Thaburi 106

1 Goocai Jehova. Cookeriai Jehova ngaatho, nĩgũkorwo nĩ mwega; wendo wake ũtũũraga nginya tene.

Praise ye Yah, Give ye thanks to Yahweh—For he is good, For age-abiding, is his lovingkindness.

2 Nũũ ũngiuga ciĩko cia hinya cia Jehova, kana aanĩrĩre kũna ũgooci wake wothe?

Who can relate the mighty deeds of Yahweh? can cause to be heard, all his praise?

3 Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ arĩa marũmagia kĩhooto, arĩa meekaga ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire hĩndĩ ciothe.

How happy! They who observe justice, He that executeth righteousness at all times.

4 Ndirikanaga, Wee Jehova, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ũgwĩka andũ aku wega, ũndeithagie rĩrĩa ũkũmahonokia,

Remember me, O Yahweh, when thou acceptest thy people, 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 look upon the welfare of thy chosen ones, That I may rejoice in the joy of thy nation, 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 acted perversely, we have committed lawlessness;

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, understood not thy wonders, They remembered not the abounding of thy lovingkindnesses, but rebelled by the sea—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 known his mighty power;

9 Nĩakũũmire Iria Itune, narĩo rĩkĩhũa; akĩmagereria kũu kũriku taarĩ werũ-inĩ.

So he rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up, And he led them through deeps, as pasture-land;

10 Nĩamahonokirie guoko-inĩ kwa andũ arĩa maamathũire; akĩmakũũra kuuma guoko-inĩ gwa thũ.

And saved them from the hand of one full of hatred, And redeemed them out of the hand of the foe;

11 Maaĩ macio nĩmahubanĩirie amuku ao; gũtirĩ o na ũmwe wao watigarire.

So the waters covered their adversaries, Not one from among them, was left.

12 Hĩndĩ ĩyo magĩĩtĩkia ciĩranĩro ciake, na makĩmũinĩra, makĩmũgooca.

They believed therefore in his words, They sang his praise.

13 No makĩriganĩrwo o narua nĩ ũrĩa ekĩte, na matiigana gweterera ũtaaro wake.

Soon forgat they his works, —They waited not for his counsel;

14 Marĩ kũu werũ-inĩ makĩnyiitwo nĩ thuti; makĩgeria Mũrungu marĩ kũu gũtagĩĩaga kĩndũ.

But lusted a lust in the desert, and tested GOD in the waste.

15 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩmahe kĩrĩa maamwĩtirie, no akĩmatũmĩra mũrimũ wa kũmanyariira.

So he gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul.

16 Ningĩ nĩmaiguĩrĩire Musa ũiru marĩ kũu kambĩ-inĩ, o na makĩiguĩra Harũni ũiru, o ũcio wamũrĩirwo Jehova.

And they became jealous of Moses in the camp, —of Aaron the holy one of Yahweh;

17 Thĩ ĩgĩatũka na ĩkĩmeria Dathani; ningĩ ĩgĩthika thiritũ ya Abiramu.

The earth opened and engulfed Dathan, and covered up the assembly of Abiram;

18 Mwaki ũgĩakana gatagatĩ-inĩ ka arũmĩrĩri ao; rũrĩrĩmbĩ rũgĩcina andũ acio aaganu.

Then was kindled a fire in their assembly, —a flame, consumed the lawless ones.

19 Nĩmathondekire gacaũ marĩ kũu Horebu, makĩhooya mũhianano ũtweketio kuuma kũrĩ kĩgera.

They made a calf in Horeb, —and bowed down to a molten image;

20 Maakũũranirie Riiri wa Ngai na mũhianano wa ndegwa ĩrĩa ĩrĩĩaga nyeki.

Thus changed they my glory, for the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.

21 Makĩriganĩrwo nĩ Mũrungu ũrĩa wamahonokirie, ũrĩa wekĩte maũndũ manene kũu bũrũri wa Misiri,

They forgat GOD their saviour, who had done great things in Egypt:

22 akĩringa ciama bũrũri wa Hamu, na agĩĩka mawĩko ma gwĩtigĩrwo Iria-inĩ Itune.

Wonders in the land of Ham, Terrible things by the Red Sea.

23 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akiuga nĩekũmaniina, tiga nĩ Musa, ũrĩa we aathurĩte, warũgamire mbere yake, akĩmũthaitha ndakamaniine na mangʼũrĩ make.

Then would he have bidden to destroy them, —had not Moses his chosen, stood in the breach before him, To turn back his wrath from destroying.

24 Ningĩ makĩnyarara bũrũri ũcio mwega, makĩaga gwĩtĩkia kĩĩranĩro gĩake.

And they refused the delightful land, They believed not his word;

25 Makĩnuguna marĩ hema-inĩ ciao, na makĩaga gwathĩkĩra Jehova.

But murmured in their tents, —They hearkened not unto the voice of Yahweh.

26 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩoya guoko na igũrũ, akĩĩhĩta atĩ nĩakamangʼaũranĩria kũu werũ-inĩ,

So he lifted up his hand unto them, that he would let them fall in the desert;

27 angʼaũranĩrie njiaro ciao kũu gatagatĩ-inĩ ka ndũrĩrĩ, aciharaganĩrie kũu mabũrũri-inĩ guothe.

And would disperse their seed among the nations, and would scatter them throughout the lands.

28 Nĩmeyohanirie na Baali ya Peoru, na makĩrĩa magongona maarutĩirwo ngai itarĩ muoyo;

Yet they let themselves be bound to Baal-peor, —and did eat sacrifices to the dead:

29 magĩtũma Jehova arakare nĩ ũndũ wa ciĩko ciao cia waganu, naguo mũthiro ũgĩtuthũka gatagatĩ-inĩ kao.

So they provoked to anger by their doings, and a plague, made a breach among them.

30 No Finehasi akĩrũgama na igũrũ, akĩherithia arĩa maarĩ na mahĩtia, naguo mũthiro ũgĩthira.

Then stood up Phinehas, and interposed, and stayed was the plague:

31 Ũhoro ũcio ũgĩtũma atuuo nĩ mũthingu kũrĩ njiarwa na njiarwa nginya tene.

So it was counted unto him, for righteousness, To generation after generation, unto times age abiding.

32 Nao makĩrakaria Jehova hau maaĩ-inĩ ma Meriba, nake Musa agĩkinyĩrĩrwo nĩ thĩĩna nĩ ũndũ wao;

And they provoked by the waters of Meribah, —And it fared ill with Moses, for their sakes;

33 nĩgũkorwo nĩmaremeire Roho wa Ngai, nake Musa akĩaria ciugo itaagĩrĩire.

For they embittered his spirit, and he spake rashly with his lips.

34 Matiigana kũniina ndũrĩrĩ icio ta ũrĩa Jehova aamaathĩte,

They destroyed not the peoples of which Yahweh had spoken to them;

35 no nĩgũtukana maatukanire na ndũrĩrĩ, na makĩrũmĩrĩra mĩtugo yao.

But had fellowship with the nations, and learned their doings;

36 Makĩhooya mĩhianano yao, ĩrĩa yatuĩkire mũtego kũrĩ o.

Yea they served their idols, and they became to them a snare:

37 Makĩrutĩra ndaimono aanake na airĩtu ao marĩ magongona.

Yea they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to mischievous 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 poured out innocent blood, the blood of their sons and their daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, And the land was polluted with blood-shed;

39 Nĩmethaahirie o ene nĩ gwĩka ũguo meekire; na ũndũ wa ciĩko ciao makĩhũũra ũmaraya.

And they became unclean by their works, and became unchaste in their doings.

40 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova akĩrakarĩra andũ ake, na agĩthũũra igai rĩake mũno.

Then was kindled the anger of Yahweh with his people, and he abhorred his own inheritance.

41 Akĩmaneana kũrĩ ndũrĩrĩ, nĩguo maathagwo nĩ thũ ciao.

So he delivered them up into the hand of the nations, And they who hated them, had dominion over them;

42 Thũ ciao ikĩmahinyĩrĩria, na ikĩmaiga rungu rwa wathani wao.

And 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 rescue them, —But, they, rebelled by their counsel, and sank low in their iniquity.

44 Nowe akĩona mĩnyamaro yao rĩrĩa aaiguire magĩkaya;

Then looked he on the distress which befell them, —when he heard their loud cry;

45 nĩ ũndũ wao akĩririkana kĩrĩkanĩro gĩake, na nĩ ũndũ wa wendo wake mũnene akĩringwo nĩ tha.

Then remembered he, for them, his covenant, and was moved to pity, according to the abounding of his lovingkindnesses;

46 Agĩtũma maiguĩrwo tha nĩ arĩa othe maamatahĩte.

And granted them compassion before all their captors.

47 Tũhonokie, Wee Jehova Ngai witũ, na ũtũcookanĩrĩrie ũtũrute kũrĩ ndũrĩrĩ, nĩguo tũcookagĩrie rĩĩtwa rĩaku itheru ngaatho, na twĩrahagĩre ũgooci waku.

Save us, O Yahweh our God, and gather us from among the nations, That we may give thanks unto thy holy Name, That we may triumph aloud 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 Yahweh, God of Israel, from one age even unto another, And all the people, shall say, Amen! Praise ye Yah!
