Psalms 81
1 For the Leader; upon the Gittith. A Psalm of Asaph. Sing aloud unto God our strength; shout unto the God of Jacob.
Thaburi ya Asafu Inĩrai Ngai, o we hinya witũ, nĩ ũndũ wa gũkena; anĩrĩrai mũinĩre Ngai wa Jakubu!
2 Take up the melody, and sound the timbrel, the sweet harp with the psaltery.
Ambĩrĩriai kũina, hũũrai kĩhembe, na mũhũũre kĩnanda kĩa mũgeeto kĩrĩa kĩgambi wega, o na gĩa kĩnũbi.
3 Blow the horn at the new moon, at the full moon for our feast-day.
Huhai coro hĩndĩ ya Karũgamo ka Mweri, na ningĩ rĩrĩa mweri waiganana, mũthenya ũrĩa wa Gĩathĩ giitũ;
4 For it is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob.
ũyũ nĩ watho wa kĩrĩra gĩa kũrũmĩrĩrwo kũrĩ Isiraeli, o guo watho wa Ngai wa Jakubu.
5 He appointed it in Joseph for a testimony, when He went forth against the land of Egypt. The speech of one that I knew not did I hear:
We nĩaũhaandire ũtuĩke kĩrĩra harĩ Jusufu hĩndĩ ĩrĩa aathiire gũtharĩkĩra bũrũri wa Misiri, kũrĩa twaiguire mwario tũtaamenyire.
6 'I removed his shoulder from the burden; His hands were freed from the basket.
Ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩndeheririe mũrigo kuuma ciande-inĩ ciao; moko mao nĩndameheririe kuuma thĩinĩ wa gĩkabũ.
7 Thou didst call in trouble, and I rescued thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder; I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. (Selah)
Wangaĩire ũrĩ na mĩnyamaro na niĩ ngĩkũhatũra, ngĩgwĩtĩka ndĩ thĩinĩ wa mũrurumo wa ngwa; ndakũgeririe ũrĩ kũu maaĩ-inĩ ma Meriba.
8 Hear, O My people, and I will admonish thee: O Israel, if thou wouldest hearken unto Me!
“Inyuĩ andũ akwa, iguai ngĩmũkaania, naarĩ korwo no mũũthikĩrĩrie, inyuĩ Isiraeli!
9 There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any foreign god.
Mũtikanagĩe na ngai ngʼeni gatagatĩ-inĩ kanyu; mũtikanainamĩrĩre ngai ya kũngĩ.
10 I am the LORD thy God, who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt; open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
Nĩ niĩ Jehova Ngai waku, ũrĩa wakũrutire bũrũri wa Misiri. Athamia kanua gaku na nĩngũkũhe gĩa kũrĩa.
11 But My people hearkened not to My voice; and Israel would none of Me.
“No andũ akwa matiigana gũũthikĩrĩria; Isiraeli ndaigana kũnjathĩkĩra.
12 So I let them go after the stubbornness of their heart, that they might walk in their own counsels.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩmarekereria marũmĩrĩre ũremi wa ngoro ciao, na marũmagĩrĩre mwĩĩro wao ene.
13 Oh that My people would hearken unto Me, that Israel would walk in My ways!
“Korwo andũ akwa no maathikĩrĩrie, korwo Isiraeli no marũmĩrĩre njĩra ciakwa,
14 I would soon subdue their enemies, and turn My hand against their adversaries.
ndamatooreria thũ ciao o na ihenya, na njũkĩrĩre andũ arĩa marĩ muku nao na ũndũ wa guoko gwakwa!
15 The haters of the LORD should dwindle away before Him; and their punishment should endure for ever.
Andũ arĩa mathũire Jehova mangĩĩthuna marĩ mbere yake, na iherithia rĩao rĩtũũre nginya tene.
16 They should also be fed with the fat of wheat; and with honey out of the rock would I satisfy thee.'
No inyuĩ ingĩmũhe ngano ĩrĩa njega mũno mũrĩĩage; ingĩmũhũũnagia na ũũkĩ wa kuuma rwaro-inĩ rwa ihiga.”
