Psalms 118
1 O give praise to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.
Cookeriai Jehova ngaatho nĩgũkorwo nĩ mwega; wendo wake nĩ wa tene na tene.
2 Let Israel now say, that his mercy is unchanging for ever.
Andũ a Isiraeli nĩmoige atĩrĩ, “Wendo wake nĩ wa tene na tene.”
3 Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy is unchanging for ever.
Nyũmba ya Harũni nĩyuuge atĩrĩ, “Wendo wake nĩ wa tene na tene.”
4 Let all worshippers of the Lord now say, that his mercy is unchanging for ever.
Andũ arĩa metigĩrĩte Jehova nĩmoige atĩrĩ, “Wendo wake nĩ wa tene na tene.”
5 I made my prayer to the Lord in my trouble: and the Lord gave me an answer, and put me in a wide place.
Ndakaĩire Jehova ndĩ mĩnyamaro-inĩ, nake akĩnjĩtĩka na akĩndeithũra.
6 The Lord is on my side; I will have no fear: what is man able to do to me?
Jehova arĩ hamwe na niĩ; ndingĩĩtigĩra. Mũndũ-rĩ, nĩ atĩa angĩhota kũnjĩka?
7 The Lord is my great helper: I will see my desire against my haters.
Jehova arĩ hamwe na niĩ; nĩwe mũndeithia. Nĩngerorera thũ ciakwa ikĩhootwo.
8 It is better to have faith in the Lord than to put one's hope in man.
Nĩ kaba kũũrĩra harĩ Jehova, gũkĩra kwĩhoka mũndũ.
9 It is better to have faith in the Lord than to put one's hope in rulers.
Nĩ kaba kũũrĩra harĩ Jehova, gũkĩra kwĩhoka anene.
10 All the nations have come round me; but in the name of the Lord I will have them cut down.
Ndarigiicĩirio nĩ ndũrĩrĩ ciothe, no tondũ wa kwĩhoka rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova, ngĩciananga.
11 They are round me, yes, they are all about me; but in the name of the Lord I will have them cut down.
Ciandigiicĩirie mĩena yothe, no tondũ wa kwĩhoka rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova, ngĩciananga.
12 They are round me like bees; but they are put out like a fire among thorns; for in the name of the Lord I will have them cut down.
Ciathiũrũrũkĩirie na mĩena yothe ta njũkĩ, no ikĩhora narua o ta mwaki wa mĩigua; tondũ wa kwĩhoka rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova ngĩciananga.
13 I have been hard pushed by you, so that I might have a fall: but the Lord was my helper.
Ndahatĩkĩtwo mũno nĩ thũ hakuhĩ ngwe, no Jehova akĩndeithia.
14 The Lord is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation.
Jehova nĩwe hinya wakwa na nĩwe ũtũmaga nyine; nake nĩatuĩkĩte ũhonokio wakwa.
15 The sound of joy and salvation is in the tents of the upright; the right hand of the Lord does works of power.
Mbugĩrĩrio ya gĩkeno na ya ũhootani ĩiyũrĩte hema-inĩ cia andũ arĩa athingu, atĩ: “Guoko kwa ũrĩo kwa Jehova nĩ gwĩkĩte maũndũ manene!
16 The right hand of the Lord is lifted up; the right hand of the Lord does works of power.
Guoko kwa ũrĩo kwa Jehova nĩ kwambararie; guoko kwa ũrĩo kwa Jehova nĩ gwĩkĩte maũndũ manene!”
17 Life and not death will be my part, and I will give out the story of the works of the Lord.
Niĩ gũkua ndigũkua, no nĩngũtũũra muoyo, ngʼanage ũrĩa Jehova ekĩte.
18 The hand of Jah has been hard on me; but he has not given me up to death.
Jehova nĩaherithĩtie mũno, no ndandekereirie ngue.
19 Let the doors of righteousness be open to me; I will go in and give praise to the Lord.
Hingũrĩrai ihingo cia ũthingu; nĩngũtoonya njookerie Jehova ngaatho.
20 This is the door of the Lord's house; the workers of righteousness will go in through it.
Gĩkĩ nĩkĩo kĩhingo kĩa Jehova kĩrĩa andũ arĩa athingu mangĩtoonyera.
21 I will give you praise, for you have given me an answer, and have become my salvation.
Nĩ ngaatho ngũgũcookeria, nĩgũkorwo nĩwanjĩtĩkire; nĩũtuĩkĩte ũhonokio wakwa.
22 The stone which the builders put on one side has become the chief stone of the building.
Ihiga rĩrĩa aaki maaregire nĩrĩo rĩtuĩkĩte ihiga inene rĩa koine;
23 This is the Lord's doing; it is a wonder in our eyes.
Jehova nĩwe wĩkĩte ũndũ ũcio, naguo nĩ wa magegania tũkĩwona.
24 This is the day which the Lord has made; we will be full of joy and delight in it.
Mũthenya ũyũ nĩ Jehova ũtũmĩte ũgĩe; nĩtũcanjamũkei, tũkĩũkenere.
25 Send salvation now, O Lord; Lord, send us your blessing.
Wee Jehova, tũhonokie; Wee Jehova, tũma tũgaacĩre.
26 A blessing be on him who comes in the name of the Lord; we give you blessing from the house of the Lord.
Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa ũgũũka na rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova. Ithuĩ nĩtwamũrathima tũrĩ thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ya Jehova.
27 The Lord is God, and he has given us light; let the holy dance be ordered with branches, even up to the horns of the altar.
Jehova nĩwe Mũrungu, na nĩatũmĩte ũtheri wake ũtwarĩre. Ambĩrĩriai gũkũngũiya, mũrĩ na mathĩgĩ moko, mũthiĩ nginya hĩa-inĩ cia kĩgongona.
28 You are my God, and I will give you praise; my God, and I will give honour to your name.
Wee nĩwe Mũrungu wakwa, nĩngũgũcookeria ngaatho; Wee nĩwe Ngai wakwa, nĩngũgũtũũgĩria.
29 O give praise to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.
Cookeriai Jehova ngaatho, nĩgũkorwo we nĩ mwega; wendo wake nĩ wa tene na tene.
