< Psalms 97 >
1 The LORD reigns, let the earth rejoice; let the distant shores be glad.
Jehova nĩarathamaka, thĩ nĩĩgĩkene; mabũrũri marĩa marĩ ndwere-inĩ cia iria nĩmacanjamũke.
2 Clouds and darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are His throne’s foundation.
Athiũrũrũkĩirio nĩ matu na nduma ndumanu; ũthingu na kĩhooto nĩcio mũthingi wa gĩtĩ gĩake kĩa ũnene.
3 Fire goes before Him and consumes His foes on every side.
Mwaki ũmũthiiaga mbere ũgĩcinaga thũ ciake na mĩena yothe.
4 His lightning illuminates the world; the earth sees and trembles.
Heni ciake imũrĩkaga thĩ yothe; thĩ ĩcionaga ĩkainaina.
5 The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the LORD, before the Lord of all the earth.
Irĩma itwekaga o ta mũhũra mbere ya Jehova, igatweka irĩ mbere ya Mwathani wa thĩ yothe.
6 The heavens proclaim His righteousness; all the peoples see His glory.
Igũrũ rĩanagĩrĩra ũthingu wake, nao andũ othe makoona riiri wake.
7 All worshipers of images are put to shame— those who boast in idols. Worship Him, all you gods!
Andũ arĩa othe mahooyaga mĩhianano mĩicũhie nĩmaconorithagio, acio meerahaga na mĩhianano: inyuĩ ngai ici, mũinamĩrĩrei mũmũhooe.
8 Zion hears and rejoices, and the towns of Judah exult because of Your judgments, O LORD.
Zayuni ĩiguaga ũguo ĩgakena, namo matũũra ma Juda magacanjamũka, tondũ wa matuĩro maku ma ciira, Wee Jehova.
9 For You, O LORD, are Most High over all the earth; You are exalted far above all gods.
Nĩgũkorwo Wee Jehova, nĩwe Ũrĩa-Ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno wa thĩ yothe; wee nĩũtũũgĩrĩtio mũno igũrũ rĩa ngai ciothe.
10 Hate evil, O you who love the LORD! He preserves the souls of His saints; He delivers them from the hand of the wicked.
Arĩa endi Jehova nĩmathũũre ũũru, nĩgũkorwo nĩagitagĩra mĩoyo ya arĩa ake ehokeku, na akamateithũra kuuma moko-inĩ ma arĩa aaganu.
11 Light shines on the righteous, gladness on the upright in heart.
Ũtheri nĩwarĩire arĩa athingu na arĩa arũngĩrĩru ngoro makaiyũrwo nĩ gĩkeno.
12 Rejoice in the LORD, you righteous ones, and praise His holy name.
Kenerai Jehova, inyuĩ arĩa athingu, mũkĩgooce rĩĩtwa rĩake rĩamũre.
