Psalms 25
1 A psalm of David. To you, O Lord, I lift up my heart: all the day I wait for you.
Thaburi ya Daudi Wee Jehova, ngoro yakwa ndĩmĩroretie na igũrũ kũrĩ we;
2 In you I trust, put me not to shame; let not my foes exult over me.
Wee Ngai wakwa, nowe ndĩhokete. Ndũkareke njonorithio, o na kana ũreke thũ ciakwa ingenerere.
3 None will be shamed who wait for you, but shame will fall upon wanton traitors.
Gũtirĩ mũndũ ũkwĩhokete ũgaaconorithio o na rĩ, no arĩa mekaga andũ ũũru hatarĩ gĩtũmi-rĩ, acio nĩo magaconorithio.
4 Make me, O Lord, to know your ways: teach me your paths.
Wee Jehova, nyonia mĩthiĩre yaku, ũũmenyithie njĩra ciaku;
5 In your faithfulness guide me and teach me, for you are my God and my saviour.
ndongoria ũhoro-inĩ waku wa ma na ũndutage, nĩgũkorwo nĩwe Ngai ũrĩa ũũhonokagia, na nĩwe kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro gĩakwa mũthenya wothe.
6 Remember your pity, O Lord, and your kindness, for they have been ever of old.
Jehova, ririkana tha ciaku nyingĩ o na wendo waku, nĩgũkorwo nĩ cia kuuma o tene.
7 Do not remember the sins of my youth; remember me in kindness, because of your goodness, Lord.
Ndũkaririkane mehia ma ũnini wakwa, o na kana mehia makwa ma ũremi; ndirikana kũringana na wendani waku, nĩ ũndũ wa wega waku, Wee Jehova.
8 Good is the Lord and upright, so he teaches sinners the way.
Jehova nĩ mwega na nĩ mũrũngĩrĩru; nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ arĩa ehia nĩarĩmonagĩrĩria njĩra ciake.
9 The humble he guides in the right, he teaches the humble his way.
Atongoragia andũ arĩa menyiihagia na njĩra ĩrĩa yagĩrĩire, na akamarutaga njĩra yake.
10 All his ways are loving and loyal to those who observe his charges and covenant.
Njĩra ciothe cia Jehova nĩ cia wendani na wĩhokeku, harĩ arĩa mamenyagĩrĩra kĩrĩkanĩro gĩake.
11 Be true to your name Lord, forgive my many sins.
Wee Jehova, nĩ ũndũ wa rĩĩtwa rĩaku-rĩ, ndekera mehia makwa, o na gũtuĩka nĩ manene.
12 Who then is the person who fears the Lord? He will teach them the way to choose.
Mũndũ ũrĩa mwĩtigĩri Jehova nũũ? Mũndũ ũcio nĩarĩmuonagĩrĩria njĩra ĩrĩa aagĩrĩirwo nĩ kũgera.
13 They will live in prosperity, their children will inherit the land.
Mũndũ ũcio egũtũũra matukũ make agaacĩire, nacio njiaro ciake nĩikaagaya bũrũri.
14 The Lord gives guidance to those who fear him, and with his covenant he makes them acquainted.
Jehova nĩehokaga andũ arĩa mamwĩtigagĩra; nĩo amenyithagia kĩrĩkanĩro gĩake.
15 My eyes are ever toward the Lord, for out of the net he brings my foot.
Maitho makwa maikaraga hĩndĩ ciothe macũthĩrĩirie Jehova, nĩgũkorwo nowe wiki ũngĩteithũkithia magũrũ makwa mũtego-inĩ.
16 Turn to me with your favour, for I am lonely and crushed
Hũgũkĩra, ũnyonie ũtugi waku, nĩgũkorwo ndĩ o nyiki na ndĩ mũnyamarĩku.
17 In my heart are strain and storm; bring me out of my distresses.
Mathĩĩna ma ngoro yakwa nĩmaingĩhĩte; niinĩra ruo rũrĩa ndĩ naruo.
18 Look on my misery and trouble, and pardon all my sins,
Rora mĩnyamaro yakwa o na gũtangĩka gwakwa, ũkĩndekere mehia makwa mothe.
19 look on my foes oh, so many! And their cruel hatred towards me.
Rora thũ ciakwa wone ũrĩa cingĩhĩte, nacio iithũire na rũthũũro rũtarĩ tha!
20 Deliver me, keep me, and shame not one who takes refuge in you.
Menyagĩrĩra muoyo wakwa na ũũthare; ndũkareke njonorithio, nĩgũkorwo nĩ harĩwe njũragĩra.
21 May integrity and innocence preserve me, for I wait for you, O Lord.
Wĩkindĩru wa ngoro na ũrũngĩrĩru irongitagĩra, tondũ nĩwe njĩrĩgagĩrĩra.
22 Redeem Israel, O God, from all its distresses.
Wee Ngai, gĩkũũre andũ a Isiraeli, moime mathĩĩna-inĩ mao mothe!
