Psalms 143
1 A Psalm of David. Hear my prayer, O Jehovah; give ear to my supplications: In thy faithfulness answer me, [and] in thy righteousness.
Thaburi ya Daudi Igua ihooya rĩakwa, Wee Jehova, thikĩrĩria kĩrĩro gĩakwa ũnjiguĩre tha; ũka ũndeithie, nĩ ũndũ wa wĩhokeku waku na ũthingu waku.
2 And enter not into judgment with thy servant; For in thy sight no man living is righteous.
Ndũgaciirithie ndungata yaku, nĩgũkorwo maitho-inĩ maku gũtirĩ mũndũ ũrĩ muoyo ũngĩtuuo mũthingu.
3 For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; He hath smitten my life down to the ground: He hath made me to dwell in dark places, as those that have been long dead.
Thũ nĩĩthingatĩte, ĩkangurumania thĩ tĩĩri-inĩ; ĩtũmaga ndũũre nduma-inĩ ta arĩa maakuire tene.
4 Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; My heart within me is desolate.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio roho wakwa ũkaringĩka thĩinĩ wakwa; ngoro yakwa nĩĩmakĩte mũno thĩinĩ wakwa.
5 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy doings; I muse on the work of thy hands.
Nĩndĩrĩririkanaga matukũ marĩa ma tene; ndĩrĩcũũranagia mawĩko maku mothe na ngatarania maũndũ marĩa moko maku meekĩte.
6 I spread forth my hands unto thee: My soul [thirsteth] after thee, as a weary land. (Selah)
Ndambũrũkĩtie moko makwa na kũrĩ we; muoyo wakwa ũkũnyootagĩra ta bũrũri ũrĩa mũũmũ.
7 Make haste to answer me, O Jehovah; my spirit faileth: Hide not thy face from me, Lest I become like them that go down into the pit.
Wee Jehova, hiũha kũnjĩtĩka; roho wakwa nĩũthirĩtwo nĩ hinya. Tiga kũũhitha ũthiũ waku, ndikahaane ta arĩa matoonyaga irima.
8 Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; For in thee do I trust: Cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; For I lift up my soul unto thee.
O rũciinĩ reke njiguage kiugo kĩa wendo waku ũrĩa ũtathiraga, nĩgũkorwo nĩwe ndĩĩhokete. Nyonia njĩra ĩrĩa njagĩrĩirwo nĩkũgera, nĩgũkorwo muoyo wakwa ndĩwerekeirie igũrũ kũrĩ we.
9 Deliver me, O Jehovah, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me.
Ndeithũra kuuma kũrĩ thũ ciakwa, Wee Jehova, nĩgũkorwo ndĩĩhithaga harĩwe.
10 Teach me to do thy will; For thou art my God: Thy Spirit is good; Lead me in the land of uprightness.
Nduta gwĩkaga wendi waku, nĩgũkorwo Wee nĩwe Ngai wakwa; Roho waku mwega arondongoragia, ngeragĩre kũrĩa kwaraganu.
11 Quicken me, O Jehovah, for thy name’s sake: In thy righteousness bring my soul out of trouble.
Wee Jehova, nĩ ũndũ wa rĩĩtwa rĩaku, tũũria muoyo wakwa; nĩ ũndũ wa ũthingu waku-rĩ, nduta kuuma mĩnyamaro-inĩ.
12 And in thy lovingkindness cut off mine enemies, And destroy all them that afflict my soul; For I am thy servant.
Nĩ ũndũ wa wendo waku ũtathiraga, kiria thũ ciakwa; niina arĩa othe maathũire, nĩgũkorwo niĩ ndĩ ndungata yaku.
