1 Cookeriai Jehova ngaatho, nĩgũkorwo nĩ mwega; wendo wake ũtũũraga tene na tene.
O give thanks to Yahweh—For he is good, For, age-abiding, is his lovingkindness.
2 Andũ arĩa makũũrĩtwo nĩ Jehova nĩmakiuge ũguo: o acio akũũrĩte kuuma guoko-inĩ gwa thũ,
Let the redeemed of Yahweh say, Whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the adversary;
3 o acio aacookanĩrĩirie amarutĩte mabũrũri-inĩ, kuuma mwena wa irathĩro na wa ithũĩro, na kuuma mwena wa gathigathini na wa gũthini.
And, out of the lands, hath gathered them—From the east and from the west, From the north and from the south.
4 Amwe morũũrire werũ-inĩ ũtarĩ kĩndũ, maagĩte njĩra ya kũmakinyia itũũra inene kũrĩa mangĩatũũrire.
They wandered about in the desert—in a waste, Way to a city to dwell in, found they none;
5 Maarĩ ahũtu na makanyoota, na makaaga mwĩhoko thĩinĩ wao.
Hungry—yea thirsty, their soul, within them, fainted:
6 Nao magĩkaĩra Jehova marĩ mĩnyamaro-inĩ, nake akĩmahonokia kuuma thĩĩna-inĩ.
Then made they outcry to Yahweh, in their peril, Out of their distresses, he rescued them;
7 Aamagereirie njĩra nũngarũ, nginya magĩkinya itũũra inene kũrĩa mangĩonire gwa gũtũũra.
And led them by a straight road, That they might journey to a city to dwell in.
8 Nĩmagĩcookerie Jehova ngaatho nĩ ũndũ wa wendo wake ũrĩa ũtathiraga, na mawĩko make ma magegania marĩa eekĩire andũ,
Let them give thanks to Yahweh for his lovingkindness, and for his wonderful dealings with the sons of men;
9 nĩgũkorwo nĩwe ũnyootoraga andũ arĩa anyootu, na akahũũnia arĩa ahũtu na maũndũ mega.
For he hath satisfied the longing soul, and, the famished soul, hath he filled with good.
10 Amwe maaikarĩte nduma-inĩ o na nduma-inĩ nene mũno, makĩnyamarĩka marĩ ohe na mĩnyororo ya kĩgera,
The dwellers in darkness and death-shade, bound with oppression and iron;
11 nĩgũkorwo nĩmaremeire ciugo cia Mũrungu, o na makĩagĩra kĩrĩra kĩa Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno bata.
Because they had rebelled against the sayings of GOD, —and, the counsel of the Most High, they had spurned;
12 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩmarutithia wĩra wa hinya; nao makĩhĩngwo na gũkĩaga wa kũmateithia.
And he bowed down, with labour, their heart, They staggered, with no one to help,
13 Hĩndĩ ĩyo magĩkaĩra Jehova marĩ thĩĩna-inĩ, nake akĩmahonokia kuuma mĩnyamaro-inĩ.
Then made they outcry to Yahweh in their peril, Out of their distresses, he saved them;
14 Nake aamarutire nduma-inĩ, akĩmaruta kũu nduma-inĩ nene mũno, na agĩtuanga mĩnyororo ĩrĩa moohetwo nayo.
He brought them forth out of darkness and death-shade, and, their fetters, he tare off.
15 Nĩmagĩcookerie Jehova ngaatho nĩ ũndũ wa wendo wake ũrĩa ũtathiraga, na mawĩko make ma magegania marĩa eekĩire andũ,
Let them give thanks to Yahweh for his lovingkindness, and for his wonderful dealings with the sons of men!
16 nĩgũkorwo nĩoinangaga ihingo cia gĩcango na akoinanga mĩgĩĩko ya kĩgera.
For he brake in pieces the doors of bronze, And, the bars of iron, he hewed asunder.
17 Amwe maatuĩkire andũ akĩĩgu nĩ ũndũ wa mĩthiĩre yao ya ũremi, o na nĩ ũndũ wa waganu wao magĩtuĩka a gũthĩĩnĩka.
The perverse, by reason of their transgression, and on account of their iniquities, are afflicted;
18 Magĩtuĩka a kũira ngoro mona irio o ciothe, nao magĩkuhĩrĩria ihingo cia gĩkuũ.
All manner of food, their soul abhorreth, and so they draw near unto the gates of death,
19 Hĩndĩ ĩyo magĩkaĩra Jehova marĩ mĩnyamaro-inĩ, nake akĩmaruta thĩĩna-inĩ.
Then make they outcry to Yahweh in their peril, and, out of their distresses, he saveth them.
20 Aatũmire kiugo gĩake akĩmahonia; aamateithũrire kuuma mbĩrĩra-inĩ.
He sendeth his word, and healeth them, and delivereth them from their graves.
21 Nĩmagĩcookerie Jehova ngaatho nĩ ũndũ wa wendo wake ũrĩa ũtathiraga, na mawĩko make ma magegania marĩa eekĩire andũ.
Let them give thanks to Yahweh for his lovingkindness, and for his wonderful dealings with the sons of men!
22 Nĩmakĩrute igongona rĩa gũcookia ngaatho, na mamenyithanie mawĩko make makĩinaga nyĩmbo cia gĩkeno.
Yea let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and recount his works with a shout.
23 Angĩ maagereire iria-inĩ marĩ marikabu-inĩ; maathiiaga wonjoria kũu maria-inĩ manene.
Men who go down to the sea, in ships, doing business through mighty waters;
24 Nĩmoonire mawĩko ma Jehova, makĩona ciĩko ciake cia magegania kũu kũriku.
They, see the works of Yahweh, and his wonders in the deep;
25 Nĩgũkorwo aaririe, akĩarahũra kĩhuhũkanio kĩrĩa gĩatũmire iria rĩgĩe na makũmbĩ.
And he speaketh, and there ariseth a tempestuous wind, which lifteth on high its rolling waves;
26 Marikabu igĩikanio na igũrũ, na igĩcooka igĩikanio na kũu thĩ kũrĩa kũriku; andũ acio magĩkua ngoro nĩ ũndũ marĩ ũgwati-inĩ mũnene.
They mount the heavens, they descend the roaring deeps, their soul, by trouble, dissolveth;
27 Makĩagaga na magĩtũgũũga ta andũ arĩĩu; ũũgĩ wao wothe nĩwakinyĩte mũthia.
They reel and stagger, like a drunken man, and, all their wisdom, is engulfed,
28 Hĩndĩ ĩyo magĩkaĩra Jehova marĩ thĩĩna-inĩ, nake akĩmahonokia kuuma mĩnyamaro-inĩ.
Then make they outcry to Yahweh in their peril, and, out of their distresses, he bringeth them forth,
29 Nake akĩhooreria kĩhuhũkanio kĩu kĩnene; namo makũmbĩ ma iria rĩu magĩkirio ki.
He calmeth the storm to a whisper, and silent are their rolling waves:
30 Nao magĩkena nĩ iria rĩu kũhoorera, nake akĩmakinyia nginya gĩcukĩro-inĩ kĩa marikabu kĩrĩa merirĩirie gũkinya.
Then are they glad, because they are hushed, And he guideth them unto their desired haven.
31 Nĩmagĩcookerie Jehova ngaatho nĩ ũndũ wa wendo wake ũrĩa ũtathiraga, na mawĩko make ma magegania marĩa eekĩire andũ.
Let them give thanks to Yahweh for his lovingkindness, and for his wonderful dealings with the sons of men!
32 Nĩmamũtũũgĩrie kĩũngano-inĩ kĩa andũ, na mamũgooce marĩ kĩama-inĩ kĩa athuuri.
Yea let them extol him in the convocation of the people, and, in the seated company of elders, let them praise him.
33 Aagarũrire kũrĩa kwarĩ njũũĩ gũgĩtuĩka werũ, nakuo kũrĩa kwarĩ ithima ciathereraga gũgĩtuĩka kũndũ kũngʼaru,
He turneth Rivers into a desert, and, 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.
A Land of Fruit, into a waste of salt, For the wickedness of them who dwell therein.
35 Aagarũrire kũrĩa kwarĩ werũ gũkĩgĩa tũria twa maaĩ, nakuo kũrĩa kwarĩ kũngʼaru agĩtũma gũkunũke ithima;
He turneth A Desert, into a pool of water, and, A Parched Land into springs of water;
36 nao andũ arĩa maarĩ ahũtu akĩmarehe kuo, nao magĩaka itũũra inene rĩa gũikara.
And hath caused the famished to dwell there, And they have built them a city to dwell in;
37 Maarĩmire mĩgũnda na makĩhaanda mĩthabibũ, ĩrĩa yaciarire magetha maingĩ;
And have sown fields, and planted vineyards, and made them fruits of increase:
38 aamarathimire nao makĩingĩha mũno, na ndaarekire mahiũ mao manyiihe.
Thus hath he blessed them, and they have multiplied greatly, And, their cattle, he maketh not few.
39 Mũigana wao ũgĩcooka ũkĩnyiiha, na makĩagithio hinya, nĩ kũhinyĩrĩrio, na kũnyariirĩka, o na kĩeha;
So have they become few and been brought low, By oppression, misfortune, and sorrow;
40 we ũrĩa ũnyararithagia andũ arĩa marĩ igweta-rĩ, agĩtũma morũũre kũndũ gũtaarĩ njĩra.
He poureth contempt upon nobles, and causeth them to wander in a pathless waste;
41 No rĩrĩ, nĩarutire andũ arĩa abatari mathĩĩna-inĩ, na andũ a nyũmba ciao akĩmaingĩhia o ta mahiũ.
But he hath set the needy on high from affliction, and made families, like a flock: —
42 Andũ arĩa arũngĩrĩru monaga ũguo magakena, no arĩa othe aaganu nĩgũkirio makiragio.
The upright seeth and is glad, And, all perverseness, hath closed her mouth.
43 Mũndũ o wothe mũũgĩ-rĩ, nĩarũmbũiye maũndũ macio, na ecũũranie ũhoro wa wendo mũnene wa Jehova.
Who is wise? then let him observe these things! and diligently consider the lovingkindness of Yahweh.
