< Psalms 52 >
1 For the chief musician. A maschil of David; when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said to him, “David has come to the house of Ahimelech.” Why are you proud of making trouble, you mighty man? The covenant faithfulness of God comes every day.
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 Your tongue plans destruction like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
Rũrĩmĩ rwaku rũthugundaga mwanangĩko; rũhaana ta rwenji rũnoore, o wee wĩkaga maũndũ ma maheeni.
3 You love evil more than good and lying rather than speaking righteousness. (Selah)
Wendete maũndũ mooru gũkĩra marĩa mega, ũkenda maheeni gũkĩra kwaria ma.
4 You love all words that devour others, you deceitful tongue.
Wendete ciugo o ciothe ithũkagia andũ, wee rũrĩmĩ rũrũ rwa maheeni!
5 God will likewise destroy you forever; he will take you up and pluck you out of your tent and root you out of the land of the living. (Selah)
Ti-itherũ Mũrungu nĩagakwananga nginya tene na tene: Agakũnyiita, akũhurie na akũrute hema-inĩ yaku; agakũmunya akweherie bũrũri wa arĩa marĩ muoyo.
6 The righteous will also see it and fear; they will laugh at him and say,
Andũ arĩa athingu nĩmakona ũguo metigĩre; nao magathekerera mũndũ ũcio, moige atĩrĩ,
7 “See, this is a man who did not make God his refuge, but he trusted in the abundance of his wealth, and he was strong when he destroyed 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 as for me, I am like a green olive tree in God's house; I will trust in the covenant faithfulness of God forever and ever.
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 I will give you thanks forever for what you have done. I will wait for your name, because it is good, in the presence of your godly people.
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.
