Thaburi 52
1 Thaburi ya Daudi Wee njamba ĩno ĩrĩ hinya, ũreegana nĩ ũndũ wa maũndũ mooru nĩkĩ? Ũtindaga wĩrahĩte mũthenya wothe nĩkĩ, o wee ũtuĩkĩte gĩconoko maitho-nĩ ma Ngai?
Unto the end, understanding for David, When Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul David went to the house of Achimelech. Why dost thou glory in malice, thou that art mighty in iniquity?
2 Rũrĩmĩ rwaku rũthugundaga mwanangĩko; rũhaana ta rwenji rũnoore, o wee wĩkaga maũndũ ma maheeni.
All the day long thy tongue hath devised injustice: as a sharp razor, thou hast wrought deceit.
3 Wendete maũndũ mooru gũkĩra marĩa mega, ũkenda maheeni gũkĩra kwaria ma.
Thou hast loved malice more than goodness: and iniquity rather than to speak righteousness.
4 Wendete ciugo o ciothe ithũkagia andũ, wee rũrĩmĩ rũrũ rwa maheeni!
Thou hast loved all the words of ruin, O deceitful tongue.
5 Ti-itherũ Mũrungu nĩagakwananga nginya tene na tene: Agakũnyiita, akũhurie na akũrute hema-inĩ yaku; agakũmunya akweherie bũrũri wa arĩa marĩ muoyo.
Therefore will God destroy thee for ever: he will pluck thee out, and remove thee from thy dwelling place: and thy root out of the land of the living.
6 Andũ arĩa athingu nĩmakona ũguo metigĩre; nao magathekerera mũndũ ũcio, moige atĩrĩ,
The just shall see and fear, and shall laugh at him, and say:
7 “Ũyũ nĩwe mũndũ ũrĩa wagire gũtua Ngai kĩĩhitho gĩake kĩa hinya, no eehokire ũtonga wake mũingĩ, na akĩgĩa hinya nĩ ũndũ wa kũniina andũ arĩa angĩ!”
Behold the man that made not God his helper: But trusted in the abundance of his riches: and prevailed in his vanity.
8 No rĩrĩ, niĩ ndariĩ ta mũtĩ wa mũtamaiyũ, ũrĩa ũrakũra wega ũrĩ thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ya Ngai; ndĩhokete wendo wa Ngai ũrĩa ũtathiraga nginya tene na tene.
But I, as a fruitful olive tree in the house of God, have hoped in the mercy of God for ever, yea for ever and ever.
9 Ngũtũũra ngũgoocaga nginya tene nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa wĩkĩte; ndĩrĩĩhokaga rĩĩtwa rĩaku, nĩgũkorwo rĩĩtwa rĩaku nĩ rĩega. Ndĩrĩkũgoocaga ndĩ mbere ya andũ aku arĩa aamũre.
I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done it: and I will wait on thy name, for it is good in the sight of thy saints.
