< Psalms 115 >

1 Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory, because of your mercy and your truth;
Ti ithuĩ, Wee Jehova, ti ithuĩ twagĩrĩire kũgoocwo, no goocithia rĩĩtwa rĩaku, tondũ wa wendo na wĩhokeku waku.
2 lest at any time the nations should say, Where is their God?
Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmaga ndũrĩrĩ ciũrie atĩrĩ, “Ngai wao akĩrĩ ha?”
3 But our God has done in heaven and on earth, whatever he has pleased.
Ngai witũ arĩ o igũrũ; we ekaga o ũrĩa endaga.
4 The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the works of men's hands.
No mĩhianano yao nĩ betha na thahabu, wĩra ũthondeketwo na moko ma andũ.
5 They have a mouth, but they can’t speak; they have eyes, but they can’t see:
Nĩĩrĩ tũnua, no ndĩaragia, nĩĩrĩ maitho, no ndĩonaga;
6 they have ears, but they can’t hear; they have noses, but they can’t smell;
nĩĩrĩ matũ, no ndĩiguaga, nĩĩrĩ na maniũrũ, no ndĩiguaga mũnungo;
7 they have hands, but they can’t handle; they have feet, but they can’t walk: they can’t speak through their throat.
nĩĩrĩ moko, no ndĩngĩhambata kĩndũ, nĩĩrĩ magũrũ, no ndĩngĩĩtwara; o na nĩĩrĩ mĩmero, no ndĩngĩnyuria.
8 Let those that make them become like to them, and all who trust in them.
Andũ arĩa mamĩthondekaga makaahaana o tayo, na noguo arĩa othe mamĩĩhokaga makaahaana.
9 The house of Israel trusts in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.
Wee nyũmba ya Isiraeli, wĩhokage Jehova: we nĩwe ũteithio wao o na ngo yao.
10 The house of Aaron trusts in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.
Wee nyũmba ya Harũni, wĩhokage Jehova: we nĩwe ũteithio wao o na ngo yao.
11 They that fear the Lord trust in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.
Inyuĩ arĩa mũmwĩtigĩrĩte, mwĩhokagei Jehova: we nĩwe ũteithio wao na ngo yao.
12 The Lord has remembered us, and blessed us: he has blessed the house of Israel, he has blessed the house of Aaron.
Jehova nĩatũririkanĩte na nĩegũtũrathima: Nĩekũrathima nyũmba ya Isiraeli, nĩekũrathima nyũmba ya Harũni,
13 He has blessed them that fear the Lord, both small and great.
nĩekũrathima arĩa metigĩrĩte Jehova, anini na anene o ũndũ ũmwe.
14 The Lord add [blessings] to you and to your children.
Jehova arotũma mũingĩhe, inyuĩ na ciana cianyu.
15 Blessed are you of the Lord, who made the heaven and the earth.
Mũrorathimwo nĩ Jehova, Mũmbi wa igũrũ na thĩ.
16 The heaven of heavens [belongs] to the Lord: but he has given the earth to the sons of men.
Kũu igũrũ mũno nĩ kwa Jehova, no thĩ nĩamĩheanĩte kũrĩ andũ.
17 The dead shall not praise you, O Lord, nor any that go down to Hades.
Andũ arĩa akuũ matigoocaga Jehova, acio maikũrũkaga kũu ũkiri-inĩ;
18 But we, the living, will bless the Lord, from henceforth and for ever.
nĩ ithuĩ tũrĩkumagia Jehova, kuuma rĩu nginya tene na tene. Goocai Jehova.
