Thaburi 32
1 Thaburi ya Daudi Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ ũrĩa ũrekeirwo mahĩtia make, o ũrĩa mehia make mahumbĩrĩtwo.
[A Psalm] of instruction by David. Blessed [are they] whose transgressions are forgiven, and who sins are covered.
2 Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa Jehova atatuaga mwĩhia, na ũrĩa ũtarĩ ũhinga ngoro.
Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin, and whose mouth there is no guile.
3 Rĩrĩa ndakirĩte ki, mahĩndĩ makwa nĩmahinyarire nĩ ũndũ wa gũcaaya gwakwa mũthenya wothe.
Because I kept silence, my bones waxed old, from my crying all the day.
4 Nĩgũkorwo guoko gwaku nĩ kwanditũhagĩra mũthenya na ũtukũ; hinya wakwa wathirire o ta ũrĩa ime rĩthiraga hĩndĩ ya riũa.
For day and night your hand was heavy upon me: I became thoroughly miserable while a thorn was fastened in [me]. (Pause)
5 Hĩndĩ ĩyo ngĩkumbũrĩra mehia makwa, na ndiahithire waganu wakwa, ndoigire atĩrĩ, “Nĩngumbũra mahĩtia makwa kũrĩ Jehova,” nawe ũkĩndekera ũũru wa mehia makwa.
I acknowledged my sin, and hid not mine iniquity: I said, I will confess mine iniquity to the Lord against myself; and you forgave the ungodliness of my heart. (Pause)
6 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũndũ wothe mwĩtigĩri Ngai nĩakũhooe rĩrĩa ũngĩoneka; ti-itherũ rĩrĩa maaĩ maingĩ marĩ hinya maambũrũrũka, matingĩmũkinyĩra.
Therefore shall every holy one pray to you in a fit time: only in the deluge of many waters they shall not come near to him.
7 Wee nĩwe kĩĩhitho gĩakwa; nĩũkangitĩra hĩndĩ ya mathĩĩna, na ũũthiũrũrũkĩrie na nyĩmbo cia ũhonokio.
You are my refuge from the affliction that encompasses me; my joy, to deliver me from them that have compassed me. (Pause)
8 Nĩndĩrĩkũrutaga na ngakuonereria njĩra ĩrĩa wagĩrĩirwo nĩ kũgera; ndĩrĩgũtaaraga na ngũmenyagĩrĩre.
I will instruct you and guide you in this way wherein you shall go: I will fix mine eyes upon you.
9 Ndũkahaane ta mbarathi kana nyũmbũ, iria itarĩ ũmenyo, iria arĩ o nginya ciĩkĩrwo matamu na mĩkwa kanua, kwaga ũguo itingĩgũkuhĩrĩria.
Be you not as horse and mule, which have no understanding; [but you must] constrain their jaws with bit and curb, lest they should come near to you.
10 Andũ arĩa aaganu monaga maruo maingĩ, no mũndũ ũrĩa wĩhokaga Jehova egũtũũra arigiicĩirio nĩ wendo ũrĩa ũtathiraga.
Many are the scourges of the sinner: but him that hopes in the Lord mercy shall compass about.
11 Inyuĩ arĩa athingu kenerai Jehova na mũcanjamũke; mũinĩrei, inyuothe arĩa arũngĩrĩru ngoro!
Be glad in the Lord, and exult, you righteous: and glory, all you that are upright in heart.
