< Psalms 97 >
1 Jehovah reigns. Let the earth rejoice. Let the multitude of islands be glad.
Jehova nĩarathamaka, thĩ nĩĩgĩkene; mabũrũri marĩa marĩ ndwere-inĩ cia iria nĩmacanjamũke.
2 Clouds and darkness are around him. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
Athiũrũrũkĩirio nĩ matu na nduma ndumanu; ũthingu na kĩhooto nĩcio mũthingi wa gĩtĩ gĩake kĩa ũnene.
3 A fire goes before him, and burns up his adversaries on every side.
Mwaki ũmũthiiaga mbere ũgĩcinaga thũ ciake na mĩena yothe.
4 His lightning lights up the world. The earth sees, and trembles.
Heni ciake imũrĩkaga thĩ yothe; thĩ ĩcionaga ĩkainaina.
5 The mountains melt like wax at the presence of Jehovah, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
Irĩma itwekaga o ta mũhũra mbere ya Jehova, igatweka irĩ mbere ya Mwathani wa thĩ yothe.
6 The heavens declare his righteousness. All the peoples have seen his glory.
Igũrũ rĩanagĩrĩra ũthingu wake, nao andũ othe makoona riiri wake.
7 Let all them be shamed who serve engraved images, who boast in their idols. Worship him, all you gods.
Andũ arĩa othe mahooyaga mĩhianano mĩicũhie nĩmaconorithagio, acio meerahaga na mĩhianano: inyuĩ ngai ici, mũinamĩrĩrei mũmũhooe.
8 Zion heard and was glad. The daughters of Judah rejoiced, because of your judgments, Jehovah.
Zayuni ĩiguaga ũguo ĩgakena, namo matũũra ma Juda magacanjamũka, tondũ wa matuĩro maku ma ciira, Wee Jehova.
9 For you, Jehovah, are most high above all the earth. You are exalted far above all gods.
Nĩgũkorwo Wee Jehova, nĩwe Ũrĩa-Ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno wa thĩ yothe; wee nĩũtũũgĩrĩtio mũno igũrũ rĩa ngai ciothe.
10 You who love Jehovah, hate evil. He preserves the souls of his faithful ones. He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.
Arĩa endi Jehova nĩmathũũre ũũru, nĩgũkorwo nĩagitagĩra mĩoyo ya arĩa ake ehokeku, na akamateithũra kuuma moko-inĩ ma arĩa aaganu.
11 Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.
Ũtheri nĩwarĩire arĩa athingu na arĩa arũngĩrĩru ngoro makaiyũrwo nĩ gĩkeno.
12 Be glad in Jehovah, you righteous people. Give thanks to his holy Name.
Kenerai Jehova, inyuĩ arĩa athingu, mũkĩgooce rĩĩtwa rĩake rĩamũre.
