Psalms 81
1 TO THE OVERSEER. ON THE GITTITH. BY ASAPH. Cry aloud to God our strength, Shout to the God of Jacob.
Thaburi ya Asafu Inĩrai Ngai, o we hinya witũ, nĩ ũndũ wa gũkena; anĩrĩrai mũinĩre Ngai wa Jakubu!
2 Lift up a song, and give out a timbrel, A pleasant harp with stringed instrument.
Ambĩrĩriai kũina, hũũrai kĩhembe, na mũhũũre kĩnanda kĩa mũgeeto kĩrĩa kĩgambi wega, o na gĩa kĩnũbi.
3 Blow a horn in the month, In the new moon, at the day of our festival,
Huhai coro hĩndĩ ya Karũgamo ka Mweri, na ningĩ rĩrĩa mweri waiganana, mũthenya ũrĩa wa Gĩathĩ giitũ;
4 For it [is] a statute to 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 has placed it—a testimony on Joseph, In his going forth over the land of Egypt. A lip, I have not known—I hear.
We nĩaũhaandire ũtuĩke kĩrĩra harĩ Jusufu hĩndĩ ĩrĩa aathiire gũtharĩkĩra bũrũri wa Misiri, kũrĩa twaiguire mwario tũtaamenyire.
6 I turned aside his shoulder from the burden, His hands pass over from the basket.
Ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩndeheririe mũrigo kuuma ciande-inĩ ciao; moko mao nĩndameheririe kuuma thĩinĩ wa gĩkabũ.
7 In distress you have called and I deliver you, I answer you in the secret place of thunder, I try you by 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 testify to you, O Israel, if you listen to me:
“Inyuĩ andũ akwa, iguai ngĩmũkaania, naarĩ korwo no mũũthikĩrĩrie, inyuĩ Isiraeli!
9 There is not in you a strange god, And you do not bow yourself to a strange god.
Mũtikanagĩe na ngai ngʼeni gatagatĩ-inĩ kanyu; mũtikanainamĩrĩre ngai ya kũngĩ.
10 I [am] your God YHWH, Who brings you up out of the land of Egypt. Enlarge your mouth, and I fill it.
Nĩ niĩ Jehova Ngai waku, ũrĩa wakũrutire bũrũri wa Misiri. Athamia kanua gaku na nĩngũkũhe gĩa kũrĩa.
11 But My people did not listen to My voice, And Israel has not consented to Me.
“No andũ akwa matiigana gũũthikĩrĩria; Isiraeli ndaigana kũnjathĩkĩra.
12 And I send them away in the enmity of their heart, They walk in their own counsels.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩmarekereria marũmĩrĩre ũremi wa ngoro ciao, na marũmagĩrĩre mwĩĩro wao ene.
13 O that My people were listening to Me, Israel would walk in My ways.
“Korwo andũ akwa no maathikĩrĩrie, korwo Isiraeli no marũmĩrĩre njĩra ciakwa,
14 As a little thing I cause their enemies to bow, And I turn back My hand against their adversaries,
ndamatooreria thũ ciao o na ihenya, na njũkĩrĩre andũ arĩa marĩ muku nao na ũndũ wa guoko gwakwa!
15 Those hating YHWH should have feigned [obedience] to Him, And their time would last for all time.
Andũ arĩa mathũire Jehova mangĩĩthuna marĩ mbere yake, na iherithia rĩao rĩtũũre nginya tene.
16 He causes him to eat of the fat of wheat, And I satisfy you [with] honey from a rock!
No inyuĩ ingĩmũhe ngano ĩrĩa njega mũno mũrĩĩage; ingĩmũhũũnagia na ũũkĩ wa kuuma rwaro-inĩ rwa ihiga.”
