Thaburi 10
1 Wee Jehova, ũkũrũgama haraaya nĩkĩ? Wĩhithaga nĩkĩ hĩndĩ ya mathĩĩna?
Why, YHWH, do You stand at a distance? Do You hide in times of adversity?
2 Mũndũ ũrĩa mwaganu etĩĩaga rĩrĩa ekũhĩta andũ arĩa matarĩ hinya, rĩrĩa magwatio nĩ mĩbango ĩyo mathugundĩte.
Through the pride of the wicked, Is the poor inflamed, They are caught in schemes that they devised.
3 Mũndũ ũrĩa mwaganu erahagĩra merirĩria ma ngoro yake; arathimaga andũ arĩa akoroku, na akaruma Jehova.
Because the wicked has boasted Of the desire of his soul, And he has blessed a dishonest gainer, He has despised YHWH.
4 Mũndũ ũcio mwĩtĩĩi ndarongoragia Ngai; meciiria-inĩ make mothe ndeciiragia ũhoro wa Ngai.
The wicked does not inquire according to the height of his face. “There is no God!” [are] all his schemes.
5 Njĩra ciake ciikaraga igaacĩire hĩndĩ ciothe; we nĩ mwĩtĩĩi mũno, namo mawatho maku nĩmamũraihĩrĩirie; we nĩkũnyũrũria anyũrũragia arĩa marĩ ũthũ nake.
His ways writhe at all times, Your judgments [are] on high before him, All his adversaries—he puffs at them.
6 Eĩĩraga na ngoro yake atĩrĩ, “Gũtirĩ ũndũ ũngĩnyinainia; ndĩrĩkoragwo ndĩ mũkenu hĩndĩ ciothe na gũtirĩ hĩndĩ ngoona thĩĩna.”
He has said in his heart, “I am not moved, [And am] not in calamity to generation and generation.”
7 Kanua gake kaiyũrĩte irumi na maheeni, o na kũguoyohithania; mĩtangĩko na mĩario mĩũru ĩrĩ rũrĩmĩ-inĩ rwake.
His mouth is full of oaths, And deceits, and fraud: Under his tongue [is] perverseness and iniquity,
8 Aikaraga oheirie andũ hakuhĩ na matũũra: ageterera arĩa matarĩ na ũũru akamooraga, aikaraga acũthĩrĩirie na hitho mũndũ ũrĩa ũtarĩ na mũmũteithia.
He sits in an ambush of the villages, He slays the innocent in secret places. His eyes secretly watch for the afflicted,
9 Aikaraga oheirie o ta mũrũũthi ũrĩ kĩmamo-inĩ kĩaguo; agaikara oheirie nĩguo anyiite arĩa matarĩ na hinya; anyiitaga arĩa matarĩ na hinya, akamakururia akamatwara mũtego-inĩ wake.
He lies in wait in a secret place, as a lion in a covert. He lies in wait to catch the poor, He catches the poor, drawing him into his net.
10 Ahehenjaga andũ acio matarĩ na wa kũmateithia, makaringĩka; magũũaga thĩ nĩ ũndũ wa hinya wake.
He is bruised—he bows down, The afflicted has fallen by his mighty ones.
11 Eĩĩraga na ngoro atĩrĩ, “Mũrungu nĩariganĩirwo: nĩehumbĩrĩte ũthiũ na ndoonaga.”
He said in his heart, “God has forgotten, He has hid His face, He has never seen.”
12 Arahũka, Jehova! Ambararia guoko gwaku na igũrũ, Wee Mũrungu. Tiga kũriganĩrwo nĩ arĩa matarĩ na hinya.
Arise, O YHWH! O God, lift up Your hand! Do not forget the humble.
13 Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmaga mũndũ ũrĩa mwaganu arume Ngai? Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmaga eĩĩre na ngoro atĩrĩ, “We ndangĩrĩhania?”
Why has the wicked despised God? He has said in his heart, “It is not required.”
14 No rĩrĩ, Wee Ngai, Wee nĩwonaga mathĩĩna o na kĩeha, ũkoona ũhoro ũcio ũkawamũkĩra moko-inĩ maku. Mũndũ ũrĩa ũtarĩ wa kũmũteithia eneanaga harĩwe. Wee nĩwe mũteithia wa andũ arĩa matarĩ maithe mao.
You have seen, For You behold perverseness and anger; By giving into Your hand, The afflicted leave [it] on You, You have been a helper of the fatherless.
15 Una guoko kwa mũndũ ũrĩa mwaganu na kwa ũrĩa mũũru; mũrĩhie nĩ ũndũ wa waganu wake ũcio ũtangĩmenyeka.
Break the arm of the wicked and the evil, Seek out his wickedness, find none;
16 Jehova nĩwe Mũthamaki wa nginya tene; ndũrĩrĩ nĩigathira ciehere bũrũri-inĩ wake.
YHWH [is] King for all time and forever, The nations have perished out of His land!
17 Wee Jehova, nĩũiguaga wendi wa andũ arĩa anyamaarie; nĩũmomagĩrĩria, na ũgathikĩrĩria gũkaya kwao,
You have heard the desire of the humble, O YHWH. You prepare their heart; You cause Your ear to attend,
18 ũgitagĩra andũ arĩa matarĩ maithe na arĩa ahinyĩrĩrie, nĩgeetha mũndũ, ũrĩa ũrĩ o wa thĩ, ndagacooke gwĩkanĩra guoya.
To judge the fatherless and bruised: He adds no more to oppress—man of the earth!
