< Psalms 48 >

1 A psalm of a canticle, for the sons of Core, on the second day of the week. Great is the Lord, and exceedingly to be praised in the city of our God, in his holy mountain.
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 With the joy of the whole earth is mount Sion founded, 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 In her houses shall God be known, when he shall protect her.
Ngai arĩ thĩinĩ wa ciikaro iria ngitĩre cia mũthamaki; nake nĩeyonanĩtie atĩ nĩwe kĩirigo gĩacio kĩa hinya.
4 For behold the kings of the earth assembled themselves: they gathered together.
Rĩrĩa athamaki maanyiitanire hamwe na magĩthiĩ magatharĩkĩre itũũra rĩu,
5 So they saw, and they wondered, they were troubled, they were moved:
maarĩonire, magĩtuĩka nda; makĩũra nĩ kĩmako kĩnene.
6 Trembling took hold of them. There were pains as of a woman in labour.
O hau-hau makĩnyiitwo nĩ kũinaina, makĩgĩa na ruo ta rwa mũndũ-wa-nja akĩrũmwo.
7 With a vehement wind thou shalt break in pieces the ships of Tharsis.
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 the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God: God hath founded it for ever.
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 received thy mercy, O God, 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 also is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of justice.
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 Sion rejoice, and the daughters of Juda be glad; because of thy judgments, O Lord.
Kĩrĩma gĩa Zayuni nĩgĩkenaga, namo matũũra ma Juda magacanjamũka nĩ ũndũ wa matuĩro maku ma ciira.
12 Surround Sion, and encompass her: tell ye in her towers.
Ceeraceerai Zayuni, mũrĩthiũrũrũke, mũtare mĩthiringo yarĩo ĩrĩa mĩraihu na igũrũ,
13 Set your hearts on her strength; and distribute her houses, that ye may relate it in another generation.
mũrore ũrĩa kũirigĩtwo na hinya, na mũrore ciikaro iria ngitĩre cia mũthamaki, nĩgeetha mũkeeraga rũciaro rũrĩa rũgooka ũhoro wacio.
14 For this is God, our God unto eternity, and for ever and ever: he shall rule us for evermore.
Nĩgũkorwo Ngai ũyũ nĩwe Ngai witũ nginya tene na tene; egũtũũra atũtongoragia nginya hĩndĩ ĩtagathira.
