< Psalms 107 >

1 Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, and his covenant faithfulness endures forever.
Cookeriai Jehova ngaatho, nĩgũkorwo nĩ mwega; wendo wake ũtũũraga tene na tene.
2 Let the redeemed of Yahweh speak out, those he has rescued from the hand of the enemy.
Andũ arĩa makũũrĩtwo nĩ Jehova nĩmakiuge ũguo: o acio akũũrĩte kuuma guoko-inĩ gwa thũ,
3 He has gathered them out of foreign lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south.
o acio aacookanĩrĩirie amarutĩte mabũrũri-inĩ, kuuma mwena wa irathĩro na wa ithũĩro, na kuuma mwena wa gathigathini na wa gũthini.
4 They wandered in the wilderness on a desert road and found no city in which to live.
Amwe morũũrire werũ-inĩ ũtarĩ kĩndũ, maagĩte njĩra ya kũmakinyia itũũra inene kũrĩa mangĩatũũrire.
5 Because they were hungry and thirsty, they fainted from exhaustion.
Maarĩ ahũtu na makanyoota, na makaaga mwĩhoko thĩinĩ wao.
6 Then they called out to Yahweh in their trouble, and he rescued them out of their distress.
Nao magĩkaĩra Jehova marĩ mĩnyamaro-inĩ, nake akĩmahonokia kuuma thĩĩna-inĩ.
7 He led them by a direct path so that they would go to a city to live in.
Aamagereirie njĩra nũngarũ, nginya magĩkinya itũũra inene kũrĩa mangĩonire gwa gũtũũra.
8 Oh that people would praise Yahweh for his covenant faithfulness and for the amazing things he has done for humanity!
Nĩmagĩcookerie Jehova ngaatho nĩ ũndũ wa wendo wake ũrĩa ũtathiraga, na mawĩko make ma magegania marĩa eekĩire andũ,
9 For he satisfies the longings of those who are thirsty, and the desires of those who are hungry he fills up with good things.
nĩgũkorwo nĩwe ũnyootoraga andũ arĩa anyootu, na akahũũnia arĩa ahũtu na maũndũ mega.
10 Some sat in darkness and in gloom, prisoners in affliction and chains.
Amwe maaikarĩte nduma-inĩ o na nduma-inĩ nene mũno, makĩnyamarĩka marĩ ohe na mĩnyororo ya kĩgera,
11 This was because they had rebelled against God's word and rejected the instruction of the Most High.
nĩgũkorwo nĩmaremeire ciugo cia Mũrungu, o na makĩagĩra kĩrĩra kĩa Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno bata.
12 He humbled their hearts through hardship; they stumbled and there was no one to help them up.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩmarutithia wĩra wa hinya; nao makĩhĩngwo na gũkĩaga wa kũmateithia.
13 Then they called out to Yahweh in their trouble, and he brought them out of their distress.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo magĩkaĩra Jehova marĩ thĩĩna-inĩ, nake akĩmahonokia kuuma mĩnyamaro-inĩ.
14 He brought them out of darkness and gloom and broke their bonds.
Nake aamarutire nduma-inĩ, akĩmaruta kũu nduma-inĩ nene mũno, na agĩtuanga mĩnyororo ĩrĩa moohetwo nayo.
15 Oh that people would praise Yahweh for his covenant faithfulness and for the amazing things he has done for humanity!
Nĩmagĩcookerie Jehova ngaatho nĩ ũndũ wa wendo wake ũrĩa ũtathiraga, na mawĩko make ma magegania marĩa eekĩire andũ,
16 For he has broken the gates of bronze and cut through the bars of iron.
nĩgũkorwo nĩoinangaga ihingo cia gĩcango na akoinanga mĩgĩĩko ya kĩgera.
17 They were foolish in their rebellious ways and afflicted because of their sins.
Amwe maatuĩkire andũ akĩĩgu nĩ ũndũ wa mĩthiĩre yao ya ũremi, o na nĩ ũndũ wa waganu wao magĩtuĩka a gũthĩĩnĩka.
18 They lost their desire to eat any food, and they came close to the gates of death.
Magĩtuĩka a kũira ngoro mona irio o ciothe, nao magĩkuhĩrĩria ihingo cia gĩkuũ.
19 Then they called out to Yahweh in their trouble, and he brought them out of their distress.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo magĩkaĩra Jehova marĩ mĩnyamaro-inĩ, nake akĩmaruta thĩĩna-inĩ.
20 He sent his word and healed them, and he rescued them from their destruction.
Aatũmire kiugo gĩake akĩmahonia; aamateithũrire kuuma mbĩrĩra-inĩ.
21 Oh that people would praise Yahweh for his covenant faithfulness and for the amazing things he has done for humanity!
Nĩmagĩcookerie Jehova ngaatho nĩ ũndũ wa wendo wake ũrĩa ũtathiraga, na mawĩko make ma magegania marĩa eekĩire andũ.
22 Let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving and proclaim his deeds in singing.
Nĩmakĩrute igongona rĩa gũcookia ngaatho, na mamenyithanie mawĩko make makĩinaga nyĩmbo cia gĩkeno.
23 Some travel on the sea in ships and do business overseas.
Angĩ maagereire iria-inĩ marĩ marikabu-inĩ; maathiiaga wonjoria kũu maria-inĩ manene.
24 These saw the deeds of Yahweh and his wonders on the seas.
Nĩmoonire mawĩko ma Jehova, makĩona ciĩko ciake cia magegania kũu kũriku.
25 For he commanded and aroused the windstorm that stirs up the seas.
Nĩgũkorwo aaririe, akĩarahũra kĩhuhũkanio kĩrĩa gĩatũmire iria rĩgĩe na makũmbĩ.
26 They reached up to the sky; they went down to the depths. Their lives melted away in distress.
Marikabu igĩikanio na igũrũ, na igĩcooka igĩikanio na kũu thĩ kũrĩa kũriku; andũ acio magĩkua ngoro nĩ ũndũ marĩ ũgwati-inĩ mũnene.
27 They swayed and staggered like drunkards and were at their wits' end.
Makĩagaga na magĩtũgũũga ta andũ arĩĩu; ũũgĩ wao wothe nĩwakinyĩte mũthia.
28 Then they called out to Yahweh in their trouble, and he brought them out of their distress.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo magĩkaĩra Jehova marĩ thĩĩna-inĩ, nake akĩmahonokia kuuma mĩnyamaro-inĩ.
29 He calmed the storm, and the waves were stilled.
Nake akĩhooreria kĩhuhũkanio kĩu kĩnene; namo makũmbĩ ma iria rĩu magĩkirio ki.
30 Then they rejoiced because the sea was calm, and he brought them to their desired harbor.
Nao magĩkena nĩ iria rĩu kũhoorera, nake akĩmakinyia nginya gĩcukĩro-inĩ kĩa marikabu kĩrĩa merirĩirie gũkinya.
31 Oh that people would praise Yahweh for his covenant faithfulness and for the amazing things he has done for humanity!
Nĩmagĩcookerie Jehova ngaatho nĩ ũndũ wa wendo wake ũrĩa ũtathiraga, na mawĩko make ma magegania marĩa eekĩire andũ.
32 Let them exalt him in the assembly of the people and praise him in the council of the elders.
Nĩmamũtũũgĩrie kĩũngano-inĩ kĩa andũ, na mamũgooce marĩ kĩama-inĩ kĩa athuuri.
33 He turns rivers into a wilderness, springs of water into dry land,
Aagarũrire kũrĩa kwarĩ njũũĩ gũgĩtuĩka werũ, nakuo kũrĩa kwarĩ ithima ciathereraga gũgĩtuĩka kũndũ kũngʼaru,
34 and a fruitful land into a barren place because of the wickedness of its people.
naguo bũrũri ũrĩa woimaga irio mũno akĩũtua werũ wa igata ũtaarĩ kĩndũ, tondũ wa waganu wa andũ arĩa maatũũraga kuo.
35 He turns the wilderness into a pool of water and dry land into springs of water.
Aagarũrire kũrĩa kwarĩ werũ gũkĩgĩa tũria twa maaĩ, nakuo kũrĩa kwarĩ kũngʼaru agĩtũma gũkunũke ithima;
36 He settles the hungry there, and they build a city to live in.
nao andũ arĩa maarĩ ahũtu akĩmarehe kuo, nao magĩaka itũũra inene rĩa gũikara.
37 They build a city to plant fields in, to plant vineyards, and to bring in an abundant harvest.
Maarĩmire mĩgũnda na makĩhaanda mĩthabibũ, ĩrĩa yaciarire magetha maingĩ;
38 He blesses them so they are very numerous. He does not let their cattle decrease in number.
aamarathimire nao makĩingĩha mũno, na ndaarekire mahiũ mao manyiihe.
39 They were diminished and brought low by painful distress and suffering.
Mũigana wao ũgĩcooka ũkĩnyiiha, na makĩagithio hinya, nĩ kũhinyĩrĩrio, na kũnyariirĩka, o na kĩeha;
40 He pours contempt on the leaders and causes them to wander in the wilderness, where there are no roads.
we ũrĩa ũnyararithagia andũ arĩa marĩ igweta-rĩ, agĩtũma morũũre kũndũ gũtaarĩ njĩra.
41 But he protects the needy from affliction and cares for his families like a flock.
No rĩrĩ, nĩarutire andũ arĩa abatari mathĩĩna-inĩ, na andũ a nyũmba ciao akĩmaingĩhia o ta mahiũ.
42 The upright will see this and rejoice, and all wickedness shuts its mouth.
Andũ arĩa arũngĩrĩru monaga ũguo magakena, no arĩa othe aaganu nĩgũkirio makiragio.
43 Whoever is wise should take note of these things and meditate on Yahweh's acts of covenant faithfulness.
Mũndũ o wothe mũũgĩ-rĩ, nĩarũmbũiye maũndũ macio, na ecũũranie ũhoro wa wendo mũnene wa Jehova.
