Psalms 78
1 A poem of Asaph give ear to! O people my instruction my incline ear your to [the] words of mouth my.
Thaburi ya Asafu Inyuĩ andũ akwa, iguai ũrutani wakwa; thikĩrĩriai ciugo cia kanua gakwa.
2 I will open in a parable mouth my I will pour forth riddles from antiquity.
Ngũtumũra kanua gakwa njarie na ngerekano, ngũgweta maũndũ mahithe, maũndũ ma kuuma o tene:
3 Which we have heard and we have known them and ancestors our they have recounted to us.
maũndũ marĩa twanaigua na tũkamenya, o marĩa maithe maitũ maanatwĩra.
4 Not we will hide - from descendants their to a generation later recounting [the] praises of Yahweh and might his and wonders his which he has done.
Tũtingĩhitha ciana ciao maũndũ macio; nĩtũrĩĩraga rũciaro rũrĩa rũgooka ũhoro wa ciĩko cia Jehova cia kũmũgoocithia, na ũhoti wake, na magegania marĩa aaneka.
5 And he established a testimony - in Jacob and a law he appointed in Israel which he commanded ancestors our to make known them to children their.
Aaheire Jakubu mawatho, na akĩhaanda watho thĩinĩ wa Isiraeli, ũrĩa aathire maithe maitũ atĩ maũrutage ciana ciao,
6 So that they may know - a generation later children [who] they will be born they will arise and may they recount [them] to children their.
nĩguo rũciaro rũrĩa rũgooka thuutha rũkaamenya watho ũcio, o hamwe na ciana iria itaciarĩtwo, nĩguo nacio ikeera ciana ciacio.
7 So they may put in God confidence their and not they will forget [the] deeds of God and commandments his they will observe.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo ciĩhoke Ngai na ciage kũriganĩrwo nĩ ciĩko ciake, no kũrũmia irũmagie maathani make.
8 And not they will be - like ancestors their a generation stubborn and rebellious a generation [which] not it directed heart its and [which] not it was faithful with God spirit its.
Nacio itikahaane ta maithe macio ma tene, arĩa maarĩ a rũciaro rũremi na rũngʼathia, rũrĩa ngoro ciaruo itaathĩkagĩra Mũrungu, o rũu maroho maaruo mataamwĩhokire.
9 [the] people of Ephraim [were] equipped of shooters of a bow they turned back on [the] day of battle.
Andũ a Efiraimu, o na maarĩ na mota ma kũrũa, nĩmahũndũkire mũthenya ũrĩa wa mbaara;
10 Not they kept [the] covenant of God and in law his they refused to walk.
matiarũmirie kĩrĩkanĩro kĩao na Ngai, na nĩmaregire kũrũmĩrĩra watho wake.
11 And they forgot deeds his and wonders his which he had shown them.
Nĩmariganĩirwo nĩ maũndũ marĩa ekĩte, na makĩriganĩrwo nĩ magegania marĩa aamonetie.
12 Before ancestors their he did wonder[s] in [the] land of Egypt [the] region of Zoan.
Nĩaringire ciama maithe mao makĩĩonagĩra marĩ kũu bũrũri wa Misiri, kũu werũ-inĩ wa Zoani.
13 He split open [the] sea and he brought through them and he made to stand up [the] waters like a heap.
Aagayanirie iria, akĩmaringia; aatũmire maaĩ marũgame ta rũthingo.
14 And he guided them by the cloud by day and all the night by [the] light of a fire.
Mũthenya aamatongoragia na itu, naguo ũtukũ wothe akamatongoria na ũtheri wa mwaki.
15 He split open rocks in the wilderness and he gave [them] to drink like deeps much.
Nĩatũranirie mahiga kũu werũ-inĩ, na akĩmahe maaĩ maingĩ o ta ma iria;
16 And he brought out streams from a rock and he made to flow down like rivers water.
nĩatũmire tũrũũĩ tuume rwaro-inĩ rwa ihiga, na agĩtũma maaĩ matherere ta njũũĩ.
17 And they repeated again to sin to him by rebelling against [the] Most High in the dry region.
No-o maathiire o na mbere kwĩhĩria Ngai, magĩkĩremera Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno marĩ kũu werũ-inĩ.
18 And they put to [the] test God in heart their by requesting food for selves their.
Nao makĩgeria Mũrungu makĩendaga, na ũndũ wa gwĩtia irio iria meeriragĩria kũrĩa.
19 And they spoke against God they said ¿ is he able God to arrange a table in the wilderness.
Magĩũkĩrĩra Ngai na mĩario, makĩũrania atĩrĩ, “Mũrungu no ahote kwara metha werũ-inĩ?
20 There! he struck a rock - and they flowed out waters and torrents they overflowed ¿ also food is he able to give or? will he prepare meat for people his.
Rĩrĩa aagũthire ihiga, maaĩ nĩmatothokire boo, natuo tũrũũĩ tũgĩtherera tũiyũrĩte maaĩ maingĩ. No rĩrĩ, no ahote gũtũhe o na irio? No ahe andũ ake nyama?”
21 Therefore - he heard Yahweh and he was furious and fire it was kindled in Jacob and also anger it went up in Israel.
Rĩrĩa Jehova aiguire ũguo, akĩrakara; agĩtharĩkĩra Jakubu na mwaki wake, namo mangʼũrĩ make magĩũkĩrĩra Isiraeli,
22 For not they trusted in God and not they trusted in salvation his.
nĩgũkorwo matiigana gwĩtĩkia Ngai, kana kwĩhoka ũhonokania wake.
23 And he commanded clouds above and [the] doors of heaven he opened.
No rĩrĩ, we nĩathire matu ma igũrũ na akĩhingũra mĩrango ya igũrũ;
24 And he rained down on them manna to eat and [the] grain of heaven he gave to them.
oirĩirie andũ mana ta mbura marĩe, na akĩmahe ngano ya kũu igũrũ.
25 Bread of mighty [ones] he ate everyone food he sent to them to satiety.
Andũ makĩrĩa irio cia araika; akĩmahe irio iria ciothe mangĩahotire kũrĩa.
26 He led out an east wind in the heavens and he led forth by strength his a south wind.
O na ningĩ akĩerekeria rũhuho rwa mwena wa irathĩro kuuma igũrũ, na akĩrehithia rũhuho rwa mwena wa gũthini na ũndũ wa hinya wake.
27 And he rained down on them like dust meat and like [the] sand of [the] seas bird[s] of wing.
Akĩmaharũrũkĩria nyama nyingĩ ta rũkũngũ, nyoni cia rĩera-inĩ ciaingĩhĩte ta mũthanga wa iria-inĩ.
28 And he made [them] fall in [the] midst of camp his around dwelling his.
Agĩtũma igwe thĩinĩ wa kambĩ yao, igĩthiũrũrũkĩria hema ciao.
29 And they ate and they were satisfied exceedingly and desire their he brought to them.
Maarĩire o nginya makĩhũũna, nĩgũkorwo aamaheire kĩrĩa merirĩirie kũrĩa.
30 Not they had become estranged from desire their still food their [was] in mouth their.
No matanarĩkia kũrĩa irio icio meriragĩria, o irĩ tũnua-inĩ twao-rĩ,
31 And [the] anger of God - it went up in them and he killed among vigorous ones their and [the] young men of Israel he made bow down.
marakara ma Ngai makĩmokĩrĩra; akĩũraga arĩa maarĩ na hinya mũno gatagatĩ kao, akĩniina andũ ethĩ a Isiraeli.
32 In all this they sinned again and not they believed in wonders his.
O na amekĩte ũguo wothe-rĩ, mathiire o na mbere kwĩhia; o na ekĩte magegania make, matiamwĩtĩkirie.
33 And he brought to an end in futility days their and years their in sudden terror.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩtũma matukũ mao mathire o ũguo tũhũ, na mĩaka yao ĩgĩthira nĩ ihooru rĩa kũmaka.
34 If he killed them and they sought him and they returned and they sought earnestly God.
Rĩrĩa rĩothe Mũrungu ooraga amwe ao nĩmamũmaathaga; mamũrongoragia na makamũcookerera na kĩyo.
35 And they remembered that God [was] rock their and God Most High [was] redeemer their.
Nao makaririkana atĩ Ngai nĩwe warĩ Rwaro rwao rwa Ihiga, na atĩ Mũrungu Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno nĩwe warĩ Mũkũũri wao.
36 And they deceived him with mouth their and with tongue their they lied to him.
No-o makeyendithĩrĩria harĩ we na tũnua twao, makamũheenagia na nĩmĩ ciao;
37 And heart their not [was] steadfast with him and not they were faithful in covenant his.
ngoro ciao itiarĩ njĩhokeku kũrĩ we, na matiarĩ eehokeku harĩ kĩrĩkanĩro gĩake.
38 And he [was] compassionate - he atoned for iniquity and not he destroyed [them] and he increased to turn back anger his and not he stirred up all rage his.
Nowe no aaiyũrĩtwo nĩ tha; akĩmarekera waganu wao, na ndaigana kũmaniina. Kaingĩ na kaingĩ nĩagiragĩrĩria marakara make, na ndaigana kwarahũra mangʼũrĩ make mothe.
39 And he remembered that [were] flesh they a wind [which] goes and not it returns.
Nĩaaririkanire atĩ maarĩ o andũ tu, karũhuho karĩa kahĩtũkaga na gaticooke rĩngĩ.
40 How often! they rebelled against him in the wilderness they grieved him in a desolate place.
Nĩ maita maingĩ atĩa maamũremagĩra marĩ kũu werũ-inĩ, na makamũiguithia kĩeha marĩ kũu rũngʼũrĩ-inĩ.
41 And they returned and they put to [the] test God and [the] holy [one] of Israel they pained.
Mahinda maingĩ nĩmageririe Mũrungu; maathirĩkirie Ũrĩa-Mũtheru-wa-Isiraeli.
42 Not they remembered hand his [the] day when he ransomed them from [the] opponent.
Matiaririkanire ũhoti wake: mũthenya ũrĩa aamakũũrire kuuma kũrĩ arĩa maamahinyagĩrĩria,
43 When he performed in Egypt signs his and wonders his in [the] region of Zoan.
kana mũthenya ũrĩa onanirie ciama ciake kũu bũrũri wa Misiri, kana magegania make marĩa onanirie kũu werũ-inĩ wa Zoani.
44 And he turned into blood canals their and streams their not they drank!
Nĩagarũrire njũũĩ cia bũrũri wa Misiri igĩtuĩka thakame; matingĩahotire kũnyua maaĩ ma tũrũũĩ twao.
45 He sent among them a swarm of flies and it devoured them and frog[s] and it ruined them.
Akĩmatũmĩra mĩrumbĩ mĩingĩ ya ngi ikĩmarĩa, o na ciũra iria ciamaanangire.
46 And he gave to the locust produce their and [the] result of toil their to the locust.
Irio cia mĩgũnda yao aaciheire itono, na maciaro mao akĩmarekereria ngigĩ.
47 He killed with hail vine[s] their and sycamore-fig trees their with a flood.
Aanangire mĩthabibũ yao na mbura ya mbembe, na mĩkũyũ yao akĩmĩcina na mbaa.
48 And he delivered up to hail cattle their and livestock their to lightning bolts.
Ngʼombe ciao aaciũragire na mbura ya mbembe, na mahiũ mao akĩmahũũra na ngwa.
49 He sent on them - [the] burning of anger his fury and indignation and trouble a band of angels of calamities.
Aamaitĩrĩirie marakara make mahiũ, na mangʼũrĩ, na marũrũ, na muku: akĩmarekereria mbũtũ ya araika arĩa maniinanaga.
50 He made level a path for anger his not he kept back from death life their and life their to the pestilence he delivered up.
Nĩaatemeire marakara make njĩra; ndamahonokirie kũrĩ gĩkuũ, no nĩamarekereirie kũrĩ mũthiro.
51 And he struck down every firstborn in Egypt [the] beginning of manly vigor in [the] tents of Ham.
Akĩũraga marigithathi mothe ma bũrũri wa Misiri, arĩ mo maciaro ma mbere ma mũndũ thĩinĩ wa hema cia Hamu.
52 And he led out like sheep people his and he led them like flock in the wilderness.
No akĩruta andũ ake kuo ta rũũru; akĩmatongoria o ta ũrĩa mũrĩithi atongoragia ngʼondu magĩtuĩkanĩria kũu werũ-inĩ.
53 And he guided them to security and not they were afraid and enemies their it covered the sea.
Aamatongoririe amamenyereire, nĩ ũndũ ũcio matietigĩrire; no thũ ciao ikĩhubĩkanio nĩ iria.
54 And he brought them to [the] territory of holiness his [the] mountain which it had acquired right [hand] his.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩmakinyia mũhaka-inĩ wa bũrũri wake ũcio mũtheru, akĩmakinyia bũrũri wa irĩma ũrĩa guoko gwake kwa ũrĩo kwegwatĩire.
55 And he drove out from before them - nations and he made fall them by a measuring-line of inheritance and he caused to dwell in tents their [the] tribes of Israel.
Ningĩ akĩrutũrũra ndũrĩrĩ ciehere mbere yao, na akĩmagaĩra bũrũri ũcio wa ndũrĩrĩ ũtuĩke igai rĩao; akĩhe mĩhĩrĩga ya Isiraeli mĩciĩ yao.
56 And they put to [the] test and they rebelled against God Most High and testimonies his not they kept.
No nĩmageririe Ngai na makĩremera Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno; matiathikĩrĩirie mawatho make.
57 And they turned back and they acted treacherously like ancestors their they changed like a bow of deceit.
Nĩmagire wĩhokeku na makĩaga wĩtĩkio o ta maithe mao, makĩaga kwĩhokeka o ta ũta mũgathũku ũrĩa ũtangĩĩhokwo.
58 And they provoked to anger him by high places their and by idols their they made jealous him.
Nĩmamũrakaririe nĩ ũndũ wa gũkorwo na kũndũ kwao gũtũũgĩru gwa kũhooyagĩra; makĩarahũra ũiru wake nĩ ũndũ wa mĩhianano yao.
59 He heard God and he was furious and he rejected exceedingly Israel.
Rĩrĩa Ngai aamaiguire, nĩarakarire mũno; nake agĩtiganĩria Isiraeli o biũ.
60 And he abandoned [the] tabernacle of Shiloh [the] tent [which] he had pitched among humankind.
Agĩthaama Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo ĩrĩa yarĩ Shilo, hema ĩrĩa aahaandĩte atũũranagie na andũ.
61 And he gave to captivity strength his and splendor his in [the] hand of [the] opponent.
Akĩrekereria ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro rĩrĩa rĩa hinya wake rĩthaamio, riiri ũcio wake akĩũneana moko-inĩ ma thũ.
62 And he delivered up to the sword people his and with inheritance his he was furious.
Andũ ake nao akĩmarekereria rũhiũ rwa njora; nĩarakarĩtio mũno nĩ igai rĩake.
63 Young men its it consumed fire and young women its not they were praised.
Mwaki ũgĩcina aanake ao, nao airĩtu ao makĩaga kũinagĩrwo nyĩmbo cia ũhiki;
64 Priests its by the sword they fell and widows its not they wept.
athĩnjĩri-Ngai ao makĩũragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora, na atumia ao a ndigwa makĩaga kũmacakaĩra.
65 And he awoke like a sleeper - [the] Lord like a warrior overcome from wine.
Ningĩ Mwathani akĩarahũka ta mũndũ woima toro, ta njamba ya ita ĩgĩũkĩra thuutha wa kũrĩĩo nĩ ndibei.
66 And he struck opponents his backwards a reproach of perpetuity he gave to them.
Aahũũrire thũ ciake agĩcihũndũra; aaciconorithirie nginya tene.
67 And he rejected [the] tent of Joseph and [the] tribe of Ephraim not he chose.
Ningĩ akĩrega hema cia Jusufu, na ndathuurire mũhĩrĩga wa Efiraimu;
68 And he chose [the] tribe of Judah [the] mountain of Zion which he loved.
no rĩrĩ, nĩathuurire mũhĩrĩga wa Juda, na Kĩrĩma gĩa Zayuni kĩrĩa endete.
69 And he built like [the] high [things] sanctuary his like [the] earth [which] he founded it for ever.
Nĩaakire handũ harĩa hake haamũre hakĩhaana ta irĩma iria ndaaya, hakĩhaana ta thĩ ĩrĩa aahaandire ĩtũũre ĩrũmĩte nginya tene.
70 And he chose David servant his and he took him from [the] folds of sheep.
Aathuurire Daudi ndungata yake na akĩmũruta ciugũ-inĩ cia ngʼondu;
71 From after nursing [sheep] he brought him to shepherd Jacob people his and Israel inheritance his.
akĩmũtigithia kũrĩithia ngʼondu, akĩmutua mũrĩithi wa andũ ake, nĩo mbarĩ ya Jakubu, arĩithagie Isiraeli igai rĩake.
72 And he shepherded them according to [the] integrity of heart his and with [the] skill of hands his he led them.
Nake Daudi akĩmarĩithia arĩ na wagĩrĩru wa ngoro; aamatongoragia na ũũgĩ wa moko make.
