Thaburi 6
1 Thaburi ya Daudi Wee Jehova, ndũkandũithie ũrĩ na marakara, o na kana ũũherithie ũrĩ na mangʼũrĩ.
For the music director. To be accompanied by stringed instruments, according to the sheminith. A psalm of David. Lord, please don't condemn me because you're angry with me; please don't punish me because you're angry with me!
2 Jehova, njiguĩra tha, nĩgũkorwo nĩthirĩtwo nĩ hinya; Wee Jehova honia, nĩgũkorwo mahĩndĩ makwa marĩ na ruo rũnene.
Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am weak; heal me, Lord, for I am sick to the bone.
3 O nayo ngoro yakwa ĩrĩ na ruo rũnene. Nĩ nginya rĩ, Wee Jehova, nĩ nginya rĩ?
I'm shaking all over in fear. How long will it be, Lord, before you do something?
4 Wee Jehova, cooka, ũka ũũthare; honokia tondũ wa wendo waku ũrĩa ũtathiraga.
Turn, Lord, and rescue me! Save me because of your trustworthy love!
For no one remembers you when they're dead. Who is able to praise you from the grave? (Sheol h7585)
6 Niĩ ndĩ mũnogu mũno nĩ ũndũ wa gũcaaya; ũtukũ wothe njihũgagia ũrĩrĩ wakwa na kĩrĩro, na ngaconjoria gĩtĩ gĩakwa na maithori.
My groaning has exhausted me. Every night I soak my bed with my crying; I drench my couch with my tears.
7 Maitho makwa matirona wega nĩ ũndũ wa ihooru; nĩmaroora nĩ ũndũ wa thũ ciakwa ciothe.
With all my crying I can hardly see; my eyes grow weak because of the trouble my enemies cause me.
8 Njehererai inyuĩ arĩa othe mwĩkaga ũũru, nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩaiguĩte kĩrĩro gĩakwa.
Leave me alone, all you people who do evil, for the Lord has heard me crying!
9 Jehova nĩaiguĩte ngĩmũthaitha anjiguĩre tha; Jehova nĩetĩkĩrĩte ihooya rĩakwa.
The Lord has heard me calling out for help; the Lord answers my prayer.
10 Thũ ciakwa ciothe nĩigaconoka na imake; igaacooka na thuutha o rĩmwe iconokete.
All who hate me will be shamefully defeated and terrified; they will run away in disgrace.
