Psalms 37
1 A psalm for David himself. Be not emulous of evildoers; nor envy them that work iniquity.
Thaburi ya Daudi Tigaga gũthĩĩnĩka ngoro nĩ ũndũ wa andũ arĩa mekaga ũũru, o na kana ũiguage ũiru nĩ ũndũ wa arĩa mekaga mahĩtia;
2 For they shall shortly wither away as grass, and as the green herbs shall quickly fall.
nĩgũkorwo acio makaahooha o narua o ta ũrĩa nyeki ĩhoohaga, na makue narua o ta ũrĩa riya rĩhoohaga rĩamunywo.
3 Trust in the Lord, and do good, and dwell in the land, and thou shalt be fed with its riches.
Wĩhoke Jehova na wĩkage wega; tũũra bũrũri-inĩ ũkenagĩra ũrĩithio wa thayũ.
4 Delight in the Lord, and he will give thee the requests of thy heart.
Ĩkaga maũndũ ma gũkenia Jehova, na nĩarĩkũhingagĩria merirĩria ma ngoro yaku.
5 Commit thy way to the Lord, and trust in him, and he will do it.
Rekagĩrĩria Jehova njĩra yaku; mwĩhokage o we, nake nĩarĩĩkaga maũndũ maya:
6 And he will bring forth thy justice as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
Nĩarĩtũmaga ũthingu waku ware o ta rũciinĩ, nakĩo kĩhooto gĩa ciira waku kĩare o ta riũa rĩa mũthenya barigici.
7 Be subject to the Lord and pray to him Envy not the man who prospereth in his way; the man who doth unjust things.
Hoorera mbere ya Jehova na ũmweterere ũtegũthethũka; ndũgathĩĩnĩke ngoro rĩrĩa andũ magaacĩra mĩthiĩre-inĩ yao, rĩrĩa mekũhingia mathugunda mao ma gwĩka ũũru.
8 Cease from anger, and leave rage; have no emulation to do evil.
Tigaga kũrakara na wĩrigagĩrĩrie mangʼũrĩ; tigaga gũthĩĩnĩka ngoro, tondũ ũndũ ũcio no ũtũme wĩke ũũru.
9 For the evildoers shall be cut off: but they that wait upon the Lord shall inherit the land.
Nĩgũkorwo andũ ooru nĩmakaniinwo, no arĩa mehokete Jehova nĩmakagaya bũrũri.
10 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: and thou shalt seek his place, and shalt not find it.
No kahinda kanini, arĩa aaganu mage kuoneka rĩngĩ; o na mũngĩmacaria, mũtingĩmoona.
11 But the meek shall inherit the land, and shall delight in abundance of peace.
No arĩa ahooreri nĩo makaagaya bũrũri, na matũũre makenete nĩkũingĩhĩrwo nĩ thayũ.
12 The sinner shall watch the just man: and shall gnash upon him with his teeth.
Andũ arĩa aaganu mathugundaga mokĩrĩre andũ arĩa athingu, na makamahagaranĩria magego;
13 But the Lord shall laugh at him: for he foreseeth that his day shall come.
no Mwathani athekagĩrĩra andũ acio aaganu, nĩgũkorwo nĩoĩ mũthenya wao nĩũrooka.
14 The wicked have drawn out the sword: they have bent their bow. To cast down the poor and needy, to kill the upright of heart.
Andũ arĩa aaganu macomorete hiũ cia njora, na makageeta ũta nĩguo maniine mũndũ ũrĩa mũthĩĩni na mũbatari, na moorage andũ arĩa njĩra ciao irũngĩrĩirie.
15 Let their sword enter into their own hearts, and let their bow be broken.
No hiũ icio ciao cia njora igaatheeca ngoro ciao ene, na mota mao moinangwo.
16 Better is a little to the just, than the great riches of the wicked.
Nĩ kaba kĩndũ kĩnini kĩrĩ na andũ arĩa athingu, gũkĩra ũtonga mũingĩ wa andũ aaganu;
17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken in pieces; but the Lord strengtheneth the just.
nĩgũkorwo hinya wa andũ arĩa aaganu nĩũkaniinwo, no Jehova atiiragĩrĩra andũ arĩa athingu.
18 The Lord knoweth the days of undefiled; and their inheritance shall be for ever.
Matukũ ma andũ arĩa matarĩ ũcuuke nĩmooĩo nĩ Jehova, na igai rĩao rĩgũtũũra nginya tene.
19 They shall not be confounded in the evil time; and in the days of famine they shall be filled:
Hĩndĩ ya mwanangĩko matikoona ũũru; na hĩndĩ ya ngʼaragu magaakorwo na irio cia kũigana.
20 Because the wicked shall perish. And the enemies of the Lord, presently after they shall be honoured and exalted, shall come to nothing and vanish like smoke.
No andũ arĩa aaganu nĩmagathira: Thũ cia Jehova igaathira ta ũrĩa ũthaka wa mĩgũnda ũthiraga, nĩikabuĩria, ibuĩrie o ta ndogo.
21 The sinner shall borrow, and not pay again; but the just sheweth mercy and shall give.
Andũ arĩa aaganu makoombaga na matirĩhaga, no arĩa athingu maheanaga na ũtaana;
22 For such as bless him shall inherit the land: but such as curse him shall perish.
andũ arĩa Jehova arathimĩte nĩmakagaya bũrũri, no arĩa arumĩte nĩmakaniinwo.
23 With the Lord shall the steps of a man be directed, and he shall like well his way.
Jehova angĩkenio nĩ mũthiĩre wa mũndũ, atũmaga makinya make marũme wega;
24 When he shall fall he shall not be bruised, for the Lord putteth his hand under him.
o na angĩhĩngwo, ndangĩgũa, nĩgũkorwo Jehova amũnyiitagĩrĩra na guoko gwake.
25 I have been young, and now am old; and I have not seen the just forsaken, nor his seed seeking bread.
Ndaarĩ mũnini, na rĩu ndĩ mũkũrũ, no ndirĩ ndoona andũ arĩa athingu matiganĩirio, kana ciana ciao ikĩhooya irio.
26 He sheweth mercy, and lendeth all the day long; and his seed shall be in blessing.
Hĩndĩ ciothe makoragwo marĩ ataana, na makombanagĩra matekwenda uumithio; ciana ciao nĩ ikaarathimwo.
27 Decline from evil and do good, and dwell for ever and ever.
Theemaga ũũru, na wĩkage wega, nawe ũtũũre bũrũri-inĩ nginya tene.
28 For the Lord loveth judgment, and will not forsake his saints: they shall be preserved for ever. The unjust shall be punished, and the seed of the wicked shall perish.
Nĩgũkorwo Jehova endete o kĩhooto, na ndagatiganĩria arĩa ake ehokeku. Acio megũtũũra magitĩirwo nginya tene, no ciana cia arĩa aaganu nĩikaniinwo.
29 But the just shall inherit the land, and shall dwell therein for evermore.
Andũ arĩa athingu nĩo makaagaya bũrũri, na matũũre kuo nginya tene.
30 The mouth of the just shall meditate wisdom: and his tongue shall speak judgment.
Kanua ka mũndũ mũthingu gatumũkaga ndeto cia ũũgĩ, naruo rũrĩmĩ rwake rũkaaria kĩhooto.
31 The law of his God is in his heart, and his steps shall not be supplanted.
Watho wa Ngai wake ũrĩ o ngoro-inĩ yake; makinya make matingĩtenderũka.
32 The wicked watcheth the just man, and seeketh to put him to death,
Andũ arĩa aaganu maikaraga moheirie arĩa athingu, magĩcaria o ũrĩa mangĩmooraga;
33 But the Lord will not leave in his hands; nor condemn him when he shall be judged.
no Jehova ndakamatiganĩria moko-inĩ ma andũ acio aaganu, kana areke matuĩrwo atĩ nĩ ehia rĩrĩa magaaciirithio.
34 Expect the Lord and keep his way: and he will exalt thee to inherit the land: when the sinners shall perish thou shalt see.
Etagĩrĩra Jehova na ũrũmagĩrĩre njĩra yake. Nĩagagũtũũgĩria nĩguo ũgae bũrũri; rĩrĩa andũ arĩa aaganu makaaniinwo-rĩ, wee nĩũkeyonera ũndũ ũcio.
35 I have seen the wicked highly exalted, and lifted up like the cedars of Libanus.
Nĩnyonete mũndũ mwaganu na mũndũ ũtarĩ tha agaacĩire ta mũtĩ mũruru ũrĩ o imerero-inĩ rĩaguo,
36 And I passed by, and lo, he was not: and I sought him and his place was not found.
no thuutha wa kahinda o kanini akĩehera, akĩaga gũkorwo ho rĩngĩ; o na gũtuĩka nĩndamũcaririe, ndiigana kũmuona.
37 Keep innocence, and behold justice: for there are remnants for the peaceable man.
Cũrania ũhoro wa mũndũ ũrĩa ũtarĩ ũcuuke, na ũrore ũrĩa mũrũngĩrĩru, ũhoro wake wa matukũ marĩa magooka nĩ ũhoro wa thayũ.
38 But the unjust shall be destroyed together: the remnants of the wicked shall perish.
No rĩrĩ, andũ arĩa ehia othe nĩmakaniinwo; no andũ arĩa aaganu mũthia wao nĩ kũũragwo makooragwo.
39 But the salvation of the just is from the Lord, and he is their protector in the time of trouble.
Ũhonokio wa andũ arĩa athingu uumaga kũrĩ Jehova; we nĩwe kĩĩhitho kĩao kĩa hinya hĩndĩ ya mathĩĩna.
40 And the Lord will help them and deliver them: and he will rescue them from the wicked, and save them, because they have hoped in him.
Jehova nĩamateithagia na akamateithũra; amateithũraga kuuma kũrĩ andũ arĩa aaganu na akamahonokia, tondũ moragĩra harĩ we.
