Thaburi 86
1 Ihooya rĩa Daudi Wee Jehova, njigua na ũnjĩtĩke, nĩgũkorwo ndĩ mũthĩĩni na mũbatari.
Bow down your ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy.
2 Gitĩra muoyo wakwa, nĩgũkorwo nĩndĩheanĩte harĩwe. Wee nĩwe Ngai wakwa; honokia ndungata yaku ĩno ĩkwĩhokete.
Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O you my God, save your servant that trusts in you.
3 Njiguĩra tha, Wee Mwathani, nĩgũkorwo ngũkayagĩra mũthenya wothe.
Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto you daily.
4 He ndungata yaku gĩkeno, nĩgũkorwo nĩ kũrĩ we, Wee Mwathani, ndorereirie ngoro yakwa.
Rejoice the soul of your servant: for unto you, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
5 Nĩgũkorwo Wee Mwathani ũrĩ mwega na nĩũrekanagĩra, ũkaingĩhia wendo kũrĩ arĩa othe magũkayagĩra.
For you, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive; and abundant in mercy unto all them that call upon you.
6 Igua ihooya rĩakwa, Wee Jehova; thikĩrĩria ikaya rĩakwa ũnjiguĩre tha.
Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications.
7 Mũthenya ũrĩa ngaakorwo na thĩĩna nĩngagũkaĩra, nĩgũkorwo nĩũkanjĩtĩka.
In the day of my trouble I will call upon you: for you will answer me.
8 Wee Mwathani, thĩinĩ wa ngai ciothe gũtirĩ ĩngĩ tawe; gũtirĩ ciĩko ingĩhaananio na ciaku.
Among the gods there is none like unto you, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto your works.
9 Ndũrĩrĩ ciothe iria ũmbĩte nĩigooka igũthathaiye irĩ mbere yaku, Wee Mwathani; nĩikarehera rĩĩtwa rĩaku riiri.
All nations whom you have made shall come and worship before you, O Lord; and shall glorify your name.
10 Nĩgũkorwo Wee ũrĩ mũnene, na nĩwĩkaga ciĩko cia kũgegania; Wee wiki nowe Ngai.
For you are great, and do wondrous things: you are God alone.
11 Wee Jehova, nyonagĩrĩria njĩra ciaku, nĩgeetha thiiage na mĩthiĩre ya ma; he ngoro ĩĩrutĩire kũna, nĩguo ndĩĩtigagĩre rĩĩtwa rĩaku.
Teach me your way, O LORD; I will walk in your truth: unite my heart to fear your name.
12 Nĩndĩrĩkũgoocaga na ngoro yakwa yothe, Wee Mwathani Ngai wakwa; ngũtũũra ngumagia rĩĩtwa rĩaku nginya tene.
I will praise you, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify your name for evermore.
13 Nĩgũkorwo wendo waku nĩ mũnene harĩ niĩ; nĩũndeithũrĩte kuuma mbĩrĩra-inĩ o kũrĩa kũriku mũno. (Sheol h7585)
For great is your mercy toward me: and you have delivered my soul from the low 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 proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul; and have not set you before them.
15 No Wee, Wee Mwathani, ũrĩ Mũrungu mũigua tha na ũrĩ mũtugi, ndũhiũhaga kũrakara, na ũiyũrĩtwo nĩ wendo na wĩhokeku.
But you, O Lord, are a God full of compassion, and gracious, long suffering, and abundant in mercy and truth.
16 Wĩhũgũre ũndore na ũnjiguĩre tha; he ndungata ĩno yaku hinya waku, na ũhonokie mũriũ wa ndungata yaku ya mũndũ-wa-nja.
O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give your strength unto your servant, and save the son of your handmaid.
17 Nyonia kĩmenyithia kĩa wega waku, nĩguo thũ ciakwa ikĩone iconorithio, nĩgũkorwo Wee, Wee Jehova, nĩũndeithĩtie na ũkaahooreria.
Show me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because you, LORD, have helped me, and comforted me.
