Psalms 52
1 You people [think that you] are strong and brag about the sins that you have committed, while you plan to harm godly people.
Thaburi ya Daudi Wee njamba ĩno ĩrĩ hinya, ũreegana nĩ ũndũ wa maũndũ mooru nĩkĩ? Ũtindaga wĩrahĩte mũthenya wothe nĩkĩ, o wee ũtuĩkĩte gĩconoko maitho-nĩ ma Ngai?
2 All during the day you plan to get rid of [others]; what you say [MTY] [injures others] like a sharp razor [SIM], and you are [always] deceiving [others].
Rũrĩmĩ rwaku rũthugundaga mwanangĩko; rũhaana ta rwenji rũnoore, o wee wĩkaga maũndũ ma maheeni.
3 You like [doing what is] evil more than you like doing what is good, and you like telling lies more than you like telling the truth.
Wendete maũndũ mooru gũkĩra marĩa mega, ũkenda maheeni gũkĩra kwaria ma.
4 You who say things [MTY] to deceive people, you like to say (things that hurt people/cruel things)!
Wendete ciugo o ciothe ithũkagia andũ, wee rũrĩmĩ rũrũ rwa maheeni!
5 But God will get rid of you forever; he will grab you and drag you from your home and take you away from this world where people are alive.
Ti-itherũ Mũrungu nĩagakwananga nginya tene na tene: Agakũnyiita, akũhurie na akũrute hema-inĩ yaku; agakũmunya akweherie bũrũri wa arĩa marĩ muoyo.
6 When righteous [people] see that, they will be awestruck, and they will laugh at [what happened to] you, and say,
Andũ arĩa athingu nĩmakona ũguo metigĩre; nao magathekerera mũndũ ũcio, moige atĩrĩ,
7 “Look [what happened to] the man who would not ask God to protect him; he trusted that his great wealth [would save him]; he trusted in the money that he got by wickedly taking it from others!”
“Ũyũ nĩwe mũndũ ũrĩa wagire gũtua Ngai kĩĩhitho gĩake kĩa hinya, no eehokire ũtonga wake mũingĩ, na akĩgĩa hinya nĩ ũndũ wa kũniina andũ arĩa angĩ!”
8 But I am [secure/safe because I worship] in God’s temple; I am like a [strong] green olive tree. I trust in God, who faithfully loves us forever.
No rĩrĩ, niĩ ndariĩ ta mũtĩ wa mũtamaiyũ, ũrĩa ũrakũra wega ũrĩ thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ya Ngai; ndĩhokete wendo wa Ngai ũrĩa ũtathiraga nginya tene na tene.
9 God, I will always thank you for the things that you have done. As I stand before godly [people], I will proclaim that you are good (OR, the many good [MTY] [things you have done for us]).
Ngũtũũra ngũgoocaga nginya tene nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa wĩkĩte; ndĩrĩĩhokaga rĩĩtwa rĩaku, nĩgũkorwo rĩĩtwa rĩaku nĩ rĩega. Ndĩrĩkũgoocaga ndĩ mbere ya andũ aku arĩa aamũre.
