< Thaburi 85 >
1 Thaburi ya Ariũ a Kora Wee Jehova, nĩ wekire bũrũri waku wega; nĩwacookeirie Jakubu ũtonga wake.
“For the leader of the music. A psalm of the sons of Korah.” O LORD! thou hast been favorable to thy land; Thou hast brought back the captives of Jacob;
2 Nĩwarekeire andũ aku waganu wao, na ũkĩhumbĩra mehia mao mothe.
Thou didst forgive the iniquity of thy people, And cover all their sins! (Pause)
3 Nĩweheririe mangʼũrĩ maku mothe, na ũgĩthirwo nĩ marakara maku mahiũ.
Thou didst take away all thy displeasure, And abate the fierceness of thy wrath.
4 Tũma tũgaacĩre rĩngĩ, Wee Ngai Mũhonokia witũ, na ũtige gũikara ũtũrakarĩire.
Restore us, O God of our salvation! And let thine anger towards us cease!
5 Ũgũtũũra ũtũrakarĩire nginya tene? Marakara maku megũkinyĩra njiarwa na njiarwa?
Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? Wilt thou continue thy wrath from generation to generation?
6 Kaĩ ũtangĩtũrurumũkia ngoro ciitũ, nĩguo andũ aku magũkenere?
Wilt thou not revive us again, That thy people may rejoice in thee?
7 Wee Jehova-rĩ, tuonie wendo waku ũrĩa ũtathiraga, na ũtũhe ũhonokio waku.
Show us thy compassion, O LORD! And grant us thy salvation!
8 Nĩngũthikĩrĩria njigue ũrĩa Mũrungu, o we Jehova, ekuuga; eranagĩra thayũ kũrĩ andũ ake, o acio ake aamũre: no ndũkareke macookerere ũrimũ wao.
I will hear what God the LORD will speak: Truly he will speak peace to his people, and to his servants; Only let them not turn again to folly!
9 Ti-itherũ ũhonokio wake ũrĩ hakuhĩ na arĩa mamwĩtigĩrĩte, nĩgeetha riiri wake ũtũũre bũrũri-inĩ witũ.
Yea, his salvation is near to those who fear him, That glory may dwell in our land.
10 Wendo na wĩhokeku nĩicemanĩtie; ũthingu na thayũ nĩikĩmumunyanĩte.
Mercy and truth shall meet together, Righteousness and peace shall kiss each other;
11 Wĩhokeku ũkunũkaga kuuma na thĩ, naguo ũthingu ũcũthagĩrĩrie ũrĩ o igũrũ.
Truth shall spring out of the earth; Righteousness shall look down from heaven.
12 Ti-itherũ Jehova no aheane kĩndũ o gĩothe kĩega, naguo bũrũri witũ ũciarage magetha maguo.
Yea, Jehovah will give prosperity, And our land shall yield her increase.
13 Ũthingu nĩguo ũmũthiiaga mbere, ũkahaaragĩria makinya make njĩra.
Righteousness shall go before him, And set us in the way of his steps.
