Psalms 37
1 [A Psalm] of David. Fret not yourself because of evil-doers, neither be envious of them that do 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 soon be withered as the grass, and shall soon fall away as the green herbs.
nĩgũkorwo acio makaahooha o narua o ta ũrĩa nyeki ĩhoohaga, na makue narua o ta ũrĩa riya rĩhoohaga rĩamunywo.
3 Hope in the Lord, and do good; and dwell on the land, and you shall be fed with the wealth of it.
Wĩhoke Jehova na wĩkage wega; tũũra bũrũri-inĩ ũkenagĩra ũrĩithio wa thayũ.
4 Delight [yourself] in the Lord; and he shall grant you the requests of your heart.
Ĩkaga maũndũ ma gũkenia Jehova, na nĩarĩkũhingagĩria merirĩria ma ngoro yaku.
5 Disclose your way to the Lord, and hope in him; and he shall bring [it] to pass.
Rekagĩrĩria Jehova njĩra yaku; mwĩhokage o we, nake nĩarĩĩkaga maũndũ maya:
6 And he shall bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your judgment as the noon-day.
Nĩarĩtũmaga ũthingu waku ware o ta rũciinĩ, nakĩo kĩhooto gĩa ciira waku kĩare o ta riũa rĩa mũthenya barigici.
7 Submit yourself to the Lord, and supplicate him: fret not yourself because of him that prospers in his way, at the man that does unlawful deeds.
Hoorera mbere ya Jehova na ũmweterere ũtegũthethũka; ndũgathĩĩnĩke ngoro rĩrĩa andũ magaacĩra mĩthiĩre-inĩ yao, rĩrĩa mekũhingia mathugunda mao ma gwĩka ũũru.
8 ease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not yourself so as to do evil.
Tigaga kũrakara na wĩrigagĩrĩrie mangʼũrĩ; tigaga gũthĩĩnĩka ngoro, tondũ ũndũ ũcio no ũtũme wĩke ũũru.
9 For evil-doers shall be destroyed: but they that wait on the Lord, they shall inherit the land.
Nĩgũkorwo andũ ooru nĩmakaniinwo, no arĩa mehokete Jehova nĩmakagaya bũrũri.
10 And yet a little while, and the sinner shall not be, and you shall seek for his place, and shall not find [it].
No kahinda kanini, arĩa aaganu mage kuoneka rĩngĩ; o na mũngĩmacaria, mũtingĩmoona.
11 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight [themselves] in the abundance of peace.
No arĩa ahooreri nĩo makaagaya bũrũri, na matũũre makenete nĩkũingĩhĩrwo nĩ thayũ.
12 The sinner will watch for the righteous, and gnash his teeth upon him.
Andũ arĩa aaganu mathugundaga mokĩrĩre andũ arĩa athingu, na makamahagaranĩria magego;
13 But the Lord shall laugh at him: for he foresees that his day will come.
no Mwathani athekagĩrĩra andũ acio aaganu, nĩgũkorwo nĩoĩ mũthenya wao nĩũrooka.
14 Sinners have drawn their swords, they have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy one, [and] to kill the upright in 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] heart, and their bows be broken.
No hiũ icio ciao cia njora igaatheeca ngoro ciao ene, na mota mao moinangwo.
16 A little is better to the righteous than abundant wealth of sinners.
Nĩ kaba kĩndũ kĩnini kĩrĩ na andũ arĩa athingu, gũkĩra ũtonga mũingĩ wa andũ aaganu;
17 For the arms of sinners shall be broken; but the Lord supports the righteous.
nĩgũkorwo hinya wa andũ arĩa aaganu nĩũkaniinwo, no Jehova atiiragĩrĩra andũ arĩa athingu.
18 The Lord knows the ways of the perfect; 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 ashamed in an evil time; and in days of famine they shall be satisfied.
Hĩndĩ ya mwanangĩko matikoona ũũru; na hĩndĩ ya ngʼaragu magaakorwo na irio cia kũigana.
20 For the sinners shall perish; and the enemies of the Lord at the moment of their being honored and exalted have utterly vanished 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 borrows, and will not pay again: but the righteous has compassion, and gives.
Andũ arĩa aaganu makoombaga na matirĩhaga, no arĩa athingu maheanaga na ũtaana;
22 For they that bless him shall inherit the earth; and they that curse him shall be utterly destroyed.
andũ arĩa Jehova arathimĩte nĩmakagaya bũrũri, no arĩa arumĩte nĩmakaniinwo.
23 The steps of a man are rightly ordered by the Lord: and he will take pleasure in his way.
Jehova angĩkenio nĩ mũthiĩre wa mũndũ, atũmaga makinya make marũme wega;
24 When he falls, he shall not be ruined: for the Lord supports his hand.
o na angĩhĩngwo, ndangĩgũa, nĩgũkorwo Jehova amũnyiitagĩrĩra na guoko gwake.
25 I was [once] young, indeed I am now old; yet I have not seen the righteous 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 is merciful, and lends continually; and his seed shall be blessed.
Hĩndĩ ciothe makoragwo marĩ ataana, na makombanagĩra matekwenda uumithio; ciana ciao nĩ ikaarathimwo.
27 Turn aside from evil, and do good; and dwell for ever.
Theemaga ũũru, na wĩkage wega, nawe ũtũũre bũrũri-inĩ nginya tene.
28 For the Lord loves judgment, and will not forsake his saints; they shall be preserved for ever: the blameless shall be avenged, but the seed of the ungodly shall be utterly destroyed.
Nĩgũkorwo Jehova endete o kĩhooto, na ndagatiganĩria arĩa ake ehokeku. Acio megũtũũra magitĩirwo nginya tene, no ciana cia arĩa aaganu nĩikaniinwo.
29 But the righteous shall inherit the earth, and dwell upon it for ever.
Andũ arĩa athingu nĩo makaagaya bũrũri, na matũũre kuo nginya tene.
30 The mouth of the righteous will meditate wisdom, and his tongue will speak of 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 slide.
Watho wa Ngai wake ũrĩ o ngoro-inĩ yake; makinya make matingĩtenderũka.
32 The sinner watches the righteous, and seeks to kill him.
Andũ arĩa aaganu maikaraga moheirie arĩa athingu, magĩcaria o ũrĩa mangĩmooraga;
33 But the Lord will not leave him in his hands, nor by any means condemn him when he is judged.
no Jehova ndakamatiganĩria moko-inĩ ma andũ acio aaganu, kana areke matuĩrwo atĩ nĩ ehia rĩrĩa magaaciirithio.
34 Wait on the Lord, and keep his way, and he shall exalt you to inherit the land: when the wicked are destroyed, you shall see [it].
Etagĩrĩra Jehova na ũrũmagĩrĩre njĩra yake. Nĩagagũtũũgĩria nĩguo ũgae bũrũri; rĩrĩa andũ arĩa aaganu makaaniinwo-rĩ, wee nĩũkeyonera ũndũ ũcio.
35 I saw the ungodly very highly exalting himself, and lifting himself up like the cedars of Libanus.
Nĩnyonete mũndũ mwaganu na mũndũ ũtarĩ tha agaacĩire ta mũtĩ mũruru ũrĩ o imerero-inĩ rĩaguo,
36 Yet I passed by, and behold! he was not: and I sought him, but his place was not found.
no thuutha wa kahinda o kanini akĩehera, akĩaga gũkorwo ho rĩngĩ; o na gũtuĩka nĩndamũcaririe, ndiigana kũmuona.
37 Maintain innocence, and behold uprightness: for there is a remnant to the peaceful 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 transgressors shall be utterly destroyed together: the remnants of the ungodly shall be utterly destroyed.
No rĩrĩ, andũ arĩa ehia othe nĩmakaniinwo; no andũ arĩa aaganu mũthia wao nĩ kũũragwo makooragwo.
39 But the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord; and he is their defender in the time of affliction.
Ũhonokio wa andũ arĩa athingu uumaga kũrĩ Jehova; we nĩwe kĩĩhitho kĩao kĩa hinya hĩndĩ ya mathĩĩna.
40 And the Lord shall help them, and deliver them: and he shall rescue them from sinners, 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.
