Thaburi 71
1 Wee Jehova-rĩ, njũrĩire harĩwe; ndũkanakĩreke njonorithio.
In thee, O LORD! do I put my trust! Let me never be put to shame!
2 Ndeithũra na ũũhonokie nĩ ũndũ wa ũthingu waku; thikĩrĩria ũũhonokie.
In thy goodness deliver and rescue me; Incline thine ear to me, and save me!
3 Tuĩka rwaro rwakwa rwa ihiga rwa kũũrĩra, harĩa ingĩthiĩ hĩndĩ ciothe; athana honokio, nĩgũkorwo nĩwe rwaro rwakwa rwa ihiga na kĩirigo gĩakwa kĩa hinya.
Be thou the rock of my abode, where I may continually resort! Thou hast granted me deliverance; For thou art my rock and my fortress!
4 Honokia, Wee Ngai wakwa, kuuma guoko-inĩ kwa andũ arĩa aaganu, ũndeithũre kuuma ngumbaco ya andũ arĩa ooru na matarĩ tha.
Save me, O my God! from the hand of the wicked, -From the hand of the unjust and cruel!
5 Nĩgũkorwo ũkoretwo ũrĩ kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro gĩakwa, Wee Mwathani Jehova, ũtũũrĩte ũrĩ mwĩhoko wakwa kuuma ndĩ o mũnini.
For thou art my hope, O Lord Jehovah! Thou hast been my trust from my youth!
6 Kuuma gũciarwo gwakwa ndũũrĩte ngwĩhokete; nĩwe wandutire nda ya maitũ. Ngũtũũra ngũgoocaga.
Upon thee have I leaned from my birth; From my earliest breath thou hast been my support; My song hath been continually of thee!
7 Nĩnduĩkĩte ta kĩndũ gĩa kũgegania harĩ andũ aingĩ, no nĩwe rĩũrĩro rĩakwa rĩa hinya.
I am a wonder to many, But thou art my strong refuge.
8 Kanua gakwa kaiyũrĩte ũgooci waku, gatindaga gakĩgana riiri waku mũthenya wothe.
Let my mouth be filled with thy praise; Yea, all the day long, with thy glory.
9 Ndũkande hĩndĩ ya ũkũrũ; ndũkanandiganĩrie rĩrĩa itarĩ na hinya.
Cast me not off in mine old age; Forsake me not, When my strength faileth!
10 Nĩgũkorwo thũ ciakwa ciaragia ũhoro wa kũnjũkĩrĩra; acio metagĩrĩra kũnjũraga nĩmacokanĩtie ndundu.
For my enemies speak against me, And they who lay wait for my life consult together:
11 Moigaga atĩrĩ, “Ngai nĩamũtiganĩirie; hanyũkaniai nake mũmũnyiite, nĩgũkorwo ndarĩ mũndũ wa kũmũteithũra.”
“God,” say they, “hath forsaken him; Pursue and seize him; for he hath none to deliver him!”
12 Wee Ngai, tiga kũndaihĩrĩria; Wee Ngai wakwa, ũka narua ũndeithie.
O God! be not far from me! Come speedily to mine aid, O my God!
13 Acio maathitangaga-rĩ, maroconoka na maniinwo; acio mendaga kũnjĩka ũũru, maronyararwo na maconorwo.
Let them perish with shame who are my enemies; Let them be covered with contempt and dishonor who seek my hurt!
14 No niĩ-rĩ, ndĩrĩkoragwo na kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro hĩndĩ ciothe; ndĩrĩkĩragĩrĩria gũkũgooca mũno makĩria.
But I will hope continually; I shall yet praise thee more and more.
15 Kanua gakwa karĩganaga ũthingu waku, ndindage o ngĩgana ũhonokio waku mũthenya wothe, o na gũtuĩka ndiũĩ mũigana waguo.
My mouth shall speak of thy goodness, —Of thy sure protection all the day long; For thy mercies are more than I can number.
16 Wee Mwathani Jehova, ngũũka ngĩanagĩrĩra ciĩko ciaku cia hinya, nyanĩrĩre ũthingu waku, o ũthingu waku wiki.
I will celebrate thy mighty deeds, O Lord Jehovah! I will make mention of thy goodness, of thine only!
17 Kuuma ndĩ o mũnini, Wee Ngai, ũtũũrĩte ũndutaga, na nginyagia ũmũthĩ no nyumbũraga ciĩko ciaku cia magegania.
O God! thou hast taught me from my youth, And thus far have I declared thy wondrous deeds;
18 Wee Ngai, o na ndakũra ngĩe mbuĩ, ndũkanandiganĩrie, o nginya nyumbũre ũhoro wa ũhoti waku kũrĩ rũciaro rũrĩa rũrooka, na nyumbũre ũhoro wa hinya waku kũrĩ arĩa othe magooka thuutha.
And now, when I am old and gray-headed, O God! forsake me not, Until I make known thine arm to the next generation, -Thy mighty power to all that are to come!
19 Wee Ngai-rĩ, ũthingu waku ũkinyĩte o matu-inĩ, Wee wĩkĩte maũndũ manene. Wee Ngai-rĩ, nũũ ũngĩ ũhaana ta we?
For thy goodness, O God! reacheth to the heavens; Wonderful things doest thou! O God! who is like unto thee?
20 O na gũtuĩka nĩũtũmĩte nyone mathĩĩna maingĩ na marũrũ-rĩ, nĩũkariũkia muoyo wakwa rĩngĩ; nĩũkandiũkia rĩngĩ kuuma thĩ kũrĩa kũriku.
Thou hast suffered us to see great and grievous troubles; Thou wilt again give us life, And wilt bring us back from the depths of the earth!
21 Nĩũkongerera gĩtĩĩo gĩakwa, na ũũhoorerie o rĩngĩ.
Thou wilt increase my greatness; Thou wilt again comfort me!
22 Ndĩrĩkũgoocaga na kĩnanda kĩa mũgeeto nĩ ũndũ wa wĩhokeku waku, Wee Ngai wakwa; ndĩrĩinaga ngũgoocage na kĩnanda gĩa kĩnũbi, Wee Mũtheru wa Isiraeli.
Then will I praise thee with the psaltery; Even thy faithfulness, O my God! To thee will I sing with the harp, O Holy One of Israel!
23 Mĩromo yakwa nĩrĩanagĩrĩra nĩ gũkena rĩrĩa ngũina ngũgooce, o niĩ, ũrĩa Wee ũkũũrĩte.
My lips shall rejoice, when I sing to thee; And my soul, which thou hast redeemed from death;
24 Rũrĩmĩ rwakwa rũrĩrahaga ũhoro wa ciĩko ciaku cia ũthingu mũthenya wothe, nĩgũkorwo arĩa meendaga kũnjĩka ũũru nĩmaconorithĩtio na makarigiicwo.
My tongue also shall continually speak of thy righteousness: For all who seek my hurt are brought to shame and confounded.
