Psalms 118
1 Give thanks to YHWH, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.
Cookeriai Jehova ngaatho nĩgũkorwo nĩ mwega; wendo wake nĩ wa tene na tene.
2 Let Israel now say that his loving kindness endures forever.
Andũ a Isiraeli nĩmoige atĩrĩ, “Wendo wake nĩ wa tene na tene.”
3 Let the house of Aaron now say that his loving kindness endures forever.
Nyũmba ya Harũni nĩyuuge atĩrĩ, “Wendo wake nĩ wa tene na tene.”
4 Now let those who fear YHWH say that his loving kindness endures forever.
Andũ arĩa metigĩrĩte Jehova nĩmoige atĩrĩ, “Wendo wake nĩ wa tene na tene.”
5 Out of my distress, I called on JAH. JAH answered me with freedom.
Ndakaĩire Jehova ndĩ mĩnyamaro-inĩ, nake akĩnjĩtĩka na akĩndeithũra.
6 YHWH is my helper; I will not fear. What can humans do to me?
Jehova arĩ hamwe na niĩ; ndingĩĩtigĩra. Mũndũ-rĩ, nĩ atĩa angĩhota kũnjĩka?
7 YHWH is my helper; and I will look in triumph on those who hate me.
Jehova arĩ hamwe na niĩ; nĩwe mũndeithia. Nĩngerorera thũ ciakwa ikĩhootwo.
8 It is better to take refuge in YHWH, than to put confidence in man.
Nĩ kaba kũũrĩra harĩ Jehova, gũkĩra kwĩhoka mũndũ.
9 It is better to take refuge in YHWH, than to put confidence in princes.
Nĩ kaba kũũrĩra harĩ Jehova, gũkĩra kwĩhoka anene.
10 All the nations surrounded me, but in the name of YHWH, I cut them off.
Ndarigiicĩirio nĩ ndũrĩrĩ ciothe, no tondũ wa kwĩhoka rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova, ngĩciananga.
11 They surrounded me, yes, they surrounded me. In the name of YHWH I indeed cut them off.
Ciandigiicĩirie mĩena yothe, no tondũ wa kwĩhoka rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova, ngĩciananga.
12 They surrounded me like bees. They blazed like a fire among thorns. In the name of YHWH I cut them off.
Ciathiũrũrũkĩirie na mĩena yothe ta njũkĩ, no ikĩhora narua o ta mwaki wa mĩigua; tondũ wa kwĩhoka rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova ngĩciananga.
13 I was pushed hard, to make me fall, but YHWH helped me.
Ndahatĩkĩtwo mũno nĩ thũ hakuhĩ ngwe, no Jehova akĩndeithia.
14 JAH is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation.
Jehova nĩwe hinya wakwa na nĩwe ũtũmaga nyine; nake nĩatuĩkĩte ũhonokio wakwa.
15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous. "The right hand of YHWH does valiantly.
Mbugĩrĩrio ya gĩkeno na ya ũhootani ĩiyũrĩte hema-inĩ cia andũ arĩa athingu, atĩ: “Guoko kwa ũrĩo kwa Jehova nĩ gwĩkĩte maũndũ manene!
16 The right hand of YHWH is exalted. The right hand of YHWH does valiantly."
Guoko kwa ũrĩo kwa Jehova nĩ kwambararie; guoko kwa ũrĩo kwa Jehova nĩ gwĩkĩte maũndũ manene!”
17 I will not die, but live, and declare the works of JAH.
Niĩ gũkua ndigũkua, no nĩngũtũũra muoyo, ngʼanage ũrĩa Jehova ekĩte.
18 JAH has punished me severely, but he has not given me over to death.
Jehova nĩaherithĩtie mũno, no ndandekereirie ngue.
19 Open to me the gates of righteousness. I will enter into them and praise JAH.
Hingũrĩrai ihingo cia ũthingu; nĩngũtoonya njookerie Jehova ngaatho.
20 This is the gate of YHWH; the righteous will enter into it.
Gĩkĩ nĩkĩo kĩhingo kĩa Jehova kĩrĩa andũ arĩa athingu mangĩtoonyera.
21 I will give thanks to you, for you have answered me, and have become my salvation.
Nĩ ngaatho ngũgũcookeria, nĩgũkorwo nĩwanjĩtĩkire; nĩũtuĩkĩte ũhonokio wakwa.
22 The stone which the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.
Ihiga rĩrĩa aaki maaregire nĩrĩo rĩtuĩkĩte ihiga inene rĩa koine;
23 This is YHWH's doing. It is marvelous in our eyes.
Jehova nĩwe wĩkĩte ũndũ ũcio, naguo nĩ wa magegania tũkĩwona.
24 This is the day that YHWH has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.
Mũthenya ũyũ nĩ Jehova ũtũmĩte ũgĩe; nĩtũcanjamũkei, tũkĩũkenere.
25 Save us now, we beg you, YHWH. YHWH, we beg you, send prosperity now.
Wee Jehova, tũhonokie; Wee Jehova, tũma tũgaacĩre.
26 Blessed is he who comes in the name of YHWH. We have blessed you out of the house of YHWH.
Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa ũgũũka na rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova. Ithuĩ nĩtwamũrathima tũrĩ thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ya Jehova.
27 YHWH is God, and he has given us light. Bind the sacrifice with cords, even to the horns of the altar.
Jehova nĩwe Mũrungu, na nĩatũmĩte ũtheri wake ũtwarĩre. Ambĩrĩriai gũkũngũiya, mũrĩ na mathĩgĩ moko, mũthiĩ nginya hĩa-inĩ cia kĩgongona.
28 You are my God, and I will give thanks to you. You are my God, I will exalt you.
Wee nĩwe Mũrungu wakwa, nĩngũgũcookeria ngaatho; Wee nĩwe Ngai wakwa, nĩngũgũtũũgĩria.
29 Oh give thanks to YHWH, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.
Cookeriai Jehova ngaatho, nĩgũkorwo we nĩ mwega; wendo wake nĩ wa tene na tene.
