1 Mũndũ ũrĩa ũikaraga agitĩirwo nĩ Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno arĩhurũkaga kĩĩruru-inĩ kĩa Mwene-Hinya-Wothe.
Who so dwelleth in the secrete of the most High, shall abide in the shadowe of the Almightie.
2 Ngũkiuga ũhoro wa Jehova atĩrĩ, “Wee nĩwe rĩũrĩro rĩakwa na kĩirigo gĩakwa kĩrĩ hinya, nĩwe Ngai wakwa, ũrĩa ndĩĩhokete.”
I will say vnto the Lord, O mine hope, and my fortresse: he is my God, in him will I trust.
3 Ti-itherũ nĩegũgũteithũra gĩkerenge-inĩ kĩa mũtegi, o na kuuma mũrimũ-inĩ ũrĩa mũũru wa kũũraga.
Surely he will deliuer thee from the snare of the hunter, and from the noysome pestilence.
4 Arĩkũhumbagĩra na njoya ciake, na rungu rwa mathagu make nĩho ũrĩĩgitagia; wĩhokeku wake nĩũgatuĩka ngo yaku na kĩĩhitho gĩaku.
Hee will couer thee vnder his winges, and thou shalt be sure vnder his feathers: his trueth shall be thy shielde and buckler.
5 Ndũrĩĩtigagĩra imakania cia ũtukũ, kana mũguĩ ũrĩa ũthĩrĩrĩkaga mũthenya,
Thou shalt not be afraide of the feare of the night, nor of the arrowe that flyeth by day:
6 o na kana mũrimũ ũrĩa ũceemaga nduma-inĩ, kana mũthiro ũrĩa ũniinanaga mũthenya gatagatĩ.
Nor of the pestilence that walketh in the darkenesse: nor of the plague that destroyeth at noone 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 thy side, and tenne thousand at thy right hand, but it shall not come neere thee.
8 Wee no kwĩrorera ũkerorera na maitho maku wĩonere iherithia rĩa andũ arĩa aaganu.
Doubtlesse with thine eyes shalt thou beholde and see the reward of the wicked.
9 Ũngĩtua Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno gĩikaro gĩaku, o we Jehova, ũrĩa arĩ we rĩũrĩro rĩakwa,
For thou hast said, The Lord is mine hope: thou hast set the most High for thy refuge.
10 hĩndĩ ĩyo gũtirĩ ũũru ũgaagũkorerera, gũtirĩ mwanangĩko ũgaakuhĩrĩria hema yaku.
There shall none euill come vnto thee, neither shall any plague come neere thy tabernacle.
11 Nĩgũkorwo nĩagaatha araika ake nĩ ũndũ waku, makũgitagĩre mĩthiĩre-inĩ yaku yothe;
For hee shall giue his Angels charge ouer thee to keepe thee in all thy wayes.
12 nĩmagakuoya na igũrũ na moko mao nĩgeetha ndũkaringwo kũgũrũ nĩ ihiga.
They shall beare thee in their handes, that thou hurt not thy foote against a stone.
13 Nĩũgakinyĩrĩria mũrũũthi, o na nduĩra; ũkarangĩrĩria mũrũũthi ũrĩa mũnene, o na nyoka.
Thou shalt walke vpon the lyon and aspe: the yong lyon and the dragon shalt thou treade vnder feete.
14 Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Kuona atĩ nĩanyendete, nĩngamũhatũra hatĩka-inĩ; nĩndĩrĩmũgitagĩra, nĩgũkorwo nĩamenyete rĩĩtwa rĩakwa.
Because he hath loued me, therefore will I deliuer him: I will exalt him because hee hath knowen my Name.
15 Arĩngayagĩra, na niĩ ngamwĩtĩka; ndĩrĩkoragwo hamwe nake hĩndĩ ya thĩĩna, ndĩrĩmũteithũraga na ngamũtĩĩithia.
He shall call vpon me, and I wil heare him: I will be with him in trouble: I will deliuer him, and glorifie him.
16 Ngũmũtũũria muoyo matukũ maingĩ nginya aiganie, na ndĩmuonagie ũhonokio wakwa.”
With long life wil I satisfie him, and shew him my saluation.
