Thaburi 43

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

Vindicate me, O God, and plead my cause, Against a nation, without lovingkindness, From the man of deceit and perversity, wilt thou deliver me?

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

For, thou, art my defending God—Wherefore hast thou rejected me? Wherefore in gloom should I wander, because of the oppression of an 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.

Send forth thy light and thy faithfulness, Let, them, lead me, Let them bring me into thy holy mountain, and into thy habitations:

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.

That I may go in unto the altar of God, Unto GOD, mine exultant joy, —That I may praise thee with the lyre, O God—mine own 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 shouldst thou be cast down, O my soul? And why shouldst thou moan over me, Wait thou for God, for yet shall I praise him, As the triumph of my presence, and my God.
