Thaburi 5

1 Thaburi ya Daudi Wee Jehova, igua ciugo ciakwa, na ũigue gũcaaya gwakwa.

For the music director. A psalm of David, to be accompanied by flutes. Lord, please listen to me. Don't ignore my groans of distress.

2 Thikĩrĩria ngĩgũkaĩra ũndeithie, Mũthamaki wakwa na Ngai wakwa, nĩgũkorwo nĩwe ndĩrahooya.

Hear me pleading for help, my King and my God, because I'm praying to you.

3 Wee Jehova-rĩ, o rũciinĩ ũrĩiguaga mũgambo wakwa; o kĩrooko ndĩrĩigaga mabataro makwa mbere yaku, na ngeterera macookio ndĩ na kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro.

Please listen to what I have to say in the morning, Lord. Every morning I put my requests to you and wait for your reply.

4 Nĩgũkorwo Wee ndũrĩ Mũrungu wa gũkenera ũũru; ningĩ andũ arĩa aaganu ndũngĩtũũrania nao.

For you are not a God who has any pleasure in wickedness; evil has no place with you.

5 Andũ arĩa etĩĩi matingĩrũgama mbere yaku; andũ arĩa othe mekaga maũndũ mooru nĩũmathũire.

The proud cannot come into your presence; you hate everyone who does evil.

6 Andũ arĩa maaragia maheeni nĩũmaniinaga; nao arĩa maitaga thakame na makaheenania, Jehova nĩamathũire.

You destroy those who tell lies. The Lord loathes bloodthirsty and deceptive people.

7 No niĩ-rĩ, nĩ ũndũ wa tha ciaku nyingĩ, nĩngũũka ndoonye nyũmba yaku; ndĩnyiihĩtie nyinamĩrĩre ndorete hekarũ-inĩ yaku theru.

But because of the greatness of your trustworthy love, I can come into your house; in awe of you I bow down towards your holy Temple.

8 Wee Jehova-rĩ, ndongoria na ũthingu waku; nĩ ũndũ wa thũ ciakwa-rĩ, rũngaria njĩra yaku mbere yakwa.

Lead me, Lord, you who always does what is right, save me from my enemies. Make your way clear to me.

9 Tũnua twacio tũtiaragia ũhoro ũngĩĩhokwo; ngoro ciacio ciyũrĩte mwanangĩko. Mĩmero yacio nĩ ta mbĩrĩra ngunũre; ciaragia maheeni na rũrĩmĩ rwacio.

Nothing they say can be trusted; their main desire is to destroy. Their throat is like an open grave; their tongues are full of flattery.

10 Wee Ngai, matue nĩmahĩtĩtie! Reke magũithio nĩ mĩbango ĩyo yao ya ungumania. Maingate nĩ ũndũ wa mehia mao maingĩ, nĩgũkorwo nĩmakũremeire.

God, condemn them as guilty! Make them fall because of their evil plans. Throw them out because of all their sins, for they have rebelled against you.

11 No rĩrĩ, reke arĩa moragĩra harĩwe makene; nĩmarekwo mainage hĩndĩ ciothe nĩ gũkena. Tambũrũkia ũgitĩri waku igũrũ rĩao, nĩguo arĩa mendete rĩĩtwa rĩaku magũkenagĩre.

But may all those who trust in you be happy—may they sing for joy forever. May you spread your protection over them so that everyone who loves your character may celebrate.

12 Nĩ ũndũ ti-itherũ Wee Jehova nĩũrathimaga andũ arĩa athingu; ũtũũraga ũmairigĩire na wega waku taarĩ ngo.

For you, Lord, bless those who live right; you protect them with your shield of love.
