< Psalms 68 >

1 Let God arise! Let his enemies be scattered! Let them who hate him also flee before him.
Thaburi ya Daudi Ngai nĩakĩarahũke, ahurunje thũ ciake; nao arĩa mamũthũire nĩmoore mehere mbere yake.
2 As smoke is driven away, so drive them away. As wax melts before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
O ta ũrĩa ndogo yũmbũragwo nĩ rũhuho-rĩ, ũromombũra; o ta ũrĩa mũhũra ũringũkagio nĩ mwaki-rĩ, andũ arĩa aaganu marothira marĩ mbere ya Ngai.
3 But let the upright be glad. Let them rejoice before God. Yes, let them rejoice with gladness.
No rĩrĩ, arĩa athingu marocanjamũka na makene marĩ mbere ya Ngai; marorũũhia nĩ gũkena.
4 Sing to God! Sing zahmar ·musical praise· to his name! Extol him who rides on the clouds: to Yah, his name! Rejoice before him!
Inĩrai Ngai, mũine mũgooce rĩĩtwa rĩake, kumiai ũcio ũhaicaga matu ta mbarathi, rĩĩtwa rĩake nĩ Jehova; gĩcanjamũkei mũrĩ mbere yake.
5 A father to orphans, and a defender of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.
Ngai ũrĩa ũikaraga gĩikaro gĩake gĩtheru-rĩ, nĩwe ithe wa ciana cia ngoriai, na mũgitĩri wa atumia a ndigwa.
6 God sets the lonely in families. He brings out the prisoners with singing, but the rebellious dwell in a sun-scorched land.
Ngai nĩatũmaga arĩa maikaraga marĩ oiki magĩe na mĩciĩ, arĩa ohe amohorithagia na akamoimagaria; no andũ arĩa aremi matũũraga bũrũri mũũmũ.
7 God, when you went out before your people, when you marched through the wilderness... (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.
Wee Ngai rĩrĩa woimagarire ũrĩ mbere ya andũ aku, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa watuĩkanĩirie rũngʼũrĩ-inĩ-rĩ,
8 The earth trembled. The sky also poured down rain at the presence of the God of Sinai— at the presence of God, the God of Israel [God prevails].
thĩ nĩyathingithire, narĩo igũrũ rĩkiuria mbura, nĩ ũndũ wa gũũka kwa Ngai, o Ũcio Ngai wa Sinai, na nĩ ũndũ wa gũũka kwa Ngai, Ngai wa Isiraeli.
9 You, God, sent a plentiful rain. You confirmed your inheritance, when it was weary.
Wee Ngai-rĩ, nĩwoiririe mbura nyingĩ, ũkĩnyootora bũrũri ũcio wa igai rĩaku ũrĩa wangʼarĩte.
10 Your congregation lived therein. You, God, prepared your goodness for the poor.
Andũ aku magĩtũũra kuo, na kuumana na ũingĩ wa indo ciaku, Wee Ngai-rĩ, ũgĩtanahĩra athĩĩni acio.
11 The Lord announced the word. The ones who proclaim it are a great company.
Mwathani nĩaheanire ũhoro, nao arĩa maawanĩrĩire maarĩ gĩkundi kĩnene:
12 “Kings of armies flee! They flee!” She who waits at home divides the plunder,
“Athamaki na mbũtũ cia ita moraga na ihenya; nakuo kambĩ-inĩ andũ magayanaga indo cia ndaho.
13 while you sleep among the camp fires, the wings of a dove sheathed with silver, her feathers with shining gold.
O na rĩrĩa mũkomete hakuhĩ na mwaki wa gĩikaro kĩa nja, mũhaana o ta mathagu ma ndutura magemetio na betha, nacio njoya ciayo ikagemio na thahabu ĩkũhenia.”
14 When Shaddai [Almighty] scattered kings in her, it snowed on Zalmon.
Rĩrĩa Mwene-Hinya-Wothe aahurunjire athamaki bũrũri-inĩ-rĩ, kwahaanaga o ta rĩrĩa tharunji ĩgwĩte kĩrĩma-inĩ gĩa Zalimoni.
15 The mountains of Bashan are majestic mountains. The mountains of Bashan are rugged.
Ĩ irĩma cia Bashani ti irĩma irĩ riiri; irĩma cia Bashani irĩ tũcũmbĩrĩ tũingĩ.
16 Why do you look in envy, you rugged mountains, at the mountain where God chooses to reign? Yes, Adonai will dwell there forever.
Inyuĩ irĩma ici irĩ tũcũmbĩrĩ tũingĩ-rĩ, mũrarora na ũiru nĩkĩ, kĩrĩma kĩrĩa Ngai athuurĩte gĩtuĩke gĩikaro gĩake, o kũrĩa Jehova we mwene egũtũũra nginya tene?
17 The chariots of God are tens of thousands and thousands of thousands. The Lord is among them, from Sinai [Thorn], into the sanctuary.
Ngaari cia Ngai cia ita nĩ makũmi ma ngiri, na ngiri cia ngiri; Mwathani nĩokĩte arĩ gatagatĩ ga cio oimĩte Kĩrĩma gĩa Sinai, agatoonya handũ hake haamũre.
18 You have ascended on high. You have led away captives. You have received gifts among men, yes, among the rebellious also, that Yah God might dwell there.
Rĩrĩa wambatire igũrũ, nĩwatongoririe arĩa maatahĩtwo mũtongoro-inĩ waku; nĩwamũkĩrire iheo kuuma kũrĩ andũ, o na ũgĩciamũkĩra kuuma kũrĩ andũ arĩa aremi, nĩgeetha Wee, Jehova Ngai, ũtũũre kuo.
19 Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burdens, even the God who is our yishu'ah ·salvation·. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.
Goocai Mwathani, o we Mũrungu Mũhonokia witũ, o we ũkuuaga mĩrigo iitũ mũthenya o mũthenya.
20 God is to us a God of deliverance. To Adonai, the Lord, belongs escape from death.
Ngai witũ nĩ Mũrungu ũhonokanagia; Mwathani Jehova nĩwe rĩũrĩro rĩa kuuma gĩkuũ-inĩ.
21 But God will strike through the head of his enemies, the hairy scalp of such a one as still continues in his guiltiness.
Ti-itherũ Ngai nĩakamemenda ciongo cia thũ ciake, amemende ruototia rwa arĩa mathiiaga na mbere kwĩhia.
22 The Lord said, “I will bring you again from Bashan, I will bring you again from the depths of the sea;
Mwathani ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩngaruta thũ cianyu kuuma Bashani; ndĩcirute iria-inĩ kũrĩa kũriku,
23 That you may crush them, dipping your foot in blood, that the tongues of your dogs may have their portion from your enemies.”
nĩgeetha mũtobokie makinya manyu thakame-inĩ ya thũ cianyu, o nacio nĩmĩ cia ngui cianyu igĩe na igai rĩacio.”
24 They have seen your processions, God, even the processions of my God, my King, into the sanctuary.
Wee Ngai-rĩ, mũtongoro waku nĩwonekete, o mũtongoro wa Mũrungu wakwa na Mũthamaki agĩtoonya handũ-harĩa-haamũre.
25 The singers went before, the minstrels followed after, among the ladies playing with tambourines,
Aini a nyĩmbo nĩo matongoretie, makarũmĩrĩrwo nĩ ahũũri inanda; hamwe nao nĩ airĩtu arĩa marahũũra tũhembe.
26 “Bless God in the congregations, even the Lord in the assembly of Israel [God prevails]!”
Goocai Ngai, kĩũngano-inĩ kĩrĩa kĩnene; mũgooce Jehova kĩũngano-inĩ gĩa Isiraeli.
27 There is little Benjamin [Son of right hand, Son of south], their ruler, the princes of Judah [Praised], their council, the princes of Zebulun [Living together], and the princes of Naphtali [My wrestling].
Mũhĩrĩga ũrĩa mũnini wa Benjamini nĩguo ũcio ũmatongoretie, kĩrĩndĩ kĩnene kĩa athamaki a Juda kĩrĩ ho, na makarũmĩrĩrwo nĩ athamaki a Zebuluni na a Nafitali.
28 Your God has enjoined your strength. Strengthen, God, that which you have done for us.
Wee Ngai-rĩ, onania ũhoti waku; tuonie hinya waku, Wee Ngai, ta ũrĩa waneka.
29 Because of your temple at Jerusalem [City of peace], kings shall bring presents to you.
Tondũ wa hekarũ yaku ĩrĩa ĩrĩ kũu Jerusalemu-rĩ, athamaki nĩmagakũrehagĩra iheo.
30 Rebuke the wild animal of the reeds, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the peoples. Being humbled, may it bring bars of silver. Scatter the nations that delight in war.
Rũithia nyamũ ĩrĩa ĩrĩ ithanjĩ-inĩ, ũkĩrũithie rũũru rwa ndegwa rũrĩa rũrĩ thĩinĩ wa tũcaũ twa ndũrĩrĩ. Ĩkwĩnyiihĩrie, na ĩkũrehere icunjĩ cia betha. Hurunja ndũrĩrĩ iria ikenagĩra mbaara.
31 Princes shall come out of Egypt [Abode of slavery]. Ethiopia shall hurry to stretch out her hands to God.
Abarũthi nĩmagooka moimĩte bũrũri wa Misiri; naguo bũrũri wa Kushi nĩũkenyiihĩria Ngai.
32 Sing to God, you kingdoms of the earth! Sing zahmar ·musical praise· to Adonai! (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.
Inĩrai Ngai, inyuĩ mothamaki ma thĩ, inai mũgooce Mwathani,
33 To him who rides on the heaven of heavens, which are of old; behold, he utters his voice, a mighty voice.
ũcio ũthiiaga ahaicĩte matu macio ma igũrũ ma tene, ũcio ũrurumaga na mũgambo mũnene.
34 Ascribe strength to God! His excellency is over Israel [God prevails], his strength is in the skies.
Anĩrĩrai hinya wa Ngai, we ũrĩa ũnene wake arĩ guo ũrũgamĩrĩire Isiraeli, o ũcio ũhoti wake ũrĩ kũu matu-inĩ.
35 You are awesome, God, in your sanctuaries. The God of Israel [God prevails] gives strength and power to his people. Praise be to God!
Wee Ngai-rĩ, ũrĩ wa gwĩtigĩrwo, ũrĩ handũ hau haku haamũre; Mũrungu wa Isiraeli nĩaheaga andũ ake ũhoti o na hinya. Ngai arogoocwo!
