Thaburi 54

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

God, by your power [MTY, DOU] save me [from my enemies], and show people that I have not done anything that is wrong!

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

God, listen to my prayer; listen to what I say to you,

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

because strangers are [trying to] attack me; proud men are wanting to kill me; men who do not have any (respect for/interest in) you.

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

But God is the one who helps me; Yahweh defends/protects me [from my enemies].

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

He will cause the evil things that they want to do to me to happen to them instead; because he faithfully [does what he promises], he will get rid of them.

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

Yahweh, I will gladly give an offering to you because I want to, and I will thank you [MTY], for you are good [to me];

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

you have rescued me from all my troubles, and I have seen that you have defeated my enemies.
