1 Wee Jehova, o Wee Mũrungu ũrĩa ũrĩhanagĩria, Wee Mũrungu ũrĩa ũrĩhanagĩria-rĩ, cangarara.
O YHWH El, to whom vengeance belongeth; O El, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself.
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 a reward to the proud.
3 Wee Jehova-rĩ, nĩ nginya rĩ andũ arĩa aaganu megũtũũra makenete, nĩ nginya rĩ andũ arĩa aaganu megũtũũra marũũhagia?
YHWH, how long shall the wicked, 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 hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
5 Mahehenjaga andũ aku, Wee Jehova, makahinyĩrĩria igai rĩaku.
They break in pieces thy people, O YHWH, and afflict thine 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.”
Yet they say, YAH shall not see, neither shall the Elohim 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 chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know?
11 Jehova nĩoĩ meciiria ma mũndũ; ĩĩ, oĩ atĩ meciiria mao nĩ ma tũhũ.
YHWH 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 YAH, and teachest him 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 adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked.
14 Nĩgũkorwo Jehova ndagatiganĩria andũ ake; igai rĩake ndarĩ hĩndĩ angĩrĩtirika.
For YHWH 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.
But 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 evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
17 Tiga Jehova aandeithirie-rĩ, ingĩakuire o narua, ngatũũre kũu ũkiri-inĩ.
Unless YHWH had 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 mercy, O YHWH, held me up.
19 Rĩrĩa mĩtangĩko yaingĩhire thĩinĩ wakwa-rĩ, Wee wahooreririe, ũgĩkenia ngoro yakwa.
In the multitude of my thoughts 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 throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law?
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 the innocent blood.
22 No Jehova nĩwe ũtuĩkĩte kĩirigo gĩakwa kĩa hinya, na Ngai wakwa, o we rwaro rwakwa rwa ihiga harĩa njũragĩra.
But YHWH is my defence; and my Elohim is 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 shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; yea, YHWH our Elohim shall cut them off
