< Psalms 48 >
1 A Song; a Psalm. Of the sons of Korah. Great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the hill of his holiness.
Thaburi ya Ariũ a Kora Jehova nĩ mũnene, na nĩ wa kũgoocwo mũno, arĩ kũu thĩinĩ wa itũũra inene rĩa Ngai witũ, o kĩrĩma-inĩ gĩake kĩrĩa kĩamũre.
2 Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, [on] the sides of the north, the city of the great King.
Kĩrĩma kĩu kĩa Ngai nĩ gĩthaka na gĩkaraiha na igũrũ, na nĩkĩo gĩkeno gĩa thĩ yothe. O ta ũrĩa Zafoni gũtũgĩrĩte na igũrũ mũno, no taguo Kĩrĩma gĩa Zayuni kĩhaana, itũũra rĩu inene rĩa Mũthamaki ũrĩa Mũnene.
3 God is known in her palaces as a high fortress.
Ngai arĩ thĩinĩ wa ciikaro iria ngitĩre cia mũthamaki; nake nĩeyonanĩtie atĩ nĩwe kĩirigo gĩacio kĩa hinya.
4 For behold, the kings assembled themselves, they passed by together;
Rĩrĩa athamaki maanyiitanire hamwe na magĩthiĩ magatharĩkĩre itũũra rĩu,
5 They saw, — so they marvelled; they were troubled, they fled in consternation:
maarĩonire, magĩtuĩka nda; makĩũra nĩ kĩmako kĩnene.
6 Trembling took hold upon them there; anguish, as of a woman in travail.
O hau-hau makĩnyiitwo nĩ kũinaina, makĩgĩa na ruo ta rwa mũndũ-wa-nja akĩrũmwo.
7 With an east wind thou hast broken the ships of Tarshish.
Wamanangire o ta ũrĩa marikabu cia Tarishishi cianangagwo nĩ rũhuho ruumĩte mwena wa irathĩro.
8 As we have heard, so have we seen, in the city of Jehovah of hosts, in the city of our God: God doth establish it for ever. (Selah)
O ta ũrĩa tũiguĩte, ũguo noguo tuonete thĩinĩ wa itũũra inene rĩa Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, itũũra rĩu inene rĩa Ngai witũ: Ngai egũtũũra arĩgitagĩra nginya tene.
9 We have thought, O God, of thy loving-kindness, in the midst of thy temple.
Tũrĩ thĩinĩ wa hekarũ yaku, Wee Ngai, twĩcũũranagia ũhoro wa wendo waku ũrĩa ũtathiraga.
10 According to thy name, O God, so is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.
O ta ũrĩa rĩĩtwa rĩaku rĩtariĩ, Wee Ngai, ũguo noguo ngumo yaku ĩigana o nginya ituri-inĩ cia thĩ; guoko gwaku kwa ũrĩo kũiyũrĩtwo nĩ ũthingu.
11 Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of thy judgments.
Kĩrĩma gĩa Zayuni nĩgĩkenaga, namo matũũra ma Juda magacanjamũka nĩ ũndũ wa matuĩro maku ma ciira.
12 Walk about Zion, and go round about her: count the towers thereof;
Ceeraceerai Zayuni, mũrĩthiũrũrũke, mũtare mĩthiringo yarĩo ĩrĩa mĩraihu na igũrũ,
13 Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces: that ye may tell it to the generation following.
mũrore ũrĩa kũirigĩtwo na hinya, na mũrore ciikaro iria ngitĩre cia mũthamaki, nĩgeetha mũkeeraga rũciaro rũrĩa rũgooka ũhoro wacio.
14 For this God is our God for ever and ever; he will be our guide until death.
Nĩgũkorwo Ngai ũyũ nĩwe Ngai witũ nginya tene na tene; egũtũũra atũtongoragia nginya hĩndĩ ĩtagathira.
