Thaburi 36
1 Thaburi ya Daudi Ndĩ na ndũmĩrĩri nditũ ngoro-inĩ yakwa, ĩkoniĩ wĩhia wa mũndũ ũrĩa mwaganu: Nĩ atĩrĩ, hatirĩ wĩtigĩri Ngai maitho-inĩ make.
To the Chief Musician. Of the Servant of Yahweh—of David. Declareth the transgression of the lawless one, within my heart, There is, no dread of God, before his eyes;
2 Nĩ gũkorwo maitho-inĩ make mwene erahaga mũno, ũũ atĩ ndangĩhota gũkũũrana o na kana athũũre mehia make.
For he flattereth himself [too much] in his own eyes, to find his iniquity—to hate [it].
3 Ciugo cia kanua gake nĩ cia waganu na nĩ cia maheeni; nĩatigĩte gũtuĩka mũndũ mũũgĩ na wa gwĩkaga wega.
The words of his mouth, are iniquity and deceit, he hath left off to show discretion by doing well:
4 O na arĩ ũrĩrĩ-inĩ wake athugundaga o maũndũ mooru; eheanaga njĩra-inĩ ya kũmwerekeria gwĩka ũũru, na ndathũũraga ũndũ mũũru.
Iniquity, deviseth he upon his bed, —he taketh his stand in a way, not good, Wrong, doth he not abhor!
5 Wee Jehova-rĩ, wendani waku ũkinyĩte o igũrũ, naguo wĩhokeku waku ũgakinya o matu-inĩ.
O Yahweh! in the heavens, is thy lovingkindness, Thy faithfulness, as far as the fleecy clouds:
6 Ũthingu waku ũhaana ta irĩma iria nene, kĩhooto gĩaku gĩkarikĩra ta kũrĩa kũriku. Wee Jehova-rĩ, ũmenyagĩrĩra mũndũ o na nyamũ.
Thy righteousness, is like mighty mountains, and, thy just decrees, are a great resounding deep, —Man and beast, thou savest, O Yahweh!
7 Hĩ! Kaĩ wendo waku ũrĩa ũtathiraga nĩ wa goro mũno-ĩ! Andũ othe anene na anini moragĩra kĩĩgunyĩ-inĩ kĩa mathagu maku.
How precious thy lovingkindness, O God, —Therefore, the sons of men, under the shadow of thy wings, seek refuge:
8 Marĩĩaga makaigania kuumana na ũingĩ wa nyũmba yaku; ũmaheaga gĩa kũnyua kuuma rũũĩ-inĩ rwaku rwa gĩkeno.
They abundantly relish the fatness of thy house, —And out of the full stream of thine own pleasures, thou givest them to drink.
9 Nĩgũkorwo gĩthima kĩa muoyo kĩrĩ kũrĩ we; ũtheri-inĩ waku nĩho tuonaga ũtheri.
For, with thee, is the fountain of life, In thy light, we see light.
10 Kĩrĩrĩria kwenda arĩa makũũĩ, naguo ũthingu waku ũtũũre na arĩa arũngĩrĩru ngoro.
Prolong thy lovingkindness unto them who know thee, —and thy righteousness, to the upright in heart.
11 Ikinya rĩa ũrĩa mwĩtĩĩi rĩroaga kũnjũkĩrĩra, o na kana guoko kwa ũrĩa mwaganu kũnyingate.
Let not the foot of pride reach me, nor, the hand of the lawless, scare me away.
12 Ta rora wone ũrĩa andũ arĩa mekaga ũũru magwĩte thĩ; maikanĩtio thĩ, na matingĩhota gũũkĩra!
There did the workers of iniquity fall, —thrust down and not able to rise!
