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 Melody of Asaph. El, Elohim, Yahweh, hath spoken, and culled the earth, From the rising of the sun, unto the going in thereof:
2 Ngai aracangarara arĩ Zayuni itũũra rĩu ithaka mũno.
Out of Zion the perfection of beauty, God, hath shone forth.
3 Ngai witũ nĩ gũũka arooka na ndegũkira; mbere yake nĩ mwaki ũrakana, na akarigiicĩrio nĩ kĩhuhũkanio kĩnene.
Let our God come, and let him not keep silence! A fire—before him, shall devour, And, around him, hath it become exceeding tempestuous:
4 Areeta igũrũ na thĩ nĩguo ituĩke aira agĩciirithia andũ ake:
He calleth, Unto the heavens above, And unto 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 yourselves unto me—ye my men of lovingkindness, Who have solemnised my covenant over sacrifice.
6 Narĩo igũrũ rĩanagĩrĩra ũthingu wake, nĩgũkorwo Ngai we mwene nĩwe mũtuanĩri ciira.
Now have the heavens declared his righteousness, Because, God, is, about to judge. (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 adjure thee, God, thine own God, I am: —
8 Ndirakũrũithia nĩ ũndũ wa magongona maku, o na kana nĩ ũndũ wa maruta maku ma njino, marĩa makoragwo mbere yakwa hĩndĩ ciothe.
Not, for thy sacrifices, will I reprove thee, Nor for thine ascending-offerings, before me continually:
9 Ndibatarĩtio nĩ ndegwa yumĩte kiugũ gĩaku, kana mbũri ciumĩte ciugũ ciaku,
I will not take out of thy house—a bullock, Nor out of thy folds—he-goats;
10 nĩgũkorwo nyamũ ciothe cia gĩthaka nĩ ciakwa, na ngʼombe iria irĩ tũrĩma-inĩ ngiri na ngiri.
For, mine, is every wild-beast of the forest, The cattle on the mountains, in their thousands;
11 Nyoni ciothe iria irĩ kũu irĩma-inĩ, gũtirĩ o na ĩmwe itooĩ, na ciũmbe ciothe cia werũ-inĩ nĩ ciakwa.
I know every bird of the mountains, And, the moving things of the plain, are with me:
12 Ingĩkorwo hũtiĩ, ndingĩkwĩra, nĩgũkorwo thĩ nĩ yakwa, na kĩrĩa gĩothe kĩrĩ thĩinĩ wayo.
If I were hungry, I would not tell thee, For, mine, is the world, and the fulness thereof.
13 Niĩ nĩndĩĩaga nyama cia ndegwa, o na kana nganyua thakame ya mbũri?
Will I eat the flesh of mighty oxen? Or, the blood of he-goats, will I drink?
14 Rutĩra Ngai igongona rĩa gũcookia ngaatho, na ũhingagĩrie Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno mĩĩhĩtwa yaku,
Sacrifice to God a thankoffering, And pay to the Most High thy vows;
15 na ũngayagĩre mũthenya wa mĩnyamaro; na nĩndĩrĩkũhonokagia, nawe ũngoocage.”
Call upon me, then, in the day of distress, I will deliver thee, that thou mayest 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, to the lawless one, God saith, What hast, thou, to do, to recount my statutes? Or that thou hast taken up my covenant upon thy mouth?
17 Nĩũmenete ũrutani wakwa, na ũgateanĩria ciugo ciakwa.
Seeing that, thou, hast hated correction, And hast cast my words behind thee;
18 Rĩrĩa wona mũici, ũnyiitanagĩra nake; na ũgĩĩaga ũrũmwe na itharia.
If thou sawest a thief, then didst thou run with him, —And, with adulterers, hath been thy chosen life;
19 Ũhũthagĩra kanua gaku kwaria ndeto njũru, na rũrĩmĩ rwaku naruo rũkaaragia maheeni.
Thy mouth, hast thou thrust into wickedness, And, thy tongue, kept weaving deceit;
20 Hĩndĩ ciothe waragia ndeto cia gũũkĩrĩra mũrũ wa thoguo, ũgagĩcambia mũrũ-wa-nyũkwa.
Thou wouldst sit down—Against thine own brother, wouldst thou speak, Against thine own mother’s son, wouldst thou expose a fault: —
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 have kept silence, Thou thoughtest that I should really be like thyself, I will convict thee, yea I will set [thine offences] in order before thine eyes.
22 “Mwĩcũraniei ũhoro ũyũ, inyuĩ mũriganagĩrwo nĩ Ngai, nĩguo ndikamũtambuure, na haage mũndũ wa kũmũteithũra.
Understand this, I pray you, ye forgetters of GOD, Lest I tear 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.”
He that sacrificeth a thankoffering, will glorify me, —And will prepare a way by which I may show him the salvation of God.
