Thaburi 1

1 Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa ũtatwaranaga na ũtaaro wa andũ arĩa aaganu, kana akarũgama njĩra-inĩ ya andũ arĩa mehagia, o na kana agaikarĩra gĩtĩ kĩa arĩa manyũrũranagia.

Blessed is the man who hath not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stood in the way of sinners, nor sat in the chair of pestilence.

2 No rĩrĩ, nĩ watho wa Jehova akenagĩra, na agecũũranagia ũhoro wa watho wake kũrĩ mũthenya kana ũtukũ.

But his will is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he shall meditate day and night.

3 Mũndũ ũcio ahaana ta mũtĩ mũhaande tũmĩtaro-inĩ twa maaĩ, naguo ũciaraga maciaro maguo hĩndĩ ya mo yakinya, namo mathangũ maguo matihoohaga. Na rĩrĩ, ũndũ o wothe ekaga nĩũgaacagĩra.

And he shall be like a tree which is planted near the running waters, which shall bring forth its fruit, in due season. And his leaf shall not fall off: and all whatsoever he shall do shall prosper.

4 No andũ arĩa aaganu matihaana ũguo! Mahaana ta mũũngũ ũrĩa ũmbũragwo nĩ rũhuho.

Not so the wicked, not so: but like the dust, which the wind driveth from the face of the earth.

5 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ arĩa aaganu matigetiiria ciira-inĩ, kana andũ arĩa ehia metiirie kĩũngano-inĩ kĩa andũ arĩa athingu.

Therefore the wicked shall not rise again in judgment: nor sinners in the council of the just.

6 Nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩamenyagĩrĩra njĩra ya andũ arĩa athingu, no andũ arĩa aaganu marĩ njĩra-inĩ ya kũũra.

For the Lord knoweth the way of the just: and the way of the wicked shall perish.
