Thaburi 37
1 Thaburi ya Daudi Tigaga gũthĩĩnĩka ngoro nĩ ũndũ wa andũ arĩa mekaga ũũru, o na kana ũiguage ũiru nĩ ũndũ wa arĩa mekaga mahĩtia;
[A Psalm] of David. Fret not thyself because of evil-doers, neither be envious of them that do iniquity.
2 nĩgũkorwo acio makaahooha o narua o ta ũrĩa nyeki ĩhoohaga, na makue narua o ta ũrĩa riya rĩhoohaga rĩamunywo.
For they shall soon be withered as the grass, and shall soon fall away as the green herbs.
3 Wĩhoke Jehova na wĩkage wega; tũũra bũrũri-inĩ ũkenagĩra ũrĩithio wa thayũ.
Hope in the Lord, and do good; and dwell on the land, and thou shalt be fed with the wealth of it.
4 Ĩkaga maũndũ ma gũkenia Jehova, na nĩarĩkũhingagĩria merirĩria ma ngoro yaku.
Delight [thyself] in the Lord; and he shall grant thee the requests of thine heart.
5 Rekagĩrĩria Jehova njĩra yaku; mwĩhokage o we, nake nĩarĩĩkaga maũndũ maya:
Disclose thy way to the Lord, and hope in him; and he shall bring [it] to pass.
6 Nĩarĩtũmaga ũthingu waku ware o ta rũciinĩ, nakĩo kĩhooto gĩa ciira waku kĩare o ta riũa rĩa mũthenya barigici.
And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noon-day.
7 Hoorera mbere ya Jehova na ũmweterere ũtegũthethũka; ndũgathĩĩnĩke ngoro rĩrĩa andũ magaacĩra mĩthiĩre-inĩ yao, rĩrĩa mekũhingia mathugunda mao ma gwĩka ũũru.
Submit thyself to the Lord, and supplicate him: fret not thyself because of him that prospers in his way, at the man that does unlawful deeds.
8 Tigaga kũrakara na wĩrigagĩrĩrie mangʼũrĩ; tigaga gũthĩĩnĩka ngoro, tondũ ũndũ ũcio no ũtũme wĩke ũũru.
ease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself so as to do evil.
9 Nĩgũkorwo andũ ooru nĩmakaniinwo, no arĩa mehokete Jehova nĩmakagaya bũrũri.
For evil-doers shall be destroyed: but they that wait on the Lord, they shall inherit the land.
10 No kahinda kanini, arĩa aaganu mage kuoneka rĩngĩ; o na mũngĩmacaria, mũtingĩmoona.
And yet a little while, and the sinner shall not be, and thou shalt seek for his place, and shalt not find [it].
11 No arĩa ahooreri nĩo makaagaya bũrũri, na matũũre makenete nĩkũingĩhĩrwo nĩ thayũ.
But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight [themselves] in the abundance of peace.
12 Andũ arĩa aaganu mathugundaga mokĩrĩre andũ arĩa athingu, na makamahagaranĩria magego;
The sinner will watch for the righteous, and gnash his teeth upon him.
13 no Mwathani athekagĩrĩra andũ acio aaganu, nĩgũkorwo nĩoĩ mũthenya wao nĩũrooka.
But the Lord shall laugh at him: for he foresees that his day will come.
14 Andũ arĩa aaganu macomorete hiũ cia njora, na makageeta ũta nĩguo maniine mũndũ ũrĩa mũthĩĩni na mũbatari, na moorage andũ arĩa njĩra ciao irũngĩrĩirie.
Sinners have drawn their swords, they have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy one, [and] to slay the upright in heart.
15 No hiũ icio ciao cia njora igaatheeca ngoro ciao ene, na mota mao moinangwo.
Let their sword enter into their [own] heart, and their bows be broken.
16 Nĩ kaba kĩndũ kĩnini kĩrĩ na andũ arĩa athingu, gũkĩra ũtonga mũingĩ wa andũ aaganu;
A little is better to the righteous than abundant wealth of sinners.
17 nĩgũkorwo hinya wa andũ arĩa aaganu nĩũkaniinwo, no Jehova atiiragĩrĩra andũ arĩa athingu.
For the arms of sinners shall be broken; but the Lord supports the righteous.
18 Matukũ ma andũ arĩa matarĩ ũcuuke nĩmooĩo nĩ Jehova, na igai rĩao rĩgũtũũra nginya tene.
The Lord knows the ways of the perfect; and their inheritance shall be for ever.
19 Hĩndĩ ya mwanangĩko matikoona ũũru; na hĩndĩ ya ngʼaragu magaakorwo na irio cia kũigana.
They shall not be ashamed in an evil time; and in days of famine they shall be satisfied.
20 No andũ arĩa aaganu nĩmagathira: Thũ cia Jehova igaathira ta ũrĩa ũthaka wa mĩgũnda ũthiraga, nĩikabuĩria, ibuĩrie o ta ndogo.
For the sinners shall perish; and the enemies of the Lord at the moment of their being honoured and exalted have utterly vanished like smoke.
21 Andũ arĩa aaganu makoombaga na matirĩhaga, no arĩa athingu maheanaga na ũtaana;
The sinner borrows, and will not pay again: but the righteous has compassion, and gives.
22 andũ arĩa Jehova arathimĩte nĩmakagaya bũrũri, no arĩa arumĩte nĩmakaniinwo.
For they that bless him shall inherit the earth; and they that curse him shall be utterly destroyed.
23 Jehova angĩkenio nĩ mũthiĩre wa mũndũ, atũmaga makinya make marũme wega;
The steps of a man are rightly ordered by the Lord: and he will take pleasure in his way.
24 o na angĩhĩngwo, ndangĩgũa, nĩgũkorwo Jehova amũnyiitagĩrĩra na guoko gwake.
When he falls, he shall not be ruined: for the Lord supports his hand.
25 Ndaarĩ mũnini, na rĩu ndĩ mũkũrũ, no ndirĩ ndoona andũ arĩa athingu matiganĩirio, kana ciana ciao ikĩhooya irio.
I was [once] young, indeed I am now old; yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed seeking bread.
26 Hĩndĩ ciothe makoragwo marĩ ataana, na makombanagĩra matekwenda uumithio; ciana ciao nĩ ikaarathimwo.
He is merciful, and lends continually; and his seed shall be blessed.
27 Theemaga ũũru, na wĩkage wega, nawe ũtũũre bũrũri-inĩ nginya tene.
Turn aside from evil, and do good; and dwell for ever.
28 Nĩgũkorwo Jehova endete o kĩhooto, na ndagatiganĩria arĩa ake ehokeku. Acio megũtũũra magitĩirwo nginya tene, no ciana cia arĩa aaganu nĩikaniinwo.
For the Lord loves judgment, and will not forsake his saints; they shall be preserved for ever: the blameless shall be avenged, but the seed of the ungodly shall be utterly destroyed.
29 Andũ arĩa athingu nĩo makaagaya bũrũri, na matũũre kuo nginya tene.
But the righteous shall inherit the earth, and dwell upon it for ever.
30 Kanua ka mũndũ mũthingu gatumũkaga ndeto cia ũũgĩ, naruo rũrĩmĩ rwake rũkaaria kĩhooto.
The mouth of the righteous will meditate wisdom, and his tongue will speak of judgment.
31 Watho wa Ngai wake ũrĩ o ngoro-inĩ yake; makinya make matingĩtenderũka.
The law of his God is in his heart; and his steps shall not slide.
32 Andũ arĩa aaganu maikaraga moheirie arĩa athingu, magĩcaria o ũrĩa mangĩmooraga;
The sinner watches the righteous, and seeks to slay him.
33 no Jehova ndakamatiganĩria moko-inĩ ma andũ acio aaganu, kana areke matuĩrwo atĩ nĩ ehia rĩrĩa magaaciirithio.
But the Lord will not leave him in his hands, nor by any means condemn him when he is judged.
34 Etagĩrĩra Jehova na ũrũmagĩrĩre njĩra yake. Nĩagagũtũũgĩria nĩguo ũgae bũrũri; rĩrĩa andũ arĩa aaganu makaaniinwo-rĩ, wee nĩũkeyonera ũndũ ũcio.
Wait on the Lord, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are destroyed, thou shalt see [it].
35 Nĩnyonete mũndũ mwaganu na mũndũ ũtarĩ tha agaacĩire ta mũtĩ mũruru ũrĩ o imerero-inĩ rĩaguo,
I saw the ungodly very highly exalting himself, and lifting himself up like the cedars of Libanus.
36 no thuutha wa kahinda o kanini akĩehera, akĩaga gũkorwo ho rĩngĩ; o na gũtuĩka nĩndamũcaririe, ndiigana kũmuona.
Yet I passed by, and lo! he was not: and I sought him, but his place was not found.
37 Cũrania ũhoro wa mũndũ ũrĩa ũtarĩ ũcuuke, na ũrore ũrĩa mũrũngĩrĩru, ũhoro wake wa matukũ marĩa magooka nĩ ũhoro wa thayũ.
Maintain innocence, and behold uprightness: for there is a remnant to the peaceable man.
38 No rĩrĩ, andũ arĩa ehia othe nĩmakaniinwo; no andũ arĩa aaganu mũthia wao nĩ kũũragwo makooragwo.
But the transgressors shall be utterly destroyed together: the remnants of the ungodly shall be utterly destroyed.
39 Ũhonokio wa andũ arĩa athingu uumaga kũrĩ Jehova; we nĩwe kĩĩhitho kĩao kĩa hinya hĩndĩ ya mathĩĩna.
But the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord; and he is their defender in the time of affliction.
40 Jehova nĩamateithagia na akamateithũra; amateithũraga kuuma kũrĩ andũ arĩa aaganu na akamahonokia, tondũ moragĩra harĩ we.
And the Lord shall help them, and deliver them: and he shall rescue them from sinners, and save them, because they have hoped in him.
