< Psalms 89 >

1 An instruction, by Ethan the Ezrahite. Of the kind acts of Jehovah, to the age I sing, To all generations I make known Thy faithfulness with my mouth,
Thaburi ya Ethani wa mbarĩ ya Ezara Ngũtũũra nyinaga ũhoro wa wendo mũnene wa Jehova nginya tene; ndĩrĩmenyithanagia wĩhokeku waku na kanua gakwa kũrĩ njiarwa na njiarwa.
2 For I said, 'To the age is kindness built, The heavens! Thou dost establish Thy faithfulness in them.'
Nĩngumbũra atĩ wendo waku ũtũũraga ũrĩ mũrũmu nginya tene, nyumbũre atĩ wĩhokeku waku nĩũũhaandĩte o kũu igũrũ.
3 I have made a covenant for My chosen, I have sworn to David My servant:
Woigire atĩrĩ, “Nĩngĩte kĩrĩkanĩro na ũrĩa niĩ ndĩthuurĩire, na ngeehĩta na mwĩhĩtwa harĩ Daudi ndungata yakwa ngamwĩra atĩrĩ,
4 'Even to the age do I establish thy seed, And have built to generation and generation thy throne. (Selah)
‘Nĩngatũma rũciaro rwaku rũtũũre rwĩhaandĩte nginya tene, na ndũme gĩtĩ gĩaku kĩa ũnene gĩtũũre kĩrĩ kĩrũmu njiarwa na njiarwa.’”
5 and the heavens confess Thy wonders, O Jehovah, Thy faithfulness also [is] in an assembly of holy ones.
Wee Jehova-rĩ, igũrũ nĩrĩkumagia magegania maku, na rĩkagaathĩrĩria wĩhokeku waku o naguo, kĩũngano-inĩ kĩa acio atheru.
6 For who in the sky, Compareth himself to Jehovah? Is like to Jehovah among sons of the mighty?
Nĩ ũndũ-rĩ, kũu matu-inĩ igũrũ nũũ ũngĩgerekanio na Jehova? Nũũ ũkĩhaana ta Jehova harĩ ciũmbe iria irĩ igũrũ?
7 God is very terrible, In the secret counsel of His holy ones, And fearful over all surrounding Him.
Kĩama-inĩ kĩa acio atheru, Mũrungu nĩetigĩrĩtwo mũno; nĩ wa gwĩtigĩrwo gũkĩra arĩa othe mamũrigiicĩirie.
8 O Jehovah, God of Hosts, Who [is] like Thee — a strong Jah? And Thy faithfulness [is] round about Thee.
Wee Jehova Ngai Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, nũũ ũkĩhaana tawe? Wee Jehova, nĩ ũrĩ hinya, na wĩhokeku waku ũtũũraga ũkũrigiicĩirie.
9 Thou [art] ruler over the pride of the sea, In the lifting up of its billows Thou dost restrain them.
Nĩwe wathaga kĩhuhũkanio kĩa iria rĩrĩa inene; rĩrĩa makũmbĩ marĩo mookĩra na igũrũ, nĩũmahooreragia.
10 Thou hast bruised Rahab, as one wounded. With the arm of Thy strength Thou hast scattered Thine enemies.
Wahehenjire Rahabu agĩtuĩka o ta ũmwe wa arĩa moragĩtwo; wahurunjire thũ ciaku na guoko gwaku kũrĩ hinya.
11 Thine [are] the heavens — the earth also [is] Thine, The habitable world and its fulness, Thou hast founded them.
Igũrũ nĩ rĩaku, o na thĩ no yaku; Wee nĩwe wombire thĩ na kĩrĩa gĩothe kĩrĩ thĩinĩ wayo.
12 North and south Thou hast appointed them, Tabor and Hermon in Thy name do sing.
Nĩwe wombire mwena wa gathigathini na wa gũthini; Taboru na Herimoni ciinaga ikenete nĩ ũndũ wa rĩĩtwa rĩaku.
13 Thou hast an arm with might, Strong is Thy hand — high Thy right hand.
Gĩcoka gĩaku nĩ kĩrĩ ũhoti; guoko gwaku kũrĩ hinya, guoko gwaku kwa ũrĩo nĩgũtũgĩrie.
14 Righteousness and judgment [Are] the fixed place of Thy throne, Kindness and truth go before Thy face.
Ũthingu na kĩhooto nĩcio mũthingi wa gĩtĩ gĩaku kĩa ũnene; wendo na wĩhokeku nĩigũtongoragia.
15 O the happiness of the people knowing the shout, O Jehovah, in the light of Thy face they walk habitually.
Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ andũ arĩa mooĩ gũkũgooca na nyĩmbo, o arĩa mathiiaga na ũtheri waku, Wee Jehova.
16 In Thy name they rejoice all the day, And in Thy righteousness they are exalted,
Makenagĩra rĩĩtwa rĩaku mũthenya wothe; magũtũũgagĩria nĩ ũndũ wa ũthingu waku.
17 For the beauty of their strength [art] Thou, And in Thy good will is our horn exalted,
Nĩgũkorwo Wee nĩwe riiri na hinya wao, na tondũ wa ũtugi waku nĩũtũũgagĩria rũhĩa rwitũ.
18 For of Jehovah [is] our shield, And of the Holy One of Israel our king.
Ti-itherũ, ngo iitũ ĩrĩ na Jehova, mũthamaki witũ nĩ wa Ũrĩa-Mũtheru-wa-Isiraeli.
19 Then Thou hast spoken in vision, To Thy saint, yea, Thou sayest, I have placed help upon a mighty one, Exalted a chosen one out of the people,
Hĩndĩ ĩmwe nĩwaririe na njĩra ya kĩoneki, ũkĩĩra andũ aku arĩa ehokeku atĩrĩ, “Nĩheete njamba ĩmwe ya ita hinya; nĩndũgĩrĩtie mwanake gatagatĩ ka andũ.
20 I have found David My servant, With My holy oil I have anointed him.
Nĩndĩĩoneire Daudi ndungata yakwa; nĩndĩmũitĩrĩirie maguta makwa maamũre.
21 With whom My hand is established, My arm also doth strengthen him.
Guoko gwakwa nĩkũrĩmũtiiragĩrĩra; ti-itherũ gĩcoka gĩakwa nĩkĩrĩmwĩkagĩra hinya.
22 An enemy exacteth not upon him, And a son of perverseness afflicteth him not.
Gũtirĩ thũ ĩkaamwĩtia igooti. gũtirĩ mũndũ mwaganu ũkaamũhinyĩrĩria.
23 And I have beaten down before him his adversaries, And those hating him I plague,
Nĩngahehenja thũ ciake mbere yake, na njũrage arĩa othe mamũthũire.
24 And My faithfulness and kindness [are] with him, And in My name is his horn exalted.
Wendo wakwa wa kwĩhokeka ũrĩkoragwo hamwe nake, na nĩ ũndũ wa rĩĩtwa rĩakwa rũhĩa rwake nĩrũrĩtũũgagĩrio.
25 And I have set on the sea his hand, And on the rivers his right hand.
Nĩngatambũrũkia guoko gwake igũrũ rĩa iria, na guoko gwake kwa ũrĩo ndĩkũige igũrũ rĩa njũũĩ.
26 He proclaimeth me: 'Thou [art] my Father, My God, and the rock of my salvation.'
Nĩakanjĩta anjĩĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Wee nĩwe Baba, na Mũrungu wakwa, o Rwaro rwa Ihiga, Mũhonokia wakwa.’
27 I also first-born do appoint him, Highest of the kings of the earth.
Ningĩ nĩngamwamũra atuĩke irigithathi rĩakwa, na ndũme atũũgĩrio gũkĩra athamaki a thĩ.
28 To the age I keep for him My kindness, And My covenant [is] stedfast with him.
Nĩngũtũũria wendo wakwa harĩ we nginya tene, na kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa nake gĩtũũre kĩrĩ gĩa kwĩhokeka.
29 And I have set his seed for ever, And his throne as the days of the heavens.
Nĩngahaanda rũciaro rwake nginya tene, na gĩtĩ gĩake kĩa ũnene ndĩkĩhaande rĩrĩa rĩothe igũrũ rĩgũtũũra.
30 If his sons forsake My law, And in My judgments do not walk;
“Ariũ ake mangĩgatirika watho wakwa na mage kũrũmĩrĩra kĩrĩra gĩakwa,
31 If My statutes they pollute, And My commands do not keep,
mangĩgathũkia kĩrĩra kĩa watho wakwa wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo na mage kũmenyerera maathani makwa,
32 I have looked after with a rod their transgression, And with strokes their iniquity,
nĩngaherithia wĩhia wao na rũthanju, herithie waganu wao na kũmahũũra iboko;
33 And My kindness I break not from him, Nor do I deal falsely in My faithfulness.
no ndirĩ hĩndĩ ngaamwehereria wendo wakwa, o na kana thaahie wĩhokeku wakwa o na rĩ.
34 I profane not My covenant, And that which is going forth from My lips I change not.
Ndigathũkia kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa kana ngarũrĩre ũrĩa iromo ciakwa ciarĩtie.
35 Once I have sworn by My holiness, I lie not to David,
Nĩndĩhĩtĩte ngĩgwetaga ũtheru wakwa, rĩmwe rĩa kũigana, na ndirĩ hĩndĩ ngaaheenia Daudi,
36 His seed is to the age, And his throne [is] as the sun before Me,
atĩ rũciaro rwake rũgũtũũra nginya tene, na gĩtĩ gĩake kĩa ũnene gĩtũũre kĩrĩ kĩrũmu mbere yakwa ta riũa;
37 As the moon it is established — to the age, And the witness in the sky is stedfast. (Selah)
gĩgũtũũra kĩrĩ kĩrũmu nginya tene o ta mweri, mũira ũrĩa ũrĩ matu-inĩ nĩ mwĩhokeku.”
38 And Thou, Thou hast cast off, and dost reject, Thou hast shown Thyself wroth With Thine anointed,
No rĩrĩ, wee nĩũregete, na ũgatiganĩria, o na ũgakĩrakarĩra ũcio ũitĩrĩirie maguta.
39 Hast rejected the covenant of Thy servant, Thou hast polluted to the earth his crown,
Wee nĩũkanĩte kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa ũrĩkanĩire na ndungata yaku, na ũkarangĩrĩria thũmbĩ yake rũkũngũ-inĩ.
40 Thou hast broken down all his hedges, Thou hast made his fenced places a ruin.
Wee ũmomorete thingo ciake ciothe na ũkaananga ciĩhitho ciake iria cia hinya.
41 Spoiled him have all passing by the way, He hath been a reproach to his neighbours,
Ehĩtũkĩri othe nĩmatahĩte indo ciake; atuĩkĩte wa kũnyararwo nĩ andũ arĩa mariganĩtie nake.
42 Thou hast exalted the right hand of his adversaries, Thou hast caused all his enemies to rejoice.
Wee nĩũtũũgĩrĩtie guoko kwa ũrĩo kwa arĩa mamũthũire; nĩũtũmĩte thũ ciake ciothe ikene.
43 Also — Thou turnest back the sharpness of his sword, And hast not established him in battle,
Ũũgĩ wa rũhiũ rwake rwa njora nĩũũhũndũrĩte, na ũkaaga kũmũteithĩrĩria mbaara-inĩ.
44 Hast caused [him] to cease from his brightness, And his throne to the earth hast cast down.
Nĩũniinĩte riiri wake ũgathira, na ũgaikania gĩtĩ gĩake kĩa ũnene thĩ.
45 Thou hast shortened the days of his youth, Hast covered him over [with] shame. (Selah)
Nĩũnyiihĩtie matukũ ma wĩthĩ wake; ũmũhumbĩte thoni o ta nguo.
46 Till when, O Jehovah, art Thou hidden? For ever doth Thy fury burn as fire?
Nĩ nginya rĩ, Wee Jehova? Ũgũtũũra wĩhithĩte nginya tene? Nĩ nginya rĩ mangʼũrĩ maku megũtũũra maakanĩte ta mwaki?
47 Remember, I pray Thee, what [is] life-time? Wherefore in vain hast Thou created All the sons of men?
Ririkana ũrĩa mũtũũrĩre wakwa ũrĩ wa gũthira o narua. Kaĩ akĩrĩ ũndũ wa tũhũ watũmire ũmbe andũ othe!
48 Who [is] the man that liveth, and doth not see death? He delivereth his soul from the hand of Sheol. (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
Nĩ mũndũ ũrĩkũ ũngĩtũũra muoyo na ndonane na gĩkuũ, kana ehonokie kuuma kũrĩ hinya wa mbĩrĩra? (Sheol h7585)
49 Where [are] Thy former kindnesses, O Lord. Thou hast sworn to David in Thy faithfulness,
Wee Mwathani, wendo waku mũnene ũrĩa wa tene ũkĩrĩ kũ, ũrĩa wehĩtire, ũkĩĩrĩra Daudi na ũndũ wa wĩhokeku waku?
50 Remember, O Lord, the reproach of Thy servants, I have borne in my bosom all the strivings of the peoples,
Mwathani, ririkana ũrĩa ndungata yaku ĩnyũrũrĩtio, na ũrĩa nyũmĩrĩirie irumi iria numĩtwo nĩ ndũrĩrĩ ciothe ngoro-inĩ yakwa,
51 Wherewith Thine enemies reproached, O Jehovah, Wherewith they have reproached The steps of Thine anointed.
o irumi iria thũ ciaku iinyũrũrĩtie nacio, Wee Jehova, iria itũire inyũrũrĩtie makinya ma ũrĩa wee ũitĩrĩirie maguta nacio.
52 Blessed [is] Jehovah to the age. Amen, and amen!
Jehova arogoocwo nginya tene!
