Psalms 105
1 Give thanks to Yahweh, and tell others that he is very great! Tell everyone in the world what he has done!
Cookeria Jehova ngaatho, kaĩrai rĩĩtwa rĩake; menyithiai ndũrĩrĩ maũndũ marĩa ekĩte.
2 Sing to him; praise him as you sing to him; tell others about his wonderful miracles.
Mũinĩrei, mũmũinĩre mũkĩmũgoocaga; heanai ũhoro wa ciĩko ciake ciothe cia magegania.
3 Be happy because [you know that] he [MTY] is holy! You people who worship Yahweh, rejoice!
Mwĩrahei nĩ ũndũ wa rĩĩtwa rĩake itheru; ngoro cia arĩa marongoragia Jehova nĩikene.
4 Ask Yahweh to help you and give you his strength, and continue to ask him!
Cũthĩrĩriai Jehova na hinya wake; mathaai ũthiũ wake hĩndĩ ciothe.
5 You people who are descendants of God’s servant Abraham, you descendants of Jacob, the man God chose, think about [all] the wonderful things that he has done: He performed miracles, and he punished [all our enemies].
Ririkanai magegania marĩa ekĩte, na ciama ciake, na matuĩro ma ciira marĩa atuĩte,
inyuĩ njiaro cia Iburahĩmu ndungata yake, o inyuĩ ciana cia Jakubu, inyuĩ ake athuure.
7 He is Yahweh, our God. He rules and judges [people] throughout the earth.
Jehova nĩwe Ngai witũ; matuĩro make ma ciira marĩ thĩ yothe.
8 He never forgets the agreement that he made; he made a promise that will last for 1,000 generations;
Nĩaririkanaga kĩrĩkanĩro gĩake nginya tene, nĩkĩo kiugo kĩrĩa aathanire, nĩ ũndũ wa njiarwa ngiri,
9 that is the agreement that he made with Abraham, and he repeated that agreement with Isaac.
kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa aarĩkanĩire na Iburahĩmu, na noguo mwĩhĩtwa ũrĩa eehĩtire harĩ Isaaka.
10 [Later] he confirmed it [again] to Jacob as an agreement for the Israeli [people] that would last forever.
Nĩagĩĩkĩrire hinya harĩ Jakubu kĩrĩ kĩrĩra gĩake kĩa watho wa kũrũmagĩrĩrwo, agĩgĩĩkĩra hinya harĩ Isiraeli kĩrĩ kĩrĩkanĩro gĩa gũtũũra tene na tene:
11 What he said was, “I will give you the Canaan region; it will belong to you [and your descendants forever].”
“Wee nĩwe ngaahe bũrũri wa Kaanani ũtuĩke igai rĩrĩa ũkaagaya.”
12 [He said that to them] when there were only a few of them, a tiny group of people who were living in that land like strangers.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa maarĩ o anini magĩtarwo, o anini biũ, na marĩ ageni kuo-rĩ,
13 They continued to wander from one place to another, from one kingdom to another.
morũũraga kuuma rũrĩrĩ rũmwe nginya rũrĩa rũngĩ, na kuuma ũthamaki-inĩ ũmwe nginya ũrĩa ũngĩ.
14 But he did not allow others to oppress them. He warned those kings by saying to them,
Ndarĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe eetĩkĩririe amanyariire; nĩ ũndũ wao akĩrũithia athamaki, akĩmeera atĩrĩ:
15 “Do not do harm the [people] whom I have chosen! Do not harm my prophets!”
“Mũtikanahutie andũ arĩa akwa aitĩrĩrie maguta; mũtikaneke anabii akwa ũũru.”
16 He sent a famine to Canaan, and [as a result all the people] had no food to eat.
Agĩtũma bũrũri ũcio ũgĩe ngʼaragu, na akĩniina mĩthiithũ yao yothe ya irio;
17 So his people went to Egypt, but first he sent someone there. He sent Joseph, who had been sold to be a slave.
agĩtũma mũndũ athiĩ mbere yao: nĩwe Jusufu, ũrĩa wendirio arĩ ngombo.
18 [Later, while Joseph was in prison in Egypt], they put his legs in shackles that bruised his feet, and they put an iron collar around his neck.
Nĩmamũtiihirie magũrũ na bĩngũ, na makĩmuoha ngingo na igera,
19 There, Yahweh (refined Joseph’s character/tested Joseph to see if Joseph would continue to trust him), until what Joseph predicted would happen (came true/happened).
nginya ũrĩa oigĩte ũgĩkinyanĩra, nginya kiugo kĩa Jehova gĩkĩonania atĩ aarĩ mũndũ wa ma.
20 The king [of Egypt] summoned him, and he set Joseph free; this ruler of many people-groups released Joseph [from prison].
Mũthamaki agĩtũmana na akĩmuohorithia, mwathi ũcio wa ndũrĩrĩ akĩmũrekereria.
21 [Then] he appointed him to take care of everything in the king’s household, to take care of everything that the king possessed.
Akĩmũtua mwathi wa indo cia nyũmba yake, na mũrori wa indo iria ciothe aarĩ nacio,
22 (Joseph was permitted/He permitted Joseph) to command the king’s servants to do anything that Joseph wanted them to do, and [even] to tell the king’s advisors the things that they should do [for the people of Egypt].
nĩguo ataarage anene ake o ũrĩa angĩonire kwagĩrĩire, na arutage athuuri ake ũũgĩ.
23 Later, [Joseph’s father] Jacob arrived in Egypt. He lived like a foreigner in the land that belonged to the descendants of Ham.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Isiraeli agĩthiĩ Misiri; Jakubu agĩtũũra arĩ mũgeni bũrũri-inĩ ũcio wa Hamu.
24 And [years later] Yahweh caused the descendants of Jacob to become very numerous. [As a result], their enemies, [the Egyptians], considered that the Israelis were too strong.
Jehova agĩtũma andũ ake maciarane mũno; agĩtũma maingĩhe mũno gũkĩra thũ ciao,
25 [So] Yahweh caused the rulers of Egypt to (turn against/hate) the Israeli people, and they planned ways to get rid of his people.
iria aagarũrire ngoro ciao agĩtũma ithũũre andũ ake, agĩtũma ithugundĩre ndungata ciake ũũru.
26 [But then] Yahweh sent his servant Moses along with [Moses’ older brother] Aaron, whom Yahweh had [also] chosen [to be his servant].
Aatũmire Musa ndungata yake, na Harũni, ũrĩa aathurĩte.
27 Those two performed amazing miracles among the people of Egypt, in that land where the descendants of Ham lived.
Nao makĩringa ciama ciake gatagatĩ-inĩ kao, magĩĩka magegania make bũrũri-inĩ wa Hamu.
28 Yahweh sent darkness, so that the people of Egypt could not see anything [DOU], but the rulers of Egypt refused [RHQ] to obey when [Moses and Aaron] commanded [them to let the Israeli people leave Egypt].
Agĩtũma kũgĩe nduma naguo bũrũri ũcio ũgĩtumana, tondũ-rĩ, githĩ ti ciugo ciake maaremeire?
29 Yahweh caused [all] the water in Egypt to become (blood/[red like] blood), and [his doing that] caused all the fish to die.
Akĩgarũra maaĩ mao magĩtuĩka thakame, agĩtũma thamaki ciao ikue.
30 [Then he caused] the land to become full of frogs; the king and his officials even had frogs in their bedrooms.
Bũrũri wao ũkĩiyũra ciũra, iria ciatoonyire nginya tũnyũmba twa toro twa anene ao.
31 [Then] Yahweh commanded that flies come, and swarms of them descended [on the people of Egypt], and gnats [also] swarmed across the whole country.
Aaririe, gũgĩũka mĩrumbĩ ya ngi, na rwagĩ rũkĩiyũra bũrũri wao wothe.
32 Instead of sending rain, Yahweh sent [terrible] hail, and lightning flashed throughout the land.
Akĩgarũra mbura yao ĩgĩtuĩka ya mbembe, na heni ikĩhenũka bũrũri-inĩ wao wothe;
33 The hail ruined their grapevines and fig trees and shattered all the [other] trees.
akĩrũnda mĩthabibũ yao, na mĩkũyũ, na akiunanga mĩtĩ ya bũrũri wao.
34 He commanded locusts to come, and swarms of them came; [so many that] they could not be counted.
Aaririe, nacio ngigĩ igĩũka, na ndaahi itangĩtarĩka;
35 The locusts ate every green plant in the land, ruining all the crops.
ikĩrĩa kĩndũ gĩothe kĩarĩ kĩĩruru bũrũri-inĩ wao, na ikĩrĩa maciaro ma tĩĩri wao.
36 [Then] Yahweh killed the oldest son in every house [of the people of Egypt] [DOU].
Ningĩ akĩũraga marigithathi mothe ma bũrũri wao, maciaro ma mbere ma ũciari wao wothe.
37 Then he brought the Israeli [people] out [from Egypt]; they were carrying loads of [jewelry made of] silver and gold [that the women of Egypt had given to them]. No one was left behind because of being sick.
Nĩaarutire Isiraeli makiuma kuo, makuuĩte betha na thahabu, na gatagatĩ ka mĩhĩrĩga yao hatiarĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe warĩ mũhinyaru.
38 [The people of] Egypt were glad when the Israeli people left, because they had become very afraid of the Israelis.
Andũ a Misiri nĩmakenire moima kuo, tondũ nĩmanyiitĩtwo nĩ guoya wa andũ acio a Isiraeli.
39 [Then] Yahweh spread a cloud to cover the Israelis; and [at night it became] a big fire [in the sky] to give them light.
Nĩatambũrũkirie itu rĩmahumbagĩre, o na mwaki wa kũmamũrĩkagĩra ũtukũ.
40 [Later] the Israelis asked for [meat to eat], and Yahweh sent [flocks of] quail to them, and he gave them plenty of manna [food] from the sky [each morning].
Metirie irio, nake akĩmarehere tũmakia-arũme, na akĩmahũũnia na irio cia igũrũ.
41 [One day] he caused a rock to open up and water poured out [for them to drink]; it was like a river flowing in that desert.
Aatũranirie rwaro rwa ihiga, namo maaĩ magĩtothoka; magĩgĩtherera ta rũũĩ kũu werũ-inĩ.
42 [He did that] because he kept thinking about the sacred promise [that he had given] to his servant, Abraham.
Nĩgũkorwo nĩaririkanire kĩĩranĩro gĩake gĩtheru kĩrĩa aarĩkanĩire na ndungata yake Iburahĩmu.
43 So his people were joyful as he brought them out from Egypt; those people whom he had chosen were shouting joyfully as they went.
Nĩaarutire andũ ake makiuma kũu makenete, akĩruta acio ake athuure makĩanagĩrĩra nĩ gũkena;
44 He gave to them the land that belonged to the people-groups [that lived there in Canaan], and the Israelis harvested crops that [other] people had planted.
akĩmahe mabũrũri ma ndũrĩrĩ, nao magĩtuĩka a kũgaya kĩrĩa andũ angĩ maanogeire,
45 [Yahweh did all these things] in order that his people would do all the things that he had commanded them to do [DOU]. Praise Yahweh!
nĩguo marũmagie mataaro make, na maathĩkagĩre mawatho make. Goocai Jehova.
