Psalms 73
1 A Psalme committed to Asaph. Yet God is good to Israel: euen, to the pure in heart.
Thaburi ya Asafu Ti-itherũ Ngai nĩ mwega harĩ andũ a Isiraeli, harĩ andũ arĩa atheru ngoro.
2 As for me, my feete were almost gone: my steps had well neere slipt.
No niĩ-rĩ, magũrũ makwa maratigĩtie hanini matenderũke; ndaarĩ o hakuhĩ kũgũa.
3 For I feared at the foolish, when I sawe the prosperitie of the wicked.
Nĩgũkorwo nĩndaiguagĩra arĩa etĩĩi ũiru, rĩrĩa ndonire kũgaacĩra kwa andũ arĩa aaganu.
4 For there are no bandes in their death, but they are lustie and strong.
Nĩgũkorwo matithĩĩnĩkaga; mĩĩrĩ yao nĩ mĩgima na ĩkoragwo na hinya.
5 They are not in trouble as other men, neither are they plagued with other men.
Matikoragwo na moritũ ta andũ arĩa angĩ, na matikoragwo nĩ mathĩĩna marĩa makoraga andũ.
6 Therefore pride is as a chayne vnto them, and crueltie couereth them as a garment.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mwĩtĩĩo nĩguo mũgathĩ wao; o ene mehumbaga ũhinya.
7 Their eyes stande out for fatnesse: they haue more then heart can wish.
Ũmũ wa ngoro ciao ũtherũkaga o ũmaramari; meciiria mao mooru matirĩ mũhaka.
8 They are licentious, and speake wickedly of their oppression: they talke presumptuously.
Nĩ andũ a kĩnyũrũri, na maaragia ndeto cia rũmena; maaragia na mwĩtĩĩo ũhoro wa kũhinyĩrĩria andũ arĩa angĩ.
9 They set their mouth against heauen, and their tongue walketh through the earth.
Tũnua twao twaragia ũũru wa gũũkĩrĩra igũrũ, nacio nĩmĩ ciao ikegwatĩra thĩ yothe.
10 Therefore his people turne hither: for waters of a full cup are wrung out to them.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ ao nĩmakamacokerera na metĩkie ũrĩa wothe makoiga.
11 And they say, Howe doeth God know it? or is there knowledge in the most High?
Makoiga atĩrĩ, “Mũrungu angĩmenya atĩa? Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno nĩarĩ na ũmenyo?”
12 Lo, these are the wicked, yet prosper they alway, and increase in riches.
Ũũ nĩguo andũ arĩa aaganu matariĩ: tondũ gũtirĩ ũndũ ũmamakagia, makĩragĩrĩria o gũtonga.
13 Certainely I haue clensed mine heart in vaine, and washed mine hands in innocencie.
Ti-itherũ, nĩnjigĩte ngoro yakwa ĩrĩ theru o tũhũ; thambĩtie moko makwa makaaga gwĩka ũũru o tũhũ.
14 For dayly haue I bene punished, and chastened euery morning.
Nĩgũkorwo ndindaga na mĩnyamaro mũthenya wothe; herithĩtio rũciinĩ o rũciinĩ.
15 If I say, I will iudge thus, beholde the generation of thy children: I haue trespassed.
Ingĩoigire atĩrĩ, “Nĩngwaria o ũũ,” nĩingĩakunyanĩire ciana ciaku.
16 Then thought I to know this, but it was too painefull for me,
No rĩrĩa ndageragia gũtaũkĩrwo nĩ ũhoro ũcio wothe, watuĩkire wa kũũhinyĩrĩria,
17 Vntill I went into the Sanctuarie of God: then vnderstoode I their ende.
o nginya rĩrĩa ndatoonyire handũ-harĩa-haamũre ha Mũrungu; hĩndĩ ĩyo ngĩkĩmenya ũrĩa makaarĩkĩrĩria.
18 Surely thou hast set them in slipperie places, and castest them downe into desolation.
Ti-itherũ ũmaigaga kũndũ kũrĩa gũtenderũ; ũmagũithagia thĩ makaanangĩka.
19 How suddenly are they destroyed, perished and horribly consumed,
Hĩ! Kaĩ nĩmakanangwo o rĩmwe-ĩ! Makaaniinwo biũ nĩ imakania!
20 As a dreame when one awaketh! O Lord, when thou raisest vs vp, thou shalt make their image despised.
O ta ũrĩa kĩroto gĩthiraga mũndũ okĩra, no taguo makahaana rĩrĩa Wee Mwathani ũkaarahũka, ũkaamaagĩra bata o ta irooto.
21 Certainely mine heart was vexed, and I was pricked in my reines:
Rĩrĩa ngoro yakwa yarĩ na kĩeha na roho wakwa ũgatuurwo,
22 So foolish was I and ignorant: I was a beast before thee.
ndiarĩ na meciiria magima, na ndiarĩ na ũmenyo; ndahaanaga o ta nyamũ ndĩ mbere yaku.
23 Yet I was alway with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand.
No rĩrĩ, ngoragwo nawe hĩndĩ ciothe; nĩũũnyiitĩte guoko gwakwa kwa ũrĩo.
24 Thou wilt guide me by thy counsell, and afterward receiue me to glory.
Nĩũndongoragia na ũtaaro waku, na thuutha ũcio nĩũkanyamũkĩra riiri-inĩ waku.
25 Whom haue I in heauen but thee? and I haue desired none in the earth with thee.
Nũũ ũngĩ ndĩ nake kũu igũrũ tiga Wee? Gũkũ thĩ ndirĩ na kĩndũ ĩngĩĩrirĩria tiga o Wee.
26 My flesh fayleth and mine heart also: but God is the strength of mine heart, and my portion for euer.
Mwĩrĩ wakwa na ngoro yakwa no ciage hinya, no rĩrĩ, Ngai nĩwe hinya wa ngoro yakwa, na nĩwe rwĩga rwakwa nginya tene.
27 For loe, they that withdrawe themselues from thee, shall perish: thou destroyest all them that goe a whoring from thee.
Ti-itherũ arĩa magũtiganagĩria nĩmagathira; nĩũkanangaga arĩa othe matakwĩhokete.
28 As for me, it is good for me to draw neere to God: therefore I haue put my trust in the Lord God, that I may declare all thy workes.
No ha ũhoro wakwa-rĩ, nĩ wega gũkuhĩrĩria Ngai. Nĩnduĩte Mwathani Jehova rĩũrĩro rĩakwa; nĩndĩrĩheanaga ũhoro wa ciĩko ciaku ciothe.
