Thaburi 34
1 Thaburi ya Daudi Ndĩrĩkumagia Jehova hĩndĩ ciothe; ndĩrĩmũgoocaga na kanua gakwa hĩndĩ ciothe.
[A Psalm] of David, when he changed his behaviour before Abimelech; who drove him away, and he departed. I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise [shall] continually [be] in my mouth.
2 Ngoro yakwa nĩ Jehova ĩrĩĩrahaga; arĩa anyamaarĩku marĩiguaga ũguo magakena.
My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear [thereof], and be glad.
3 Goocai Jehova mũmũnenehie mũrĩ hamwe na niĩ; rekei tũtũũgĩrie rĩĩtwa rĩake tũrĩ hamwe.
O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.
4 Ndarongoririe Jehova, nake akĩnjĩtĩka, akĩndeithũra kuuma kũrĩ maũndũ marĩa mothe maanjĩkagĩra guoya.
I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.
5 Andũ arĩa mamũcũthagĩrĩria matheragĩrwo nĩ ũtheri; mothiũ mao gũtirĩ hĩndĩ magaaconorithio.
They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.
6 Mũndũ ũyũ mũthĩĩni aakaĩire Jehova, nake Jehova akĩmũigua, akĩmũhonokia mathĩĩna-inĩ make mothe.
This poor man cried, and the LORD heard [him], and saved him out of all his troubles.
7 Mũraika wa Jehova aikaraga arangĩire arĩa othe mamwĩtigagĩra, na akamateithũra othe.
The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.
8 Camai muone atĩ Jehova nĩ mwega; kũrathimwo nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa ũragĩra harĩ we.
O taste and see that the LORD [is] good: blessed [is] the man [that] trusteth in him.
9 Mwĩtigĩrei Jehova, inyuĩ andũ ake aamũre, nĩgũkorwo arĩa mamwĩtigĩrĩte gũtirĩ kĩndũ maagaga.
O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for [there is] no want to them that fear him.
10 Mĩrũũthi no yage gĩa kũrĩa ĩhũte, no arĩa marongoragia Jehova gũtirĩ kĩndũ kĩega maagaga.
The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good [thing].
11 Ũkai ciana ciakwa, mũthikĩrĩrie ũrĩa nguuga; nĩngũmũruta gwĩtigĩra Jehova.
Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
12 Mũndũ ũrĩa wanyu ũngĩenda gũtũũra muoyo, na erirĩrie kuona matukũ maingĩ mega,
What man [is he that] desireth life, [and] loveth [many] days, that he may see good?
13 nĩakĩmenyerere rũrĩmĩ rwake rũtikoige ũũru, na mĩromo yake ndĩkaarie maheeni.
Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.
14 Garũrũka utige gwĩka ũũru na wĩke ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire; caragia thayũ na ũũthingatage.
Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
15 Maitho ma Jehova macũthagĩrĩria andũ arĩa athingu, na matũ make magathikĩrĩria kĩrĩro kĩao;
The eyes of the LORD [are] upon the righteous, and his ears [are open] unto their cry.
16 ũthiũ wa Jehova ũũkagĩrĩra andũ arĩa mekaga ũũru, nĩguo moima thĩ matikanaririkanwo.
The face of the LORD [is] against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
17 Andũ arĩa athingu makayaga, Jehova akamaigua; amateithũraga kuuma mathĩĩna-inĩ mao mothe.
[The righteous] cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.
18 Jehova akoragwo arĩ hakuhĩ na andũ arĩa ahehenjeku ngoro, na akahonokia arĩa athuthĩku roho.
The LORD [is] nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
19 Mũndũ ũrĩa mũthingu no akorwo arĩ na mathĩĩna maingĩ, no Jehova amũteithũraga harĩ mo mothe;
Many [are] the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.
20 agitagĩra mahĩndĩ make mothe, gũtirĩ o na rĩmwe rĩngiunĩka.
He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.
21 Andũ arĩa aaganu makooragwo nĩ ũũru; nao arĩa mathũire andũ arĩa athingu nĩmagatuĩrwo ciira.
Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.
22 Jehova akũũraga ndungata ciake; arĩa othe moragĩra harĩ we gũtirĩ ũgaatuĩrwo ciira.
The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.
