1 Thaburi ya Solomoni Wee Ngai, he mũthamaki ũhoti wa gũtuuanagĩra ciira na kĩhooto, na mũrũ wa mũthamaki ũkĩmũhe ũthingu waku.
A Psalm for Solomon. Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness to the king’s son.
2 Nake nĩarĩciiragĩra andũ aku na ũthingu, andũ aku arĩa anyamaarĩku amatuagĩre ciira na kĩhooto.
He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment.
3 Irĩma igaatũmaga andũ magaacĩre, natuo tũrĩma tũciarage matunda ma ũthingu.
The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness.
4 Nĩarĩgitagĩra andũ arĩa anyamaarĩku gatagatĩ ka andũ, na ahonokie ciana cia arĩa abatari; nĩakahehenja arĩa mamahinyagĩrĩria.
He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor.
5 Mũthamaki arotũũra hĩndĩ ĩrĩa yothe riũa rĩgũtũũra, na rĩrĩa rĩothe mweri ũgũtũũra nginya njiarwa na njiarwa.
They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations.
6 Arĩhaanaga ta mbura ĩkiurĩra mũgũnda mũtũgũte, ahaane ta rũthuthuũ ũrĩa rũihũgagia thĩ.
He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers that water the earth.
7 Matukũ-inĩ make andũ arĩa athingu nĩmagatheerema; naguo ũgaacĩru ũingĩhe o nginya rĩrĩa mweri ũgaakorwo ũtarĩ ho.
In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth.
8 Agaathanaga kuuma iria rĩmwe nginya rĩrĩa rĩngĩ, na kuuma Rũũĩ rwa Farati o nginya ituri cia thĩ.
He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river to the ends of the earth.
9 Ndũrĩrĩ cia werũ-inĩ nĩikainamĩrĩra mbere yake, nacio thũ ciake icũne rũkũngũ.
They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; and his enemies shall lick the dust.
10 Athamaki a Tarishishi na a mabũrũri marĩa marĩ hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia kũraya nĩmakamũrehagĩra igooti; nao athamaki a Sheba na Seba nĩmakamũrehagĩra iheo.
The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
11 Athamaki othe makaamũinamĩrĩra, nacio ndũrĩrĩ ciothe imũtungatagĩre.
Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve him.
12 Nĩgũkorwo nĩakahonokia abatari maamũkaĩra, o na arĩa anyamaarie matarĩ na wa kũmateithia.
For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper.
13 Nĩakaiguagĩra tha arĩa matarĩ hinya na arĩa abatari, na ahonokie arĩa athĩĩni kuuma kũrĩ gĩkuũ.
He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy.
14 Nĩakamateithũra kuuma kũrĩ arĩa mamahinyagĩrĩria na kuuma haaro-inĩ, nĩgũkorwo thakame yao ĩrĩ bata mũno maitho-inĩ make.
He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall be their blood in his sight.
15 Arogĩtũũra hĩndĩ ndaaya! Aroheagwo thahabu ya kuuma Sheba. Arotũũra ahooyagĩrwo nĩ andũ hĩndĩ ciothe, na mamũrathimage mũthenya wothe.
And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: prayer also shall be made for him continually; and daily shall he be praised.
16 Bũrũri ũrogĩa na bũthi wa ngano kũndũ guothe; ĩrorirũkĩra tũrĩma-igũrũ. Maciaro makuo marothegea ta ma Lebanoni; nakuo matũũra-inĩ andũ marotheerema ta nyeki ya gĩthaka.
There shall be an handful of grain in the earth upon the top of the mountains; its fruit shall shake like Lebanon: and they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.
17 Rĩĩtwa rĩake rĩrotũũra nginya tene; rĩrotũũra o ta ũrĩa riũa rĩgũtũũra. Ndũrĩrĩ ciothe nĩikarathimwo nĩ ũndũ wake, nacio imwĩtage mũndũ mũrathime.
His name shall endure for ever: his name shall be continued as long as the sun: and men shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him blessed.
18 Goocai Jehova Ngai, o we Ngai wa Isiraeli, o we wiki wĩkaga maũndũ ma magegania.
Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things.
19 Rĩĩtwa rĩake rĩu rĩrĩ riiri rĩrogoocagwo nginya tene; nayo thĩ yothe ĩroiyũrwo nĩ riiri wake.
And blessed be his glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled with his glory; Amen, and Amen.
20 Ũcio nĩguo mũthia wa mahooya ma Daudi, mũrũ wa Jesii.
The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
