Thaburi 35
1 Thaburi ya Daudi Wee Jehova, hũũrana na arĩa marahũũrana na niĩ; rũa na arĩa mararũa na niĩ.
For David himself. Judge thou, O Lord, them that wrong me: overthrow them that fight against me.
2 Oya ngo nene na gako kanini; arahũka ũũke ũndeithie.
Take hold of arms and shield: and rise up to help me.
3 Hiũria itimũ na mĩcengi, ũũkĩrĩre arĩa maathingatĩte. Ĩra ngoro yakwa atĩrĩ, “Niĩ nĩ niĩ ũhonokio waku.”
Bring out the sword, and shut up the way against them that persecute me: say to my soul: I am thy salvation.
4 Andũ arĩa mendaga kũnduta muoyo maroconorithio na maagithio gĩtĩĩo, arĩa mathugundaga kũnyũnũha marocookio na thuutha mamakĩte.
Let them be confounded and ashamed that seek after my soul. Let them be turned back and be confounded that devise against me.
5 Marohaana ta mahuti mombũrĩtwo nĩ rũhuho, na mũraika wa Jehova amaingatithĩtie;
Let them become as dust before the wind: and let the angel of the Lord straiten them.
6 njĩra yao ĩrogĩa nduma na ĩtendere, nake mũraika wa Jehova ahanyũkanie nao.
Let their way become dark and slippery; and let the angel of the Lord pursue them.
7 Kuona atĩ nĩmahithĩire wabu wa kũndega hatarĩ gĩtũmi, na makanyenjera irima hatarĩ gĩtũmi,
For without cause they have hidden their net for me unto destruction: without cause they have upbraided my soul.
8 marokorererwo nĩ mwanangĩko matehaarĩirie, wabu ũcio manyambĩire ũromanyiita o ene, marogwa irima rĩu manyenjeire.
Let the snare which he knoweth not come upon him: and let the net which he hath hidden catch him: and let the net which he hath hidden catch him: and into that very snare let them fall.
9 Hĩndĩ ĩyo ngoro yakwa ĩgaacanjamũka nĩ ũndũ wa Jehova, na ĩkenagĩre ũhonokio wake.
But my soul shall rejoice in the Lord; and shall be delighted in his salvation.
10 Nĩngwanĩrĩra na ngoro yakwa yothe, njũũrie atĩrĩ, “Nũũ ũhaana tawe, Wee Jehova? O Wee ũhatũraga andũ arĩa athĩĩni harĩ arĩa marĩ hinya kũmakĩra, ũkahatũra athĩĩni na abatari harĩ arĩa mamatunyaga indo.”
All my bones shall say: Lord, who is like to thee? Who deliverest the poor from the hand of them that are stronger than he; the needy and the poor from them that strip him.
11 Nĩkuumĩrĩte aira a maheeni, makanjũũria ũhoro wa maũndũ itooĩ.
Unjust witnesses rising up have asked me things I knew not.
12 Wega wakwa mandĩhaga na ũũru, magatiga ngoro yakwa ĩrĩ na ihooru.
They repaid me evil for good: to the depriving me of my soul.
13 No rĩrĩa o maarĩ arũaru, niĩ ndehumbire nguo ya ikũnia, na ngĩĩnyiihia na ũndũ wa kwĩhinga kũrĩa irio. Rĩrĩa mahooya makwa maagire macookio-rĩ,
But as for me, when they were troublesome to me, I was clothed with haircloth. I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer shall be turned into my bosom.
14 ndaikarire ngĩcakayaga, o taarĩ mũrata wakwa kana mũrũ wa maitũ ndaacakayagĩra. Ndethikĩire ndĩ na ihooru, o taarĩ mũndũ ũracakaĩra nyina.
As a neighbour and as an own brother, so did I please: as one mourning and sorrowful so was I humbled.
15 No rĩrĩa ndahĩngirwo ngĩgwa, o moonganire hamwe mangenerere; atharĩkĩri makĩũngana maatharĩkĩre itekũmenya. Manjaambirie mategũtigithĩria.
But they rejoiced against me, and came together: scourges were gathered together upon me, and I knew not.
16 Maanyũrũragia ta andũ matooĩ Ngai, makaahagaranĩria magego mao.
They were separated, and repented not: they tempted me, they scoffed at me with scorn: they gnashed upon me with their teeth.
17 Wee Jehova-rĩ, nĩ nginya rĩ ũgũikara wĩroreire? Hatũra muoyo wakwa kuuma harĩ wanangi wao, ũhatũre muoyo wakwa wa goro kuuma harĩ mĩrũũthi ĩno.
Lord, when wilt thou look upon me? rescue thou soul from their malice: my only one from the lions.
18 Nĩ niĩ ngũgũcookeria ngaatho kĩũngano-inĩ kĩrĩa kĩnene; ndĩkũgoocaga ndĩ gatagatĩ ka andũ aingĩ.
I will give thanks to thee in a great church; I will praise thee in a strong people.
19 Ndũkareke arĩa maathũire tũhũ mangũũrĩre maitho, mangenerere; kana acio maamenete hatarĩ gĩtũmi moinanĩre maitho.
Let not them that are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: who have hated me without cause, and wink with the eyes.
20 Matiaragia ndeto cia thayũ, no mathugundaga maũndũ ma maheeni, ma gũũkĩrĩra andũ arĩa maikaraga na thayũ bũrũri-inĩ.
For they spoke indeed peaceably to me; and speaking in the anger of the earth they devised guile.
21 Manjathamagĩria tũnua twao makoiga atĩrĩ, “Haiya! Haiya! Maitho maitũ nĩmeyoneire ũguo.”
And they opened their mouth wide against me; they said: Well done, well done, our eyes have seen it.
22 Wee Jehova, nĩwĩoneire ũguo; tiga gũkira. Wee Mwathani-rĩ, ndũgaikare haraaya na niĩ.
Thou hast seen, O Lord, be not thou silent: O Lord, depart not from me.
23 Arahũka, ũkĩra ũngitĩre! Hũũranĩra, Wee Ngai wakwa na Mwathani wakwa.
Arise, and be attentive to my judgment: to my cause, my God, and my Lord.
24 Wee Jehova, nduĩra kũringana na ũthingu waku, Wee Ngai wakwa; ndũkareke mangũũrĩre maitho, mangenerere.
Judge me, O Lord my God according to thy justice, and let them not rejoice over me.
25 Ndũkareke meciirie atĩrĩ, “Haiya, ũguo noguo tũrendaga gwĩkĩke!” Kana moige atĩrĩ, “Nĩtũmũmeretie.”
Let them not say in their hearts: It is well, it is well, to our mind: neither let them say: We have swallowed him up.
26 Arĩa othe mangũũragĩra maitho mangenerere nĩ ũndũ wa mĩnyamaro yakwa maroconorithio na manyiitwo nĩ kĩrigiicano; arĩa othe metũũgagĩria igũrũ rĩakwa maroconorithio na maagithio gĩtĩĩo.
Let them blush: and be ashamed together, who rejoice at my evils. Let them be clothed with confusion and shame, who speak great things against me.
27 Arĩa makenaga ndaatuĩrwo ciira na kĩhooto, nĩmanĩrĩre na gĩkeno na gũcanjamũka; nĩmatũũre moigaga atĩrĩ, “Jehova arotũgĩrio, o we ũkenagĩra ũgaacĩru wa ndungata yake.”
Let them rejoice and be glad, who are well pleased with my justice, and let them say always: The Lord be magnified, who delights in the peace of his servant.
28 Rũrĩmĩ rwakwa rũrĩaragia ũhoro wa ũthingu waku, na ngũgoocage mũthenya wothe.
Any my tongue shall meditate thy justice, thy praise all the day long.
