Thaburi 107
1 Cookeriai Jehova ngaatho, nĩgũkorwo nĩ mwega; wendo wake ũtũũraga tene na tene.
Thank the Lord, for he is good! His trustworthy love continues forever!
2 Andũ arĩa makũũrĩtwo nĩ Jehova nĩmakiuge ũguo: o acio akũũrĩte kuuma guoko-inĩ gwa thũ,
Let those the Lord has saved say that they are saved; those he has rescued from the power 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.
He has gathered them together from distant lands, from the east and the west, the north and the south.
4 Amwe morũũrire werũ-inĩ ũtarĩ kĩndũ, maagĩte njĩra ya kũmakinyia itũũra inene kũrĩa mangĩatũũrire.
They wandered in the desert wilderness, unable to find a way to a city where they could live.
5 Maarĩ ahũtu na makanyoota, na makaaga mwĩhoko thĩinĩ wao.
Hungry and thirsty, they became very discouraged.
6 Nao magĩkaĩra Jehova marĩ mĩnyamaro-inĩ, nake akĩmahonokia kuuma thĩĩna-inĩ.
Then they cried out to the Lord to help them in their troubles, and he saved them from their suffering.
7 Aamagereirie njĩra nũngarũ, nginya magĩkinya itũũra inene kũrĩa mangĩonire gwa gũtũũra.
He led them along a straight way to 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 praise the Lord for his trustworthy love, and for all the wonderful things he does for people.
9 nĩgũkorwo nĩwe ũnyootoraga andũ arĩa anyootu, na akahũũnia arĩa ahũtu na maũndũ mega.
For he gives drink to those who are thirsty, and food to those who are hungry.
10 Amwe maaikarĩte nduma-inĩ o na nduma-inĩ nene mũno, makĩnyamarĩka marĩ ohe na mĩnyororo ya kĩgera,
Some sat in complete darkness, prisoners of misery and bound with iron chains,
11 nĩgũkorwo nĩmaremeire ciugo cia Mũrungu, o na makĩagĩra kĩrĩra kĩa Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno bata.
for they had rebelled against what God had said; they had rejected the guidance of the Most High.
12 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩmarutithia wĩra wa hinya; nao makĩhĩngwo na gũkĩaga wa kũmateithia.
So he humbled their pride with the troubles of life; they tripped over and no one was there to stop them falling.
13 Hĩndĩ ĩyo magĩkaĩra Jehova marĩ thĩĩna-inĩ, nake akĩmahonokia kuuma mĩnyamaro-inĩ.
Then they called out to the Lord for help in their troubles, and he saved them from their suffering.
14 Nake aamarutire nduma-inĩ, akĩmaruta kũu nduma-inĩ nene mũno, na agĩtuanga mĩnyororo ĩrĩa moohetwo nayo.
He brought them out of complete darkness, he broke their chains to pieces.
15 Nĩmagĩcookerie Jehova ngaatho nĩ ũndũ wa wendo wake ũrĩa ũtathiraga, na mawĩko make ma magegania marĩa eekĩire andũ,
Let them praise the Lord for his trustworthy love, and for all the wonderful things he does for people.
16 nĩgũkorwo nĩoinangaga ihingo cia gĩcango na akoinanga mĩgĩĩko ya kĩgera.
For he breaks down the bronze doors, and cuts through the iron bars.
17 Amwe maatuĩkire andũ akĩĩgu nĩ ũndũ wa mĩthiĩre yao ya ũremi, o na nĩ ũndũ wa waganu wao magĩtuĩka a gũthĩĩnĩka.
They were stupid because they rebelled; they suffered for their sins.
18 Magĩtuĩka a kũira ngoro mona irio o ciothe, nao magĩkuhĩrĩria ihingo cia gĩkuũ.
They didn't want to eat; they were at death's door.
19 Hĩndĩ ĩyo magĩkaĩra Jehova marĩ mĩnyamaro-inĩ, nake akĩmaruta thĩĩna-inĩ.
Then they called out to the Lord for help in their troubles, and he saved them from their suffering.
20 Aatũmire kiugo gĩake akĩmahonia; aamateithũrire kuuma mbĩrĩra-inĩ.
He gave the command and he healed them; he saved them from the grave.
21 Nĩmagĩcookerie Jehova ngaatho nĩ ũndũ wa wendo wake ũrĩa ũtathiraga, na mawĩko make ma magegania marĩa eekĩire andũ.
Let them praise the Lord for his trustworthy love, and for all the wonderful things he does for people.
22 Nĩmakĩrute igongona rĩa gũcookia ngaatho, na mamenyithanie mawĩko make makĩinaga nyĩmbo cia gĩkeno.
Let them present thank offerings and sing with joy about what he has done.
23 Angĩ maagereire iria-inĩ marĩ marikabu-inĩ; maathiiaga wonjoria kũu maria-inĩ manene.
Those who set sail in ships, crossing the seas to earn their living,
24 Nĩmoonire mawĩko ma Jehova, makĩona ciĩko ciake cia magegania kũu kũriku.
they have seen the Lord's incredible power at work—the wonderful things he did in the deepest oceans.
25 Nĩgũkorwo aaririe, akĩarahũra kĩhuhũkanio kĩrĩa gĩatũmire iria rĩgĩe na makũmbĩ.
He only had to speak to cause a stormy wind that stirred up towering waves,
26 Marikabu igĩikanio na igũrũ, na igĩcooka igĩikanio na kũu thĩ kũrĩa kũriku; andũ acio magĩkua ngoro nĩ ũndũ marĩ ũgwati-inĩ mũnene.
lifting the ships high in the air and then plunging them down. The sailors were so terrified that their courage melted away.
27 Makĩagaga na magĩtũgũũga ta andũ arĩĩu; ũũgĩ wao wothe nĩwakinyĩte mũthia.
They staggered around, falling from side to side like drunks—all their seamanship skills were useless.
28 Hĩndĩ ĩyo magĩkaĩra Jehova marĩ thĩĩna-inĩ, nake akĩmahonokia kuuma mĩnyamaro-inĩ.
Then they cried out to the Lord to help them in their troubles, and he saved them from their suffering.
29 Nake akĩhooreria kĩhuhũkanio kĩu kĩnene; namo makũmbĩ ma iria rĩu magĩkirio ki.
He calmed the storm, the waves were quiet.
30 Nao magĩkena nĩ iria rĩu kũhoorera, nake akĩmakinyia nginya gĩcukĩro-inĩ kĩa marikabu kĩrĩa merirĩirie gũkinya.
The sailors were so happy when it all calmed down, and he brought them to the harbor they wanted.
31 Nĩmagĩcookerie Jehova ngaatho nĩ ũndũ wa wendo wake ũrĩa ũtathiraga, na mawĩko make ma magegania marĩa eekĩire andũ.
Let them praise the Lord for his trustworthy love, and for all the wonderful things he does for people.
32 Nĩmamũtũũgĩrie kĩũngano-inĩ kĩa andũ, na mamũgooce marĩ kĩama-inĩ kĩa athuuri.
Let them say how wonderful he is in front of the whole congregation and the elders.
33 Aagarũrire kũrĩa kwarĩ njũũĩ gũgĩtuĩka werũ, nakuo kũrĩa kwarĩ ithima ciathereraga gũgĩtuĩka kũndũ kũngʼaru,
He dries up rivers and turns the land into a desert; the water springs stop flowing and the earth turns dry and dusty.
34 naguo bũrũri ũrĩa woimaga irio mũno akĩũtua werũ wa igata ũtaarĩ kĩndũ, tondũ wa waganu wa andũ arĩa maatũũraga kuo.
Fruitful ground becomes a salty wasteland because of the wickedness of those living there.
35 Aagarũrire kũrĩa kwarĩ werũ gũkĩgĩa tũria twa maaĩ, nakuo kũrĩa kwarĩ kũngʼaru agĩtũma gũkunũke ithima;
But he also turns around and makes pools of water in the desert, and makes water springs flow in a dry and dusty land.
36 nao andũ arĩa maarĩ ahũtu akĩmarehe kuo, nao magĩaka itũũra inene rĩa gũikara.
He brings hungry people to live there—a place they can build their cities.
37 Maarĩmire mĩgũnda na makĩhaanda mĩthabibũ, ĩrĩa yaciarire magetha maingĩ;
They sow their fields and plant their vineyards, producing a good harvest.
38 aamarathimire nao makĩingĩha mũno, na ndaarekire mahiũ mao manyiihe.
He takes care of them, and their numbers increase dramatically—their cattle too!
39 Mũigana wao ũgĩcooka ũkĩnyiiha, na makĩagithio hinya, nĩ kũhinyĩrĩrio, na kũnyariirĩka, o na kĩeha;
When they become few, brought low by oppression, misery, and sorrow,
40 we ũrĩa ũnyararithagia andũ arĩa marĩ igweta-rĩ, agĩtũma morũũre kũndũ gũtaarĩ njĩra.
He pours out his contempt on their leaders, making them wander, lost in the wilderness.
41 No rĩrĩ, nĩarutire andũ arĩa abatari mathĩĩna-inĩ, na andũ a nyũmba ciao akĩmaingĩhia o ta mahiũ.
But he lifts the poor out of their troubles, and makes their families as big as flocks.
42 Andũ arĩa arũngĩrĩru monaga ũguo magakena, no arĩa othe aaganu nĩgũkirio makiragio.
Those who live right will observe what is happening and be glad, but the wicked will be silenced.
43 Mũndũ o wothe mũũgĩ-rĩ, nĩarũmbũiye maũndũ macio, na ecũũranie ũhoro wa wendo mũnene wa Jehova.
Those who are wise will pay attention to all this, and thoughtfully reflect on the Lord's trustworthy love.
