Thaburi 54

1 Thaburi ya Daudi Wee Ngai, honokia nĩ ũndũ wa rĩĩtwa rĩaku; ndĩhĩria na hinya waku.

Save me, O God, by your name, and judge me by your strength.

2 Wee Ngai, igua ihooya rĩakwa; thikĩrĩria ciugo cia kanua gakwa.

Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.

3 Andũ ageni nĩmanjũkĩrĩire; nao andũ matarĩ tha nĩmaracaria muoyo wakwa, o andũ acio matarũmbũyagia Ngai.

For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. (Selah)

4 Ti-itherũ Ngai nĩwe ũteithio wakwa; Mwathani nĩwe ũndiiragĩrĩra.

Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.

5 Cookereria andũ arĩa manjambagia ũũru wao; Wee maniine nĩ ũndũ wa wĩhokeku waku.

He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in your truth.

6 Nĩngũkũrutĩra igongona rĩa kwĩyendera; nĩngũgooca rĩĩtwa rĩaku, Wee Jehova, tondũ nĩ rĩega.

I will freely sacrifice unto you: I will praise your name, O LORD; for it is good.

7 Nĩgũkorwo nĩahonoketie mathĩĩna-inĩ makwa mothe, na maitho makwa nĩmeyoneire gũtoorio gwa thũ ciakwa.

For he has delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye has seen his desire upon mine enemies.
