Thaburi 34
1 Thaburi ya Daudi Ndĩrĩkumagia Jehova hĩndĩ ciothe; ndĩrĩmũgoocaga na kanua gakwa hĩndĩ ciothe.
To David, when he changed his appearance in the sight of Abimelech, and so he dismissed him, and he went away. I will bless the Lord at all times. His praise will be ever in my mouth.
2 Ngoro yakwa nĩ Jehova ĩrĩĩrahaga; arĩa anyamaarĩku marĩiguaga ũguo magakena.
In the Lord, my soul will be praised. May the meek listen and rejoice.
3 Goocai Jehova mũmũnenehie mũrĩ hamwe na niĩ; rekei tũtũũgĩrie rĩĩtwa rĩake tũrĩ hamwe.
Magnify the Lord with me, and let us extol his name in itself.
4 Ndarongoririe Jehova, nake akĩnjĩtĩka, akĩndeithũra kuuma kũrĩ maũndũ marĩa mothe maanjĩkagĩra guoya.
I sought the Lord, and he heeded me, and he carried me away from all my tribulations.
5 Andũ arĩa mamũcũthagĩrĩria matheragĩrwo nĩ ũtheri; mothiũ mao gũtirĩ hĩndĩ magaaconorithio.
Approach him and be enlightened, and your faces will not be confounded.
6 Mũndũ ũyũ mũthĩĩni aakaĩire Jehova, nake Jehova akĩmũigua, akĩmũhonokia mathĩĩna-inĩ make mothe.
This poor one cried out, and the Lord heeded him, and he saved him from all his tribulations.
7 Mũraika wa Jehova aikaraga arangĩire arĩa othe mamwĩtigagĩra, na akamateithũra othe.
The Angel of the Lord will encamp around those who fear him, and he will rescue them.
8 Camai muone atĩ Jehova nĩ mwega; kũrathimwo nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa ũragĩra harĩ we.
Taste and see that the Lord is sweet. Blessed is the man who hopes in him.
9 Mwĩtigĩrei Jehova, inyuĩ andũ ake aamũre, nĩgũkorwo arĩa mamwĩtigĩrĩte gũtirĩ kĩndũ maagaga.
Fear the Lord, all you his saints. For there is no destitution for those who fear him.
10 Mĩrũũthi no yage gĩa kũrĩa ĩhũte, no arĩa marongoragia Jehova gũtirĩ kĩndũ kĩega maagaga.
The rich have been needy and hungry, but those who seek the Lord will not be deprived of any good thing.
11 Ũkai ciana ciakwa, mũthikĩrĩrie ũrĩa nguuga; nĩngũmũruta gwĩtigĩra Jehova.
Come forward, sons. Listen to me. I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
12 Mũndũ ũrĩa wanyu ũngĩenda gũtũũra muoyo, na erirĩrie kuona matukũ maingĩ mega,
Which is the man who wills life, who chooses to see good days?
13 nĩakĩmenyerere rũrĩmĩ rwake rũtikoige ũũru, na mĩromo yake ndĩkaarie maheeni.
Prohibit your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking deceit.
14 Garũrũka utige gwĩka ũũru na wĩke ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire; caragia thayũ na ũũthingatage.
Turn away from evil, and do good. Inquire about peace, and pursue it.
15 Maitho ma Jehova macũthagĩrĩria andũ arĩa athingu, na matũ make magathikĩrĩria kĩrĩro kĩao;
The eyes of the Lord are on the just, and his ears are with their prayers.
16 ũthiũ wa Jehova ũũkagĩrĩra andũ arĩa mekaga ũũru, nĩguo moima thĩ matikanaririkanwo.
But the countenance of the Lord is upon those who do evil, to perish the remembrance of them from the earth.
17 Andũ arĩa athingu makayaga, Jehova akamaigua; amateithũraga kuuma mathĩĩna-inĩ mao mothe.
The just cried out, and the Lord heard them, and he freed them from all their tribulations.
18 Jehova akoragwo arĩ hakuhĩ na andũ arĩa ahehenjeku ngoro, na akahonokia arĩa athuthĩku roho.
The Lord is near to those who are troubled in heart, and he will save the humble in spirit.
19 Mũndũ ũrĩa mũthingu no akorwo arĩ na mathĩĩna maingĩ, no Jehova amũteithũraga harĩ mo mothe;
Many are the afflictions of the just, but from them all the Lord will free them.
20 agitagĩra mahĩndĩ make mothe, gũtirĩ o na rĩmwe rĩngiunĩka.
The Lord preserves all of their bones, not one of them shall be broken.
21 Andũ arĩa aaganu makooragwo nĩ ũũru; nao arĩa mathũire andũ arĩa athingu nĩmagatuĩrwo ciira.
The death of a sinner is very harmful, and those who hate the just will fare badly.
22 Jehova akũũraga ndungata ciake; arĩa othe moragĩra harĩ we gũtirĩ ũgaatuĩrwo ciira.
The Lord will redeem the souls of his servants, and none of those who hope in him will fare badly.
