< Psalms 107 >

1 Give thanks to Jehovah, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.
Cookeriai Jehova ngaatho, nĩgũkorwo nĩ mwega; wendo wake ũtũũraga tene na tene.
2 Let the redeemed by Jehovah say so, whom he has redeemed from the hand of the adversary,
Andũ arĩa makũũrĩtwo nĩ Jehova nĩmakiuge ũguo: o acio akũũrĩte kuuma guoko-inĩ gwa thũ,
3 And gathered out of the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south.
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 the wilderness in a desert way. They found no city to live in.
Amwe morũũrire werũ-inĩ ũtarĩ kĩndũ, maagĩte njĩra ya kũmakinyia itũũra inene kũrĩa mangĩatũũrire.
5 Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.
Maarĩ ahũtu na makanyoota, na makaaga mwĩhoko thĩinĩ wao.
6 Then they cried to Jehovah in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses,
Nao magĩkaĩra Jehova marĩ mĩnyamaro-inĩ, nake akĩmahonokia kuuma thĩĩna-inĩ.
7 he led them also by a straight way, that they might go to a city to live in.
Aamagereirie njĩra nũngarũ, nginya magĩkinya itũũra inene kũrĩa mangĩonire gwa gũtũũra.
8 Let them praise Jehovah for his loving kindness, for his wonderful works for the descendants of Adam.
Nĩmagĩcookerie Jehova ngaatho nĩ ũndũ wa wendo wake ũrĩa ũtathiraga, na mawĩko make ma magegania marĩa eekĩire andũ,
9 For he satisfies the longing soul. He fills the hungry soul with good.
nĩgũkorwo nĩwe ũnyootoraga andũ arĩa anyootu, na akahũũnia arĩa ahũtu na maũndũ mega.
10 Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron,
Amwe maaikarĩte nduma-inĩ o na nduma-inĩ nene mũno, makĩnyamarĩka marĩ ohe na mĩnyororo ya kĩgera,
11 because they rebelled against the words of God, and condemned the counsel of the Most High.
nĩgũkorwo nĩmaremeire ciugo cia Mũrungu, o na makĩagĩra kĩrĩra kĩa Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno bata.
12 Therefore he brought down their heart with labor. They fell down, and there was none to help.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩmarutithia wĩra wa hinya; nao makĩhĩngwo na gũkĩaga wa kũmateithia.
13 Then they cried to Jehovah in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo magĩkaĩra Jehova marĩ thĩĩna-inĩ, nake akĩmahonokia kuuma mĩnyamaro-inĩ.
14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and broke their bonds in sunder.
Nake aamarutire nduma-inĩ, akĩmaruta kũu nduma-inĩ nene mũno, na agĩtuanga mĩnyororo ĩrĩa moohetwo nayo.
15 Let them praise Jehovah for his loving kindness, for his wonderful works for the descendants of Adam.
Nĩmagĩcookerie Jehova ngaatho nĩ ũndũ wa wendo wake ũrĩa ũtathiraga, na mawĩko make ma magegania marĩa eekĩire andũ,
16 For he has broken the gates of bronze, and cut through bars of iron.
nĩgũkorwo nĩoinangaga ihingo cia gĩcango na akoinanga mĩgĩĩko ya kĩgera.
17 Fools are afflicted because of their disobedience, and because of their iniquities.
Amwe maatuĩkire andũ akĩĩgu nĩ ũndũ wa mĩthiĩre yao ya ũremi, o na nĩ ũndũ wa waganu wao magĩtuĩka a gũthĩĩnĩka.
18 Their soul abhors all kinds of food. They draw near to the gates of death.
Magĩtuĩka a kũira ngoro mona irio o ciothe, nao magĩkuhĩrĩria ihingo cia gĩkuũ.
19 Then they cried to Jehovah in their trouble; he saved them out of their distresses.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo magĩkaĩra Jehova marĩ mĩnyamaro-inĩ, nake akĩmaruta thĩĩna-inĩ.
20 He sent his word and healed them; he delivered them from their traps.
Aatũmire kiugo gĩake akĩmahonia; aamateithũrire kuuma mbĩrĩra-inĩ.
21 Let them praise Jehovah for his loving kindness, for his wonderful works for the descendants of Adam.
Nĩmagĩcookerie Jehova ngaatho nĩ ũndũ wa wendo wake ũrĩa ũtathiraga, na mawĩko make ma magegania marĩa eekĩire andũ.
22 Let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with singing.
Nĩmakĩrute igongona rĩa gũcookia ngaatho, na mamenyithanie mawĩko make makĩinaga nyĩmbo cia gĩkeno.
23 Those who go down to the sea in ships, who do business in great waters;
Angĩ maagereire iria-inĩ marĩ marikabu-inĩ; maathiiaga wonjoria kũu maria-inĩ manene.
24 These see Jehovah's works, and his wonders in the deep.
Nĩmoonire mawĩko ma Jehova, makĩona ciĩko ciake cia magegania kũu kũriku.
25 For he commands, and raises the stormy wind, which lifts up its waves.
Nĩgũkorwo aaririe, akĩarahũra kĩhuhũkanio kĩrĩa gĩatũmire iria rĩgĩe na makũmbĩ.
26 They mount up to the sky; they go down again to the depths. Their soul melts away because of trouble.
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 back and forth, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits' end.
Makĩagaga na magĩtũgũũga ta andũ arĩĩu; ũũgĩ wao wothe nĩwakinyĩte mũthia.
28 Then they cry to Jehovah in their trouble, and he brings them out of their distress.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo magĩkaĩra Jehova marĩ thĩĩna-inĩ, nake akĩmahonokia kuuma mĩnyamaro-inĩ.
29 He makes the storm a calm, so that its waves are still.
Nake akĩhooreria kĩhuhũkanio kĩu kĩnene; namo makũmbĩ ma iria rĩu magĩkirio ki.
30 Then they are glad because it is calm, so he brings them to their desired haven.
Nao magĩkena nĩ iria rĩu kũhoorera, nake akĩmakinyia nginya gĩcukĩro-inĩ kĩa marikabu kĩrĩa merirĩirie gũkinya.
31 Let them praise Jehovah for his loving kindness, for his wonderful works for the descendants of Adam.
Nĩmagĩcookerie Jehova ngaatho nĩ ũndũ wa wendo wake ũrĩa ũtathiraga, na mawĩko make ma magegania marĩa eekĩire andũ.
32 Let them exalt him also in the assembly of the people, and praise him in the seat of the elders.
Nĩmamũtũũgĩrie kĩũngano-inĩ kĩa andũ, na mamũgooce marĩ kĩama-inĩ kĩa athuuri.
33 He turns rivers into a desert, water springs into a thirsty ground,
Aagarũrire kũrĩa kwarĩ njũũĩ gũgĩtuĩka werũ, nakuo kũrĩa kwarĩ ithima ciathereraga gũgĩtuĩka kũndũ kũngʼaru,
34 and a fruitful land into a salt waste, for the wickedness of those who dwell in it.
naguo bũrũri ũrĩa woimaga irio mũno akĩũtua werũ wa igata ũtaarĩ kĩndũ, tondũ wa waganu wa andũ arĩa maatũũraga kuo.
35 He turns a desert into a pool of water, and a dry land into water springs.
Aagarũrire kũrĩa kwarĩ werũ gũkĩgĩa tũria twa maaĩ, nakuo kũrĩa kwarĩ kũngʼaru agĩtũma gũkunũke ithima;
36 There he makes the hungry live, that they may prepare a city to live in,
nao andũ arĩa maarĩ ahũtu akĩmarehe kuo, nao magĩaka itũũra inene rĩa gũikara.
37 sow fields, plant vineyards, and reap the fruits of increase.
Maarĩmire mĩgũnda na makĩhaanda mĩthabibũ, ĩrĩa yaciarire magetha maingĩ;
38 He blesses them also, so that they are multiplied greatly. He doesn't allow their livestock to decrease.
aamarathimire nao makĩingĩha mũno, na ndaarekire mahiũ mao manyiihe.
39 Again, they are diminished and bowed down through oppression, trouble, and sorrow.
Mũigana wao ũgĩcooka ũkĩnyiiha, na makĩagithio hinya, nĩ kũhinyĩrĩrio, na kũnyariirĩka, o na kĩeha;
40 He pours contempt on princes, and causes them to wander in a trackless waste.
we ũrĩa ũnyararithagia andũ arĩa marĩ igweta-rĩ, agĩtũma morũũre kũndũ gũtaarĩ njĩra.
41 Yet he lifts the needy out of their affliction, and increases their families like a flock.
No rĩrĩ, nĩarutire andũ arĩa abatari mathĩĩna-inĩ, na andũ a nyũmba ciao akĩmaingĩhia o ta mahiũ.
42 The upright will see it, and be glad. All the wicked will shut their mouths.
Andũ arĩa arũngĩrĩru monaga ũguo magakena, no arĩa othe aaganu nĩgũkirio makiragio.
43 Whoever is wise will pay attention to these things. They will consider the loving kindnesses of Jehovah.
Mũndũ o wothe mũũgĩ-rĩ, nĩarũmbũiye maũndũ macio, na ecũũranie ũhoro wa wendo mũnene wa Jehova.
