Psalms 79
1 A Psalm for Asaph. O God, the heathen are come into your inheritance; they have polluted your holy temple; they have made Jerusalem a storehouse of fruits.
Thaburi ya Asafu Wee Ngai, ndũrĩrĩ nĩitharĩkĩire igai rĩaku; nĩithaahĩtie hekarũ yaku theru, imomorete itũũra rĩa Jerusalemu rĩgatuĩka irũndo cia mahiga.
2 They have given the dead bodies of your servants [to be] food for the birds of the sky, the flesh of your holy ones for the wild beasts of the earth.
Ciimba cia ndungata ciaku macineanĩte ituĩke irio cia nyoni cia rĩera-inĩ, na mĩĩrĩ ya andũ aku aamũre makamĩheana kũrĩ nyamũ cia gĩthaka.
3 They have shed their blood as water, round about Jerusalem; and there was none to bury [them].
Maitĩte thakame ya andũ aku ta maaĩ Jerusalemu guothe, na gũtirĩ mũndũ wa gũthika arĩa makuĩte.
4 We are become a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and derision to them [that are] round about us.
Tũtuĩkĩte andũ a kũmenwo nĩ arĩa tũriganĩtie nao, tũgatuĩka andũ a kũnyararwo na gũthekererwo nĩ arĩa matũthiũrũrũkĩirie.
5 How long, O Lord? will you be angry for ever? shall your jealousy burn like fire?
Wee Jehova-rĩ, nĩ nginya rĩ? Ũgũtũũra ũrĩ mũrakaru nginya tene? Nĩ nginya rĩ ũiru waku ũgũtũũra wakanĩte ta mwaki?
6 Pour out your wrath upon the heathen that have not known you, and upon the kingdoms which have not called upon your name.
Itĩrĩria ndũrĩrĩ iria itakũũĩ mangʼũrĩ maku, ũmaitĩrĩrie mothamaki marĩa matakayagĩra rĩĩtwa rĩaku;
7 For they have devoured Jacob, and laid his place waste.
nĩgũkorwo nĩmatambuurĩte Jakubu na makaananga bũrũri wake.
8 Remember not our old transgressions; let your tender mercies speedily prevent us; for we are greatly impoverished.
Ndũgatũherithie nĩ ũndũ wa mehia ma maithe maitũ; tha ciaku irohiũha itũkinyĩrĩre, nĩgũkorwo tũrĩ ahinyĩrĩrĩku mũno.
9 Help us, O God our Saviour; for the glory of your name, O Lord, deliver us; and be merciful to our sins, for your name's sake.
Tũteithie, Wee Ngai Mũhonokia witũ; nĩ ũndũ wa riiri wa rĩĩtwa rĩaku; tũteithũre na ũtũrekere mehia maitũ nĩ ũndũ wa rĩĩtwa rĩaku.
10 Lets haply they should say among the heathen, Where is their God? and let the avenging of your servant's blood that has been shed be known among the heathen before our eyes.
Nĩ kĩĩ gĩgũtũma ndũrĩrĩ ciũrie atĩrĩ, “Ngai wao akĩrĩ ha?” Menyithania kũrĩ ndũrĩrĩ tũkĩĩonagĩra na maitho maitũ atĩ nĩũrĩhanagĩria thakame ya ndungata ciaku ĩrĩa ĩitĩtwo.
11 Let the groaning of the prisoners come in before you; according to the greatness of your arm preserve the sons of the slain ones.
Mũcaayo wa arĩa moohetwo njeera ũrogũkinyĩra; nĩ ũndũ wa hinya wa guoko gwaku gitĩra arĩa matuĩrĩirwo gũkua.
12 Repay to our neighbors sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, with which they have reproached you, O Lord.
Wĩrĩhĩrie maita mũgwanja harĩ ndũrĩrĩ iria tũriganĩtie nacio, nĩ ũndũ wa rũmena rũrĩa makũmenete naruo, Wee Mwathani.
13 For we are your people and the sheep of your pasture; we will give you thanks for ever; we will declare your praise throughout all generations.
Na ithuĩ andũ aku, o ithuĩ ngʼondu cia rũũru rwaku, tũkũgoocage nginya tene na tene; nĩtũrahage ũgooci waku, kuuma njiarwa na njiarwa.
