Thaburi 94
1 Wee Jehova, o Wee Mũrungu ũrĩa ũrĩhanagĩria, Wee Mũrungu ũrĩa ũrĩhanagĩria-rĩ, cangarara.
O God of vengeances, Jehovah, God of vengeances, shine forth;
2 Arahũka, Wee mũtuanĩri ciira wa andũ othe a thĩ; kĩrĩhe andũ arĩa etĩĩi o kĩrĩa kĩmagĩrĩire.
Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth, render the reward to the proud.
3 Wee Jehova-rĩ, nĩ nginya rĩ andũ arĩa aaganu megũtũũra makenete, nĩ nginya rĩ andũ arĩa aaganu megũtũũra marũũhagia?
How long shall the wicked, O Jehovah, how long shall the wicked triumph?
4 Maaragia ndeto cia mwĩgaatho; andũ arĩa othe meekaga ũũru, o maiyũrĩtwo nĩ mwĩtĩĩo.
[How long] shall they utter [and] speak insolence — all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
5 Mahehenjaga andũ aku, Wee Jehova, makahinyĩrĩria igai rĩaku.
They crush thy people, O Jehovah, and afflict thine inheritance;
6 Mooragaga mũtumia wa ndigwa, na mũndũ wa kũngĩ; mooragaga ciana iria itarĩ maithe.
They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless,
7 Moigaga atĩrĩ, “Jehova ndangĩona; Ngai wa Jakubu-rĩ, ndangĩrũmbũiya.”
And say, Jah will not see, neither will the God of Jacob regard [it].
8 Mwĩmenyererei inyuĩ arĩa mwagĩte ũũgĩ mũrĩ gatagatĩ-inĩ ka andũ; inyuĩ andũ aya akĩĩgu, mũgaakĩũhĩga rĩ?
Understand, ye brutish among the people; and ye fools, when will ye be wise?
9 Ũrĩa wombire gũtũ-rĩ, ndangĩigua? Ũcio wombire riitho-rĩ, ndangĩona?
He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? He that formed the eye, shall he not see?
10 Ũcio ũrũithagia ndũrĩrĩ-rĩ, ndangĩherithania? O ũcio ũrutaga andũ-rĩ, ndarĩ ũmenyo?
He that instructeth the nations, shall not he correct — he that teacheth man knowledge?
11 Jehova nĩoĩ meciiria ma mũndũ; ĩĩ, oĩ atĩ meciiria mao nĩ ma tũhũ.
Jehovah knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
12 Wee Jehova, kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa Wee ũtaaraga, o mũndũ ũcio ũrutaga watho waku;
Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Jah, and whom thou teachest out of thy law;
13 nĩũgaatũma ahoorere matukũ-inĩ ma thĩĩna, o nginya rĩrĩa mũndũ ũrĩa mwaganu akenjerwo irima.
That thou mayest give him rest from the days of evil, until the pit be digged for the wicked.
14 Nĩgũkorwo Jehova ndagatiganĩria andũ ake; igai rĩake ndarĩ hĩndĩ angĩrĩtirika.
For Jehovah will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance;
15 Ũtuanĩri ciira wa kĩhooto nĩũgakwo rĩngĩ igũrũ rĩa ũthingu, nao andũ othe arĩa arũngĩrĩru ngoro maũrũmagĩrĩre.
For judgment shall return unto righteousness, and all the upright in heart shall follow it.
16 Nũũ ũkwarahũka, andũĩrĩre harĩ arĩa aaganu? Nũũ ũkũndũgamĩrĩra, andũĩrĩre harĩ arĩa meekaga ũũru?
Who will rise up for me against the evil-doers? who will stand for me against the workers of iniquity?
17 Tiga Jehova aandeithirie-rĩ, ingĩakuire o narua, ngatũũre kũu ũkiri-inĩ.
If Jehovah had not been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.
18 Rĩrĩa ndoigire atĩrĩ, “Kũgũrũ gwakwa nĩkũratenderũka,” wendani waku, Wee Jehova, nĩwandiirĩrĩire.
When I said, My foot slippeth, thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, held me up.
19 Rĩrĩa mĩtangĩko yaingĩhire thĩinĩ wakwa-rĩ, Wee wahooreririe, ũgĩkenia ngoro yakwa.
In the multitude of my anxious thoughts within me thy comforts have delighted my soul.
20 Gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene kĩa ungumania-rĩ, hihi no kĩgĩe na ngwatanĩro nawe, o kĩrĩa kĩrehanagĩra mĩnyamaro nĩ ũndũ wa matuĩro ma kĩo?
Shall the throne of wickedness be united to thee, which frameth mischief into a law?
21 Monganaga hamwe nĩguo mokĩrĩre mũndũ ũrĩa mũthingu, na magatuĩra mũndũ ũtehĩtie ooragwo.
They band together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn innocent blood.
22 No Jehova nĩwe ũtuĩkĩte kĩirigo gĩakwa kĩa hinya, na Ngai wakwa, o we rwaro rwakwa rwa ihiga harĩa njũragĩra.
But Jehovah will be my high tower; and my God the rock of my refuge.
23 We nĩakamaherithia nĩ ũndũ wa mehia mao na amaniine nĩ ũndũ wa waganu wao; Jehova Ngai witũ nĩakamaniina.
And he will bring upon them their iniquity, and will cut them off in their own evil: Jehovah our God will cut them off.
