Thaburi 91
1 Mũndũ ũrĩa ũikaraga agitĩirwo nĩ Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno arĩhurũkaga kĩĩruru-inĩ kĩa Mwene-Hinya-Wothe.
He who is dwelling In the secret place of the Most High, In the shade of the Mighty lodgeth habitually,
2 Ngũkiuga ũhoro wa Jehova atĩrĩ, “Wee nĩwe rĩũrĩro rĩakwa na kĩirigo gĩakwa kĩrĩ hinya, nĩwe Ngai wakwa, ũrĩa ndĩĩhokete.”
He is saying of Jehovah, 'My refuge, and my bulwark, my God, I trust in Him,'
3 Ti-itherũ nĩegũgũteithũra gĩkerenge-inĩ kĩa mũtegi, o na kuuma mũrimũ-inĩ ũrĩa mũũru wa kũũraga.
For He delivereth thee from the snare of a fowler, From a calamitous pestilence.
4 Arĩkũhumbagĩra na njoya ciake, na rungu rwa mathagu make nĩho ũrĩĩgitagia; wĩhokeku wake nĩũgatuĩka ngo yaku na kĩĩhitho gĩaku.
With His pinion He covereth thee over, And under His wings thou dost trust, A shield and buckler [is] His truth.
5 Ndũrĩĩtigagĩra imakania cia ũtukũ, kana mũguĩ ũrĩa ũthĩrĩrĩkaga mũthenya,
Thou art not afraid of fear by night, Of arrow that flieth by day,
6 o na kana mũrimũ ũrĩa ũceemaga nduma-inĩ, kana mũthiro ũrĩa ũniinanaga mũthenya gatagatĩ.
Of pestilence in thick darkness that walketh, Of destruction that destroyeth at noon,
7 Andũ ngiri no magũe mwena waku, nao ngiri ikũmi magũe guoko-inĩ gwaku kwa ũrĩo, no ndũngĩkuhĩrĩrio nĩguo.
There fall at thy side a thousand, And a myriad at thy right hand, Unto thee it cometh not nigh.
8 Wee no kwĩrorera ũkerorera na maitho maku wĩonere iherithia rĩa andũ arĩa aaganu.
But with thine eyes thou lookest, And the reward of the wicked thou seest,
9 Ũngĩtua Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno gĩikaro gĩaku, o we Jehova, ũrĩa arĩ we rĩũrĩro rĩakwa,
(For Thou, O Jehovah, [art] my refuge, ) The Most High thou madest thy habitation.
10 hĩndĩ ĩyo gũtirĩ ũũru ũgaagũkorerera, gũtirĩ mwanangĩko ũgaakuhĩrĩria hema yaku.
Evil happeneth not unto thee, And a plague cometh not near thy tent,
11 Nĩgũkorwo nĩagaatha araika ake nĩ ũndũ waku, makũgitagĩre mĩthiĩre-inĩ yaku yothe;
For His messengers He chargeth for thee, To keep thee in all thy ways,
12 nĩmagakuoya na igũrũ na moko mao nĩgeetha ndũkaringwo kũgũrũ nĩ ihiga.
On the hands they bear thee up, Lest thou smite against a stone thy foot.
13 Nĩũgakinyĩrĩria mũrũũthi, o na nduĩra; ũkarangĩrĩria mũrũũthi ũrĩa mũnene, o na nyoka.
On lion and asp thou treadest, Thou trampest young lion and dragon.
14 Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Kuona atĩ nĩanyendete, nĩngamũhatũra hatĩka-inĩ; nĩndĩrĩmũgitagĩra, nĩgũkorwo nĩamenyete rĩĩtwa rĩakwa.
Because in Me he hath delighted, I also deliver him — I set him on high, Because he hath known My name.
15 Arĩngayagĩra, na niĩ ngamwĩtĩka; ndĩrĩkoragwo hamwe nake hĩndĩ ya thĩĩna, ndĩrĩmũteithũraga na ngamũtĩĩithia.
He doth call Me, and I answer him, I [am] with him in distress, I deliver him, and honour him.
16 Ngũmũtũũria muoyo matukũ maingĩ nginya aiganie, na ndĩmuonagie ũhonokio wakwa.”
With length of days I satisfy him, And I cause him to look on My salvation!
