1 Cookeriai Jehova ngaatho, nĩgũkorwo nĩ mwega; wendo wake ũtũũraga tene na tene.
Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His loving devotion endures forever.
2 Andũ arĩa makũũrĩtwo nĩ Jehova nĩmakiuge ũguo: o acio akũũrĩte kuuma guoko-inĩ gwa thũ,
Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy
3 o acio aacookanĩrĩirie amarutĩte mabũrũri-inĩ, kuuma mwena wa irathĩro na wa ithũĩro, na kuuma mwena wa gathigathini na wa gũthini.
and gathered from the lands, from east and west, from north and south.
4 Amwe morũũrire werũ-inĩ ũtarĩ kĩndũ, maagĩte njĩra ya kũmakinyia itũũra inene kũrĩa mangĩatũũrire.
Some wandered in desert wastelands, finding no path to a city in which to dwell.
5 Maarĩ ahũtu na makanyoota, na makaaga mwĩhoko thĩinĩ wao.
They were hungry and thirsty; their soul fainted within them.
6 Nao magĩkaĩra Jehova marĩ mĩnyamaro-inĩ, nake akĩmahonokia kuuma thĩĩna-inĩ.
Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and He delivered them from their distress.
7 Aamagereirie njĩra nũngarũ, nginya magĩkinya itũũra inene kũrĩa mangĩonire gwa gũtũũra.
He led them on a straight path to reach a city where they could live.
8 Nĩmagĩcookerie Jehova ngaatho nĩ ũndũ wa wendo wake ũrĩa ũtathiraga, na mawĩko make ma magegania marĩa eekĩire andũ,
Let them give thanks to the LORD for His loving devotion and His wonders to the sons of men.
9 nĩgũkorwo nĩwe ũnyootoraga andũ arĩa anyootu, na akahũũnia arĩa ahũtu na maũndũ mega.
For He satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.
10 Amwe maaikarĩte nduma-inĩ o na nduma-inĩ nene mũno, makĩnyamarĩka marĩ ohe na mĩnyororo ya kĩgera,
Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, prisoners in affliction and chains,
11 nĩgũkorwo nĩmaremeire ciugo cia Mũrungu, o na makĩagĩra kĩrĩra kĩa Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno bata.
because they rebelled against the words of God and despised the counsel of the Most High.
12 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩmarutithia wĩra wa hinya; nao makĩhĩngwo na gũkĩaga wa kũmateithia.
He humbled their hearts with hard labor; they stumbled, and there was no one to help.
13 Hĩndĩ ĩyo magĩkaĩra Jehova marĩ thĩĩna-inĩ, nake akĩmahonokia kuuma mĩnyamaro-inĩ.
Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and He saved them from their distress.
14 Nake aamarutire nduma-inĩ, akĩmaruta kũu nduma-inĩ nene mũno, na agĩtuanga mĩnyororo ĩrĩa moohetwo nayo.
He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death and broke away their chains.
15 Nĩmagĩcookerie Jehova ngaatho nĩ ũndũ wa wendo wake ũrĩa ũtathiraga, na mawĩko make ma magegania marĩa eekĩire andũ,
Let them give thanks to the LORD for His loving devotion and His wonders to the sons of men.
16 nĩgũkorwo nĩoinangaga ihingo cia gĩcango na akoinanga mĩgĩĩko ya kĩgera.
For He has broken down the gates of bronze and cut through the bars of iron.
17 Amwe maatuĩkire andũ akĩĩgu nĩ ũndũ wa mĩthiĩre yao ya ũremi, o na nĩ ũndũ wa waganu wao magĩtuĩka a gũthĩĩnĩka.
Fools, in their rebellious ways, and through their iniquities, suffered affliction.
18 Magĩtuĩka a kũira ngoro mona irio o ciothe, nao magĩkuhĩrĩria ihingo cia gĩkuũ.
They loathed all food and drew near to the gates of death.
19 Hĩndĩ ĩyo magĩkaĩra Jehova marĩ mĩnyamaro-inĩ, nake akĩmaruta thĩĩna-inĩ.
Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and He saved them from their distress.
20 Aatũmire kiugo gĩake akĩmahonia; aamateithũrire kuuma mbĩrĩra-inĩ.
He sent forth His word and healed them; He rescued them from the Pit.
21 Nĩmagĩcookerie Jehova ngaatho nĩ ũndũ wa wendo wake ũrĩa ũtathiraga, na mawĩko make ma magegania marĩa eekĩire andũ.
Let them give thanks to the LORD for His loving devotion and His wonders to the sons of men.
22 Nĩmakĩrute igongona rĩa gũcookia ngaatho, na mamenyithanie mawĩko make makĩinaga nyĩmbo cia gĩkeno.
Let them offer sacrifices of thanksgiving and declare His works with rejoicing.
23 Angĩ maagereire iria-inĩ marĩ marikabu-inĩ; maathiiaga wonjoria kũu maria-inĩ manene.
Others went out to sea in ships, conducting trade on the mighty waters.
24 Nĩmoonire mawĩko ma Jehova, makĩona ciĩko ciake cia magegania kũu kũriku.
They saw the works of the LORD, and His wonders in the deep.
25 Nĩgũkorwo aaririe, akĩarahũra kĩhuhũkanio kĩrĩa gĩatũmire iria rĩgĩe na makũmbĩ.
For He spoke and raised a tempest that lifted the waves of the sea.
26 Marikabu igĩikanio na igũrũ, na igĩcooka igĩikanio na kũu thĩ kũrĩa kũriku; andũ acio magĩkua ngoro nĩ ũndũ marĩ ũgwati-inĩ mũnene.
They mounted up to the heavens, then sunk to the depths; their courage melted in their anguish.
27 Makĩagaga na magĩtũgũũga ta andũ arĩĩu; ũũgĩ wao wothe nĩwakinyĩte mũthia.
They reeled and staggered like drunkards, and all their skill was useless.
28 Hĩndĩ ĩyo magĩkaĩra Jehova marĩ thĩĩna-inĩ, nake akĩmahonokia kuuma mĩnyamaro-inĩ.
Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and He brought them out of their distress.
29 Nake akĩhooreria kĩhuhũkanio kĩu kĩnene; namo makũmbĩ ma iria rĩu magĩkirio ki.
He calmed the storm to a whisper, and the waves of the sea were hushed.
30 Nao magĩkena nĩ iria rĩu kũhoorera, nake akĩmakinyia nginya gĩcukĩro-inĩ kĩa marikabu kĩrĩa merirĩirie gũkinya.
They rejoiced in the silence, and He guided them to the harbor they desired.
31 Nĩmagĩcookerie Jehova ngaatho nĩ ũndũ wa wendo wake ũrĩa ũtathiraga, na mawĩko make ma magegania marĩa eekĩire andũ.
Let them give thanks to the LORD for His loving devotion and His wonders to the sons of men.
32 Nĩmamũtũũgĩrie kĩũngano-inĩ kĩa andũ, na mamũgooce marĩ kĩama-inĩ kĩa athuuri.
Let them exalt Him in the assembly of the people and praise Him in the council of the elders.
33 Aagarũrire kũrĩa kwarĩ njũũĩ gũgĩtuĩka werũ, nakuo kũrĩa kwarĩ ithima ciathereraga gũgĩtuĩka kũndũ kũngʼaru,
He turns rivers into deserts, springs of water into thirsty ground,
34 naguo bũrũri ũrĩa woimaga irio mũno akĩũtua werũ wa igata ũtaarĩ kĩndũ, tondũ wa waganu wa andũ arĩa maatũũraga kuo.
and fruitful land into fields of salt, because of the wickedness of its dwellers.
35 Aagarũrire kũrĩa kwarĩ werũ gũkĩgĩa tũria twa maaĩ, nakuo kũrĩa kwarĩ kũngʼaru agĩtũma gũkunũke ithima;
He turns a desert into pools of water and a dry land into flowing springs.
36 nao andũ arĩa maarĩ ahũtu akĩmarehe kuo, nao magĩaka itũũra inene rĩa gũikara.
He causes the hungry to settle there, that they may establish a city in which to dwell.
37 Maarĩmire mĩgũnda na makĩhaanda mĩthabibũ, ĩrĩa yaciarire magetha maingĩ;
They sow fields and plant vineyards that yield a fruitful harvest.
38 aamarathimire nao makĩingĩha mũno, na ndaarekire mahiũ mao manyiihe.
He blesses them, and they multiply greatly; He does not let their herds diminish.
39 Mũigana wao ũgĩcooka ũkĩnyiiha, na makĩagithio hinya, nĩ kũhinyĩrĩrio, na kũnyariirĩka, o na kĩeha;
When they are decreased and humbled by oppression, evil, and sorrow,
40 we ũrĩa ũnyararithagia andũ arĩa marĩ igweta-rĩ, agĩtũma morũũre kũndũ gũtaarĩ njĩra.
He pours out contempt on the nobles and makes them wander in a trackless wasteland.
41 No rĩrĩ, nĩarutire andũ arĩa abatari mathĩĩna-inĩ, na andũ a nyũmba ciao akĩmaingĩhia o ta mahiũ.
But He lifts the needy from affliction and increases their families like flocks.
42 Andũ arĩa arũngĩrĩru monaga ũguo magakena, no arĩa othe aaganu nĩgũkirio makiragio.
The upright see and rejoice, and all iniquity shuts its mouth.
43 Mũndũ o wothe mũũgĩ-rĩ, nĩarũmbũiye maũndũ macio, na ecũũranie ũhoro wa wendo mũnene wa Jehova.
Let him who is wise pay heed to these things and consider the loving devotion of the LORD.
