< Psalms 94 >

1 The Lord is the God to whom revenge belongeth: the God of revenge hath acted freely.
Wee Jehova, o Wee Mũrungu ũrĩa ũrĩhanagĩria, Wee Mũrungu ũrĩa ũrĩhanagĩria-rĩ, cangarara.
2 Lift up thyself, thou that judgest the earth: render a reward to the proud.
Arahũka, Wee mũtuanĩri ciira wa andũ othe a thĩ; kĩrĩhe andũ arĩa etĩĩi o kĩrĩa kĩmagĩrĩire.
3 How long shall sinners, O Lord: how long shall sinners glory?
Wee Jehova-rĩ, nĩ nginya rĩ andũ arĩa aaganu megũtũũra makenete, nĩ nginya rĩ andũ arĩa aaganu megũtũũra marũũhagia?
4 Shall they utter, and speak iniquity: shall all speak who work injustice?
Maaragia ndeto cia mwĩgaatho; andũ arĩa othe meekaga ũũru, o maiyũrĩtwo nĩ mwĩtĩĩo.
5 Thy people, O Lord, they have brought low: and they have afflicted thy inheritance.
Mahehenjaga andũ aku, Wee Jehova, makahinyĩrĩria igai rĩaku.
6 They have slain the widow and the stranger: and they have murdered the fatherless.
Mooragaga mũtumia wa ndigwa, na mũndũ wa kũngĩ; mooragaga ciana iria itarĩ maithe.
7 And they have said: The Lord shall not see: neither shall the God of Jacob understand.
Moigaga atĩrĩ, “Jehova ndangĩona; Ngai wa Jakubu-rĩ, ndangĩrũmbũiya.”
8 Understand, ye senseless among the people: and, you fools, be wise at last.
Mwĩmenyererei inyuĩ arĩa mwagĩte ũũgĩ mũrĩ gatagatĩ-inĩ ka andũ; inyuĩ andũ aya akĩĩgu, mũgaakĩũhĩga rĩ?
9 He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? or he that formed the eye, doth he not consider?
Ũrĩa wombire gũtũ-rĩ, ndangĩigua? Ũcio wombire riitho-rĩ, ndangĩona?
10 He that chastiseth nations, shall he not rebuke: he that teacheth man knowledge?
Ũcio ũrũithagia ndũrĩrĩ-rĩ, ndangĩherithania? O ũcio ũrutaga andũ-rĩ, ndarĩ ũmenyo?
11 The Lord knoweth the thoughts of men, that they are vain.
Jehova nĩoĩ meciiria ma mũndũ; ĩĩ, oĩ atĩ meciiria mao nĩ ma tũhũ.
12 Blessed is the man whom thou shalt instruct, O Lord: and shalt teach him out of thy law.
Wee Jehova, kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa Wee ũtaaraga, o mũndũ ũcio ũrutaga watho waku;
13 That thou mayst give him rest from the evil days: till a pit be dug for the wicked.
nĩũgaatũma ahoorere matukũ-inĩ ma thĩĩna, o nginya rĩrĩa mũndũ ũrĩa mwaganu akenjerwo irima.
14 For the Lord will not cast off his people: neither will he forsake his own inheritance.
Nĩgũkorwo Jehova ndagatiganĩria andũ ake; igai rĩake ndarĩ hĩndĩ angĩrĩtirika.
15 Until justice be turned into judgment: and they that are near it are all the upright in heart.
Ũtuanĩri ciira wa kĩhooto nĩũgakwo rĩngĩ igũrũ rĩa ũthingu, nao andũ othe arĩa arũngĩrĩru ngoro maũrũmagĩrĩre.
16 Who shall rise up for me against the evildoers? or who shall stand with me against the workers of iniquity?
Nũũ ũkwarahũka, andũĩrĩre harĩ arĩa aaganu? Nũũ ũkũndũgamĩrĩra, andũĩrĩre harĩ arĩa meekaga ũũru?
17 Unless the Lord had been my helper, my soul had almost dwelt in hell. (questioned)
Tiga Jehova aandeithirie-rĩ, ingĩakuire o narua, ngatũũre kũu ũkiri-inĩ.
18 If I said: My foot is moved: thy mercy, O Lord, assisted me.
Rĩrĩa ndoigire atĩrĩ, “Kũgũrũ gwakwa nĩkũratenderũka,” wendani waku, Wee Jehova, nĩwandiirĩrĩire.
19 According to the multitude of my sorrows in my heart, thy comforts have given joy to my soul.
Rĩrĩa mĩtangĩko yaingĩhire thĩinĩ wakwa-rĩ, Wee wahooreririe, ũgĩkenia ngoro yakwa.
20 Doth the seat of iniquity stick to thee, who framest labour in commandment?
Gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene kĩa ungumania-rĩ, hihi no kĩgĩe na ngwatanĩro nawe, o kĩrĩa kĩrehanagĩra mĩnyamaro nĩ ũndũ wa matuĩro ma kĩo?
21 They will hunt after the soul of the just, and will condemn innocent blood.
Monganaga hamwe nĩguo mokĩrĩre mũndũ ũrĩa mũthingu, na magatuĩra mũndũ ũtehĩtie ooragwo.
22 But the Lord is my refuge: and my God the help of my hope.
No Jehova nĩwe ũtuĩkĩte kĩirigo gĩakwa kĩa hinya, na Ngai wakwa, o we rwaro rwakwa rwa ihiga harĩa njũragĩra.
23 And he will render them their iniquity: and in their malice he will destroy them: the Lord our God will destroy them.
We nĩakamaherithia nĩ ũndũ wa mehia mao na amaniine nĩ ũndũ wa waganu wao; Jehova Ngai witũ nĩakamaniina.
