< Psalms 115 >
1 Not unto us, O Yhwh, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth’s sake.
Ti ithuĩ, Wee Jehova, ti ithuĩ twagĩrĩire kũgoocwo, no goocithia rĩĩtwa rĩaku, tondũ wa wendo na wĩhokeku waku.
2 Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God?
Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmaga ndũrĩrĩ ciũrie atĩrĩ, “Ngai wao akĩrĩ ha?”
3 But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.
Ngai witũ arĩ o igũrũ; we ekaga o ũrĩa endaga.
4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.
No mĩhianano yao nĩ betha na thahabu, wĩra ũthondeketwo na moko ma andũ.
5 They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:
Nĩĩrĩ tũnua, no ndĩaragia, nĩĩrĩ maitho, no ndĩonaga;
6 They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:
nĩĩrĩ matũ, no ndĩiguaga, nĩĩrĩ na maniũrũ, no ndĩiguaga mũnungo;
7 They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.
nĩĩrĩ moko, no ndĩngĩhambata kĩndũ, nĩĩrĩ magũrũ, no ndĩngĩĩtwara; o na nĩĩrĩ mĩmero, no ndĩngĩnyuria.
8 They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them.
Andũ arĩa mamĩthondekaga makaahaana o tayo, na noguo arĩa othe mamĩĩhokaga makaahaana.
9 O Israel, trust thou in Yhwh: he is their help and their shield.
Wee nyũmba ya Isiraeli, wĩhokage Jehova: we nĩwe ũteithio wao o na ngo yao.
10 O house of Aaron, trust in Yhwh: he is their help and their shield.
Wee nyũmba ya Harũni, wĩhokage Jehova: we nĩwe ũteithio wao o na ngo yao.
11 Ye that fear Yhwh, trust in Yhwh: he is their help and their shield.
Inyuĩ arĩa mũmwĩtigĩrĩte, mwĩhokagei Jehova: we nĩwe ũteithio wao na ngo yao.
12 Yhwh hath been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron.
Jehova nĩatũririkanĩte na nĩegũtũrathima: Nĩekũrathima nyũmba ya Isiraeli, nĩekũrathima nyũmba ya Harũni,
13 He will bless them that fear Yhwh, both small and great.
nĩekũrathima arĩa metigĩrĩte Jehova, anini na anene o ũndũ ũmwe.
14 Yhwh shall increase you more and more, you and your children.
Jehova arotũma mũingĩhe, inyuĩ na ciana cianyu.
15 Ye are blessed of Yhwh which made heaven and earth.
Mũrorathimwo nĩ Jehova, Mũmbi wa igũrũ na thĩ.
16 The heaven, even the heavens, are Yhwh's: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.
Kũu igũrũ mũno nĩ kwa Jehova, no thĩ nĩamĩheanĩte kũrĩ andũ.
17 The dead praise not Yah, neither any that go down into silence.
Andũ arĩa akuũ matigoocaga Jehova, acio maikũrũkaga kũu ũkiri-inĩ;
18 But we will bless Yah from this time forth and for evermore. Hallelu jah.
nĩ ithuĩ tũrĩkumagia Jehova, kuuma rĩu nginya tene na tene. Goocai Jehova.
