< Psalms 146 >
1 Praise the Lord! With my whole being I praise the Lord!
Goocai Jehova. Wee ngoro yakwa-rĩ, gooca Jehova.
2 I will praise the Lord while I live; I will sing praises to my God while I have breath.
Ndĩgoocaga Jehova hĩndĩ ĩrĩa yothe ngũtũũra muoyo; ndĩrĩinaga, ngoocage Ngai wakwa rĩrĩa rĩothe ngũtũũra muoyo.
3 Don't put your confidence in human leaders—they cannot save you.
Ndũkanaige mwĩhoko waku harĩ anene, kana harĩ andũ, arĩa matangĩhota kũhonokania.
4 Once they breathe no more, they go back to dust. On that very day everything they planned dies with them.
Rĩrĩa roho wao wameherera, macookaga o tĩĩri-inĩ; mũthenya o ro ũcio mĩbango yao ĩtuĩkaga ya tũhũ.
5 Happy are those who have the God of Jacob to help them—their hope is in the Lord their God—
Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa ũteithio wake uumaga kũrĩ Mũrungu wa Jakubu, ũrĩa mwĩhoko wake ũrĩ harĩ Jehova Ngai wake,
6 the one who made heaven and earth, and the sea along with everything it contains. He is trustworthy forever.
Mũũmbi wa igũrũ na thĩ, na iria, na kĩrĩa gĩothe gĩtũũraga thĩinĩ wacio: ũcio nĩwe Jehova, ũrĩa ũtũũraga arĩ mwĩhokeku nginya tene.
7 He makes sure the oppressed receive justice. He gives food to the hungry. The Lord sets the prisoners free.
Nĩarũgamagĩrĩra kĩhooto kĩa arĩa ahatĩrĩrie, na akahe arĩa ahũtu irio. Jehova nĩwe wohoraga arĩa mohetwo,
8 The Lord makes the blind see. The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down. The Lord loves those who do what is right.
Jehova nĩahingũraga maitho ma arĩa atumumu, Jehova nĩatiiraga arĩa mainamĩte, Jehova nĩendete andũ arĩa athingu.
9 The Lord takes care of strangers among us. He looks after widows and orphans. But he makes life difficult for the wicked.
Jehova nĩamenyagĩrĩra andũ a kũngĩ, na agatũũria ciana cia ngoriai o na mũtumia wa ndigwa, no njĩra cia andũ arĩa aaganu nĩacirigiicaga.
10 The Lord will reign forever. Zion, he will be your God for all generations. Praise the Lord!
Jehova egũtũũra athamakaga nginya tene, Ngai waku, wee Zayuni, athamakage njiarwa na njiarwa. Goocai Jehova.
