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.

For the end, [a Psalm] of David upon Maeleth, of instruction. The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They have corrupted [themselves], and become abominable in iniquities: there is none that 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 that understood, or sought after God.

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

They have all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that does good, there is not even 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?

Will none of the workers of iniquity know, who devour my people as they would eat bread? they have not called upon God. There were they greatly afraid, where there was no fear:

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.

or God has scattered the bones of the men-pleasers; they were ashamed, for God despised 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!

Who will bring the salvation of Israel out of Sion? When the Lord turns the captivity of his people, Jacob shall exult, and Israel shall be glad.
