< Thaburi 41 >

1 Thaburi ya Daudi Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa ũrũmbũyagia andũ arĩa matarĩ hinya; ũcio-rĩ, Jehova nĩamũhatũraga hĩndĩ ya mathĩĩna.
For the Leader. A Psalm of David. Happy is he that considereth the poor; the LORD will deliver him in the day of evil.
2 Jehova nĩarĩmũgitagĩra na amũtũũragie muoyo; nĩarĩmũrathimaga bũrũri-inĩ, na ndakamũrekereria kũrĩ merirĩria ma thũ ciake.
The LORD preserve him, and keep him alive, let him be called happy in the land; and deliver not Thou him unto the greed of his enemies.
3 Jehova nĩarĩmũmenyagĩrĩra arĩ ũrĩrĩ-inĩ arĩ mũrũaru, na acooke amũhonie arĩ o hau ũrĩrĩ-inĩ wake.
The LORD support him upon the bed of illness; mayest Thou turn all his lying down in his sickness.
4 Ndoigire atĩrĩ, “Wee Jehova, njiguĩra tha; honia, nĩgũkorwo Wee nĩwe njĩhĩirie.”
As for me, I said: 'O LORD, be gracious unto me; heal my soul; for I have sinned against Thee.'
5 Thũ ciakwa ciaragia ũhoro wakwa na rũmena ikooria atĩrĩ, “Agakua rĩ, rĩĩtwa rĩake rĩthire?”
Mine enemies speak evil of me: 'When shall he die, and his name perish?'
6 Rĩrĩa rĩothe mũndũ ooka kũnyona, aaheaga ũhoro wa maheeni, o rĩrĩa ngoro yake ĩrahũnga ndeto cia kũnjambia; agacooka agathiĩ gũcimemeerekia kũndũ guothe.
And if one come to see me, he speaketh falsehood; his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; when he goeth abroad, he speaketh of it.
7 Thũ ciakwa ciothe iheehanagĩra nĩguo iinjũkĩrĩre; injiiragĩrĩra maũndũ mooru mũno, ikoiga atĩrĩ,
All that hate me whisper together against me, against me do they devise my hurt:
8 “Mũrimũ mũũru nĩũmũnyiitĩte; ndarĩ hĩndĩ agokĩra hau akomete.”
'An evil thing cleaveth fast unto him; and now that he lieth, he shall rise up no more.'
9 O na mũrata wakwa wa hakuhĩ, ũrĩa ndĩrehokete, o ũrĩa tũrĩĩanagĩra irio nake nĩangarũrũkĩte.
Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.
10 No rĩrĩ, Wee Jehova, njiguĩra tha; njarahũra, nĩguo ndĩĩrĩhĩrie harĩo.
But Thou, O LORD, be gracious unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.
11 Nĩnjũũĩ atĩ nĩũkenetio nĩ niĩ, nĩgũkorwo thũ yakwa ndĩndooretie.
By this I know that Thou delightest in me, that mine enemy doth not triumph over me.
12 We nĩũũnyiitĩrĩire nĩ ũndũ wa wagĩrĩru wakwa, na ũkanjiga harĩwe nginya tene.
And as for me, Thou upholdest me because of mine integrity, and settest me before Thy face for ever.
13 Jehova, o we Ngai wa Isiraeli, arogoocwo, kuuma tene wa tene nginya tene na tene. Ameni, na ningĩ Ameni.
Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.
