Psalms 81
1 To the Overseer. — 'On the Gittith.' By Asaph. Cry aloud to God our strength, Shout to the God of Jacob.
Thaburi ya Asafu Inĩrai Ngai, o we hinya witũ, nĩ ũndũ wa gũkena; anĩrĩrai mũinĩre Ngai wa Jakubu!
2 Lift up a song, and give out a timbrel, A pleasant harp with psaltery.
Ambĩrĩriai kũina, hũũrai kĩhembe, na mũhũũre kĩnanda kĩa mũgeeto kĩrĩa kĩgambi wega, o na gĩa kĩnũbi.
3 Blow in the month a trumpet, In the new moon, at the day of our festival,
Huhai coro hĩndĩ ya Karũgamo ka Mweri, na ningĩ rĩrĩa mweri waiganana, mũthenya ũrĩa wa Gĩathĩ giitũ;
4 For a statute to Israel it [is], An ordinance of the God of Jacob.
ũyũ nĩ watho wa kĩrĩra gĩa kũrũmĩrĩrwo kũrĩ Isiraeli, o guo watho wa Ngai wa Jakubu.
5 A testimony on Joseph He hath placed it, In his going forth over the land of Egypt. A lip, I have not known — I hear.
We nĩaũhaandire ũtuĩke kĩrĩra harĩ Jusufu hĩndĩ ĩrĩa aathiire gũtharĩkĩra bũrũri wa Misiri, kũrĩa twaiguire mwario tũtaamenyire.
6 From the burden his shoulder I turned aside, His hands from the basket pass over.
Ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩndeheririe mũrigo kuuma ciande-inĩ ciao; moko mao nĩndameheririe kuuma thĩinĩ wa gĩkabũ.
7 In distress thou hast called and I deliver thee, I answer thee in the secret place of thunder, I try thee by the waters of Meribah. (Selah)
Wangaĩire ũrĩ na mĩnyamaro na niĩ ngĩkũhatũra, ngĩgwĩtĩka ndĩ thĩinĩ wa mũrurumo wa ngwa; ndakũgeririe ũrĩ kũu maaĩ-inĩ ma Meriba.
8 Hear, O My people, and I testify to thee, O Israel, if thou dost hearken to me:
“Inyuĩ andũ akwa, iguai ngĩmũkaania, naarĩ korwo no mũũthikĩrĩrie, inyuĩ Isiraeli!
9 There is not in thee a strange god, And thou bowest not thyself to a strange god.
Mũtikanagĩe na ngai ngʼeni gatagatĩ-inĩ kanyu; mũtikanainamĩrĩre ngai ya kũngĩ.
10 I [am] Jehovah thy God, Who bringeth thee up out of the land of Egypt. Enlarge thy mouth, and I fill it.
Nĩ niĩ Jehova Ngai waku, ũrĩa wakũrutire bũrũri wa Misiri. Athamia kanua gaku na nĩngũkũhe gĩa kũrĩa.
11 But, My people hearkened not to My voice, And Israel hath not consented to Me.
“No andũ akwa matiigana gũũthikĩrĩria; Isiraeli ndaigana kũnjathĩkĩra.
12 And I send them away in the enmity of their heart, They walk in their own counsels.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩmarekereria marũmĩrĩre ũremi wa ngoro ciao, na marũmagĩrĩre mwĩĩro wao ene.
13 O that My people were hearkening to Me, Israel in My ways would walk.
“Korwo andũ akwa no maathikĩrĩrie, korwo Isiraeli no marũmĩrĩre njĩra ciakwa,
14 As a little thing their enemies I cause to bow, And against their adversaries I turn back My hand,
ndamatooreria thũ ciao o na ihenya, na njũkĩrĩre andũ arĩa marĩ muku nao na ũndũ wa guoko gwakwa!
15 Those hating Jehovah feign obedience to Him, But their time is — to the age.
Andũ arĩa mathũire Jehova mangĩĩthuna marĩ mbere yake, na iherithia rĩao rĩtũũre nginya tene.
16 He causeth him to eat of the fat of wheat, And [with] honey from a rock I satisfy thee!
No inyuĩ ingĩmũhe ngano ĩrĩa njega mũno mũrĩĩage; ingĩmũhũũnagia na ũũkĩ wa kuuma rwaro-inĩ rwa ihiga.”
