< Psalms 94 >
1 O Lord God, to whom vengeance belongs; O God, to whom vengeance belongs, show yourself.
Wee Jehova, o Wee Mũrungu ũrĩa ũrĩhanagĩria, Wee Mũrungu ũrĩa ũrĩhanagĩria-rĩ, cangarara.
2 Lift up yourself, you judge of 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 LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?
Wee Jehova-rĩ, nĩ nginya rĩ andũ arĩa aaganu megũtũũra makenete, nĩ nginya rĩ andũ arĩa aaganu megũtũũra marũũhagia?
4 How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
Maaragia ndeto cia mwĩgaatho; andũ arĩa othe meekaga ũũru, o maiyũrĩtwo nĩ mwĩtĩĩo.
5 They break in pieces your people, O LORD, and afflict your heritage.
Mahehenjaga andũ aku, Wee Jehova, makahinyĩrĩria igai rĩaku.
6 They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.
Mooragaga mũtumia wa ndigwa, na mũndũ wa kũngĩ; mooragaga ciana iria itarĩ maithe.
7 Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it.
Moigaga atĩrĩ, “Jehova ndangĩona; Ngai wa Jakubu-rĩ, ndangĩrũmbũiya.”
8 Understand, all of you brutish among the people: and all of you fools, when will all of you be wise?
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? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?
Ũrĩa wombire gũtũ-rĩ, ndangĩigua? Ũcio wombire riitho-rĩ, ndangĩona?
10 He that chastises the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teaches man knowledge, shall not he know?
Ũcio ũrũithagia ndũrĩrĩ-rĩ, ndangĩherithania? O ũcio ũrutaga andũ-rĩ, ndarĩ ũmenyo?
11 The LORD knows the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
Jehova nĩoĩ meciiria ma mũndũ; ĩĩ, oĩ atĩ meciiria mao nĩ ma tũhũ.
12 Blessed is the man whom you chasten, O LORD, and teach him out of your law;
Wee Jehova, kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa Wee ũtaaraga, o mũndũ ũcio ũrutaga watho waku;
13 That you may give him rest from the days of adversity, until the 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 inheritance.
Nĩgũkorwo Jehova ndagatiganĩria andũ ake; igai rĩake ndarĩ hĩndĩ angĩrĩtirika.
15 But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it.
Ũtuanĩri ciira wa kĩhooto nĩũgakwo rĩngĩ igũrũ rĩa ũthingu, nao andũ othe arĩa arũngĩrĩru ngoro maũrũmagĩrĩre.
16 Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for 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 help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.
Tiga Jehova aandeithirie-rĩ, ingĩakuire o narua, ngatũũre kũu ũkiri-inĩ.
18 When I said, My foot slips; your mercy, O LORD, held me up.
Rĩrĩa ndoigire atĩrĩ, “Kũgũrũ gwakwa nĩkũratenderũka,” wendani waku, Wee Jehova, nĩwandiirĩrĩire.
19 In the multitude of my thoughts within me your comforts delight my soul.
Rĩrĩa mĩtangĩko yaingĩhire thĩinĩ wakwa-rĩ, Wee wahooreririe, ũgĩkenia ngoro yakwa.
20 Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with you, which frames mischief by a law?
Gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene kĩa ungumania-rĩ, hihi no kĩgĩe na ngwatanĩro nawe, o kĩrĩa kĩrehanagĩra mĩnyamaro nĩ ũndũ wa matuĩro ma kĩo?
21 They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.
Monganaga hamwe nĩguo mokĩrĩre mũndũ ũrĩa mũthingu, na magatuĩra mũndũ ũtehĩtie ooragwo.
22 But the LORD is my defence; and my God is the rock of my refuge.
No Jehova nĩwe ũtuĩkĩte kĩirigo gĩakwa kĩa hinya, na Ngai wakwa, o we rwaro rwakwa rwa ihiga harĩa njũragĩra.
23 And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; yea, the LORD our God shall cut them off.
We nĩakamaherithia nĩ ũndũ wa mehia mao na amaniine nĩ ũndũ wa waganu wao; Jehova Ngai witũ nĩakamaniina.
