Thaburi 58
1 Thaburi ya Daudi Inyuĩ aathani aya-rĩ, ti-itherũ nĩmwaragia maũndũ ma kĩhooto? Nĩmũtuagĩra andũ ciira ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire na kĩhooto?
Do all of you indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do all of you judge uprightly, O all of you sons of men?
2 Aca, ngoro-inĩ cianyu mũthugundaga maũndũ matarĩ ma kĩhooto, na moko manyu mageeka maũndũ ma kũruta haaro gũkũ thĩ.
Yea, in heart all of you work wickedness; all of you weigh the violence of your hands in the earth.
3 O kuuma gũciarwo andũ arĩa aaganu nĩmahĩtagia njĩra; matũũraga marĩ imaramari kuuma gũciarwo, na maaragia maheeni.
The wicked are cut off from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.
4 Ũrũrũ wao nĩ ta ũrũrũ wa nyoka, ũhaana ta thumu wa nduĩra ĩthingĩte matũ mayo,
Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stops her ear;
5 ĩrĩa ĩtangĩigua rwĩmbo rwa mũmĩthuuthĩri, o na angĩkorwo aramĩthuuthĩra arĩ na ũũgĩ mũnene atĩa.
Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.
6 Wee Ngai, unanga magego marĩa marĩ tũnua twao; Wee Jehova, munya mĩthangiri ya mĩrũũthi ĩyo!
Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O LORD.
7 Nĩmabuĩrie o ta maaĩ marĩa mathereraga makabuĩria; rĩrĩa magereka ũta-rĩ, mĩguĩ yao nĩĩkoragwo ĩrĩ mĩtuuhu.
Let them melt away as waters which run continually: when he bends his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces.
8 Marotuĩka ta ndinoho ĩrĩa ĩtwekaga o ĩgĩthiiaga, matuĩke ta kĩhuno kĩrĩa gĩtoonaga riũa.
As a snail which melts, let every one of them pass away: like the untimely birth of a woman, that they may not see the sun.
9 Andũ arĩa aaganu makeeherio narua, gũkĩra ũrĩa nyũngũ cianyu ingĩhiũhio nĩ mwaki wa mĩigua, ĩrĩ mĩigũ kana ĩrĩ mĩũmũ.
Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath.
10 Andũ arĩa athingu nĩmagakena maarĩhĩrio, rĩrĩa magathambia nyarĩrĩ ciao thakame-inĩ ya arĩa aaganu.
The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
11 Hĩndĩ ĩyo andũ nĩmakoiga atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ nĩ kũrĩ na irĩhi rĩa arĩa athingu; ti-itherũ nĩ kũrĩ Ngai ũrĩa ũtuagĩra andũ a thĩ ciira.”
So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God that judges in the earth.
