Thaburi 94
1 Wee Jehova, o Wee Mũrungu ũrĩa ũrĩhanagĩria, Wee Mũrungu ũrĩa ũrĩhanagĩria-rĩ, cangarara.
O LORD, Thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, Thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, 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 to the proud their recompense.
3 Wee Jehova-rĩ, nĩ nginya rĩ andũ arĩa aaganu megũtũũra makenete, nĩ nginya rĩ andũ arĩa aaganu megũtũũra marũũhagia?
LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked exult?
4 Maaragia ndeto cia mwĩgaatho; andũ arĩa othe meekaga ũũru, o maiyũrĩtwo nĩ mwĩtĩĩo.
They gush out, they speak arrogancy; all the workers of iniquity bear themselves loftily.
5 Mahehenjaga andũ aku, Wee Jehova, makahinyĩrĩria igai rĩaku.
They crush Thy people, O LORD, and afflict Thy heritage.
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 they say: 'The LORD will not see, neither will the God of Jacob give heed.'
8 Mwĩmenyererei inyuĩ arĩa mwagĩte ũũgĩ mũrĩ gatagatĩ-inĩ ka andũ; inyuĩ andũ aya akĩĩgu, mũgaakĩũhĩga rĩ?
Consider, ye brutish among the people; and ye fools, when will ye understand?
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 nations, shall not He correct? even He that teacheth man knowledge?
11 Jehova nĩoĩ meciiria ma mũndũ; ĩĩ, oĩ atĩ meciiria mao nĩ ma tũhũ.
The LORD 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;
Happy is the man whom Thou instructest, O LORD, and 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 the LORD 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 right shall return unto justice, 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 up for me against the workers of iniquity?
17 Tiga Jehova aandeithirie-rĩ, ingĩakuire o narua, ngatũũre kũu ũkiri-inĩ.
Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had soon dwelt in silence.
18 Rĩrĩa ndoigire atĩrĩ, “Kũgũrũ gwakwa nĩkũratenderũka,” wendani waku, Wee Jehova, nĩwandiirĩrĩire.
If I say: 'My foot slippeth', Thy mercy, O LORD, holdeth me up.
19 Rĩrĩa mĩtangĩko yaingĩhire thĩinĩ wakwa-rĩ, Wee wahooreririe, ũgĩkenia ngoro yakwa.
When my cares are many within me, Thy comforts delight 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 seat of wickedness have fellowship with Thee, which frameth mischief by statute?
21 Monganaga hamwe nĩguo mokĩrĩre mũndũ ũrĩa mũthingu, na magatuĩra mũndũ ũtehĩtie ooragwo.
They gather themselves 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 the LORD hath been 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 hath brought upon them their own iniquity, and will cut them off in their own evil; the LORD our God will cut them off.
