< Thaburi 106 >

1 Goocai Jehova. Cookeriai Jehova ngaatho, nĩgũkorwo nĩ mwega; wendo wake ũtũũraga nginya tene.
Praise ye the LORD! O give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; For his mercy endureth for ever!
2 Nũũ ũngiuga ciĩko cia hinya cia Jehova, kana aanĩrĩre kũna ũgooci wake wothe?
Who can utter the mighty deeds of the LORD? Who can show forth all his praise?
3 Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ arĩa marũmagia kĩhooto, arĩa meekaga ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire hĩndĩ ciothe.
Happy are they who have regard to justice, Who practise righteousness at all times!
4 Ndirikanaga, Wee Jehova, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ũgwĩka andũ aku wega, ũndeithagie rĩrĩa ũkũmahonokia,
Remember me, O LORD! with the favor promised to thy people; O visit me with thy 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 thy chosen, That I may rejoice in the joy of thy people, That I may glory with thine inheritance!
6 Ithuĩ nĩtwĩhĩtie, o ta ũrĩa maithe maitũ meehirie; nĩtwĩkĩte ũũru na tũkaagana.
We have sinned with our fathers; We have committed iniquity; we have done 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 regard thy wonders; They remembered not the multitude of thy mercies; But rebelled at the sea, the Red sea.
8 No nĩamahonokirie nĩ ũndũ wa rĩĩtwa rĩake, nĩguo atũme hinya wake mũnene ũmenyeke.
Yet he saved them for his own name's sake. That he might make his mighty power to be known.
9 Nĩakũũmire Iria Itune, narĩo rĩkĩhũa; akĩmagereria kũu kũriku taarĩ werũ-inĩ.
He rebuked the Red sea, and it was dried up, And he led them through the deep as through a desert.
10 Nĩamahonokirie guoko-inĩ kwa andũ arĩa maamathũire; akĩmakũũra kuuma guoko-inĩ gwa thũ.
He saved them from the hand of him that hated them, And redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
11 Maaĩ macio nĩmahubanĩirie amuku ao; gũtirĩ o na ũmwe wao watigarire.
The waters covered their enemies; There was not one of them left.
12 Hĩndĩ ĩyo magĩĩtĩkia ciĩranĩro ciake, na makĩmũinĩra, makĩmũgooca.
Then believed they his words, And sang his praise.
13 No makĩriganĩrwo o narua nĩ ũrĩa ekĩte, na matiigana gweterera ũtaaro wake.
But they soon forgot his deeds, And waited not for his counsel.
14 Marĩ kũu werũ-inĩ makĩnyiitwo nĩ thuti; makĩgeria Mũrungu marĩ kũu gũtagĩĩaga kĩndũ.
They gave way to appetite in the wilderness, And tempted God in the desert;
15 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩmahe kĩrĩa maamwĩtirie, no akĩmatũmĩra mũrimũ wa kũmanyariira.
And he gave them their request, But sent upon them leanness.
16 Ningĩ nĩmaiguĩrĩire Musa ũiru marĩ kũu kambĩ-inĩ, o na makĩiguĩra Harũni ũiru, o ũcio wamũrĩirwo Jehova.
They also envied Moses in the camp, And Aaron, the holy one of the LORD.
17 Thĩ ĩgĩatũka na ĩkĩmeria Dathani; ningĩ ĩgĩthika thiritũ ya Abiramu.
Then the earth opened, and swallowed up Dathan, And covered the company of Abiram,
18 Mwaki ũgĩakana gatagatĩ-inĩ ka arũmĩrĩri ao; rũrĩrĩmbĩ rũgĩcina andũ acio aaganu.
And a fire was kindled in their company; The flames burned up the wicked.
19 Nĩmathondekire gacaũ marĩ kũu Horebu, makĩhooya mũhianano ũtweketio kuuma kũrĩ kĩgera.
They made a calf in Horeb, And worshipped a molten image;
20 Maakũũranirie Riiri wa Ngai na mũhianano wa ndegwa ĩrĩa ĩrĩĩaga nyeki.
They changed their God of glory Into 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 saviour, Who had done such great things in Egypt,
22 akĩringa ciama bũrũri wa Hamu, na agĩĩka mawĩko ma gwĩtigĩrwo Iria-inĩ Itune.
Such wonders in the land of Ham. Such terrible things at the Red sea.
23 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akiuga nĩekũmaniina, tiga nĩ Musa, ũrĩa we aathurĩte, warũgamire mbere yake, akĩmũthaitha ndakamaniine na mangʼũrĩ make.
Then he said that he would destroy them; Had not Moses, his chosen, stood before him in the breach, To turn away his wrath, that he might not destroy them.
24 Ningĩ makĩnyarara bũrũri ũcio mwega, makĩaga gwĩtĩkia kĩĩranĩro gĩake.
They also despised the pleasant land, And believed not his word;
25 Makĩnuguna marĩ hema-inĩ ciao, na makĩaga gwathĩkĩra Jehova.
But murmured in their tents, And would not hearken to the voice of the LORD.
26 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩoya guoko na igũrũ, akĩĩhĩta atĩ nĩakamangʼaũranĩria kũu werũ-inĩ,
Then he lifted up his hand against them, And swore that he would make them fall in the wilderness;
27 angʼaũranĩrie njiaro ciao kũu gatagatĩ-inĩ ka ndũrĩrĩ, aciharaganĩrie kũu mabũrũri-inĩ guothe.
That he would overthrow their descendants among the nations, And scatter them in the lands.
28 Nĩmeyohanirie na Baali ya Peoru, na makĩrĩa magongona maarutĩirwo ngai itarĩ muoyo;
They also gave themselves to the worship of Baal-peor, And ate sacrifices offered to lifeless idols.
29 magĩtũma Jehova arakare nĩ ũndũ wa ciĩko ciao cia waganu, naguo mũthiro ũgĩtuthũka gatagatĩ-inĩ kao.
Thus they provoked his anger by their practices, And a plague broke in upon them.
30 No Finehasi akĩrũgama na igũrũ, akĩherithia arĩa maarĩ na mahĩtia, naguo mũthiro ũgĩthira.
Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment, And the plague was stayed.
31 Ũhoro ũcio ũgĩtũma atuuo nĩ mũthingu kũrĩ njiarwa na njiarwa nginya tene.
And this was counted to him for righteousness, To all generations for ever.
32 Nao makĩrakaria Jehova hau maaĩ-inĩ ma Meriba, nake Musa agĩkinyĩrĩrwo nĩ thĩĩna nĩ ũndũ wao;
They provoked him also at the waters of Meribah [[strife]], And evil befell Moses on their account.
33 nĩgũkorwo nĩmaremeire Roho wa Ngai, nake Musa akĩaria ciugo itaagĩrĩire.
For they provoked his spirit, So that he spake inconsiderately with his lips.
34 Matiigana kũniina ndũrĩrĩ icio ta ũrĩa Jehova aamaathĩte,
They did not destroy the nations, As Jehovah had commanded them.
35 no nĩgũtukana maatukanire na ndũrĩrĩ, na makĩrũmĩrĩra mĩtugo yao.
They mingled themselves with the peoples, And learned their practices.
36 Makĩhooya mĩhianano yao, ĩrĩa yatuĩkire mũtego kũrĩ o.
They even worshipped their idols, Which became to them a snare.
37 Makĩrutĩra ndaimono aanake na airĩtu ao marĩ magongona.
Their sons and their daughters they sacrificed 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.
And shed innocent blood, The blood of their own 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.
Thus they defiled themselves with their works, And played the harlot with their practices.
40 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova akĩrakarĩra andũ ake, na agĩthũũra igai rĩake mũno.
Then burned the anger of the LORD against his people, So that he abhorred his own inheritance.
41 Akĩmaneana kũrĩ ndũrĩrĩ, nĩguo maathagwo nĩ thũ ciao.
And he gave them into the hand of the nations, And they who hated them ruled over them.
42 Thũ ciao ikĩmahinyĩrĩria, na ikĩmaiga rungu rwa wathani wao.
Their enemies oppressed them, And they were bowed down under their hand.
43 Nake akĩmateithũra mahinda maingĩ, no-o makĩrema, makĩrikĩra mehia-inĩ mao.
Many times did he deliver them; But they provoked him by their devices, And they were brought low for their iniquities.
44 Nowe akĩona mĩnyamaro yao rĩrĩa aaiguire magĩkaya;
Yet, when he heard their cries, He had regard to their affliction;
45 nĩ ũndũ wao akĩririkana kĩrĩkanĩro gĩake, na nĩ ũndũ wa wendo wake mũnene akĩringwo nĩ tha.
He remembered his covenant with them, And repented according to the greatness of his mercy,
46 Agĩtũma maiguĩrwo tha nĩ arĩa othe maamatahĩte.
And caused them to find pity Among all that carried 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 Jehovah, our God! and gather us from among the nations, That we may give thanks to thy holy name, And glory in thy 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 Jehovah, the God of Israel, From everlasting to everlasting! And let all the people say, Amen! Praise ye Jehovah!]
