Thaburi 43

1 Nduĩra ciira wakwa, Wee Ngai, na ũnjiirĩrĩre harĩ rũrĩrĩ rũrũ rũtagwĩtĩkĩtie; ndeithũra kuuma kũrĩ andũ aya aaganu na maaragia maheeni.

Judge me, O God! and defend my cause against a merciless nation! Deliver me from unjust and deceitful men!

2 Wee Ngai nĩwe kĩirigo gĩakwa kĩa hinya. Ũndiganĩirie nĩkĩ? Ingĩthiĩ ngĩcakayaga nĩkĩ nĩ ũndũ wa kũhinyĩrĩirio nĩ thũ?

Thou art the God of my refuge: why dost thou cast me off? Why go I mourning on account of the oppression of the enemy?

3 Tũma ũtheri waku na ũhoro waku wa ma, ũreke indongorie arĩ cio; reke inginyie kĩrĩma-inĩ gĩaku kĩrĩa kĩamũre, o kũu gĩikaro-inĩ gĩaku.

O send forth thy light and thy truth; let them guide me; Let them lead me to thy holy mountain, and to thy dwelling-place!

4 Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩngathiĩ kĩgongona-inĩ kĩa Ngai, nginye harĩ Mũrungu, o we gĩkeno gĩakwa, na o we ngenagĩra. Nĩndĩrĩkũgoocaga ngĩhũũraga kĩnanda kĩa mũgeeto, Wee Ngai, o Wee Ngai wakwa.

Then will I go to the altar of God, To the God of my joy and exultation; Yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God, my God!

5 Wee ngoro yakwa, ũkĩritũhĩirwo nĩkĩ? Ũrathĩĩnĩka ũguo nĩkĩ ũrĩ thĩinĩ wakwa? Wĩrĩgagĩrĩre o Ngai, nĩgũkorwo no ndĩrĩmũgoocaga, o we Mũhonokia wakwa na Ngai wakwa.

Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And why art thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in God; for I shall yet praise him, Him, my deliverer and my God!
