Thaburi 57
1 Thaburi ya Daudi Wee Ngai, njiguĩra tha, ũnjiguĩre tha, nĩgũkorwo nĩ harĩwe njũragĩra. Niĩ ngũũrĩra kĩĩruru-inĩ kĩa mathagu maku, o nginya mwanangĩko ũhĩtũke.
Be merciful unto me, O Elohim, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast.
2 Ngũkaĩra Ngai-Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno, o kũrĩ Mũrungu, ũrĩa ũũhingagĩria maũndũ.
I will cry unto Elohim most high; unto El that performeth all things for me.
3 Atũmaga ũteithio kuuma igũrũ akaahonokia, akarũithia arĩa maahanyũkagia mũno; Ngai agakĩndũmĩra wendani na wĩhokeku wake.
He shall send from heaven, and save from the reproach of him that would swallow me up. (Selah) Elohim shall send forth his mercy and his truth.
4 Niĩ ndĩ gatagatĩ-inĩ ka mĩrũũthi; ngomete gatagatĩ ka nyamũ ndĩĩani, na nĩo andũ arĩa magego mao mahaana ta matimũ na mĩguĩ, o acio nĩmĩ ciao ihaana ta hiũ cia njora njũgĩ.
My soul is among lions: and I lie even among them that are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
5 Wee Ngai, tũũgĩra, ũtũũgĩrio igũrũ rĩa igũrũ; riiri waku nĩũgĩe igũrũ rĩa thĩ yothe.
Be thou exalted, O Elohim, above the heavens; let thy glory be above all the earth.
6 Thũ ciakwa nĩciambĩire magũrũ makwa mũtego wa wabu, na niĩ ngĩĩthikĩra nĩ kũnyamarĩka. Cienjete irima njĩra-inĩ yakwa, no nĩcio igũĩte thĩinĩ warĩo.
They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down: they have digged a pit before me, into the midst whereof they are fallen themselves. (Selah)
7 Wee Ngai, ngoro yakwa nĩĩkindĩirie, ngoro yakwa no ĩkindĩirie; nĩkũina ngũina, ngũgooce na rwĩmbo.
My heart is fixed, O Elohim, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise.
8 Wee muoyo wakwa arahũka! Arahũka wee kĩnanda kĩa mũgeeto, o nawe kĩnanda gĩa kĩnũbi! Ngwarahũka ruoro rũgĩtema.
Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.
9 Wee Mwathani, nĩngũkũgooca, gatagatĩ-inĩ ka ndũrĩrĩ; nĩngũkũinĩra ngũgooce ndĩ gatagatĩ-inĩ ka andũ.
I will praise thee, O YHWH, among the people: I will sing unto thee among the nations.
10 Nĩgũkorwo wendo waku nĩ mũnene, ũgagĩkinya o igũrũ; wĩhokeku waku ũkinyĩte o matu-inĩ.
For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds.
11 Wee Ngai, tũũgĩra, ũtũũgĩrio igũrũ rĩa igũrũ; riiri waku nĩũgĩe igũrũ rĩa thĩ yothe.
Be thou exalted, O Elohim, above the heavens: let thy glory be above all the earth.
