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, and be not envious of them that work unrighteousness;
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 cut down like the grass, and fade as the green herb.
3 Wĩhoke Jehova na wĩkage wega; tũũra bũrũri-inĩ ũkenagĩra ũrĩithio wa thayũ.
Confide in Jehovah, and do good; dwell in the land, and feed on faithfulness;
4 Ĩkaga maũndũ ma gũkenia Jehova, na nĩarĩkũhingagĩria merirĩria ma ngoro yaku.
and delight thyself in Jehovah, and he will give thee the desires of thy heart.
5 Rekagĩrĩria Jehova njĩra yaku; mwĩhokage o we, nake nĩarĩĩkaga maũndũ maya:
Commit thy way unto Jehovah, and rely upon him: he will 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 will bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
7 Hoorera mbere ya Jehova na ũmweterere ũtegũthethũka; ndũgathĩĩnĩke ngoro rĩrĩa andũ magaacĩra mĩthiĩre-inĩ yao, rĩrĩa mekũhingia mathugunda mao ma gwĩka ũũru.
Rest in Jehovah, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him that prospereth in his way, because of the man that bringeth mischievous devices to pass.
8 Tigaga kũrakara na wĩrigagĩrĩrie mangʼũrĩ; tigaga gũthĩĩnĩka ngoro, tondũ ũndũ ũcio no ũtũme wĩke ũũru.
Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; fret not thyself: it [would be] only to do evil.
9 Nĩgũkorwo andũ ooru nĩmakaniinwo, no arĩa mehokete Jehova nĩmakagaya bũrũri.
For evil-doers shall be cut off; but those that wait on Jehovah, they shall possess the land.
10 No kahinda kanini, arĩa aaganu mage kuoneka rĩngĩ; o na mũngĩmacaria, mũtingĩmoona.
For yet a little while, and the wicked is not; and thou considerest his place, but he is not.
11 No arĩa ahooreri nĩo makaagaya bũrũri, na matũũre makenete nĩkũingĩhĩrwo nĩ thayũ.
But the meek shall possess the land, and shall delight themselves in the abundance of prosperity.
12 Andũ arĩa aaganu mathugundaga mokĩrĩre andũ arĩa athingu, na makamahagaranĩria magego;
The wicked plotteth against the righteous, and gnasheth his teeth against him.
13 no Mwathani athekagĩrĩra andũ acio aaganu, nĩgũkorwo nĩoĩ mũthenya wao nĩũrooka.
The Lord laugheth at him; for he seeth that his day is coming.
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.
The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the afflicted and needy, to slay those that are upright in [the] way:
15 No hiũ icio ciao cia njora igaatheeca ngoro ciao ene, na mota mao moinangwo.
their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
16 Nĩ kaba kĩndũ kĩnini kĩrĩ na andũ arĩa athingu, gũkĩra ũtonga mũingĩ wa andũ aaganu;
The little that the righteous hath is better than the abundance of many wicked;
17 nĩgũkorwo hinya wa andũ arĩa aaganu nĩũkaniinwo, no Jehova atiiragĩrĩra andũ arĩa athingu.
for the arms of the wicked shall be broken, but Jehovah upholdeth the righteous.
18 Matukũ ma andũ arĩa matarĩ ũcuuke nĩmooĩo nĩ Jehova, na igai rĩao rĩgũtũũra nginya tene.
Jehovah knoweth the days 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 the time of evil, and in the 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 wicked shall perish, and the enemies of Jehovah shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume, like smoke shall they consume away.
21 Andũ arĩa aaganu makoombaga na matirĩhaga, no arĩa athingu maheanaga na ũtaana;
The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again; but the righteous is gracious and giveth:
22 andũ arĩa Jehova arathimĩte nĩmakagaya bũrũri, no arĩa arumĩte nĩmakaniinwo.
for those blessed of him shall possess the land, and they that are cursed of him shall be cut off.
23 Jehova angĩkenio nĩ mũthiĩre wa mũndũ, atũmaga makinya make marũme wega;
The steps of a man are established by Jehovah, and he delighteth in his way:
24 o na angĩhĩngwo, ndangĩgũa, nĩgũkorwo Jehova amũnyiitagĩrĩra na guoko gwake.
though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down, for Jehovah upholdeth his hand.
25 Ndaarĩ mũnini, na rĩu ndĩ mũkũrũ, no ndirĩ ndoona andũ arĩa athingu matiganĩirio, kana ciana ciao ikĩhooya irio.
I have been young, and now am old, and 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.
all the day he is gracious and lendeth, and his seed shall be a blessing.
27 Theemaga ũũru, na wĩkage wega, nawe ũtũũre bũrũri-inĩ nginya tene.
Depart from evil, and do good, and dwell for evermore;
28 Nĩgũkorwo Jehova endete o kĩhooto, na ndagatiganĩria arĩa ake ehokeku. Acio megũtũũra magitĩirwo nginya tene, no ciana cia arĩa aaganu nĩikaniinwo.
for Jehovah loveth judgment, and will not forsake his saints: They are preserved for ever; but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
29 Andũ arĩa athingu nĩo makaagaya bũrũri, na matũũre kuo nginya tene.
The righteous shall possess the land, and dwell therein for ever.
30 Kanua ka mũndũ mũthingu gatumũkaga ndeto cia ũũgĩ, naruo rũrĩmĩ rwake rũkaaria kĩhooto.
The mouth of the righteous proffereth wisdom, and his tongue speaketh judgment;
31 Watho wa Ngai wake ũrĩ o ngoro-inĩ yake; makinya make matingĩtenderũka.
the law of his God is in his heart; his goings shall not slide.
32 Andũ arĩa aaganu maikaraga moheirie arĩa athingu, magĩcaria o ũrĩa mangĩmooraga;
The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him:
33 no Jehova ndakamatiganĩria moko-inĩ ma andũ acio aaganu, kana areke matuĩrwo atĩ nĩ ehia rĩrĩa magaaciirithio.
Jehovah will not leave him in his hand, nor 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 for Jehovah, and keep his way, and he will exalt thee to possess the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see [it].
35 Nĩnyonete mũndũ mwaganu na mũndũ ũtarĩ tha agaacĩire ta mũtĩ mũruru ũrĩ o imerero-inĩ rĩaguo,
I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading like a green tree in its native soil:
36 no thuutha wa kahinda o kanini akĩehera, akĩaga gũkorwo ho rĩngĩ; o na gũtuĩka nĩndamũcaririe, ndiigana kũmuona.
but he passed away, and behold, he was not; and I sought him, but he 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.
Mark the perfect, and behold the upright, for the end of [that] man is peace;
38 No rĩrĩ, andũ arĩa ehia othe nĩmakaniinwo; no andũ arĩa aaganu mũthia wao nĩ kũũragwo makooragwo.
but the transgressors shall be destroyed together; the future of the wicked shall be cut off.
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 Jehovah: he is their strength in the time of trouble.
40 Jehova nĩamateithagia na akamateithũra; amateithũraga kuuma kũrĩ andũ arĩa aaganu na akamahonokia, tondũ moragĩra harĩ we.
And Jehovah will help them and deliver them: he will deliver them from the wicked, and save them; for they trust in him.
