Thaburi 9
1 Thaburi ya Daudi Wee Jehova, nĩngũkũgooca na ngoro yakwa yothe; nĩngũgana maũndũ maku mothe ma magegania marĩa wĩkĩte.
For the music director. According to Muth-labben. A psalm of David. I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all the amazing things you have done.
2 Nĩngũcanjamũka na ngene nĩ ũndũ waku. Nĩngũina rwĩmbo ngooce rĩĩtwa rĩaku, Wee Ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno.
I will be glad and celebrate in you; I will sing praises to your wonderful nature, Most High God.
3 Thũ ciakwa icookaga na thuutha, ikahĩngwo igathira irĩ mbere yaku.
Those who hate me retreat; they fall back and die when you confront them.
4 Nĩgũkorwo nĩũtiirĩrĩire kĩhooto gĩakwa na ciira wakwa; nĩũikarĩire gĩtĩ gĩaku kĩa ũnene, na ũgatua ciira na ũthingu.
For you have judged that I am right; you have decided fairly from your throne of judgment.
5 Nĩũrũithĩtie ndũrĩrĩ na ũkaniina andũ arĩa aaganu; namo marĩĩtwa mao ũkamatharia tene na tene.
You have condemned the nations; you have destroyed the wicked; you have wiped out their names forever and ever.
6 Thũ nĩũcikinyĩirie mwanangĩko ũtathiraga, nĩwanangĩte matũũra macio manene; o na kũririkanwo kwao nĩgũthirĩte.
The enemies are finished, ruined forever; their cities are destroyed—even the memory of them is gone.
7 Jehova athamakaga nginya tene; nĩahaandĩte gĩtĩ gĩake kĩa ũnene nĩguo atuanĩre ciira.
But the Lord rules forever, his throne is set up for judgment.
8 Nĩagatuĩra andũ a thĩ ciira na kĩhooto; nĩagathamakĩra ndũrĩrĩ o ta ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire.
The Lord judges the world rightly; he judges the nations fairly.
9 Jehova nĩwe rĩũrĩro rĩa arĩa ahinyĩrĩrie, kĩĩhitho kĩrĩ hinya hĩndĩ ya mathĩĩna.
The Lord is a place of safety for those who are oppressed, a fortress in times of trouble.
10 Arĩa mooĩ rĩĩtwa rĩaku nĩmarĩkwĩhokaga, nĩgũkorwo Jehova ndũrĩ watiganĩria arĩa makũrongoragia.
Those who know your nature trust in you, for you don't abandon those who come to you.
11 Inĩrai Jehova nyĩmbo mũmũgooce, o ũcio ũikarĩire gĩtĩ gĩake kĩa ũnene kũu Zayuni; umbũrĩrai andũ a ndũrĩrĩ maũndũ marĩa ekĩte.
Sing praises to the Lord who reigns in Zion! Tell the nations what he has done!
12 Nĩgũkorwo ũcio ũrĩhanagĩria thakame nĩamaririkanaga; kĩrĩro kĩa andũ arĩa ahinyĩrĩrĩku ndakariganĩrwo nĩkĩo.
He does not forget to punish murderers; he does not ignore the cries of the suffering.
13 Wee Jehova, ta rora wone ũrĩa thũ ciakwa iranyariira! Njiguĩra tha, ũnjoe na igũrũ, ũndute kuuma ihingo-inĩ cia gĩkuũ,
Be gracious to me, Lord! Look at how my enemies are persecuting me! Grab me back from the gates of death,
14 nĩguo nyumbũre ũgooci waku ndĩ kũu ihingo-inĩ cia Mwarĩ wa Zayuni, na ndĩ kũu ngenagĩre ũhonokio waku.
so I can praise you at Zion's gates, happy that you have saved me.
15 Ndũrĩrĩ nĩigwĩte o irima rĩrĩa cienjete; magũrũ maacio nĩmanyiitĩtwo nĩ wabu o ũcio ihithĩte wa gũtegana.
The nations have fallen into their own pit they dug; their feet are trapped by their own net they set.
16 Jehova nĩemenyithanĩtie na ũndũ wa gũtuanĩra ciira na kĩhooto gĩake; andũ arĩa aaganu nĩmetegete na wĩra wa moko mao ene.
The Lord is known for his fairness; the wicked are trapped by their own actions. (Higgaion, Selah)
17 Andũ arĩa aaganu macookaga o mbĩrĩra-inĩ, ĩĩ-ni, ndũrĩrĩ iria ciothe iriganagĩrwo nĩ Ngai. (Sheol h7585)
The wicked depart, going to the grave—all nations who turn their backs on God. (Sheol h7585)
18 No rĩrĩ, andũ arĩa abatari matigũtũũra mariganĩire, na kana mwĩhoko wa arĩa ahinyĩrĩrie ũthire nginya tene.
But the needy will not be ignored forever, the hope of those who suffer will not always be dashed.
19 Wee Jehova, arahũka, Ndũkareke mũndũ agĩe na ũhootani; reke ndũrĩrĩ ituĩrwo ciira irĩ mbere yaku.
Stand up, Lord! Don't let human beings win! Let the nations be brought before you for judgment!
20 Wee Jehova, maiguithie guoya, ũreke ndũrĩrĩ imenye atĩ cio no andũ.
Lord, terrify them! Let them know they are only human! (Selah)
