Thaburi 53

1 Thaburi ya Daudi Kĩrimũ kĩĩraga na ngoro atĩrĩ, “Gũtirĩ Ngai.” Nao amaramari, ciĩko ciao irĩ magigi; gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe wĩkaga wega.

The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity. There is none who does good.

2 Ngai aroraga ciana cia andũ arĩ o igũrũ, one kana nĩ harĩ ũrĩ na ũmenyo, o na kana nĩ harĩ ũrongoragia Ngai.

God looked down from heaven upon the sons of men, to see if there were any who understood, who seek after God.

3 Othe nĩmacookete na thuutha, othe marĩ hamwe nĩmatuĩkĩte amaramari; gũtirĩ o na ũmwe wĩkaga wega, gũtirĩ o na ũmwe.

Every one of them has gone back. They have together become filthy. There is none who does good, no, not one.

4 Andũ acio mekaga maũndũ mooru kaĩ matarĩ ũmenyo, o acio marĩĩaga andũ akwa o ta ũrĩa andũ marĩĩaga irio, o acio matakayagĩra Ngai?

Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon God?

5 O hau-rĩ, makanyiitwo nĩ guoya mũnene, o na gũtarĩ kĩndũ gĩa gũtũma metigĩre. Nĩgũkorwo Ngai nĩahurunjĩte mahĩndĩ ma andũ acio magũtharĩkĩire; nĩwamaconorithirie, nĩgũkorwo Ngai nĩamamenete.

There they were in great fear, where no fear was, for God has scattered the bones of him who encamps against thee. Thou have put them to shame because God has rejected them.

6 Naarĩ korwo ũhonokio wa Isiraeli no ũgĩũke kuuma Zayuni! Rĩrĩa Ngai agacookereria andũ ake na indo ciao-rĩ, Jakubu nĩagakena na Isiraeli acanjamũke!

O that the salvation of Israel came out of Zion! When God brings back the captivity of his people, then Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
