For the chief musician, set to the Shoshannim Eduth style. A psalm of Asaph. Pay attention, Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock; you who sit above the cherubim, shine on us!
2 ũrĩ mbere ya Efiraimu, na Benjamini, na Manase. Arahũra ũhoti waku, ũũke ũtũhonokie.
In the sight of Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up your power; come and save us.
3 Wee Ngai-rĩ, tũma tũgaacĩre rĩngĩ; tũma ũthiũ waku ũtwarĩre, nĩguo tũhonoke.
God, restore us; make your face shine on us, and we will be saved.
4 Wee Jehova Ngai mwene hinya wothe, marakara maku megũtooga nginya rĩ ũgĩũkĩrĩra mahooya ma andũ aku?
Yahweh God of hosts, how long will you be angry at your people when they pray?
5 Nĩũmahũũnĩtie na irio cia maithori; ũtũmĩte manyue maithori maiyũrĩte mbakũri riita.
You have fed them with the bread of tears and given them tears to drink in great quantities.
6 Ũtũtuĩte kĩndũ gĩa kũrũagĩrwo nĩ arĩa tũriganĩtie nao, nacio thũ ciitũ igatũnyũrũria.
You make us something for our neighbors to argue over, and our enemies laugh about us among themselves.
7 Wee Ngai-Mwene-Hinya-Wothe-rĩ, tũma tũgaacĩre rĩngĩ; tũma ũthiũ waku ũtwarĩre, nĩguo tũhonoke.
God of hosts, restore us; make your face shine on us, and we will be saved.
8 Wareehire mũthabibũ kuuma bũrũri wa Misiri; warutũrũrire ndũrĩrĩ ũkĩũhaanda arĩ guo.
You brought a vine out of Egypt; you drove out nations and transplanted it.
9 Nĩwaũthereirie mũgũnda, naguo ũkĩgwata, na ũkĩiyũra bũrũri wothe.
You cleared the land for it; it took root and filled the land.
10 Irĩma nĩciahumbĩrirwo nĩ kĩĩruru kĩaguo, nayo mĩtarakwa ĩrĩa mĩnene ĩkĩhumbĩrwo nĩ honge ciaguo.
The mountains were covered with its shade, the cedars of God by its branches.
11 Watambũrũkirie honge ciaguo o nginya Iria-inĩ rĩrĩa Inene, na thuuna ciaguo ũgĩcikinyia o nginya Rũũĩ-inĩ rwa Farati.
It sent out its branches as far as the sea and its shoots to the Euphrates River.
12 Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmĩte ũmomore njirigo ciaguo, ũgagĩtũma ehĩtũkĩri othe matuage thabibũ ciaguo?
Why have you broken down its walls so that all who pass by along the road pluck its fruit?
13 Ũrangarangagwo nĩ ngũrwe cia gĩthaka, na ũkarĩĩo nĩ nyamũ cia werũ-inĩ.
The boars out of the forest ruin it, and the beasts of the field feed on it.
14 Wee Ngai Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, tũcookerere! Rora ũrĩ igũrũ wone! Rũmbũiya mũthabibũ ũyũ,
Turn back, God of hosts; look down from heaven and take notice and take care of this vine.
15 mũri ũrĩa guoko gwaku kwa ũrĩo kwahaandire, mũriũ ũrĩa wee mwene wĩrereire.
This is the root that your right hand planted, the shoot that you made to grow.
16 Mũthabibũ waku nĩũtemetwo, ũgacinwo na mwaki; thũ ciaku irothira nĩ ũndũ wa irũithia rĩaku.
It has been burned and cut down; they perish because of your rebuke.
17 Guoko gwaku kũroikara na mũndũ ũrĩa ũrĩ guoko-inĩ gwaku kwa ũrĩo, ũcio mũrũ wa mũndũ wĩrereire wee mwene.
May your hand be on the man of your right hand, on the son of man whom you made strong for yourself.
18 No ithuĩ-rĩ, tũtigatigana nawe o rĩ; tũrurumũkie na nĩtũrĩkayagĩra rĩĩtwa rĩaku.
Then we will not turn away from you; revive us, and we will call on your name.
19 Wee Jehova Ngai Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, tũma tũgaacĩre rĩngĩ; tũma ũthiũ waku ũtwarĩre, nĩguo tũhonoke.
Yahweh God of hosts, restore us; make your face shine on us, and we will be saved.
