Thaburi 94
1 Wee Jehova, o Wee Mũrungu ũrĩa ũrĩhanagĩria, Wee Mũrungu ũrĩa ũrĩhanagĩria-rĩ, cangarara.
God of vengeance—YHWH! God of vengeance, shine forth.
2 Arahũka, Wee mũtuanĩri ciira wa andũ othe a thĩ; kĩrĩhe andũ arĩa etĩĩi o kĩrĩa kĩmagĩrĩire.
Be lifted up, judging the earth, Send back a repayment on the proud.
3 Wee Jehova-rĩ, nĩ nginya rĩ andũ arĩa aaganu megũtũũra makenete, nĩ nginya rĩ andũ arĩa aaganu megũtũũra marũũhagia?
Until when do the wicked, O YHWH—Until when do the wicked exult?
4 Maaragia ndeto cia mwĩgaatho; andũ arĩa othe meekaga ũũru, o maiyũrĩtwo nĩ mwĩtĩĩo.
They utter—they speak arrogance, All working iniquity boast [about] themselves.
5 Mahehenjaga andũ aku, Wee Jehova, makahinyĩrĩria igai rĩaku.
Your people, O YHWH, they bruise, And they afflict Your inheritance.
6 Mooragaga mũtumia wa ndigwa, na mũndũ wa kũngĩ; mooragaga ciana iria itarĩ maithe.
They slay widow and sojourner, And they murder fatherless ones.
7 Moigaga atĩrĩ, “Jehova ndangĩona; Ngai wa Jakubu-rĩ, ndangĩrũmbũiya.”
And they say, “YAH does not see, And the God of Jacob does not consider.”
8 Mwĩmenyererei inyuĩ arĩa mwagĩte ũũgĩ mũrĩ gatagatĩ-inĩ ka andũ; inyuĩ andũ aya akĩĩgu, mũgaakĩũhĩga rĩ?
Consider, you brutish among the people, And you foolish, when do you act wisely?
9 Ũrĩa wombire gũtũ-rĩ, ndangĩigua? Ũcio wombire riitho-rĩ, ndangĩona?
He who plants the ear, does He not hear? He who forms the eye, does He not see?
10 Ũcio ũrũithagia ndũrĩrĩ-rĩ, ndangĩherithania? O ũcio ũrutaga andũ-rĩ, ndarĩ ũmenyo?
He who is instructing nations, does He not reprove? He who is teaching man knowledge [is] YHWH.
11 Jehova nĩoĩ meciiria ma mũndũ; ĩĩ, oĩ atĩ meciiria mao nĩ ma tũhũ.
He knows the thoughts of man, that they [are] vanity.
12 Wee Jehova, kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa Wee ũtaaraga, o mũndũ ũcio ũrutaga watho waku;
O the blessedness of the man Whom You instruct, O YAH, And teach him out of Your law,
13 nĩũgaatũma ahoorere matukũ-inĩ ma thĩĩna, o nginya rĩrĩa mũndũ ũrĩa mwaganu akenjerwo irima.
To give rest to him from days of evil, While a pit is dug for the wicked.
14 Nĩgũkorwo Jehova ndagatiganĩria andũ ake; igai rĩake ndarĩ hĩndĩ angĩrĩtirika.
For YHWH does not leave His people, And does not forsake His inheritance.
15 Ũtuanĩri ciira wa kĩhooto nĩũgakwo rĩngĩ igũrũ rĩa ũthingu, nao andũ othe arĩa arũngĩrĩru ngoro maũrũmagĩrĩre.
For judgment turns back to righteousness, And after it all the upright of heart.
16 Nũũ ũkwarahũka, andũĩrĩre harĩ arĩa aaganu? Nũũ ũkũndũgamĩrĩra, andũĩrĩre harĩ arĩa meekaga ũũru?
Who rises up for me with evildoers? Who stations himself for me with workers of iniquity?
17 Tiga Jehova aandeithirie-rĩ, ingĩakuire o narua, ngatũũre kũu ũkiri-inĩ.
Unless YHWH [were] a help to me, My soul had almost inhabited silence.
18 Rĩrĩa ndoigire atĩrĩ, “Kũgũrũ gwakwa nĩkũratenderũka,” wendani waku, Wee Jehova, nĩwandiirĩrĩire.
If I have said, “My foot has slipped,” Your kindness, O YHWH, supports me.
19 Rĩrĩa mĩtangĩko yaingĩhire thĩinĩ wakwa-rĩ, Wee wahooreririe, ũgĩkenia ngoro yakwa.
In the abundance of my thoughts within me, Your 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?
Is a throne of mischief joined [with] You? A framer of perverseness by statute?
21 Monganaga hamwe nĩguo mokĩrĩre mũndũ ũrĩa mũthingu, na magatuĩra mũndũ ũtehĩtie ooragwo.
They decree against the soul of the righteous, And declare innocent blood wicked.
22 No Jehova nĩwe ũtuĩkĩte kĩirigo gĩakwa kĩa hinya, na Ngai wakwa, o we rwaro rwakwa rwa ihiga harĩa njũragĩra.
And YHWH is for a high place to me, And my God [is] for a rock—my refuge,
23 We nĩakamaherithia nĩ ũndũ wa mehia mao na amaniine nĩ ũndũ wa waganu wao; Jehova Ngai witũ nĩakamaniina.
And He turns back their iniquity on them, And in their wickedness cuts them off; Our God YHWH cuts them off!
