Thaburi 107
1 Cookeriai Jehova ngaatho, nĩgũkorwo nĩ mwega; wendo wake ũtũũraga tene na tene.
“Give thanks to YHWH, For [He is] good, for His kindness [is] for all time”:
2 Andũ arĩa makũũrĩtwo nĩ Jehova nĩmakiuge ũguo: o acio akũũrĩte kuuma guoko-inĩ gwa thũ,
Let the redeemed of YHWH say [so], Whom He redeemed from the hand of an adversary.
3 o acio aacookanĩrĩirie amarutĩte mabũrũri-inĩ, kuuma mwena wa irathĩro na wa ithũĩro, na kuuma mwena wa gathigathini na wa gũthini.
And has gathered them from the lands, From east and from west, From north, and from the sea.
4 Amwe morũũrire werũ-inĩ ũtarĩ kĩndũ, maagĩte njĩra ya kũmakinyia itũũra inene kũrĩa mangĩatũũrire.
They wandered in a wilderness, in a desert by the way, They have not found a city of habitation.
5 Maarĩ ahũtu na makanyoota, na makaaga mwĩhoko thĩinĩ wao.
Hungry—indeed—thirsty, Their soul becomes feeble in them,
6 Nao magĩkaĩra Jehova marĩ mĩnyamaro-inĩ, nake akĩmahonokia kuuma thĩĩna-inĩ.
And they cry to YHWH in their adversity, He delivers them from their distress,
7 Aamagereirie njĩra nũngarũ, nginya magĩkinya itũũra inene kũrĩa mangĩonire gwa gũtũũra.
And causes them to tread in a right way, To go to a city of habitation.
8 Nĩmagĩcookerie Jehova ngaatho nĩ ũndũ wa wendo wake ũrĩa ũtathiraga, na mawĩko make ma magegania marĩa eekĩire andũ,
They confess to YHWH His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men.
9 nĩgũkorwo nĩwe ũnyootoraga andũ arĩa anyootu, na akahũũnia arĩa ahũtu na maũndũ mega.
For He has satisfied a longing soul, And has filled a hungry soul [with] goodness.
10 Amwe maaikarĩte nduma-inĩ o na nduma-inĩ nene mũno, makĩnyamarĩka marĩ ohe na mĩnyororo ya kĩgera,
Inhabitants of dark places and death-shade, Prisoners of affliction and of iron,
11 nĩgũkorwo nĩmaremeire ciugo cia Mũrungu, o na makĩagĩra kĩrĩra kĩa Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno bata.
Because they changed the saying of God, And despised the counsel of the Most High.
12 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩmarutithia wĩra wa hinya; nao makĩhĩngwo na gũkĩaga wa kũmateithia.
And He humbles their heart with labor, They have been feeble, and there is no helper.
13 Hĩndĩ ĩyo magĩkaĩra Jehova marĩ thĩĩna-inĩ, nake akĩmahonokia kuuma mĩnyamaro-inĩ.
And they cry to YHWH in their adversity, He saves them from their distresses.
14 Nake aamarutire nduma-inĩ, akĩmaruta kũu nduma-inĩ nene mũno, na agĩtuanga mĩnyororo ĩrĩa moohetwo nayo.
He brings them out from the dark place, And death-shade, And He draws away their bands.
15 Nĩmagĩcookerie Jehova ngaatho nĩ ũndũ wa wendo wake ũrĩa ũtathiraga, na mawĩko make ma magegania marĩa eekĩire andũ,
They confess to YHWH His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men.
16 nĩgũkorwo nĩoinangaga ihingo cia gĩcango na akoinanga mĩgĩĩko ya kĩgera.
For He has broken doors of bronze, And He has cut 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, by means of their transgression, And by their iniquities, afflict themselves.
18 Magĩtuĩka a kũira ngoro mona irio o ciothe, nao magĩkuhĩrĩria ihingo cia gĩkuũ.
Their soul detests all food, And they come near to the gates of death,
19 Hĩndĩ ĩyo magĩkaĩra Jehova marĩ mĩnyamaro-inĩ, nake akĩmaruta thĩĩna-inĩ.
And cry to YHWH in their adversity, He saves them from their distresses,
20 Aatũmire kiugo gĩake akĩmahonia; aamateithũrire kuuma mbĩrĩra-inĩ.
He sends His word and heals them, And delivers [them] from their destructions.
21 Nĩmagĩcookerie Jehova ngaatho nĩ ũndũ wa wendo wake ũrĩa ũtathiraga, na mawĩko make ma magegania marĩa eekĩire andũ.
They confess to YHWH His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men,
22 Nĩmakĩrute igongona rĩa gũcookia ngaatho, na mamenyithanie mawĩko make makĩinaga nyĩmbo cia gĩkeno.
And they sacrifice sacrifices of thanksgiving, And recount His works with singing.
23 Angĩ maagereire iria-inĩ marĩ marikabu-inĩ; maathiiaga wonjoria kũu maria-inĩ manene.
Those going down [to] the sea in ships, Doing business in many waters,
24 Nĩmoonire mawĩko ma Jehova, makĩona ciĩko ciake cia magegania kũu kũriku.
They have seen the works of YHWH, And His wonders in the deep.
25 Nĩgũkorwo aaririe, akĩarahũra kĩhuhũkanio kĩrĩa gĩatũmire iria rĩgĩe na makũmbĩ.
And He commands, and appoints a storm, And it lifts up its billows,
26 Marikabu igĩikanio na igũrũ, na igĩcooka igĩikanio na kũu thĩ kũrĩa kũriku; andũ acio magĩkua ngoro nĩ ũndũ marĩ ũgwati-inĩ mũnene.
They go up [to] the heavens, they go down [to] the depths, Their soul is melted in evil.
27 Makĩagaga na magĩtũgũũga ta andũ arĩĩu; ũũgĩ wao wothe nĩwakinyĩte mũthia.
They reel to and fro, and move as a drunkard, And all their wisdom is swallowed up.
28 Hĩndĩ ĩyo magĩkaĩra Jehova marĩ thĩĩna-inĩ, nake akĩmahonokia kuuma mĩnyamaro-inĩ.
And they cry to YHWH in their adversity, And He brings them out from their distresses.
29 Nake akĩhooreria kĩhuhũkanio kĩu kĩnene; namo makũmbĩ ma iria rĩu magĩkirio ki.
He calms a whirlwind, And their billows are hushed.
30 Nao magĩkena nĩ iria rĩu kũhoorera, nake akĩmakinyia nginya gĩcukĩro-inĩ kĩa marikabu kĩrĩa merirĩirie gũkinya.
And they rejoice because they are quiet, And He leads them to the haven of their desire.
31 Nĩmagĩcookerie Jehova ngaatho nĩ ũndũ wa wendo wake ũrĩa ũtathiraga, na mawĩko make ma magegania marĩa eekĩire andũ.
They confess to YHWH His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men,
32 Nĩmamũtũũgĩrie kĩũngano-inĩ kĩa andũ, na mamũgooce marĩ kĩama-inĩ kĩa athuuri.
And they exalt Him in [the] assembly of [the] people, And praise Him in [the] seat of [the] elderly.
33 Aagarũrire kũrĩa kwarĩ njũũĩ gũgĩtuĩka werũ, nakuo kũrĩa kwarĩ ithima ciathereraga gũgĩtuĩka kũndũ kũngʼaru,
He makes rivers become a wilderness, And fountains of waters become dry land.
34 naguo bũrũri ũrĩa woimaga irio mũno akĩũtua werũ wa igata ũtaarĩ kĩndũ, tondũ wa waganu wa andũ arĩa maatũũraga kuo.
A fruitful land becomes a barren place, For the wickedness of its inhabitants.
35 Aagarũrire kũrĩa kwarĩ werũ gũkĩgĩa tũria twa maaĩ, nakuo kũrĩa kwarĩ kũngʼaru agĩtũma gũkunũke ithima;
He makes a wilderness become a pool of water, And a dry land become fountains of waters.
36 nao andũ arĩa maarĩ ahũtu akĩmarehe kuo, nao magĩaka itũũra inene rĩa gũikara.
And He causes the hungry to dwell there, And they prepare a city of habitation.
37 Maarĩmire mĩgũnda na makĩhaanda mĩthabibũ, ĩrĩa yaciarire magetha maingĩ;
And they sow fields, and plant vineyards, And they make fruits of increase.
38 aamarathimire nao makĩingĩha mũno, na ndaarekire mahiũ mao manyiihe.
And He blesses them, and they multiply exceedingly, And He does not diminish their livestock.
39 Mũigana wao ũgĩcooka ũkĩnyiiha, na makĩagithio hinya, nĩ kũhinyĩrĩrio, na kũnyariirĩka, o na kĩeha;
And they are diminished, and bow down, By restraint, evil, and sorrow.
40 we ũrĩa ũnyararithagia andũ arĩa marĩ igweta-rĩ, agĩtũma morũũre kũndũ gũtaarĩ njĩra.
He is pouring contempt on nobles, And causes them to wander in vacancy—no way.
41 No rĩrĩ, nĩarutire andũ arĩa abatari mathĩĩna-inĩ, na andũ a nyũmba ciao akĩmaingĩhia o ta mahiũ.
And sets the needy on high from affliction, And places families as a flock.
42 Andũ arĩa arũngĩrĩru monaga ũguo magakena, no arĩa othe aaganu nĩgũkirio makiragio.
The upright see and rejoice, And all perversity has shut her mouth.
43 Mũndũ o wothe mũũgĩ-rĩ, nĩarũmbũiye maũndũ macio, na ecũũranie ũhoro wa wendo mũnene wa Jehova.
Who [is] wise, and observes these? They understand the kind acts of YHWH!
