Unto the end, for them that shall he changed, a testimony for Asaph, a psalm. Give ear, O thou that rulest Israel: thou that leadest Joseph like a sheep. Thou that sittest upon the cherubims, shine forth
2 ũrĩ mbere ya Efiraimu, na Benjamini, na Manase. Arahũra ũhoti waku, ũũke ũtũhonokie.
Before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasses. Stir up thy might, and come to save us.
3 Wee Ngai-rĩ, tũma tũgaacĩre rĩngĩ; tũma ũthiũ waku ũtwarĩre, nĩguo tũhonoke.
Convert us, O God: and shew us thy face, and we shall be saved.
4 Wee Jehova Ngai mwene hinya wothe, marakara maku megũtooga nginya rĩ ũgĩũkĩrĩra mahooya ma andũ aku?
O Lord God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy servant?
5 Nĩũmahũũnĩtie na irio cia maithori; ũtũmĩte manyue maithori maiyũrĩte mbakũri riita.
How long wilt thou feed us with the bread of tears: and give us for our drink tears in measure?
6 Ũtũtuĩte kĩndũ gĩa kũrũagĩrwo nĩ arĩa tũriganĩtie nao, nacio thũ ciitũ igatũnyũrũria.
Thou hast made us to be a contradiction to our neighbours: and our enemies have scoffed at us.

O God of hosts, convert us: and shew thy face, and we shall be saved.
8 Wareehire mũthabibũ kuuma bũrũri wa Misiri; warutũrũrire ndũrĩrĩ ũkĩũhaanda arĩ guo.
Thou hast brought a vineyard out of Egypt: thou hast cast cut the Gentiles and planted it.
9 Nĩwaũthereirie mũgũnda, naguo ũkĩgwata, na ũkĩiyũra bũrũri wothe.
Thou wast the guide of its journey in its sight: thou plantedst the roots thereof, and it filled the land.
10 Irĩma nĩciahumbĩrirwo nĩ kĩĩruru kĩaguo, nayo mĩtarakwa ĩrĩa mĩnene ĩkĩhumbĩrwo nĩ honge ciaguo.
The shadow of it covered the hills: and the branches thereof the cedars of God.
11 Watambũrũkirie honge ciaguo o nginya Iria-inĩ rĩrĩa Inene, na thuuna ciaguo ũgĩcikinyia o nginya Rũũĩ-inĩ rwa Farati.
It stretched forth its branches unto the sea, and its boughs unto the river.
12 Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmĩte ũmomore njirigo ciaguo, ũgagĩtũma ehĩtũkĩri othe matuage thabibũ ciaguo?
Why hast thou broken down the hedge thereof, so that all they who pass by the way do pluck it?
13 Ũrangarangagwo nĩ ngũrwe cia gĩthaka, na ũkarĩĩo nĩ nyamũ cia werũ-inĩ.
The boar out of the wood hath laid it waste: and a singular wild beast hath devoured it.
14 Wee Ngai Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, tũcookerere! Rora ũrĩ igũrũ wone! Rũmbũiya mũthabibũ ũyũ,
Turn again, O God of hosts, look down from heaven, and see, and visit this vineyard:
15 mũri ũrĩa guoko gwaku kwa ũrĩo kwahaandire, mũriũ ũrĩa wee mwene wĩrereire.
And perfect the same which thy right hand hath planted: and upon the son of man whom thou hast confirmed for thyself.
16 Mũthabibũ waku nĩũtemetwo, ũgacinwo na mwaki; thũ ciaku irothira nĩ ũndũ wa irũithia rĩaku.
Things set on fire and dug down shall perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.
17 Guoko gwaku kũroikara na mũndũ ũrĩa ũrĩ guoko-inĩ gwaku kwa ũrĩo, ũcio mũrũ wa mũndũ wĩrereire wee mwene.
Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand: and upon the son of man whom thou hast confirmed for thyself.
18 No ithuĩ-rĩ, tũtigatigana nawe o rĩ; tũrurumũkie na nĩtũrĩkayagĩra rĩĩtwa rĩaku.
And we depart not from thee, thou shalt quicken us: and we will call upon thy name.
19 Wee Jehova Ngai Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, tũma tũgaacĩre rĩngĩ; tũma ũthiũ waku ũtwarĩre, nĩguo tũhonoke.
O Lord God of hosts, convert us: and shew thy face, and we shall be saved.
