Thaburi 88
1 Thaburi ya Ariũ a Kora Wee Jehova, o Wee Ngai ũrĩa ũũhonokagia, ngũkayagĩra mũthenya na ũtukũ ndĩ mbere yaku.
A Song, a Psalm of the sons of Korah; for the Leader; upon Mahalath Leannoth. Maschil of Heman the Ezrahite. O LORD, God of my salvation, what time I cry in the night before Thee,
2 Ihooya rĩakwa rĩrokinya harĩwe; inamĩrĩria gũtũ gwaku ũigue gũkaya gwakwa.
Let my prayer come before Thee, incline Thine ear unto my cry.
For my soul is sated with troubles, and my life draweth nigh unto the grave. (Sheol h7585)
4 Niĩ ndaranĩirio na arĩa makiriĩ gũkua; haana ta mũndũ ũtarĩ na hinya.
I am counted with them that go down into the pit; I am become as a man that hath no help;
5 Niĩ njiganĩirio na arĩa akuũ, o ta arĩa moragĩtwo magakoma mbĩrĩra, o acio ũtacookaga kũririkana, arĩa meheretio kuuma ũmenyereri-inĩ waku.
Set apart among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom Thou rememberest no more; and they are cut off from Thy hand.
6 Ũnjikĩtie irima rĩrĩa iriku mũno, o kũu kũriku kũrĩ nduma ndumanu.
Thou hast laid me in the nethermost pit, in dark places, in the deeps.
7 Mangʼũrĩ maku nĩmanditũhĩire mũno; nĩũũhubĩkanĩtie na ndiihũ ciaku ciothe.
Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and all Thy waves Thou pressest down. (Selah)
8 Nĩũnjehereirie arata akwa arĩa twendanĩte mũno, na ũgatũma nduĩke kĩndũ kĩrĩ magigi harĩo. Ndĩĩmũhingĩrĩrie ndingĩhota kũũra;
Thou hast put mine acquaintance far from me; Thou hast made me an abomination unto them; I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.
9 maitho makwa nĩmaroora nĩ kĩeha. Wee Jehova, ngũkayagĩra o mũthenya; ngũtambũrũkagĩria moko makwa.
Mine eye languisheth by reason of affliction; I have called upon Thee, O LORD, every day, I have spread forth my hands unto Thee.
10 Andũ arĩa akuũ-rĩ, wee nĩũmonagia magegania maku? Acio makuĩte-rĩ, nĩmarahũkaga, magakũgooca?
Wilt Thou work wonders for the dead? Or shall the shades arise and give Thee thanks? (Selah)
11 Wendo waku nĩumbũragwo mbĩrĩra-inĩ, kana wĩhokeku waku ũgakiumbũrwo Mwanangĩko-inĩ?
Shall Thy mercy be declared in the grave? or Thy faithfulness in destruction?
12 Magegania maku nĩmonagwo kũndũ kũu kwa nduma, kana ciĩko ciaku cia ũthingu ikamenyeka bũrũri-inĩ ũcio wa kĩriganĩro?
Shall Thy wonders be known in the dark? and Thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
13 No nĩngũgũkaĩra ũndeithie, Wee Jehova; rũciinĩ mahooya makwa mokaga harĩwe.
But as for me, unto Thee, O LORD, do I cry, and in the morning doth my prayer come to meet Thee.
14 Wee Jehova, nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmĩte ũndiganĩrie na ũkaahitha ũthiũ waku?
LORD, why castest Thou off my soul? Why hidest Thou Thy face from me?
15 Kuuma o ũnini wakwa ndũũrĩte nyamarĩtio na ngakuhĩrĩria gĩkuũ; nĩnyamaarĩkĩte nĩ imakania ciaku, igatũma njage mwĩhoko.
I am afflicted and at the point of death from my youth up; I have borne Thy terrors, I am distracted.
16 Mangʼũrĩ maku nĩmahubĩkanĩtie, nacio imakania ciaku ikanyananga.
Thy fierce wrath is gone over me; Thy terrors have cut me off.
17 Maathiũrũrũkagĩria mũthenya wothe ta mũiyũro wa maaĩ; hingĩrĩirio nĩmo na mĩena yothe.
They came round about me like water all the day; they compassed me about together.
18 Nĩũnjehereirie athiritũ akwa na arĩa nyendete; nduma nĩyo mũrata wakwa ũrĩa ũnguhĩrĩirie mũno.
Friend and companion hast Thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness.
