Thaburi 50
1 Thaburi ya Asafu Jehova, o we Ngai ũcio Mwene-Hinya, nĩaraaria, ageeta thĩ yothe kuuma irathĩro rĩa riũa nginya kũrĩa rĩthũagĩra.
The mighty God, even the LORD, has 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 has shined.
3 Ngai witũ nĩ gũũka arooka na ndegũkira; mbere yake nĩ mwaki ũrakana, na akarigiicĩrio nĩ kĩhuhũkanio kĩnene.
Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a 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 shall 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 my saints together unto me; 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 is judge himself. (Selah)
7 “Inyuĩ andũ akwa, thikĩrĩriai na nĩngwaria, ũthikĩrĩrie, wee Isiraeli, na nĩngũruta ũira wa gũgũthita: nĩ niĩ Ngai, o Ngai waku.
Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against you: I am God, even your 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 you for your sacrifices or your burnt offerings, to have been continually before me.
9 Ndibatarĩtio nĩ ndegwa yumĩte kiugũ gĩaku, kana mbũri ciumĩte ciugũ ciaku,
I will take no bullock out of your house, nor he goats out of your 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, and 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 fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts 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 you: for the world is mine, and the fullness thereof.
13 Niĩ nĩndĩĩaga nyama cia ndegwa, o na kana nganyua thakame ya mbũri?
Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or 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 pay your 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 you, and you shall 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 says, What have you to do to declare my statutes, or that you should take my covenant in your mouth?
17 Nĩũmenete ũrutani wakwa, na ũgateanĩria ciugo ciakwa.
Seeing you hate instruction, and casts my words behind you.
18 Rĩrĩa wona mũici, ũnyiitanagĩra nake; na ũgĩĩaga ũrũmwe na itharia.
When you saw a thief, then you consented with him, and have been partaker with adulterers.
19 Ũhũthagĩra kanua gaku kwaria ndeto njũru, na rũrĩmĩ rwaku naruo rũkaaragia maheeni.
You give your mouth to evil, and your tongue frames deceit.
20 Hĩndĩ ciothe waragia ndeto cia gũũkĩrĩra mũrũ wa thoguo, ũgagĩcambia mũrũ-wa-nyũkwa.
You sit and speak against your brother; you slander your 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 have you done, and I kept silence; you thought that I was altogether such an one as yourself: but I will reprove you, and set them in order before your eyes.
22 “Mwĩcũraniei ũhoro ũyũ, inyuĩ mũriganagĩrwo nĩ Ngai, nĩguo ndikamũtambuure, na haage mũndũ wa kũmũteithũra.
Now consider this, all of you that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.
23 Mũndũ ũrĩa ũrutaga igongona rĩa gũcookia ngaatho nĩ niĩ atĩĩaga, na akahaarĩria njĩra nĩgeetha ndĩmuonie ũhonokanio wa Ngai.”
Whoso offers praise glorifies me: and to him that orders his conversation aright will I show the salvation of God.
