Thaburi 50
1 Thaburi ya Asafu Jehova, o we Ngai ũcio Mwene-Hinya, nĩaraaria, ageeta thĩ yothe kuuma irathĩro rĩa riũa nginya kũrĩa rĩthũagĩra.
A Psalm. Of Asaph. God, Elohim-Jehovah, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.
2 Ngai aracangarara arĩ Zayuni itũũra rĩu ithaka mũno.
Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined forth.
3 Ngai witũ nĩ gũũka arooka na ndegũkira; mbere yake nĩ mwaki ũrakana, na akarigiicĩrio nĩ kĩhuhũkanio kĩnene.
Our God will come, and will not keep silence: fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.
4 Areeta igũrũ na thĩ nĩguo ituĩke aira agĩciirithia andũ ake:
He will call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people:
5 “Cookanĩrĩrai harĩ niĩ inyuĩ andũ akwa aamũre, o inyuĩ mwagĩire kĩrĩkanĩro na niĩ na ũndũ wa kũndutĩra igongona.”
Gather unto me my godly ones, those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice!
6 Narĩo igũrũ rĩanagĩrĩra ũthingu wake, nĩgũkorwo Ngai we mwene nĩwe mũtuanĩri ciira.
And the heavens shall declare his righteousness; for God executeth judgment himself. (Selah)
7 “Inyuĩ andũ akwa, thikĩrĩriai na nĩngwaria, ũthikĩrĩrie, wee Isiraeli, na nĩngũruta ũira wa gũgũthita: nĩ niĩ Ngai, o Ngai waku.
Hear, my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify unto thee: I am God, thy God.
8 Ndirakũrũithia nĩ ũndũ wa magongona maku, o na kana nĩ ũndũ wa maruta maku ma njino, marĩa makoragwo mbere yakwa hĩndĩ ciothe.
I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices, or thy burnt-offerings, continually before me;
9 Ndibatarĩtio nĩ ndegwa yumĩte kiugũ gĩaku, kana mbũri ciumĩte ciugũ ciaku,
I will take no bullock out of thy house, [nor] he-goats out of thy folds:
10 nĩgũkorwo nyamũ ciothe cia gĩthaka nĩ ciakwa, na ngʼombe iria irĩ tũrĩma-inĩ ngiri na ngiri.
For every beast of the forest is mine, the cattle upon a thousand hills;
11 Nyoni ciothe iria irĩ kũu irĩma-inĩ, gũtirĩ o na ĩmwe itooĩ, na ciũmbe ciothe cia werũ-inĩ nĩ ciakwa.
I know all the fowl of the mountains, and the roaming creatures of the field are mine:
12 Ingĩkorwo hũtiĩ, ndingĩkwĩra, nĩgũkorwo thĩ nĩ yakwa, na kĩrĩa gĩothe kĩrĩ thĩinĩ wayo.
If I were hungry, I would not tell thee; for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.
13 Niĩ nĩndĩĩaga nyama cia ndegwa, o na kana nganyua thakame ya mbũri?
Should I eat the flesh of bulls, and drink the blood of goats?
14 Rutĩra Ngai igongona rĩa gũcookia ngaatho, na ũhingagĩrie Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno mĩĩhĩtwa yaku,
Offer unto God thanksgiving, and perform thy vows unto the Most High;
15 na ũngayagĩre mũthenya wa mĩnyamaro; na nĩndĩrĩkũhonokagia, nawe ũngoocage.”
And call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.
16 No rĩrĩ, mũndũ ũrĩa mwaganu Ngai ekũmũũria atĩrĩ: “Ũrĩ na kĩhooto kĩrĩkũ gĩa kuuga mawatho makwa, kana kwaria ũhoro wa kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa?
But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant into thy mouth,
17 Nĩũmenete ũrutani wakwa, na ũgateanĩria ciugo ciakwa.
Seeing thou hast hated correction and hast cast my words behind thee?
18 Rĩrĩa wona mũici, ũnyiitanagĩra nake; na ũgĩĩaga ũrũmwe na itharia.
When thou sawest a thief, thou didst take pleasure in him, and thy portion was with adulterers;
19 Ũhũthagĩra kanua gaku kwaria ndeto njũru, na rũrĩmĩ rwaku naruo rũkaaragia maheeni.
Thou lettest thy mouth loose to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit;
20 Hĩndĩ ciothe waragia ndeto cia gũũkĩrĩra mũrũ wa thoguo, ũgagĩcambia mũrũ-wa-nyũkwa.
Thou sittest [and] speakest against thy brother, thou revilest thine own mother's son:
21 Maũndũ macio ũmekaga o ngirĩte, nawe ũgeciiria atĩ niĩ ndariĩ o tawe. No rĩrĩ, rĩu nĩngũkũrũithia, nguonie maũndũ marĩa wĩkĩte.
These [things] hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether as thyself: [but] I will reprove thee, and set [them] in order before thine eyes.
22 “Mwĩcũraniei ũhoro ũyũ, inyuĩ mũriganagĩrwo nĩ Ngai, nĩguo ndikamũtambuure, na haage mũndũ wa kũmũteithũra.
Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear in pieces, and there be no deliverer.
23 Mũndũ ũrĩa ũrutaga igongona rĩa gũcookia ngaatho nĩ niĩ atĩĩaga, na akahaarĩria njĩra nĩgeetha ndĩmuonie ũhonokanio wa Ngai.”
Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me; and to him that ordereth [his] way will I shew the salvation of God.
