Thaburi 4
1 Thaburi ya Daudi Njĩtĩka rĩrĩa ndagũkaĩra, Wee Ngai wakwa, o Wee mũthingu. Ũndeithagie rĩrĩa ndĩ mĩnyamaro-inĩ; njiguĩra tha na ũigue mahooya makwa.
For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Psalm of David. Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness! You have relieved my distress; show me grace and hear my prayer.
2 Inyuĩ, andũ aya, nĩ nginya rĩ mũgũtũũra mũtũmaga riiri wakwa ũnyararwo? Nĩ nginya rĩ mũgũtũũra mwendete maũndũ ma tũhũ, na mũkarongoragia ngai cia maheeni?
How long, O men, will my honor be maligned? How long will you love vanity and seek after lies?
3 Menyai atĩ Jehova nĩeyamũrĩire arĩa mamwendete; Jehova nĩarĩiguaga rĩrĩa ndamũkaĩra.
Know that the LORD has set apart the godly for Himself; the LORD hears when I call to Him.
4 Mũngĩrakara mũtikehie; rĩrĩa mũrĩ marĩrĩ-inĩ manyu-rĩ, thuthuuragiai ngoro cianyu mwĩkirĩire.
Be angry, yet do not sin; on your bed, search your heart and be still.
5 Rutagai magongona marĩa magĩrĩire, na mwĩhokage Jehova.
Offer the sacrifices of the righteous and trust in the LORD.
6 Kũrĩ andũ aingĩ maroria atĩrĩ, “Nũũ ũngĩtuonia maũndũ mega?” Wee Jehova reke ũtheri wa gĩthiithi gĩaku ũtwarĩre.
Many ask, “Who can show us the good?” Shine the light of Your face upon us, O LORD.
7 Wee nĩũnjiyũrĩtie gĩkeno kĩnene ngoro-inĩ yakwa, gũkĩra kĩrĩa makoragwo nakĩo hĩndĩ ya bũthi wa ngano na ndibei ya mũhihano.
You have filled my heart with more joy than when grain and new wine abound.
8 Niĩ ndĩrĩkomaga na nyonage toro ndĩ na thayũ, nĩgũkorwo Wee Jehova nĩwe ũikaraga ũũmenyereire wega.
I will lie down and sleep in peace, for You alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.
