1 Goocai Jehova. Cookeriai Jehova ngaatho, nĩgũkorwo nĩ mwega; wendo wake ũtũũraga nginya tene.
Hallelujah! Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His loving devotion endures forever.
2 Nũũ ũngiuga ciĩko cia hinya cia Jehova, kana aanĩrĩre kũna ũgooci wake wothe?
Who can describe the mighty acts of the LORD or fully proclaim His praise?
3 Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ arĩa marũmagia kĩhooto, arĩa meekaga ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire hĩndĩ ciothe.
Blessed are those who uphold justice, who practice righteousness at all times.
4 Ndirikanaga, Wee Jehova, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ũgwĩka andũ aku wega, ũndeithagie rĩrĩa ũkũmahonokia,
Remember me, O LORD, in Your favor to Your people; visit me with Your salvation,
5 nĩguo ngenagĩre ũgaacĩru wa andũ aku athuure, nĩguo ngwatanagĩre gĩkeno-inĩ kĩa rũrĩrĩ rwaku, na nyiitanagĩre na igai rĩaku tũgĩkũgooca.
that I may see the prosperity of Your chosen ones, and rejoice in the gladness of Your nation, and give glory with Your inheritance.
6 Ithuĩ nĩtwĩhĩtie, o ta ũrĩa maithe maitũ meehirie; nĩtwĩkĩte ũũru na tũkaagana.
We have sinned like our fathers; we have done wrong and acted wickedly.
7 Rĩrĩa maithe maitũ maarĩ Misiri, matiarũmbũirie ciama ciaku; matiigana kũririkana ũtugi waku mũingĩ, na makĩrema marĩ hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia iria, o Iria rĩu Itune.
Our fathers in Egypt did not grasp Your wonders or remember Your abundant kindness; but they rebelled by the sea, there at the Red Sea.
8 No nĩamahonokirie nĩ ũndũ wa rĩĩtwa rĩake, nĩguo atũme hinya wake mũnene ũmenyeke.
Yet He saved them for the sake of His name, to make His power known.
9 Nĩakũũmire Iria Itune, narĩo rĩkĩhũa; akĩmagereria kũu kũriku taarĩ werũ-inĩ.
He rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up; He led them through the depths as through a desert.
10 Nĩamahonokirie guoko-inĩ kwa andũ arĩa maamathũire; akĩmakũũra kuuma guoko-inĩ gwa thũ.
He saved them from the hand that hated them; He redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
11 Maaĩ macio nĩmahubanĩirie amuku ao; gũtirĩ o na ũmwe wao watigarire.
The waters covered their foes; not one of them remained.
12 Hĩndĩ ĩyo magĩĩtĩkia ciĩranĩro ciake, na makĩmũinĩra, makĩmũgooca.
Then they believed His promises and sang His praise.
13 No makĩriganĩrwo o narua nĩ ũrĩa ekĩte, na matiigana gweterera ũtaaro wake.
Yet they soon forgot His works and failed to wait for His counsel.
14 Marĩ kũu werũ-inĩ makĩnyiitwo nĩ thuti; makĩgeria Mũrungu marĩ kũu gũtagĩĩaga kĩndũ.
They craved intensely in the wilderness and tested God in the desert.
15 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩmahe kĩrĩa maamwĩtirie, no akĩmatũmĩra mũrimũ wa kũmanyariira.
So He granted their request, but sent a wasting disease upon them.
16 Ningĩ nĩmaiguĩrĩire Musa ũiru marĩ kũu kambĩ-inĩ, o na makĩiguĩra Harũni ũiru, o ũcio wamũrĩirwo Jehova.
In the camp they envied Moses, as well as Aaron, the holy one of the LORD.
17 Thĩ ĩgĩatũka na ĩkĩmeria Dathani; ningĩ ĩgĩthika thiritũ ya Abiramu.
The earth opened up and swallowed Dathan; it covered the assembly of Abiram.
18 Mwaki ũgĩakana gatagatĩ-inĩ ka arũmĩrĩri ao; rũrĩrĩmbĩ rũgĩcina andũ acio aaganu.
Then fire blazed through their company; flames consumed the wicked.
19 Nĩmathondekire gacaũ marĩ kũu Horebu, makĩhooya mũhianano ũtweketio kuuma kũrĩ kĩgera.
At Horeb they made a calf and worshiped a molten image.
20 Maakũũranirie Riiri wa Ngai na mũhianano wa ndegwa ĩrĩa ĩrĩĩaga nyeki.
They exchanged their Glory for the image of a grass-eating ox.
21 Makĩriganĩrwo nĩ Mũrungu ũrĩa wamahonokirie, ũrĩa wekĩte maũndũ manene kũu bũrũri wa Misiri,
They forgot God their Savior, who did great things in Egypt,
22 akĩringa ciama bũrũri wa Hamu, na agĩĩka mawĩko ma gwĩtigĩrwo Iria-inĩ Itune.
wondrous works in the land of Ham, and awesome deeds by the Red Sea.
23 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akiuga nĩekũmaniina, tiga nĩ Musa, ũrĩa we aathurĩte, warũgamire mbere yake, akĩmũthaitha ndakamaniine na mangʼũrĩ make.
So He said He would destroy them— had not Moses His chosen one stood before Him in the breach to divert His wrath from destroying them.
24 Ningĩ makĩnyarara bũrũri ũcio mwega, makĩaga gwĩtĩkia kĩĩranĩro gĩake.
They despised the pleasant land; they did not believe His promise.
25 Makĩnuguna marĩ hema-inĩ ciao, na makĩaga gwathĩkĩra Jehova.
They grumbled in their tents and did not listen to the voice of the LORD.
26 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩoya guoko na igũrũ, akĩĩhĩta atĩ nĩakamangʼaũranĩria kũu werũ-inĩ,
So He raised His hand and swore to cast them down in the wilderness,
27 angʼaũranĩrie njiaro ciao kũu gatagatĩ-inĩ ka ndũrĩrĩ, aciharaganĩrie kũu mabũrũri-inĩ guothe.
to disperse their offspring among the nations and scatter them throughout the lands.
28 Nĩmeyohanirie na Baali ya Peoru, na makĩrĩa magongona maarutĩirwo ngai itarĩ muoyo;
They yoked themselves to Baal of Peor and ate sacrifices offered to lifeless gods.
29 magĩtũma Jehova arakare nĩ ũndũ wa ciĩko ciao cia waganu, naguo mũthiro ũgĩtuthũka gatagatĩ-inĩ kao.
So they provoked the LORD to anger with their deeds, and a plague broke out among them.
30 No Finehasi akĩrũgama na igũrũ, akĩherithia arĩa maarĩ na mahĩtia, naguo mũthiro ũgĩthira.
But Phinehas stood and intervened, and the plague was restrained.
31 Ũhoro ũcio ũgĩtũma atuuo nĩ mũthingu kũrĩ njiarwa na njiarwa nginya tene.
It was credited to him as righteousness for endless generations to come.
32 Nao makĩrakaria Jehova hau maaĩ-inĩ ma Meriba, nake Musa agĩkinyĩrĩrwo nĩ thĩĩna nĩ ũndũ wao;
At the waters of Meribah they angered the LORD, and trouble came to Moses because of them.
33 nĩgũkorwo nĩmaremeire Roho wa Ngai, nake Musa akĩaria ciugo itaagĩrĩire.
For they rebelled against His Spirit, and Moses spoke rashly with his lips.
34 Matiigana kũniina ndũrĩrĩ icio ta ũrĩa Jehova aamaathĩte,
They did not destroy the peoples as the LORD had commanded them,
35 no nĩgũtukana maatukanire na ndũrĩrĩ, na makĩrũmĩrĩra mĩtugo yao.
but they mingled with the nations and adopted their customs.
36 Makĩhooya mĩhianano yao, ĩrĩa yatuĩkire mũtego kũrĩ o.
They worshiped their idols, which became a snare to them.
37 Makĩrutĩra ndaimono aanake na airĩtu ao marĩ magongona.
They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons.
38 Magĩita thakame ĩteehĩtie, thakame ya aanake na airĩtu ao, arĩa maarutire marĩ magongona kũrĩ mĩhianano ya Kaanani, naguo bũrũri ũgĩthaahio nĩ thakame yao.
They shed innocent blood— the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, and the land was polluted with blood.
39 Nĩmethaahirie o ene nĩ gwĩka ũguo meekire; na ũndũ wa ciĩko ciao makĩhũũra ũmaraya.
They defiled themselves by their actions and prostituted themselves by their deeds.
40 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova akĩrakarĩra andũ ake, na agĩthũũra igai rĩake mũno.
So the anger of the LORD burned against His people, and He abhorred His own inheritance.
41 Akĩmaneana kũrĩ ndũrĩrĩ, nĩguo maathagwo nĩ thũ ciao.
He delivered them into the hand of the nations, and those who hated them ruled over them.
42 Thũ ciao ikĩmahinyĩrĩria, na ikĩmaiga rungu rwa wathani wao.
Their enemies oppressed them, and subdued them under their hand.
43 Nake akĩmateithũra mahinda maingĩ, no-o makĩrema, makĩrikĩra mehia-inĩ mao.
Many times He rescued them, but they were bent on rebellion and sank down in their iniquity.
44 Nowe akĩona mĩnyamaro yao rĩrĩa aaiguire magĩkaya;
Nevertheless He heard their cry; He took note of their distress.
45 nĩ ũndũ wao akĩririkana kĩrĩkanĩro gĩake, na nĩ ũndũ wa wendo wake mũnene akĩringwo nĩ tha.
And He remembered His covenant with them, and relented by the abundance of His loving devotion.
46 Agĩtũma maiguĩrwo tha nĩ arĩa othe maamatahĩte.
He made them objects of compassion to all who held them captive.
47 Tũhonokie, Wee Jehova Ngai witũ, na ũtũcookanĩrĩrie ũtũrute kũrĩ ndũrĩrĩ, nĩguo tũcookagĩrie rĩĩtwa rĩaku itheru ngaatho, na twĩrahagĩre ũgooci waku.
Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from the nations, that we may give thanks to Your holy name, that we may glory in Your praise.
48 Jehova arogoocwo, o we Ngai wa Isiraeli, kuuma tene wa tene, nginya o tene na tene. Nao andũ othe nĩmakiuge, “Ameni!” Goocai Jehova.
Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Let all the people say, “Amen!” Hallelujah!
