Thaburi 83
1 Thaburi ya Asafu Wee Ngai-rĩ, ndũgakire; tiga gũikara ũtumĩtie, Wee Mũrungu, ndũgaikare wĩnyiitanĩirie.
A song. A psalm of Asaph. God, please do not stay silent! You can't remain unmoved! God, you must not keep quiet!
2 Ta rora wone ũrĩa thũ ciaku iranegena, acio magũthũire makambararia mĩtwe yao.
Can't you hear the roars of your enemies? Can't you see how those who hate you are defiantly lifting up their heads?
3 Mathugundaga ndundu ya gũũkĩrĩra andũ aku na wara; maciiragĩrĩra gũũkĩrĩra andũ arĩa wendete.
They invent cunning plans to conspire against your people; they plot against those you treasure.
4 Meranaga atĩrĩ, “Ũkai, tũmaniine matige gũtuĩka rũrĩrĩ, nĩguo rĩĩtwa rĩa Isiraeli rĩtikanacooke kũririkanwo rĩngĩ.”
They say, “Come on! Let's destroy them as a nation so the name ‘Israel’ will be completely forgotten.”
5 Maciiraga marĩ na ngoro ĩmwe; maiguithanagĩria magũũkĩrĩre:
They all agree in their conspiracy; they've made a treaty together to attack you—
6 andũ a hema cia Edomu, na cia Aishumaeli, na cia Moabi, na cia Ahagari,
the people of Edom, the Ishmaelites, Moab, and the Hagirites;
7 na cia Gebali, na cia Amoni, na cia Amaleki, na cia Filistia, hamwe na andũ a Turo.
the people of Gebal and Ammon and Amalek, Philistia, and the inhabitants of Tyre.
8 O na Ashuri nĩmegwatanĩtie nao nĩguo mateithĩrĩrie njiaro cia Loti.
Assyria too has joined them, allied with the descendants of Lot. (Selah)
9 Meeke o ta ũrĩa wekire Amidiani, na o ta ũrĩa wekire Sisera na Jabini rũũĩ-inĩ rwa Kishoni,
Do to them what you did to Midian, what you did to Sisera and Jabin at the Kishon River.
10 o acio maaniinĩirwo Enidoru, na magĩtuĩka ta thumu wa kũnoria tĩĩri.
They were destroyed at Endor and became like manure to fertilize the ground.
11 Tũma andũ ao arĩa marĩ igweta mahaane ta Orebu na Zeebu, anene ao othe ũmahaananie na Zeba na Zalimuna,
Make their leaders like Oreb and Zeeb; all their rulers like Zebah and Zalmunna,
12 arĩa moigire atĩrĩ, “Nĩtwĩgwatĩrei bũrũri wa ũrĩithio wa Ngai ũtuĩke witũ.”
for they said, “Let's take the pastures of God for ourselves!”
13 Wee Ngai wakwa, matue ta rũkũngũ rũrĩa rũgũrũkagio, mahaane o ta mũũngũ ũmbũrĩtwo nĩ rũhuho.
My God, make them like whirling tumbleweeds, chaff blown away by the wind.
14 O ta ũrĩa mwaki ũcinaga mũtitũ kana ta rũrĩrĩmbĩ rũgĩcina irĩma-rĩ,
Just like fire that burns the forest, a flame that sets fire to the mountains,
15 maingatithie o ro ũguo na kĩhuhũkanio gĩaku, na ũmamakie mũno na huho ciaku nene.
in the same way chase them down with your storm, terrify them with your whirlwind.
16 Humba mothiũ mao thoni, nĩgeetha andũ marongorie rĩĩtwa rĩaku, Wee Jehova.
Shame them in defeat so that they come to you, Lord!
17 Marotũũra maconokete na marĩ amaku; marokua na gĩconoko kĩnene.
Make them ashamed, terrify them forever so that they die in disgrace.
18 Tũma mamenye atĩ Wee, o Wee wĩtagwo Jehova, atĩ Wee nĩwe Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno, o igũrũ rĩa thĩ yothe.
Let them understand that you alone, called the Lord, are the Most High who rules over all the earth.
