Psalms 8

1 Yahweh, our Lord, people all over the world know that you [MTY] are very great! Your glory reaches up higher than the heavens!

Thaburi ya Daudi Wee Jehova, o Wee Mwathani witũ, kaĩ rĩĩtwa rĩaku nĩ inene gũkũ thĩ yothe-ĩ! Nĩũigĩte riiri waku o igũrũ matu-inĩ.

2 You have taught little children and infants to praise you; they cause your enemies and those who try to (get revenge on/get rid of) you to be silent.

Nĩũtũmĩte rũgooco ruume tũnua-inĩ twa ciana na twa ngenge, nĩ tondũ wa thũ ciaku, nĩguo ũkirie ũrĩa ũrĩ muku nawe o na mwĩrĩhĩria.

3 When I look up at the sky [at night], and see the things that you have made— the moon and the stars that you have set in place—

Rĩrĩa ndecũũrania ũhoro ũkoniĩ igũrũ rĩu rĩaku, ngoona wĩra wa ciara ciaku, mweri na njata icio wĩkĩrĩte kuo-rĩ,

4 it is amazing [to me] that [RHQ] you think about people, that you are concerned about [us] humans!

mũndũ akĩrĩ kĩ tondũ ũikaraga ũkĩmwĩciiragia, nake mũrũ wa mũndũ akĩrĩ kĩ atĩ nĩkĩo ũmũmenyagĩrĩra?

5 You made the angels in heaven to be only a little more important than we are; you caused us to be like kings [MET] and you gave us splendor and honor [DOU]!

Watũmire atigie o hanini aiganane nawe, na ũkĩmũhumba thũmbĩ ya riiri o na gĩtĩĩo.

6 You put us in charge of everything that you made; you gave us authority over all things—

Wamũtuire wa gwathaga mawĩra ma moko maku; ũkĩiga indo ciothe rungu rwa makinya make:

7 the sheep and the cattle, and even the wild animals,

ndũũru ciothe cia mbũri na cia ngʼombe, na nyamũ cia gĩthaka,

8 the birds, the fish, and everything [else] that swims in the seas.

na nyoni cia rĩera-inĩ, na thamaki cia iria-inĩ, na kĩrĩa gĩothe kĩgeragĩra kũu iria-inĩ thĩinĩ.

9 Yahweh, our Lord, people all over the world know that you [MTY] are very great!

Wee Jehova, o Wee Mwathani witũ, kaĩ rĩĩtwa rĩaku nĩ inene gũkũ thĩ yothe-ĩ!
