Psalms 73
1 A PSALM OF ASAPH. Surely God [is] good to Israel, to the clean of heart. And I—as a little thing, My feet have been turned aside,
Thaburi ya Asafu Ti-itherũ Ngai nĩ mwega harĩ andũ a Isiraeli, harĩ andũ arĩa atheru ngoro.
2 As nothing, my steps have slipped, For I have been envious of the boastful,
No niĩ-rĩ, magũrũ makwa maratigĩtie hanini matenderũke; ndaarĩ o hakuhĩ kũgũa.
3 I see the peace of the wicked, That there are no bands at their death,
Nĩgũkorwo nĩndaiguagĩra arĩa etĩĩi ũiru, rĩrĩa ndonire kũgaacĩra kwa andũ arĩa aaganu.
4 And their might [is] firm.
Nĩgũkorwo matithĩĩnĩkaga; mĩĩrĩ yao nĩ mĩgima na ĩkoragwo na hinya.
5 They are not in the misery of mortals, And they are not plagued with common men.
Matikoragwo na moritũ ta andũ arĩa angĩ, na matikoragwo nĩ mathĩĩna marĩa makoraga andũ.
6 Therefore pride has encircled them, Violence covers them as a dress.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mwĩtĩĩo nĩguo mũgathĩ wao; o ene mehumbaga ũhinya.
7 Their eye has come out from fat. The imaginations of the heart transgressed;
Ũmũ wa ngoro ciao ũtherũkaga o ũmaramari; meciiria mao mooru matirĩ mũhaka.
8 They do corruptly, And they speak in the wickedness of oppression, They speak from on high.
Nĩ andũ a kĩnyũrũri, na maaragia ndeto cia rũmena; maaragia na mwĩtĩĩo ũhoro wa kũhinyĩrĩria andũ arĩa angĩ.
9 They have set their mouth in the heavens, And their tongue walks in the earth.
Tũnua twao twaragia ũũru wa gũũkĩrĩra igũrũ, nacio nĩmĩ ciao ikegwatĩra thĩ yothe.
10 Therefore His people return here, And waters of fullness are wrung out to them.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ ao nĩmakamacokerera na metĩkie ũrĩa wothe makoiga.
11 And they have said, “How has God known? And is there knowledge in the Most High?”
Makoiga atĩrĩ, “Mũrungu angĩmenya atĩa? Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno nĩarĩ na ũmenyo?”
12 Behold, these [are] the wicked and easy ones of the age, They have increased strength.
Ũũ nĩguo andũ arĩa aaganu matariĩ: tondũ gũtirĩ ũndũ ũmamakagia, makĩragĩrĩria o gũtonga.
13 Only—a vain thing! I have purified my heart, And I wash my hands in innocence,
Ti-itherũ, nĩnjigĩte ngoro yakwa ĩrĩ theru o tũhũ; thambĩtie moko makwa makaaga gwĩka ũũru o tũhũ.
14 And I am plagued all the day, And my reproof—every morning.
Nĩgũkorwo ndindaga na mĩnyamaro mũthenya wothe; herithĩtio rũciinĩ o rũciinĩ.
15 If I have said, “I recount thus,” Behold, I have deceived a generation of Your sons.
Ingĩoigire atĩrĩ, “Nĩngwaria o ũũ,” nĩingĩakunyanĩire ciana ciaku.
16 And I think to know this, It [is] perverseness in my eyes,
No rĩrĩa ndageragia gũtaũkĩrwo nĩ ũhoro ũcio wothe, watuĩkire wa kũũhinyĩrĩria,
17 Until I come into the sanctuaries of God, I attend to their latter end.
o nginya rĩrĩa ndatoonyire handũ-harĩa-haamũre ha Mũrungu; hĩndĩ ĩyo ngĩkĩmenya ũrĩa makaarĩkĩrĩria.
18 Surely You set them in slippery places, You have caused them to fall to desolations.
Ti-itherũ ũmaigaga kũndũ kũrĩa gũtenderũ; ũmagũithagia thĩ makaanangĩka.
19 How they have become a desolation as in a moment, They have been ended—consumed from terrors.
Hĩ! Kaĩ nĩmakanangwo o rĩmwe-ĩ! Makaaniinwo biũ nĩ imakania!
20 As a dream from awakening, O Lord, In awaking, You despise their image.
O ta ũrĩa kĩroto gĩthiraga mũndũ okĩra, no taguo makahaana rĩrĩa Wee Mwathani ũkaarahũka, ũkaamaagĩra bata o ta irooto.
21 For my heart shows itself violent, And my reins prick themselves,
Rĩrĩa ngoro yakwa yarĩ na kĩeha na roho wakwa ũgatuurwo,
22 And I am brutish, and do not know. I have been a beast with You.
ndiarĩ na meciiria magima, na ndiarĩ na ũmenyo; ndahaanaga o ta nyamũ ndĩ mbere yaku.
23 And I [am] continually with You, You have laid hold on my right hand.
No rĩrĩ, ngoragwo nawe hĩndĩ ciothe; nĩũũnyiitĩte guoko gwakwa kwa ũrĩo.
24 You lead me with Your counsel, And after, receive me [to] glory.
Nĩũndongoragia na ũtaaro waku, na thuutha ũcio nĩũkanyamũkĩra riiri-inĩ waku.
25 Whom do I have in the heavens? And none have I desired in earth [besides] You.
Nũũ ũngĩ ndĩ nake kũu igũrũ tiga Wee? Gũkũ thĩ ndirĩ na kĩndũ ĩngĩĩrirĩria tiga o Wee.
26 My flesh and my heart have been consumed, God [is] the rock of my heart and my portion for all time.
Mwĩrĩ wakwa na ngoro yakwa no ciage hinya, no rĩrĩ, Ngai nĩwe hinya wa ngoro yakwa, na nĩwe rwĩga rwakwa nginya tene.
27 For behold, those far from You perish, You have cut off everyone, Who is going whoring from You.
Ti-itherũ arĩa magũtiganagĩria nĩmagathira; nĩũkanangaga arĩa othe matakwĩhokete.
28 And [the] nearness of God to me [is] good, I have placed my refuge in Lord YHWH, To recount all Your works!
No ha ũhoro wakwa-rĩ, nĩ wega gũkuhĩrĩria Ngai. Nĩnduĩte Mwathani Jehova rĩũrĩro rĩakwa; nĩndĩrĩheanaga ũhoro wa ciĩko ciaku ciothe.
