1 Thaburi ya Asafu Wee Ngai-rĩ, ndũgakire; tiga gũikara ũtumĩtie, Wee Mũrungu, ndũgaikare wĩnyiitanĩirie.
A Song; a Psalm of Asaph. O God, keep not silence; hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God:
2 Ta rora wone ũrĩa thũ ciaku iranegena, acio magũthũire makambararia mĩtwe yao.
For behold, thine enemies make a tumult; and they that hate thee lift up the head.
3 Mathugundaga ndundu ya gũũkĩrĩra andũ aku na wara; maciiragĩrĩra gũũkĩrĩra andũ arĩa wendete.
They take crafty counsel against thy people, and consult against thy hidden ones:
4 Meranaga atĩrĩ, “Ũkai, tũmaniine matige gũtuĩka rũrĩrĩ, nĩguo rĩĩtwa rĩa Isiraeli rĩtikanacooke kũririkanwo rĩngĩ.”
They say, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, and let the name of Israel be mentioned no more.
5 Maciiraga marĩ na ngoro ĩmwe; maiguithanagĩria magũũkĩrĩre:
For they have consulted together with one heart: they have made an alliance together against thee.
6 andũ a hema cia Edomu, na cia Aishumaeli, na cia Moabi, na cia Ahagari,
The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagarites;
7 na cia Gebali, na cia Amoni, na cia Amaleki, na cia Filistia, hamwe na andũ a Turo.
Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia, with the inhabitants of Tyre;
8 O na Ashuri nĩmegwatanĩtie nao nĩguo mateithĩrĩrie njiaro cia Loti.
Asshur also is joined with them: they are an arm to the sons of Lot. (Selah)
9 Meeke o ta ũrĩa wekire Amidiani, na o ta ũrĩa wekire Sisera na Jabini rũũĩ-inĩ rwa Kishoni,
Do unto them as to Midian; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the torrent of Kishon:
10 o acio maaniinĩirwo Enidoru, na magĩtuĩka ta thumu wa kũnoria tĩĩri.
Who were destroyed at Endor; they became as dung for the ground.
11 Tũma andũ ao arĩa marĩ igweta mahaane ta Orebu na Zeebu, anene ao othe ũmahaananie na Zeba na Zalimuna,
Make their nobles as Oreb and as Zeeb; and all their chiefs as Zebah and as Zalmunna.
12 arĩa moigire atĩrĩ, “Nĩtwĩgwatĩrei bũrũri wa ũrĩithio wa Ngai ũtuĩke witũ.”
For they have said, Let us take to ourselves God's dwelling-places in possession.
13 Wee Ngai wakwa, matue ta rũkũngũ rũrĩa rũgũrũkagio, mahaane o ta mũũngũ ũmbũrĩtwo nĩ rũhuho.
O my God, make them like a whirling thing, like stubble before the wind.
14 O ta ũrĩa mwaki ũcinaga mũtitũ kana ta rũrĩrĩmbĩ rũgĩcina irĩma-rĩ,
As fire burneth a forest, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire,
15 maingatithie o ro ũguo na kĩhuhũkanio gĩaku, na ũmamakie mũno na huho ciaku nene.
So pursue them with thy tempest, and terrify them with thy whirlwind.
16 Humba mothiũ mao thoni, nĩgeetha andũ marongorie rĩĩtwa rĩaku, Wee Jehova.
Fill their faces with shame, that they may seek thy name, O Jehovah.
17 Marotũũra maconokete na marĩ amaku; marokua na gĩconoko kĩnene.
Let them be put to shame and be dismayed for ever, and let them be confounded and perish:
18 Tũma mamenye atĩ Wee, o Wee wĩtagwo Jehova, atĩ Wee nĩwe Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno, o igũrũ rĩa thĩ yothe.
That they may know that thou alone, whose name is Jehovah, art the Most High over all the earth.
