Psalms 78
1 A Psalme to give instruction committed to Asaph. Heare my doctrine, O my people: incline your eares vnto the wordes of my mouth.
Thaburi ya Asafu Inyuĩ andũ akwa, iguai ũrutani wakwa; thikĩrĩriai ciugo cia kanua gakwa.
2 I will open my mouth in a parable: I will declare high sentences of olde.
Ngũtumũra kanua gakwa njarie na ngerekano, ngũgweta maũndũ mahithe, maũndũ ma kuuma o tene:
3 Which we haue heard and knowen, and our fathers haue tolde vs.
maũndũ marĩa twanaigua na tũkamenya, o marĩa maithe maitũ maanatwĩra.
4 Wee will not hide them from their children but to the generation to come we wil shewe the praises of the Lord his power also, and his wonderful woorkes that he hath done:
Tũtingĩhitha ciana ciao maũndũ macio; nĩtũrĩĩraga rũciaro rũrĩa rũgooka ũhoro wa ciĩko cia Jehova cia kũmũgoocithia, na ũhoti wake, na magegania marĩa aaneka.
5 How he established a testimonie in Iaakob, and ordeined a Law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they shoulde teache their children:
Aaheire Jakubu mawatho, na akĩhaanda watho thĩinĩ wa Isiraeli, ũrĩa aathire maithe maitũ atĩ maũrutage ciana ciao,
6 That the posteritie might knowe it, and the children, which should be borne, should stand vp, and declare it to their children:
nĩguo rũciaro rũrĩa rũgooka thuutha rũkaamenya watho ũcio, o hamwe na ciana iria itaciarĩtwo, nĩguo nacio ikeera ciana ciacio.
7 That they might set their hope on God, and not forget the workes of God but keepe his commandements:
Hĩndĩ ĩyo ciĩhoke Ngai na ciage kũriganĩrwo nĩ ciĩko ciake, no kũrũmia irũmagie maathani make.
8 And not to bee as their fathers, a disobedient and rebellious generation: a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirite was not faithfull vnto God.
Nacio itikahaane ta maithe macio ma tene, arĩa maarĩ a rũciaro rũremi na rũngʼathia, rũrĩa ngoro ciaruo itaathĩkagĩra Mũrungu, o rũu maroho maaruo mataamwĩhokire.
9 The children of Ephraim being armed and shooting with the bowe, turned backe in the day of battell.
Andũ a Efiraimu, o na maarĩ na mota ma kũrũa, nĩmahũndũkire mũthenya ũrĩa wa mbaara;
10 They kept not the couenant of God, but refused to walke in his Lawe,
matiarũmirie kĩrĩkanĩro kĩao na Ngai, na nĩmaregire kũrũmĩrĩra watho wake.
11 And forgate his Actes, and his wonderfull woorkes that he had shewed them.
Nĩmariganĩirwo nĩ maũndũ marĩa ekĩte, na makĩriganĩrwo nĩ magegania marĩa aamonetie.
12 Hee did marueilous thinges in the sight of their fathers in the lande of Egypt: euen in the fielde of Zoan.
Nĩaringire ciama maithe mao makĩĩonagĩra marĩ kũu bũrũri wa Misiri, kũu werũ-inĩ wa Zoani.
13 He deuided the Sea, and led them through: he made also the waters to stand as an heape.
Aagayanirie iria, akĩmaringia; aatũmire maaĩ marũgame ta rũthingo.
14 In the day time also hee led them with a cloude, and all the night with a light of fire.
Mũthenya aamatongoragia na itu, naguo ũtukũ wothe akamatongoria na ũtheri wa mwaki.
15 He claue the rockes in the wildernes, and gaue them drinke as of the great depths.
Nĩatũranirie mahiga kũu werũ-inĩ, na akĩmahe maaĩ maingĩ o ta ma iria;
16 He brought floods also out of the stonie rocke; so that hee made the waters to descend like the riuers.
nĩatũmire tũrũũĩ tuume rwaro-inĩ rwa ihiga, na agĩtũma maaĩ matherere ta njũũĩ.
17 Yet they sinned stil against him, and prouoked the Highest in the wildernesse,
No-o maathiire o na mbere kwĩhĩria Ngai, magĩkĩremera Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno marĩ kũu werũ-inĩ.
18 And tempted God in their heartes in requiring meate for their lust.
Nao makĩgeria Mũrungu makĩendaga, na ũndũ wa gwĩtia irio iria meeriragĩria kũrĩa.
19 They spake against God also, saying, Can God prepare a table in the wildernesse?
Magĩũkĩrĩra Ngai na mĩario, makĩũrania atĩrĩ, “Mũrungu no ahote kwara metha werũ-inĩ?
20 Behold, he smote the rocke, that the water gushed out, and the streames ouerflowed: can hee giue bread also? or prepare flesh for his people?
Rĩrĩa aagũthire ihiga, maaĩ nĩmatothokire boo, natuo tũrũũĩ tũgĩtherera tũiyũrĩte maaĩ maingĩ. No rĩrĩ, no ahote gũtũhe o na irio? No ahe andũ ake nyama?”
21 Therefore the Lord heard and was angrie, and the fire was kindled in Iaakob, and also wrath came vpon Israel,
Rĩrĩa Jehova aiguire ũguo, akĩrakara; agĩtharĩkĩra Jakubu na mwaki wake, namo mangʼũrĩ make magĩũkĩrĩra Isiraeli,
22 Because they beleeued not in God, and trusted not in his helpe.
nĩgũkorwo matiigana gwĩtĩkia Ngai, kana kwĩhoka ũhonokania wake.
23 Yet he had comanded the clouds aboue, and had opened the doores of heauen,
No rĩrĩ, we nĩathire matu ma igũrũ na akĩhingũra mĩrango ya igũrũ;
24 And had rained downe MAN vpon them for to eate, and had giuen them of the wheate of heauen.
oirĩirie andũ mana ta mbura marĩe, na akĩmahe ngano ya kũu igũrũ.
25 Man did eate the bread of Angels: hee sent them meate ynough.
Andũ makĩrĩa irio cia araika; akĩmahe irio iria ciothe mangĩahotire kũrĩa.
26 He caused the Eastwinde to passe in the heauen, and through his power he brought in the Southwinde.
O na ningĩ akĩerekeria rũhuho rwa mwena wa irathĩro kuuma igũrũ, na akĩrehithia rũhuho rwa mwena wa gũthini na ũndũ wa hinya wake.
27 Hee rained flesh also vpon them as dust, and feathered foule as the sand of the sea.
Akĩmaharũrũkĩria nyama nyingĩ ta rũkũngũ, nyoni cia rĩera-inĩ ciaingĩhĩte ta mũthanga wa iria-inĩ.
28 And hee made it fall in the middes of their campe euen round about their habitations.
Agĩtũma igwe thĩinĩ wa kambĩ yao, igĩthiũrũrũkĩria hema ciao.
29 So they did eate and were well filled: for he gaue them their desire.
Maarĩire o nginya makĩhũũna, nĩgũkorwo aamaheire kĩrĩa merirĩirie kũrĩa.
30 They were not turned from their lust, but the meate was yet in their mouthes,
No matanarĩkia kũrĩa irio icio meriragĩria, o irĩ tũnua-inĩ twao-rĩ,
31 When the wrath of God came euen vpon them, and slew the strongest of them, and smote downe the chosen men in Israel.
marakara ma Ngai makĩmokĩrĩra; akĩũraga arĩa maarĩ na hinya mũno gatagatĩ kao, akĩniina andũ ethĩ a Isiraeli.
32 For all this, they sinned stil, and beleeued not his wonderous woorkes.
O na amekĩte ũguo wothe-rĩ, mathiire o na mbere kwĩhia; o na ekĩte magegania make, matiamwĩtĩkirie.
33 Therefore their daies did hee consume in vanitie, and their yeeres hastily.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩtũma matukũ mao mathire o ũguo tũhũ, na mĩaka yao ĩgĩthira nĩ ihooru rĩa kũmaka.
34 And when hee slewe them, they sought him and they returned, and sought God earely.
Rĩrĩa rĩothe Mũrungu ooraga amwe ao nĩmamũmaathaga; mamũrongoragia na makamũcookerera na kĩyo.
35 And they remembred that God was their strength, and the most high God their redeemer.
Nao makaririkana atĩ Ngai nĩwe warĩ Rwaro rwao rwa Ihiga, na atĩ Mũrungu Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno nĩwe warĩ Mũkũũri wao.
36 But they flattered him with their mouth, and dissembled with him with their tongue.
No-o makeyendithĩrĩria harĩ we na tũnua twao, makamũheenagia na nĩmĩ ciao;
37 For their heart was not vpright with him: neither were they faithfull in his couenant.
ngoro ciao itiarĩ njĩhokeku kũrĩ we, na matiarĩ eehokeku harĩ kĩrĩkanĩro gĩake.
38 Yet he being merciful forgaue their iniquitie, and destroied them not, but oft times called backe his anger, and did not stirre vp all his wrath.
Nowe no aaiyũrĩtwo nĩ tha; akĩmarekera waganu wao, na ndaigana kũmaniina. Kaingĩ na kaingĩ nĩagiragĩrĩria marakara make, na ndaigana kwarahũra mangʼũrĩ make mothe.
39 For he remembered that they were flesh: yea, a winde that passeth and commeth not againe.
Nĩaaririkanire atĩ maarĩ o andũ tu, karũhuho karĩa kahĩtũkaga na gaticooke rĩngĩ.
40 How oft did they prouoke him in the wildernes? and grieue him in the desert?
Nĩ maita maingĩ atĩa maamũremagĩra marĩ kũu werũ-inĩ, na makamũiguithia kĩeha marĩ kũu rũngʼũrĩ-inĩ.
41 Yea, they returned, and tempted God, and limited the Holie one of Israel.
Mahinda maingĩ nĩmageririe Mũrungu; maathirĩkirie Ũrĩa-Mũtheru-wa-Isiraeli.
42 They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he deliuered them from the enemie,
Matiaririkanire ũhoti wake: mũthenya ũrĩa aamakũũrire kuuma kũrĩ arĩa maamahinyagĩrĩria,
43 Nor him that set his signes in Egypt, and his wonders in the fielde of Zoan,
kana mũthenya ũrĩa onanirie ciama ciake kũu bũrũri wa Misiri, kana magegania make marĩa onanirie kũu werũ-inĩ wa Zoani.
44 And turned their riuers into blood, and their floods, that they could not drinke.
Nĩagarũrire njũũĩ cia bũrũri wa Misiri igĩtuĩka thakame; matingĩahotire kũnyua maaĩ ma tũrũũĩ twao.
45 Hee sent a swarme of flies among them, which deuoured them, and frogs, which destroyed them.
Akĩmatũmĩra mĩrumbĩ mĩingĩ ya ngi ikĩmarĩa, o na ciũra iria ciamaanangire.
46 He gaue also their fruites vnto the caterpiller, and their labour vnto the grassehopper.
Irio cia mĩgũnda yao aaciheire itono, na maciaro mao akĩmarekereria ngigĩ.
47 He destroied their vines with haile, and their wilde figge trees with the hailestone.
Aanangire mĩthabibũ yao na mbura ya mbembe, na mĩkũyũ yao akĩmĩcina na mbaa.
48 He gaue their cattell also to the haile, and their flockes to the thunderboltes.
Ngʼombe ciao aaciũragire na mbura ya mbembe, na mahiũ mao akĩmahũũra na ngwa.
49 Hee cast vpon them the fiercenesse of his anger, indignation and wrath, and vexation by the sending out of euill Angels.
Aamaitĩrĩirie marakara make mahiũ, na mangʼũrĩ, na marũrũ, na muku: akĩmarekereria mbũtũ ya araika arĩa maniinanaga.
50 He made a way to his anger: he spared not their soule from death, but gaue their life to the pestilence,
Nĩaatemeire marakara make njĩra; ndamahonokirie kũrĩ gĩkuũ, no nĩamarekereirie kũrĩ mũthiro.
51 And smote al the firstborne in Egypt, euen the beginning of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham.
Akĩũraga marigithathi mothe ma bũrũri wa Misiri, arĩ mo maciaro ma mbere ma mũndũ thĩinĩ wa hema cia Hamu.
52 But hee made his people to goe out like sheepe, and led them in the wildernes like a flocke.
No akĩruta andũ ake kuo ta rũũru; akĩmatongoria o ta ũrĩa mũrĩithi atongoragia ngʼondu magĩtuĩkanĩria kũu werũ-inĩ.
53 Yea, he caried them out safely, and they feared not, and the Sea couered their enemies.
Aamatongoririe amamenyereire, nĩ ũndũ ũcio matietigĩrire; no thũ ciao ikĩhubĩkanio nĩ iria.
54 And he brought them vnto the borders of his Sanctuarie: euen to this Mountaine, which his right hand purchased.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩmakinyia mũhaka-inĩ wa bũrũri wake ũcio mũtheru, akĩmakinyia bũrũri wa irĩma ũrĩa guoko gwake kwa ũrĩo kwegwatĩire.
55 He cast out the heathe also before them, and caused them to fall to the lot of his inheritance, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tabernacles.
Ningĩ akĩrutũrũra ndũrĩrĩ ciehere mbere yao, na akĩmagaĩra bũrũri ũcio wa ndũrĩrĩ ũtuĩke igai rĩao; akĩhe mĩhĩrĩga ya Isiraeli mĩciĩ yao.
56 Yet they tempted, and prouoked the most high God, and kept not his testimonies,
No nĩmageririe Ngai na makĩremera Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno; matiathikĩrĩirie mawatho make.
57 But turned backe and delt falsely like their fathers: they turned like a deceitfull bowe.
Nĩmagire wĩhokeku na makĩaga wĩtĩkio o ta maithe mao, makĩaga kwĩhokeka o ta ũta mũgathũku ũrĩa ũtangĩĩhokwo.
58 And they prouoked him to anger with their high places, and mooued him to wrath with their grauen images.
Nĩmamũrakaririe nĩ ũndũ wa gũkorwo na kũndũ kwao gũtũũgĩru gwa kũhooyagĩra; makĩarahũra ũiru wake nĩ ũndũ wa mĩhianano yao.
59 God heard this and was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel,
Rĩrĩa Ngai aamaiguire, nĩarakarire mũno; nake agĩtiganĩria Isiraeli o biũ.
60 So that hee forsooke the habitation of Shilo, euen the Tabernacle where hee dwelt among men,
Agĩthaama Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo ĩrĩa yarĩ Shilo, hema ĩrĩa aahaandĩte atũũranagie na andũ.
61 And deliuered his power into captiuitie, and his beautie into the enemies hand.
Akĩrekereria ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro rĩrĩa rĩa hinya wake rĩthaamio, riiri ũcio wake akĩũneana moko-inĩ ma thũ.
62 And hee gaue vp his people to the sworde, and was angrie with his inheritance.
Andũ ake nao akĩmarekereria rũhiũ rwa njora; nĩarakarĩtio mũno nĩ igai rĩake.
63 The fire deuoured their chosen men, and their maides were not praised.
Mwaki ũgĩcina aanake ao, nao airĩtu ao makĩaga kũinagĩrwo nyĩmbo cia ũhiki;
64 Their Priestes fell by the sworde, and their widowes lamented not.
athĩnjĩri-Ngai ao makĩũragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora, na atumia ao a ndigwa makĩaga kũmacakaĩra.
65 But the Lord awaked as one out of sleepe, and as a strong man that after his wine crieth out,
Ningĩ Mwathani akĩarahũka ta mũndũ woima toro, ta njamba ya ita ĩgĩũkĩra thuutha wa kũrĩĩo nĩ ndibei.
66 And smote his enemies in the hinder parts, and put them to a perpetuall shame.
Aahũũrire thũ ciake agĩcihũndũra; aaciconorithirie nginya tene.
67 Yet he refused the tabernacle of Ioseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim:
Ningĩ akĩrega hema cia Jusufu, na ndathuurire mũhĩrĩga wa Efiraimu;
68 But chose the tribe of Iudah, and mount Zion which he loued.
no rĩrĩ, nĩathuurire mũhĩrĩga wa Juda, na Kĩrĩma gĩa Zayuni kĩrĩa endete.
69 And he built his Sanctuarie as an high palace, like the earth, which he stablished for euer.
Nĩaakire handũ harĩa hake haamũre hakĩhaana ta irĩma iria ndaaya, hakĩhaana ta thĩ ĩrĩa aahaandire ĩtũũre ĩrũmĩte nginya tene.
70 He chose Dauid also his seruant, and tooke him from the shepefolds.
Aathuurire Daudi ndungata yake na akĩmũruta ciugũ-inĩ cia ngʼondu;
71 Euen from behinde the ewes with yong brought he him to feede his people in Iaakob, and his inheritance in Israel.
akĩmũtigithia kũrĩithia ngʼondu, akĩmutua mũrĩithi wa andũ ake, nĩo mbarĩ ya Jakubu, arĩithagie Isiraeli igai rĩake.
72 So he fed them according to the simplicitie of his heart, and guided them by the discretion of his hands.
Nake Daudi akĩmarĩithia arĩ na wagĩrĩru wa ngoro; aamatongoragia na ũũgĩ wa moko make.
