Psalms 52
1 To the chief Musician: an instruction. Of David; when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said unto him, David came to the house of Ahimelech. Why boastest thou thyself in evil, thou mighty man? The loving-kindness of God [abideth] continually.
Thaburi ya Daudi Wee njamba ĩno ĩrĩ hinya, ũreegana nĩ ũndũ wa maũndũ mooru nĩkĩ? Ũtindaga wĩrahĩte mũthenya wothe nĩkĩ, o wee ũtuĩkĩte gĩconoko maitho-nĩ ma Ngai?
2 Thy tongue deviseth mischievous things, like a sharp razor, practising deceit.
Rũrĩmĩ rwaku rũthugundaga mwanangĩko; rũhaana ta rwenji rũnoore, o wee wĩkaga maũndũ ma maheeni.
3 Thou hast loved evil rather than good, lying rather than to speak righteousness. (Selah)
Wendete maũndũ mooru gũkĩra marĩa mega, ũkenda maheeni gũkĩra kwaria ma.
4 Thou hast loved all devouring words, O deceitful tongue!
Wendete ciugo o ciothe ithũkagia andũ, wee rũrĩmĩ rũrũ rwa maheeni!
5 God shall likewise destroy thee for ever; he shall take thee away, and pluck thee out of [thy] tent, and root thee out of the land of the living. (Selah)
Ti-itherũ Mũrungu nĩagakwananga nginya tene na tene: Agakũnyiita, akũhurie na akũrute hema-inĩ yaku; agakũmunya akweherie bũrũri wa arĩa marĩ muoyo.
6 The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him, [saying, ]
Andũ arĩa athingu nĩmakona ũguo metigĩre; nao magathekerera mũndũ ũcio, moige atĩrĩ,
7 Behold the man that made not God his strength, but put confidence in the abundance of his riches, [and] strengthened himself in his avarice.
“Ũyũ nĩwe mũndũ ũrĩa wagire gũtua Ngai kĩĩhitho gĩake kĩa hinya, no eehokire ũtonga wake mũingĩ, na akĩgĩa hinya nĩ ũndũ wa kũniina andũ arĩa angĩ!”
8 But as for me, I am like a green olive-tree in the house of God: I will confide in the loving-kindness of God for ever and ever.
No rĩrĩ, niĩ ndariĩ ta mũtĩ wa mũtamaiyũ, ũrĩa ũrakũra wega ũrĩ thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ya Ngai; ndĩhokete wendo wa Ngai ũrĩa ũtathiraga nginya tene na tene.
9 I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done [it]; and I will wait on thy name, before thy godly ones, for it is good.
Ngũtũũra ngũgoocaga nginya tene nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa wĩkĩte; ndĩrĩĩhokaga rĩĩtwa rĩaku, nĩgũkorwo rĩĩtwa rĩaku nĩ rĩega. Ndĩrĩkũgoocaga ndĩ mbere ya andũ aku arĩa aamũre.
