Thaburi 83
1 Thaburi ya Asafu Wee Ngai-rĩ, ndũgakire; tiga gũikara ũtumĩtie, Wee Mũrungu, ndũgaikare wĩnyiitanĩirie.
“A song or psalm of Assaph.” O God, take no rest for thyself: be not silent and keep not still, O God!
2 Ta rora wone ũrĩa thũ ciaku iranegena, acio magũthũire makambararia mĩtwe yao.
For, lo, thy enemies make a tumult, and they that hate thee have lifted up their head.
3 Mathugundaga ndundu ya gũũkĩrĩra andũ aku na wara; maciiragĩrĩra gũũkĩrĩra andũ arĩa wendete.
Against thy people they take crafty secret device, and they consult against those whom thou protectest.
4 Meranaga atĩrĩ, “Ũkai, tũmaniine matige gũtuĩka rũrĩrĩ, nĩguo rĩĩtwa rĩa Isiraeli rĩtikanacooke kũririkanwo rĩngĩ.”
They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; and the name of Israel shall be remembered no more.
5 Maciiraga marĩ na ngoro ĩmwe; maiguithanagĩria magũũkĩrĩre:
For they have consulted cordially together; against thee they make a covenant:
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 Hagarenes;
7 na cia Gebali, na cia Amoni, na cia Amaleki, na cia Filistia, hamwe na andũ a Turo.
Gebal, and 'Ammon, and 'Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;
8 O na Ashuri nĩmegwatanĩtie nao nĩguo mateithĩrĩrie njiaro cia Loti.
Also Asshur is joined with them; they have become an arm unto the children 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 [unto] Midian; as to Sissera, as to Jabin, at the brook Kishon:
10 o acio maaniinĩirwo Enidoru, na magĩtuĩka ta thumu wa kũnoria tĩĩri.
Who were annihilated at 'En-dor; 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,
Render them, their nobles, like 'Oreb, and like Zeeb; yea, like Zebach and like Zalmunna' all their princes;
12 arĩa moigire atĩrĩ, “Nĩtwĩgwatĩrei bũrũri wa ũrĩithio wa Ngai ũtuĩke witũ.”
Who said, Let us conquer for ourselves the dwellings of God,
13 Wee Ngai wakwa, matue ta rũkũngũ rũrĩa rũgũrũkagio, mahaane o ta mũũngũ ũmbũrĩtwo nĩ rũhuho.
O my God, render them like the thistle-down, like stubble before the wind.
14 O ta ũrĩa mwaki ũcinaga mũtitũ kana ta rũrĩrĩmbĩ rũgĩcina irĩma-rĩ,
As the fire burneth up 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 storm, and with thy whirlwind do thou terrify them.
16 Humba mothiũ mao thoni, nĩgeetha andũ marongorie rĩĩtwa rĩaku, Wee Jehova.
Fill their faces with shame, that they may seek thy name, O Lord!
17 Marotũũra maconokete na marĩ amaku; marokua na gĩconoko kĩnene.
Let them be made ashamed and terrified for ever and aye; yea, let them be put to the blush 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, whose name is the Eternal, art by thyself alone, the Most High over all the earth.
