Thaburi 91
1 Mũndũ ũrĩa ũikaraga agitĩirwo nĩ Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno arĩhurũkaga kĩĩruru-inĩ kĩa Mwene-Hinya-Wothe.
Praise of a Song, by David. He that dwells in the help of the Highest, shall sojourn under the shelter of the God of heaven.
2 Ngũkiuga ũhoro wa Jehova atĩrĩ, “Wee nĩwe rĩũrĩro rĩakwa na kĩirigo gĩakwa kĩrĩ hinya, nĩwe Ngai wakwa, ũrĩa ndĩĩhokete.”
He shall say to the Lord, You are my helper and my refuge: my God; I will hope in him.
3 Ti-itherũ nĩegũgũteithũra gĩkerenge-inĩ kĩa mũtegi, o na kuuma mũrimũ-inĩ ũrĩa mũũru wa kũũraga.
For he shall deliver you from the snare of the hunters, from [every] troublesome matter.
4 Arĩkũhumbagĩra na njoya ciake, na rungu rwa mathagu make nĩho ũrĩĩgitagia; wĩhokeku wake nĩũgatuĩka ngo yaku na kĩĩhitho gĩaku.
He shall overshadow you with his shoulders, and you shall trust under his wings: his truth shall cover you with a shield.
5 Ndũrĩĩtigagĩra imakania cia ũtukũ, kana mũguĩ ũrĩa ũthĩrĩrĩkaga mũthenya,
You shall not be afraid of terror by night; nor of the arrow flying by day;
6 o na kana mũrimũ ũrĩa ũceemaga nduma-inĩ, kana mũthiro ũrĩa ũniinanaga mũthenya gatagatĩ.
[nor] of the [evil] thing that walks in darkness; [nor] of calamity, and the evil spirit at noon-day.
7 Andũ ngiri no magũe mwena waku, nao ngiri ikũmi magũe guoko-inĩ gwaku kwa ũrĩo, no ndũngĩkuhĩrĩrio nĩguo.
A thousand shall fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you.
8 Wee no kwĩrorera ũkerorera na maitho maku wĩonere iherithia rĩa andũ arĩa aaganu.
Only with your eyes shall you observe and see the reward of sinners.
9 Ũngĩtua Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno gĩikaro gĩaku, o we Jehova, ũrĩa arĩ we rĩũrĩro rĩakwa,
For you, O Lord, are my hope: you, my soul, have made the Most High your refuge.
10 hĩndĩ ĩyo gũtirĩ ũũru ũgaagũkorerera, gũtirĩ mwanangĩko ũgaakuhĩrĩria hema yaku.
No evils shall come upon you, and no scourge shall draw near to your dwelling.
11 Nĩgũkorwo nĩagaatha araika ake nĩ ũndũ waku, makũgitagĩre mĩthiĩre-inĩ yaku yothe;
For he shall give his angels charge concerning you, to keep you in all your ways.
12 nĩmagakuoya na igũrũ na moko mao nĩgeetha ndũkaringwo kũgũrũ nĩ ihiga.
They shall bear you up on their hands, lest at any time you dash your foot against a stone.
13 Nĩũgakinyĩrĩria mũrũũthi, o na nduĩra; ũkarangĩrĩria mũrũũthi ũrĩa mũnene, o na nyoka.
You shall tread on the asp and basilisk: and you shall trample on the lion and dragon.
14 Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Kuona atĩ nĩanyendete, nĩngamũhatũra hatĩka-inĩ; nĩndĩrĩmũgitagĩra, nĩgũkorwo nĩamenyete rĩĩtwa rĩakwa.
For he has hoped in me, and I will deliver him: I will protect him, because he has known my name.
15 Arĩngayagĩra, na niĩ ngamwĩtĩka; ndĩrĩkoragwo hamwe nake hĩndĩ ya thĩĩna, ndĩrĩmũteithũraga na ngamũtĩĩithia.
He shall call upon me, and I will listen to him: I am with him in affliction; and I will deliver him, and glorify him.
16 Ngũmũtũũria muoyo matukũ maingĩ nginya aiganie, na ndĩmuonagie ũhonokio wakwa.”
I will satisfy him with length of days, and show him my salvation.
