< Psalms 107 >
1 “Give thanks to YHWH, For [He is] good, for His kindness [is] for all time”:
Cookeriai Jehova ngaatho, nĩgũkorwo nĩ mwega; wendo wake ũtũũraga tene na tene.
2 Let the redeemed of YHWH say [so], Whom He redeemed from the hand of an adversary.
Andũ arĩa makũũrĩtwo nĩ Jehova nĩmakiuge ũguo: o acio akũũrĩte kuuma guoko-inĩ gwa thũ,
3 And has gathered them from the lands, From east and from west, From north, and from the sea.
o acio aacookanĩrĩirie amarutĩte mabũrũri-inĩ, kuuma mwena wa irathĩro na wa ithũĩro, na kuuma mwena wa gathigathini na wa gũthini.
4 They wandered in a wilderness, in a desert by the way, They have not found a city of habitation.
Amwe morũũrire werũ-inĩ ũtarĩ kĩndũ, maagĩte njĩra ya kũmakinyia itũũra inene kũrĩa mangĩatũũrire.
5 Hungry—indeed—thirsty, Their soul becomes feeble in them,
Maarĩ ahũtu na makanyoota, na makaaga mwĩhoko thĩinĩ wao.
6 And they cry to YHWH in their adversity, He delivers them from their distress,
Nao magĩkaĩra Jehova marĩ mĩnyamaro-inĩ, nake akĩmahonokia kuuma thĩĩna-inĩ.
7 And causes them to tread in a right way, To go to a city of habitation.
Aamagereirie njĩra nũngarũ, nginya magĩkinya itũũra inene kũrĩa mangĩonire gwa gũtũũra.
8 They confess to YHWH His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men.
Nĩmagĩcookerie Jehova ngaatho nĩ ũndũ wa wendo wake ũrĩa ũtathiraga, na mawĩko make ma magegania marĩa eekĩire andũ,
9 For He has satisfied a longing soul, And has filled a hungry soul [with] goodness.
nĩgũkorwo nĩwe ũnyootoraga andũ arĩa anyootu, na akahũũnia arĩa ahũtu na maũndũ mega.
10 Inhabitants of dark places and death-shade, Prisoners of affliction and of iron,
Amwe maaikarĩte nduma-inĩ o na nduma-inĩ nene mũno, makĩnyamarĩka marĩ ohe na mĩnyororo ya kĩgera,
11 Because they changed the saying of God, And despised the counsel of the Most High.
nĩgũkorwo nĩmaremeire ciugo cia Mũrungu, o na makĩagĩra kĩrĩra kĩa Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno bata.
12 And He humbles their heart with labor, They have been feeble, and there is no helper.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩmarutithia wĩra wa hinya; nao makĩhĩngwo na gũkĩaga wa kũmateithia.
13 And they cry to YHWH in their adversity, He saves them from their distresses.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo magĩkaĩra Jehova marĩ thĩĩna-inĩ, nake akĩmahonokia kuuma mĩnyamaro-inĩ.
14 He brings them out from the dark place, And death-shade, And He draws away their bands.
Nake aamarutire nduma-inĩ, akĩmaruta kũu nduma-inĩ nene mũno, na agĩtuanga mĩnyororo ĩrĩa moohetwo nayo.
15 They confess to YHWH His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men.
Nĩmagĩcookerie Jehova ngaatho nĩ ũndũ wa wendo wake ũrĩa ũtathiraga, na mawĩko make ma magegania marĩa eekĩire andũ,
16 For He has broken doors of bronze, And He has cut bars of iron.
nĩgũkorwo nĩoinangaga ihingo cia gĩcango na akoinanga mĩgĩĩko ya kĩgera.
17 Fools, by means of their transgression, And by their iniquities, afflict themselves.
Amwe maatuĩkire andũ akĩĩgu nĩ ũndũ wa mĩthiĩre yao ya ũremi, o na nĩ ũndũ wa waganu wao magĩtuĩka a gũthĩĩnĩka.
18 Their soul detests all food, And they come near to the gates of death,
Magĩtuĩka a kũira ngoro mona irio o ciothe, nao magĩkuhĩrĩria ihingo cia gĩkuũ.
19 And cry to YHWH in their adversity, He saves them from their distresses,
Hĩndĩ ĩyo magĩkaĩra Jehova marĩ mĩnyamaro-inĩ, nake akĩmaruta thĩĩna-inĩ.
20 He sends His word and heals them, And delivers [them] from their destructions.
Aatũmire kiugo gĩake akĩmahonia; aamateithũrire kuuma mbĩrĩra-inĩ.
21 They confess to YHWH His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men,
Nĩmagĩcookerie Jehova ngaatho nĩ ũndũ wa wendo wake ũrĩa ũtathiraga, na mawĩko make ma magegania marĩa eekĩire andũ.
22 And they sacrifice sacrifices of thanksgiving, And recount His works with singing.
Nĩmakĩrute igongona rĩa gũcookia ngaatho, na mamenyithanie mawĩko make makĩinaga nyĩmbo cia gĩkeno.
23 Those going down [to] the sea in ships, Doing business in many waters,
Angĩ maagereire iria-inĩ marĩ marikabu-inĩ; maathiiaga wonjoria kũu maria-inĩ manene.
24 They have seen the works of YHWH, And His wonders in the deep.
Nĩmoonire mawĩko ma Jehova, makĩona ciĩko ciake cia magegania kũu kũriku.
25 And He commands, and appoints a storm, And it lifts up its billows,
Nĩgũkorwo aaririe, akĩarahũra kĩhuhũkanio kĩrĩa gĩatũmire iria rĩgĩe na makũmbĩ.
26 They go up [to] the heavens, they go down [to] the depths, Their soul is melted in evil.
Marikabu igĩikanio na igũrũ, na igĩcooka igĩikanio na kũu thĩ kũrĩa kũriku; andũ acio magĩkua ngoro nĩ ũndũ marĩ ũgwati-inĩ mũnene.
27 They reel to and fro, and move as a drunkard, And all their wisdom is swallowed up.
Makĩagaga na magĩtũgũũga ta andũ arĩĩu; ũũgĩ wao wothe nĩwakinyĩte mũthia.
28 And they cry to YHWH in their adversity, And He brings them out from their distresses.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo magĩkaĩra Jehova marĩ thĩĩna-inĩ, nake akĩmahonokia kuuma mĩnyamaro-inĩ.
29 He calms a whirlwind, And their billows are hushed.
Nake akĩhooreria kĩhuhũkanio kĩu kĩnene; namo makũmbĩ ma iria rĩu magĩkirio ki.
30 And they rejoice because they are quiet, And He leads them to the haven of their desire.
Nao magĩkena nĩ iria rĩu kũhoorera, nake akĩmakinyia nginya gĩcukĩro-inĩ kĩa marikabu kĩrĩa merirĩirie gũkinya.
31 They confess to YHWH His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men,
Nĩmagĩcookerie Jehova ngaatho nĩ ũndũ wa wendo wake ũrĩa ũtathiraga, na mawĩko make ma magegania marĩa eekĩire andũ.
32 And they exalt Him in [the] assembly of [the] people, And praise Him in [the] seat of [the] elderly.
Nĩmamũtũũgĩrie kĩũngano-inĩ kĩa andũ, na mamũgooce marĩ kĩama-inĩ kĩa athuuri.
33 He makes rivers become a wilderness, And fountains of waters become dry land.
Aagarũrire kũrĩa kwarĩ njũũĩ gũgĩtuĩka werũ, nakuo kũrĩa kwarĩ ithima ciathereraga gũgĩtuĩka kũndũ kũngʼaru,
34 A fruitful land becomes a barren place, For the wickedness of its inhabitants.
naguo bũrũri ũrĩa woimaga irio mũno akĩũtua werũ wa igata ũtaarĩ kĩndũ, tondũ wa waganu wa andũ arĩa maatũũraga kuo.
35 He makes a wilderness become a pool of water, And a dry land become fountains of waters.
Aagarũrire kũrĩa kwarĩ werũ gũkĩgĩa tũria twa maaĩ, nakuo kũrĩa kwarĩ kũngʼaru agĩtũma gũkunũke ithima;
36 And He causes the hungry to dwell there, And they prepare a city of habitation.
nao andũ arĩa maarĩ ahũtu akĩmarehe kuo, nao magĩaka itũũra inene rĩa gũikara.
37 And they sow fields, and plant vineyards, And they make fruits of increase.
Maarĩmire mĩgũnda na makĩhaanda mĩthabibũ, ĩrĩa yaciarire magetha maingĩ;
38 And He blesses them, and they multiply exceedingly, And He does not diminish their livestock.
aamarathimire nao makĩingĩha mũno, na ndaarekire mahiũ mao manyiihe.
39 And they are diminished, and bow down, By restraint, evil, and sorrow.
Mũigana wao ũgĩcooka ũkĩnyiiha, na makĩagithio hinya, nĩ kũhinyĩrĩrio, na kũnyariirĩka, o na kĩeha;
40 He is pouring contempt on nobles, And causes them to wander in vacancy—no way.
we ũrĩa ũnyararithagia andũ arĩa marĩ igweta-rĩ, agĩtũma morũũre kũndũ gũtaarĩ njĩra.
41 And sets the needy on high from affliction, And places families as a flock.
No rĩrĩ, nĩarutire andũ arĩa abatari mathĩĩna-inĩ, na andũ a nyũmba ciao akĩmaingĩhia o ta mahiũ.
42 The upright see and rejoice, And all perversity has shut her mouth.
Andũ arĩa arũngĩrĩru monaga ũguo magakena, no arĩa othe aaganu nĩgũkirio makiragio.
43 Who [is] wise, and observes these? They understand the kind acts of YHWH!
Mũndũ o wothe mũũgĩ-rĩ, nĩarũmbũiye maũndũ macio, na ecũũranie ũhoro wa wendo mũnene wa Jehova.
