĩ gĩaku, ũkamagitĩra harĩ nĩmĩ iria icambanagia.
Thou keepest them concealed in the secret of thy presence from the conspiracies of man; thou hidest them in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.
21 Jehova arogoocwo, nĩgũkorwo nĩanyonirie wendo wake wa magegania rĩrĩa ndaarĩ itũũra inene rĩrigiicĩirio nĩ thũ.
Blessed be Jehovah; for he hath shewn me wondrously his loving-kindness in a strong city.
22 Rĩrĩa ndaarĩ mũmaku, ndoigire atĩrĩ, “Nĩnjeheretio maitho-inĩ maku!” No nĩwaiguire ngĩgũthaitha ũnjiguĩre tha, rĩrĩa ndagũkaĩire ũndeithie.
As for me, I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes; nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee.
23 Endai Jehova inyuĩ andũ ake aamũre! Jehova nĩamenyagĩrĩra arĩa ehokeku, no ũrĩa mwĩtĩĩi amũrĩhaga o ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire.
Love Jehovah, all ye his saints. Jehovah preserveth the faithful, and plentifully requiteth the proud doer.
24 Gĩai na hinya na mwĩyũmĩrĩrie ngoro, inyuĩ inyuothe arĩa mwĩhokete Jehova.
Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all ye that hope in Jehovah.
