Psalms 58
1 For the Leader; Al-tashheth. A Psalm of David; Michtam. Do ye indeed speak as a righteous company? Do ye judge with equity the sons of men?
Thaburi ya Daudi Inyuĩ aathani aya-rĩ, ti-itherũ nĩmwaragia maũndũ ma kĩhooto? Nĩmũtuagĩra andũ ciira ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire na kĩhooto?
2 Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh out in the earth the violence of your hands.
Aca, ngoro-inĩ cianyu mũthugundaga maũndũ matarĩ ma kĩhooto, na moko manyu mageeka maũndũ ma kũruta haaro gũkũ thĩ.
3 The wicked are estranged from the womb; the speakers of lies go astray as soon as they are born.
O kuuma gũciarwo andũ arĩa aaganu nĩmahĩtagia njĩra; matũũraga marĩ imaramari kuuma gũciarwo, na maaragia maheeni.
4 Their venom is like the venom of a serpent; they are like the deaf asp that stoppeth her ear;
Ũrũrũ wao nĩ ta ũrũrũ wa nyoka, ũhaana ta thumu wa nduĩra ĩthingĩte matũ mayo,
5 Which hearkeneth not to the voice of charmers, or of the most cunning binder of spells.
ĩrĩa ĩtangĩigua rwĩmbo rwa mũmĩthuuthĩri, o na angĩkorwo aramĩthuuthĩra arĩ na ũũgĩ mũnene atĩa.
6 Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth; break out the cheek-teeth of the young lions, O LORD.
Wee Ngai, unanga magego marĩa marĩ tũnua twao; Wee Jehova, munya mĩthangiri ya mĩrũũthi ĩyo!
7 Let them melt away as water that runneth apace; when he aimeth his arrows, let them be as though they were cut off.
Nĩmabuĩrie o ta maaĩ marĩa mathereraga makabuĩria; rĩrĩa magereka ũta-rĩ, mĩguĩ yao nĩĩkoragwo ĩrĩ mĩtuuhu.
8 Let them be as a snail which melteth and passeth away; like the untimely births of a woman, that have not seen the sun.
Marotuĩka ta ndinoho ĩrĩa ĩtwekaga o ĩgĩthiiaga, matuĩke ta kĩhuno kĩrĩa gĩtoonaga riũa.
9 Before your pots can feel the thorns, He will sweep it away with a whirlwind, the raw and the burning alike.
Andũ arĩa aaganu makeeherio narua, gũkĩra ũrĩa nyũngũ cianyu ingĩhiũhio nĩ mwaki wa mĩigua, ĩrĩ mĩigũ kana ĩrĩ mĩũmũ.
10 The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance; he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
Andũ arĩa athingu nĩmagakena maarĩhĩrio, rĩrĩa magathambia nyarĩrĩ ciao thakame-inĩ ya arĩa aaganu.
11 And men shall say: 'Verily there is a reward for the righteous; verily there is a God that judgeth in the earth.'
Hĩndĩ ĩyo andũ nĩmakoiga atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ nĩ kũrĩ na irĩhi rĩa arĩa athingu; ti-itherũ nĩ kũrĩ Ngai ũrĩa ũtuagĩra andũ a thĩ ciira.”
