Thaburi 84
1 Thaburi ya Ariũ a Kora Wee Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe-rĩ, kaĩ gĩikaro gĩaku nĩ gĩthaka-ĩ!
Unto the end. For the wine and oil presses. A Psalm to the sons of Korah. How beloved are your tabernacles, O Lord of hosts!
2 Muoyo wakwa wĩriragĩria mũno, ĩĩ o na ũkoorwo nĩ hinya, nĩ ũndũ wa kwĩrirĩria nja cia Jehova; ngoro yakwa na mwĩrĩ wakwa irakaĩra Mũrungu ũrĩa ũtũũraga muoyo.
My soul longs and faints for the courts of the Lord. My heart and my flesh have exulted in the living God.
3 O na kanyoni-ka-nja nĩkoonete mũciĩ, nayo thũngũrũrũ ĩkeyonera gĩtara, harĩa ĩngĩikaria tũcui twayo, o hau hakuhĩ na kĩgongona gĩaku, Wee Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, o Wee Mũthamaki wakwa na Ngai wakwa.
For even the sparrow has found a home for himself, and the turtle-dove a nest for herself, where she may lay her young: your altars, O Lord of hosts, my king and my God.
4 Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ andũ arĩa matũũraga nyũmba yaku; matũũraga makũgoocaga.
Blessed are those who dwell in your house, O Lord. They will praise you from age to age.
5 Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ andũ arĩa maheagwo hinya nĩwe, o arĩa matuĩte na ngoro ciao gũthiĩ Zayuni.
Blessed is the man whose help is from you. In his heart, he is disposed to ascend
6 Rĩrĩa megũtuĩkanĩria Gĩtuamba kĩa Baka, matũmaga kũgĩe na ithima; mbura ya maguna-ngʼombe o nayo ĩkũhumbĩraga na tũria twa maaĩ.
from the valley of tears, from the place which he has determined.
7 Mathiiaga magĩkĩragĩrĩria kũgĩa na hinya, nginya o mũndũ o mũndũ agakinya mbere ya Ngai kũu Zayuni.
For even the lawgiver will provide a blessing; they will go from virtue to virtue. The God of gods will be seen in Zion.
8 Igua ihooya rĩakwa, Wee Jehova Ngai-Mwene-Hinya-Wothe; thikĩrĩria, Wee Ngai wa Jakubu.
O Lord, God of hosts, hear my prayer. Pay attention, O God of Jacob.
9 Wee Ngai, ta rora ngo iitũ; tiirĩra ũrĩa waku ũitĩrĩirie maguta gĩthiithi.
O God, gaze upon our protector, and look upon the face of your Christ.
10 Kaba mũthenya ũmwe nja-inĩ ciaku, gũkĩra gũikara mĩthenya ngiri handũ hangĩ o hothe; kaba ngorwo ndĩ mũrangĩri wa kĩhingo kĩa nyũmba ya Ngai wakwa, gũkĩra ndũũre thĩinĩ wa hema cia andũ arĩa aaganu.
For one day in your courts is better than thousands elsewhere. I have chosen to be lowly in the house of my God, rather than to dwell in the tabernacles of sinners.
11 Nĩgũkorwo Jehova Ngai nĩ riũa na ngo; Jehova nĩarĩtũtugaga na agatwĩka maũndũ mega; arĩa mĩthiĩre yao ĩtarĩ ũcuuke ndarĩ ũndũ mwega angĩmaima.
For God loves mercy and truth. The Lord will give grace and glory.
12 Wee Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, kũrathimwo nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa ũkwĩhokaga.
He will not withhold good things from those who walk in innocence. O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man who hopes in you.
