Thaburi 14

1 Thaburi ya Daudi Kĩrimũ kĩĩraga na ngoro atĩrĩ, “Gũtirĩ Ngai.” Nĩ amaramari, ciĩko ciao nĩ njũru; gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe wĩkaga wega.

For the Chief Musician. By David. The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt. They have done abominable deeds. There is no one who does good.

2 Jehova aroraga ciana cia ariũ a andũ arĩ o igũrũ, one kana nĩ harĩ ũrĩ na ũmenyo, o na kana nĩ harĩ ũrongoragia Ngai.

Yahweh looked down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there were any who understood, who sought after God.

3 Othe-rĩ, nĩmorĩte njĩra, magatuĩka amaramari marĩ hamwe; gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe wĩkaga wega, gũtirĩ o na ũmwe.

They have all gone aside. They have together become corrupt. There is no one who does good, no, not one.

4 Andũ acio mekaga maũndũ mooru kaĩ matamenyaga, o acio marĩĩaga andũ akwa o ta ũrĩa andũ marĩĩaga irio, o acio matakayagĩra Jehova?

Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and don’t call on Yahweh?

5 Hau nĩho marĩ manyiitĩtwo nĩ guoya mũnene, nĩgũkorwo Ngai aikaraga hamwe na thiritũ ya arĩa athingu.

There they were in great fear, for God is in the generation of the righteous.

6 Inyuĩ andũ aya aaganu nĩmũthũkagia mĩbango ya arĩa athĩĩni, no Jehova nĩwe rĩũrĩro rĩao.

You frustrate the plan of the poor, because Yahweh is his refuge.

7 Naarĩ korwo ũhonokio wa Isiraeli no ũgĩũke kuuma Zayuni! Rĩrĩa Jehova agaacookeria andũ ake indo ciao-rĩ, Jakubu nĩagĩkene, na Isiraeli acanjamũke.

Oh that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When Yahweh restores the fortunes of his people, then Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
