Thaburi 44
1 Twanaigua na matũ maitũ Wee Ngai, tũkĩĩrwo nĩ maithe maitũ ũrĩa wekire matukũ-inĩ mao, o matukũ macio ma tene.
To the choirmaster of [the] sons of Korah a poem. O God - with ears our we have heard ancestors our they have recounted to us [the] deed[s] [which] you did in days their in days of antiquity.
2 Nĩwaingatire ndũrĩrĩ na guoko gwaku, na ũgĩcooka kũhaanda maithe maitũ kuo; Wee nĩwanyariirire irĩndĩ iria ingĩ, na ũgĩtũma maithe maitũ magaacĩre.
You - hand your nations you dispossessed and you planted them you did harm to peoples and you set free them.
3 Matiegwatĩire bũrũri ũcio na hinya wa rũhiũ rwao, o na ti icoka ciao ciamaheire ũhootani; no nĩ guoko gwaku kwa ũrĩo, ĩĩ nĩ gĩcoka gĩaku, na ũtheri wa gĩthiithi gĩaku, nĩgũkorwo nĩwamendete.
For not by sword their they took possession of [the] land and arm their not it saved them for right [hand] your and arm your and [the] light of face your for you took pleasure in them.
4 Wee nĩwe Mũthamaki wakwa na Ngai wakwa, ũrĩa wathagĩrĩra Jakubu ũhootani.
You he [are] king my O God ordain [the] victories of Jacob.
5 Wee nĩwe ũtũhotithagia kũhoota thũ ciitũ; nĩ ũndũ wa rĩĩtwa rĩaku tũrangagĩrĩria arĩa marĩ muku na ithuĩ.
By you opponents our we gore in name your we tread down [those who] rise up against us.
6 Ndiĩhokaga ũta wakwa, rũhiũ rwakwa rwa njora ti ruo rũngĩĩhootanĩra;
For not in bow my I trust and sword my not it saves me.
7 no Wee nĩwe ũtũtooranagĩria harĩ thũ ciitũ, ũgagĩconorithia acio matũthũire.
For you have saved us from foes our and [those who] hate us you have put to shame.
8 Ngai nĩwe tũtindaga tũkĩĩrahĩra mũthenya wothe, na tũgũtũũra tũgoocaga rĩĩtwa rĩaku nginya tene.
In God we have boasted all the day and name your - for ever we will praise (Selah)
9 No rĩu nĩũtũtiganĩirie na ũgatũconorithia; nĩũtigĩte gũtwaranaga na mbũtũ ciitũ cia ita.
Also you have rejected and you have humiliated us and not you have gone out with armies our.
10 Nĩwatũmire tũũrĩre thũ ciitũ, o icio itũthũire igetahĩra indo ciitũ.
You have made turn back us backwards from [the] opponent and [those who] hate us they have plundered for themselves.
11 Ũtũrekereirie tũtambuurwo ta ngʼondu, na ũgatũhurunja harĩ ndũrĩrĩ.
You have made us like sheep of food and among the nations you have scattered us.
12 Wendetie andũ aku ta kĩndũ tũhũ, ndũrĩ uumithio wonete nĩ ũguo ũmendetie.
You have sold people your for not wealth and not you have made great by price their.
13 Nĩũtũmĩte tũmenwo nĩ andũ arĩa tũhakanĩte nao, tũgatuĩka a kũnyararwo na gũthekererwo nĩ arĩa matũthiũrũrũkĩirie.
You have made us a reproach to neighbors our mockery and derision to [those] around us.
14 Nĩũtũmĩte tũtuĩke a kuunagwo thimo nĩ ndũrĩrĩ; tũgagĩtuĩka a kũinainagĩrio mĩtwe nĩ andũ.
You have made us a byword among the nations a shaking of head not peoples.
15 Ndindaga njonokete mũthenya wothe, ngahumbwo nĩ thoni ũthiũ wothe,
All the day ignominy my [is] before me and [the] shame of face my it has covered me.
16 nĩ ũndũ wa inyũrũri cia andũ arĩa maanyũrũragia na makaanuma, tondũ wa thũ ĩrĩa ĩrenda kwĩrĩhĩria.
From [the] sound of [one who] taunts and [one who] reviles because of an enemy and an avenger.
17 Twakorirwo nĩ maũndũ macio mothe, o na gũtuĩka tũtiariganĩirwo nĩwe, o na kana tũgĩthaahia kĩrĩkanĩro gĩaku.
All this it has come to us and not we had forgotten you and not we had dealt falsely with covenant your.
18 Ngoro ciitũ iticookete na thuutha; makinya maitũ matiumĩte njĩra-inĩ yaku.
Not it had turned back backwards heart our and it had turned aside steps our from path your.
19 No ũtũhehenjete, na ũgatũtua imamo cia mbwe, na ũgatũhumbĩra na nduma nene.
For you have crushed us in a place of jackals and you have covered over us with deep darkness.
20 Tũngĩkorwo nĩtwariganĩirwo nĩ rĩĩtwa rĩa Ngai witũ, o na kana tũkĩambararia moko kũrĩ ngai ngʼeni-rĩ,
If we had forgotten [the] name of God our and we had spread out hands our to a god strange.
21 githĩ Ngai ndangĩamenyire ũhoro ũcio, kuona atĩ nĩamenyaga hitho cia ngoro?
¿ Not God will he search out this for he [is] knowing [the] secrets of [the] heart.
22 No nĩ ũndũ waku tũtindaga tũngʼetheire gĩkuũ mũthenya wothe; tũtuĩtwo ta ngʼondu cia gũthĩnjwo.
For on you we have been killed all the day we have been regarded like sheep of slaughter.
23 Wee Mwathani, arahũka! Ũgĩkomete nĩkĩ? Wĩyarahũre! Ndũgatũtiganĩrie nginya tene.
Awake! - why? do you sleep - O Lord awake! may not you reject [us] to perpetuity.
24 Ũhithĩte ũthiũ waku nĩkĩ, na ũkariganĩrwo nĩ mathĩĩna maitũ na kũhinyĩrĩrio gwitũ?
Why? face your do you hide do you forget? affliction our and oppression our.
25 Tũrũndĩtwo rũkũngũ-inĩ; mĩĩrĩ iitũ ĩkĩnyiitanĩte na thĩ.
For it has sunk down to the dust self our it has clung to the earth belly our.
26 Arahũka ũtũteithie; tũkũũre tondũ wa wendani waku ũtathiraga.
Arise! a help of us and redeem us for [the] sake of covenant loyalty your.
