< Psalms 68 >
1 Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered. Let also those who hate him flee before him.
Thaburi ya Daudi Ngai nĩakĩarahũke, ahurunje thũ ciake; nao arĩa mamũthũire nĩmoore mehere mbere yake.
2 As smoke is driven away, so drive them away. As wax melts before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
O ta ũrĩa ndogo yũmbũragwo nĩ rũhuho-rĩ, ũromombũra; o ta ũrĩa mũhũra ũringũkagio nĩ mwaki-rĩ, andũ arĩa aaganu marothira marĩ mbere ya Ngai.
3 But let the righteous be glad. Let them exult before God. Yea, let them rejoice with gladness.
No rĩrĩ, arĩa athingu marocanjamũka na makene marĩ mbere ya Ngai; marorũũhia nĩ gũkena.
4 Sing to God, sing praises to his name. Cast up a highway for him who rides through the deserts. His name is Jehovah, and exult ye before him.
Inĩrai Ngai, mũine mũgooce rĩĩtwa rĩake, kumiai ũcio ũhaicaga matu ta mbarathi, rĩĩtwa rĩake nĩ Jehova; gĩcanjamũkei mũrĩ mbere yake.
5 A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.
Ngai ũrĩa ũikaraga gĩikaro gĩake gĩtheru-rĩ, nĩwe ithe wa ciana cia ngoriai, na mũgitĩri wa atumia a ndigwa.
6 God sets the lonely in families. He brings out the prisoners into prosperity, but the rebellious dwell in a parched land.
Ngai nĩatũmaga arĩa maikaraga marĩ oiki magĩe na mĩciĩ, arĩa ohe amohorithagia na akamoimagaria; no andũ arĩa aremi matũũraga bũrũri mũũmũ.
7 O God, when thou went forth before thy people, when thou marched through the wilderness (Selah)
Wee Ngai rĩrĩa woimagarire ũrĩ mbere ya andũ aku, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa watuĩkanĩirie rũngʼũrĩ-inĩ-rĩ,
8 the earth trembled, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God, Sinai at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
thĩ nĩyathingithire, narĩo igũrũ rĩkiuria mbura, nĩ ũndũ wa gũũka kwa Ngai, o Ũcio Ngai wa Sinai, na nĩ ũndũ wa gũũka kwa Ngai, Ngai wa Isiraeli.
9 Thou, O God, sent a plentiful rain. Thou confirmed thine inheritance when it was weary.
Wee Ngai-rĩ, nĩwoiririe mbura nyingĩ, ũkĩnyootora bũrũri ũcio wa igai rĩaku ũrĩa wangʼarĩte.
10 Thy congregation dwelt in it. Thou, O God, prepared for the poor from thy goodness.
Andũ aku magĩtũũra kuo, na kuumana na ũingĩ wa indo ciaku, Wee Ngai-rĩ, ũgĩtanahĩra athĩĩni acio.
11 The Lord gave the word. Great was the company of those who published it.
Mwathani nĩaheanire ũhoro, nao arĩa maawanĩrĩire maarĩ gĩkundi kĩnene:
12 Kings of armies fled quickly, and she who remained at home divided the spoil.
“Athamaki na mbũtũ cia ita moraga na ihenya; nakuo kambĩ-inĩ andũ magayanaga indo cia ndaho.
13 Though ye lie between two boundaries, it is as the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her pinions with yellow gold.
O na rĩrĩa mũkomete hakuhĩ na mwaki wa gĩikaro kĩa nja, mũhaana o ta mathagu ma ndutura magemetio na betha, nacio njoya ciayo ikagemio na thahabu ĩkũhenia.”
14 When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was as it snows in Zalmon.
Rĩrĩa Mwene-Hinya-Wothe aahurunjire athamaki bũrũri-inĩ-rĩ, kwahaanaga o ta rĩrĩa tharunji ĩgwĩte kĩrĩma-inĩ gĩa Zalimoni.
15 A mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan; a high mountain is the mountain of Bashan.
Ĩ irĩma cia Bashani ti irĩma irĩ riiri; irĩma cia Bashani irĩ tũcũmbĩrĩ tũingĩ.
16 Why look ye askance, ye high mountains, at the mountain which God has desired for his abode? Yea, Jehovah will dwell in it forever.
Inyuĩ irĩma ici irĩ tũcũmbĩrĩ tũingĩ-rĩ, mũrarora na ũiru nĩkĩ, kĩrĩma kĩrĩa Ngai athuurĩte gĩtuĩke gĩikaro gĩake, o kũrĩa Jehova we mwene egũtũũra nginya tene?
17 The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands upon thousands. The Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the sanctuary.
Ngaari cia Ngai cia ita nĩ makũmi ma ngiri, na ngiri cia ngiri; Mwathani nĩokĩte arĩ gatagatĩ ga cio oimĩte Kĩrĩma gĩa Sinai, agatoonya handũ hake haamũre.
18 Thou have ascended on high. Thou have led captivity captive. Thou have received gifts among men, yea, among the rebellious also, that Jehovah God might dwell with them.
Rĩrĩa wambatire igũrũ, nĩwatongoririe arĩa maatahĩtwo mũtongoro-inĩ waku; nĩwamũkĩrire iheo kuuma kũrĩ andũ, o na ũgĩciamũkĩra kuuma kũrĩ andũ arĩa aremi, nĩgeetha Wee, Jehova Ngai, ũtũũre kuo.
19 Blessed be the Lord, who bears our burden daily, even the God who is our salvation. (Selah)
Goocai Mwathani, o we Mũrungu Mũhonokia witũ, o we ũkuuaga mĩrigo iitũ mũthenya o mũthenya.
20 God is to us a God of deliverances, and escape from death belongs to Jehovah the Lord.
Ngai witũ nĩ Mũrungu ũhonokanagia; Mwathani Jehova nĩwe rĩũrĩro rĩa kuuma gĩkuũ-inĩ.
21 But God will smite through the head of his enemies, the hairy scalp of him who still goes in his guiltiness.
Ti-itherũ Ngai nĩakamemenda ciongo cia thũ ciake, amemende ruototia rwa arĩa mathiiaga na mbere kwĩhia.
22 The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan. I will bring again from the depths of the sea,
Mwathani ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩngaruta thũ cianyu kuuma Bashani; ndĩcirute iria-inĩ kũrĩa kũriku,
23 that thou may dash thy foot in blood, that the tongue of thy dogs may have its portion from enemies.
nĩgeetha mũtobokie makinya manyu thakame-inĩ ya thũ cianyu, o nacio nĩmĩ cia ngui cianyu igĩe na igai rĩacio.”
24 They have seen thy goings, O God, even the goings of my God, my King, into the sanctuary.
Wee Ngai-rĩ, mũtongoro waku nĩwonekete, o mũtongoro wa Mũrungu wakwa na Mũthamaki agĩtoonya handũ-harĩa-haamũre.
25 The singers went before, the minstrels followed after, in the midst of the damsels playing with timbrels.
Aini a nyĩmbo nĩo matongoretie, makarũmĩrĩrwo nĩ ahũũri inanda; hamwe nao nĩ airĩtu arĩa marahũũra tũhembe.
26 Bless ye God in the congregations, the lord of the fountain of Israel.
Goocai Ngai, kĩũngano-inĩ kĩrĩa kĩnene; mũgooce Jehova kĩũngano-inĩ gĩa Isiraeli.
27 There is little Benjamin their ruler, the rulers of Judah and their council, the rulers of Zebulun, the rulers of Naphtali.
Mũhĩrĩga ũrĩa mũnini wa Benjamini nĩguo ũcio ũmatongoretie, kĩrĩndĩ kĩnene kĩa athamaki a Juda kĩrĩ ho, na makarũmĩrĩrwo nĩ athamaki a Zebuluni na a Nafitali.
28 Thy God has commanded thy strength. Strengthen, O God, that which thou have wrought for us.
Wee Ngai-rĩ, onania ũhoti waku; tuonie hinya waku, Wee Ngai, ta ũrĩa waneka.
29 Because of thy temple at Jerusalem kings shall bring presents to thee.
Tondũ wa hekarũ yaku ĩrĩa ĩrĩ kũu Jerusalemu-rĩ, athamaki nĩmagakũrehagĩra iheo.
30 Rebuke the wild beast of the reeds, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the peoples, trampling under foot the pieces of silver. He has scattered the peoples that delight in war.
Rũithia nyamũ ĩrĩa ĩrĩ ithanjĩ-inĩ, ũkĩrũithie rũũru rwa ndegwa rũrĩa rũrĩ thĩinĩ wa tũcaũ twa ndũrĩrĩ. Ĩkwĩnyiihĩrie, na ĩkũrehere icunjĩ cia betha. Hurunja ndũrĩrĩ iria ikenagĩra mbaara.
31 Rulers shall come out of Egypt. Ethiopia shall hasten to stretch out her hands to God.
Abarũthi nĩmagooka moimĩte bũrũri wa Misiri; naguo bũrũri wa Kushi nĩũkenyiihĩria Ngai.
32 Sing to God, ye kingdoms of the earth. O sing praises to the Lord (Selah)
Inĩrai Ngai, inyuĩ mothamaki ma thĩ, inai mũgooce Mwathani,
33 to him who rides upon the heaven of heavens, which are of old. Lo, he utters his voice, a mighty voice.
ũcio ũthiiaga ahaicĩte matu macio ma igũrũ ma tene, ũcio ũrurumaga na mũgambo mũnene.
34 Ascribe ye strength to God. His excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the skies.
Anĩrĩrai hinya wa Ngai, we ũrĩa ũnene wake arĩ guo ũrũgamĩrĩire Isiraeli, o ũcio ũhoti wake ũrĩ kũu matu-inĩ.
35 O God, awesome out of thy holy places, the God of Israel, he gives strength and power to his people. Blessed be God.
Wee Ngai-rĩ, ũrĩ wa gwĩtigĩrwo, ũrĩ handũ hau haku haamũre; Mũrungu wa Isiraeli nĩaheaga andũ ake ũhoti o na hinya. Ngai arogoocwo!
