Thaburi 31
1 Thaburi ya Daudi Wee Jehova, nĩ harĩwe njũrĩire; ndũkanareke njonorithio; nĩ ũndũ wa ũthingu waku-rĩ, ndeithũra.
[For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] In you, Jehovah, I take refuge. Let me never be disappointed. Deliver me in your righteousness.
2 Ndegera gũtũ na ũhiũhe ũũke ũũhatũre; tuĩka rwaro rwakwa rwa ihiga rwa kũũrĩra, ũtuĩke gĩikaro kĩirigĩre na hinya, ũũhonokie.
Bow down your ear to me. Deliver me speedily. Be to me a strong rock, a house of defense 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 you are my rock and my fortress, therefore for your name's sake lead me and guide me.
4 Ndeithũkithia mũtego-inĩ ũrĩa nyambĩirwo, nĩgũkorwo nĩwe rĩũrĩro rĩakwa.
Pluck me out of the net that they have laid secretly for me, for you are my stronghold.
5 Roho wakwa ndaũiga moko-inĩ maku; Wee Jehova, ngũũra, o Wee Mũrungu ũrĩa wa ma.
Into your hands I commit my spirit. You redeem me, Jehovah, God of truth.
6 Nĩthũire arĩa mahooyaga ngai cia mĩhianano ĩtarĩ kĩene; niĩ ndĩhokete o Jehova.
I hate those who regard lying vanities, but I trust 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 your loving kindness, for you have seen my affliction. You have known my soul in adversities.
8 Ndũũneanĩte kũrĩ thũ, no nĩũkinyithĩtie magũrũ makwa handũ haariĩ.
You have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy. You have 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.
Have mercy on me, Jehovah, for I am in distress. My eye, my soul, and my body waste away with grief.
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, my years with sighing. My strength fails because of my affliction, and my bones waste away.
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.
Because of all my adversaries I have become utterly contemptible to my neighbors, A fear to my acquaintances. Those who saw me on the street fled from me.
12 Nĩmariganĩirwo nĩ niĩ o ta mũndũ ũkuĩte; ngakĩhaana o ta nyũngũ nguũ.
I am forgotten from their hearts like a dead man. I am like broken pottery.
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, while they conspire 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 trust in you, Jehovah. I said, "You are my God."
15 Mahinda makwa marĩ moko-inĩ maku; ndeithũra kuuma kũrĩ thũ ciakwa, na kuuma kũrĩ arĩa maathingataga.
My times are in your hand. Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, and from those who persecute me.
16 Tũma ũthiũ waku warĩre ndungata yaku; honokia nĩ ũndũ wa wendo waku ũtathiraga.
Make your face to shine on your servant. Save me in your loving kindness.
17 Wee Jehova, ndũkareke njonorithio, nĩgũkorwo nĩwe ngayagĩra; no andũ arĩa aaganu ũreke maconorithio na makome mbĩrĩra-inĩ makirĩte ki. (Sheol h7585)
Let me not be disappointed, Jehovah, for I have called on you. Let the wicked be disappointed. 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 be mute, which speak against the righteous insolently, with 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 your goodness, which you have stored up for those who fear you, which you have worked for those who take refuge in you, before the descendants of Adam.
20 Ũmahithaga harĩa Wee ũrĩ o harĩa hegitĩtie, kuuma kũrĩ arĩa mamaciiragĩra kũmeka ũũru; ũmaigaga gĩikaro-inĩ gĩaku, ũkamagitĩra harĩ nĩmĩ iria icambanagia.
In the shelter of your presence you will hide them from the plotting of man. You will keep them secretly in a dwelling away from the strife of tongues.
21 Jehova arogoocwo, nĩgũkorwo nĩanyonirie wendo wake wa magegania rĩrĩa ndaarĩ itũũra inene rĩrigiicĩirio nĩ thũ.
Praise be to Jehovah, for he has shown me his marvelous loving kindness in a besieged 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 your eyes." Nevertheless you heard the voice of my petitions when I cried to you.
23 Endai Jehova inyuĩ andũ ake aamũre! Jehova nĩamenyagĩrĩra arĩa ehokeku, no ũrĩa mwĩtĩĩi amũrĩhaga o ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire.
Oh love Jehovah, all you his faithful ones. Jehovah preserves the faithful, and fully recompenses him who behaves arrogantly.
24 Gĩai na hinya na mwĩyũmĩrĩrie ngoro, inyuĩ inyuothe arĩa mwĩhokete Jehova.
Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who hope in Jehovah.
