< Thaburi 83 >

1 Thaburi ya Asafu Wee Ngai-rĩ, ndũgakire; tiga gũikara ũtumĩtie, Wee Mũrungu, ndũgaikare wĩnyiitanĩirie.
“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, lo! thine enemies roar, And they who hate thee lift up their heads.
3 Mathugundaga ndundu ya gũũkĩrĩra andũ aku na wara; maciiragĩrĩra gũũkĩrĩra andũ arĩa wendete.
For they form secret plots against thy people, And consult together against thy chosen ones.
4 Meranaga atĩrĩ, “Ũkai, tũmaniine matige gũtuĩka rũrĩrĩ, nĩguo rĩĩtwa rĩa Isiraeli rĩtikanacooke kũririkanwo rĩngĩ.”
“Come,” say they, “let us blot them out from the number of the nations, That the name of Israel may no more be remembered!”
5 Maciiraga marĩ na ngoro ĩmwe; maiguithanagĩria magũũkĩrĩre:
With one consent they consult together, Against thee do they form a league, —
6 andũ a hema cia Edomu, na cia Aishumaeli, na cia Moabi, na cia Ahagari,
The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Of 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.
The Assyrians also are joined with them; They lend their strength to the children of Lot.
9 Meeke o ta ũrĩa wekire Amidiani, na o ta ũrĩa wekire Sisera na Jabini rũũĩ-inĩ rwa Kishoni,
Do to them as to the Midianites, As to Sisera, as to Jabin at the brook Kison,
10 o acio maaniinĩirwo Enidoru, na magĩtuĩka ta thumu wa kũnoria tĩĩri.
Who perished at Endor, And were trampled like dung to the earth.
11 Tũma andũ ao arĩa marĩ igweta mahaane ta Orebu na Zeebu, anene ao othe ũmahaananie na Zeba na Zalimuna,
Make their chiefs like Oreb and Zeeb; Yea, all their princes as Zeba and Zalmunna!
12 arĩa moigire atĩrĩ, “Nĩtwĩgwatĩrei bũrũri wa ũrĩithio wa Ngai ũtuĩke witũ.”
Who say, “Let us seize on God's habitations!”
13 Wee Ngai wakwa, matue ta rũkũngũ rũrĩa rũgũrũkagio, mahaane o ta mũũngũ ũmbũrĩtwo nĩ rũhuho.
Make them, O my God! like whirling chaff; Like stubble before the wind!
14 O ta ũrĩa mwaki ũcinaga mũtitũ kana ta rũrĩrĩmbĩ rũgĩcina irĩma-rĩ,
As fire consumeth the forest, And as flame setteth the mountains in a blaze,
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 storm!
16 Humba mothiũ mao thoni, nĩgeetha andũ marongorie rĩĩtwa rĩaku, Wee Jehova.
Cover 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 confounded! Yea, let them be put to shame, 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 thy name alone is Jehovah; That thou art the Most High over all the earth.
