< Psalms 135 >
1 Hallelujah. Praise ye the name of the Lord; praise him, O ye servants of the Lord;
Goocai Jehova. Goocai rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova; inyuĩ ndungata cia Jehova-rĩ, mũgoocei,
2 Ye that stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God.
inyuĩ mũtungataga thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ya Jehova, o inyuĩ mũrũgamaga nja-inĩ cia nyũmba ya Ngai witũ.
3 Hallelujah; for the Lord is good: sing praises unto his name; for it is lovely.
Goocai Jehova, nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩ mwega; inai mũgooce rĩĩtwa rĩake, nĩgũkorwo nĩ rĩega.
4 For Jacob hath the Lord chosen unto himself, Israel, as his peculiar treasure.
Nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩethuurĩire Jakubu atuĩke wake, agathuura Isiraeli atuĩke igai rĩake kĩũmbe.
5 For I well know that the Lord is great, and that our Lord is above all gods.
Niĩ nĩnjũũĩ atĩ Jehova nĩ mũnene, atĩ Mwathani witũ nĩ mũnene gũkĩra ngai ciothe.
6 Whatsoever the Lord willeth, hath he done in the heavens, and on the earth, in the seas, and in all the deeps.
Jehova ekaga ũrĩa wothe ekwenda, kũu igũrũ na gũkũ thĩ, o na kũu iria-inĩ o na kũrĩa guothe kũriku mũno.
7 He causeth clouds to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings with the rain; he bringeth forth the wind out of his treasuries.
Nĩwe ũtũmaga matu mambate kuuma ituri-inĩ cia thĩ; nĩwe ũtũmaga kũgĩe heni irehanĩte na mbura, na akarehe rũhuho kuuma mĩthithũ-inĩ yake.
8 [He it is] who smote the first-born of Egypt, both of man and of cattle;
Nĩwe waringire marigithathi ma Misiri, marigithathi ma andũ na ma nyamũ.
9 Who sent signs and wonderful tokens into the midst of thee, O Egypt, against Pharaoh, and against all his servants;
Wee Misiri, nĩwe watũmire thĩinĩ waku kũringwo ciama na morirũ, agĩũkĩrĩra Firaũni na ndungata ciake ciothe.
10 Who smote many nations, and slew mighty kings;
Nĩwe waringire ndũrĩrĩ nyingĩ na akĩũraga athamaki maarĩ hinya:
11 Sichon the king of the Emorites, and 'Og the king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan;
nĩo Sihoni mũthamaki wa Aamori, na Ogu mũthamaki wa Bashani, o na athamaki othe a Kaanani;
12 And gave their land as an inheritance, an inheritance unto Israel his people.
akĩheana bũrũri wao ũtuĩke igai, ũtuĩke igai kũrĩ andũ ake a Isiraeli.
13 O Lord, thy name [endureth] for ever: O Lord, thy memorial is throughout all generations.
Rĩĩtwa rĩaku, Wee Jehova, rĩtũũraga nginya tene, ngumo yaku, Wee Jehova, ĩgakinyĩra njiarwa na njiarwa.
14 For the Lord will espouse the cause of his people, and concerning his servants will he bethink himself.
Nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩagaciirĩrĩra andũ ake, na aiguĩre ndungata ciake tha.
15 The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of the hands of men.
Mĩhianano ya ndũrĩrĩ ĩthondeketwo na betha na thahabu, o wĩra wa moko ma andũ.
16 Mouths they have, but they speak not; eyes they have, but they see not;
Nĩĩrĩ tũnua, no ndĩaragia, nĩĩrĩ maitho, no ndĩonaga;
17 Ears they have, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouth.
nĩĩrĩ matũ, no ndĩiguaga, o na ndĩrĩ mĩhũmũ tũnua-inĩ twayo.
18 Like them are those that make them, every one that trusteth in them.
Andũ arĩa mamĩthondekaga makaahaana o tayo, na noguo arĩa othe mamĩĩhokaga makaahaana.
19 O house of Israel, bless ye the Lord; O house of Aaron, bless ye the Lord.
Inyuĩ nyũmba ya Isiraeli, goocai Jehova; Inyuĩ nyũmba ya Harũni, goocai Jehova;
20 O house of Levi, bless ye the Lord; ye that fear the Lord, bless the Lord.
Inyuĩ nyũmba ya Lawi, goocai Jehova; inyuĩ arĩa mũmwĩtigĩrĩte, goocai Jehova.
21 Blessed be the Lord out of Zion, even he that resideth at Jerusalem. Hallelujah.
Jehova arogoocwo kuuma Zayuni, o we ũtũũraga kũu Jerusalemu. Goocai Jehova.
