Thaburi 86
1 Ihooya rĩa Daudi Wee Jehova, njigua na ũnjĩtĩke, nĩgũkorwo ndĩ mũthĩĩni na mũbatari.
A Prayer of David himself. Incline your ear, O Lord, and hear me. For I am needy and poor.
2 Gitĩra muoyo wakwa, nĩgũkorwo nĩndĩheanĩte harĩwe. Wee nĩwe Ngai wakwa; honokia ndungata yaku ĩno ĩkwĩhokete.
Preserve my soul, for I am holy. My God, bring salvation to your servant who hopes in you.
3 Njiguĩra tha, Wee Mwathani, nĩgũkorwo ngũkayagĩra mũthenya wothe.
O Lord, be merciful to me, for I have cried out to you all day long.
4 He ndungata yaku gĩkeno, nĩgũkorwo nĩ kũrĩ we, Wee Mwathani, ndorereirie ngoro yakwa.
Give joy to the soul of your servant, for I have lifted up my soul to you, Lord.
5 Nĩgũkorwo Wee Mwathani ũrĩ mwega na nĩũrekanagĩra, ũkaingĩhia wendo kũrĩ arĩa othe magũkayagĩra.
For you are sweet and mild, Lord, and plentiful in mercy to all who call upon you.
6 Igua ihooya rĩakwa, Wee Jehova; thikĩrĩria ikaya rĩakwa ũnjiguĩre tha.
Pay attention, Lord, to my prayer, and attend to the voice of my supplication.
7 Mũthenya ũrĩa ngaakorwo na thĩĩna nĩngagũkaĩra, nĩgũkorwo nĩũkanjĩtĩka.
In the day of my tribulation, I cried out to you, because you heeded me.
8 Wee Mwathani, thĩinĩ wa ngai ciothe gũtirĩ ĩngĩ tawe; gũtirĩ ciĩko ingĩhaananio na ciaku.
There is no one like you among the gods, O Lord, and there is no one like you in your works.
9 Ndũrĩrĩ ciothe iria ũmbĩte nĩigooka igũthathaiye irĩ mbere yaku, Wee Mwathani; nĩikarehera rĩĩtwa rĩaku riiri.
All the nations, which you have made, will draw near and adore in your presence, O Lord. And they will glorify your name.
10 Nĩgũkorwo Wee ũrĩ mũnene, na nĩwĩkaga ciĩko cia kũgegania; Wee wiki nowe Ngai.
For you are great, and you perform wonders. You alone are God.
11 Wee Jehova, nyonagĩrĩria njĩra ciaku, nĩgeetha thiiage na mĩthiĩre ya ma; he ngoro ĩĩrutĩire kũna, nĩguo ndĩĩtigagĩre rĩĩtwa rĩaku.
Lead me, O Lord, in your way, and I will walk in your truth. May my heart rejoice, so that it will fear your name.
12 Nĩndĩrĩkũgoocaga na ngoro yakwa yothe, Wee Mwathani Ngai wakwa; ngũtũũra ngumagia rĩĩtwa rĩaku nginya tene.
I will confess to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart. And I will glorify your name in eternity.
13 Nĩgũkorwo wendo waku nĩ mũnene harĩ niĩ; nĩũndeithũrĩte kuuma mbĩrĩra-inĩ o kũrĩa kũriku mũno. (Sheol h7585)
For your mercy toward me is great, and you have rescued my soul from the lower part of Hell. (Sheol h7585)
14 Wee Ngai, andũ arĩa etĩĩi nĩmaraatharĩkĩra; gĩkundi kĩa andũ matarĩ tha nĩmaracaria muoyo wakwa, o andũ acio matakũrũmbũyagia.
O God, the iniquitous have risen up against me, and the synagogue of the powerful have sought my soul, and they have not placed you in their sight.
15 No Wee, Wee Mwathani, ũrĩ Mũrungu mũigua tha na ũrĩ mũtugi, ndũhiũhaga kũrakara, na ũiyũrĩtwo nĩ wendo na wĩhokeku.
And you, Lord God, are compassionate and merciful, being patient and full of mercy and truthful.
16 Wĩhũgũre ũndore na ũnjiguĩre tha; he ndungata ĩno yaku hinya waku, na ũhonokie mũriũ wa ndungata yaku ya mũndũ-wa-nja.
Look down upon me and have mercy on me. Grant your authority to your servant, and bring salvation to the son of your handmaid.
17 Nyonia kĩmenyithia kĩa wega waku, nĩguo thũ ciakwa ikĩone iconorithio, nĩgũkorwo Wee, Wee Jehova, nĩũndeithĩtie na ũkaahooreria.
Make me a sign of what is good, so that those who hate me, may look and be confounded. For you, O Lord, have helped me and consoled me.
