Thaburi 107
1 Cookeriai Jehova ngaatho, nĩgũkorwo nĩ mwega; wendo wake ũtũũraga tene na tene.
'Give ye thanks to Jehovah, For good, for to the age [is] His kindness:'
2 Andũ arĩa makũũrĩtwo nĩ Jehova nĩmakiuge ũguo: o acio akũũrĩte kuuma guoko-inĩ gwa thũ,
Let the redeemed of Jehovah say, 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 from the lands hath gathered them, 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, A city of habitation they have not found.
5 Maarĩ ahũtu na makanyoota, na makaaga mwĩhoko thĩinĩ wao.
Hungry — yea — thirsty, Their soul in them becometh feeble,
6 Nao magĩkaĩra Jehova marĩ mĩnyamaro-inĩ, nake akĩmahonokia kuuma thĩĩna-inĩ.
And they cry unto Jehovah in their adversity, From their distress He delivereth them,
7 Aamagereirie njĩra nũngarũ, nginya magĩkinya itũũra inene kũrĩa mangĩonire gwa gũtũũra.
And causeth them to tread in a right way, To go unto 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 Jehovah 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 hath satisfied a longing soul, And a hungry soul hath filled [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 the counsel of the Most High despised.
12 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩmarutithia wĩra wa hinya; nao makĩhĩngwo na gũkĩaga wa kũmateithia.
And He humbleth with labour their heart, 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 unto Jehovah in their adversity, From their distresses He saveth them.
14 Nake aamarutire nduma-inĩ, akĩmaruta kũu nduma-inĩ nene mũno, na agĩtuanga mĩnyororo ĩrĩa moohetwo nayo.
He bringeth them out from the dark place, And death-shade, And their bands He draweth away.
15 Nĩmagĩcookerie Jehova ngaatho nĩ ũndũ wa wendo wake ũrĩa ũtathiraga, na mawĩko make ma magegania marĩa eekĩire andũ,
They confess to Jehovah His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men.
16 nĩgũkorwo nĩoinangaga ihingo cia gĩcango na akoinanga mĩgĩĩko ya kĩgera.
For He hath broken doors of brass, And bars of iron He hath cut.
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.
All food doth their soul abominate, And they come nigh unto the gates of death,
19 Hĩndĩ ĩyo magĩkaĩra Jehova marĩ mĩnyamaro-inĩ, nake akĩmaruta thĩĩna-inĩ.
And cry unto Jehovah in their adversity, From their distresses He saveth them,
20 Aatũmire kiugo gĩake akĩmahonia; aamateithũrire kuuma mbĩrĩra-inĩ.
He sendeth His word and healeth them, And delivereth 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 Jehovah 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 Jehovah, And His wonders in the deep.
25 Nĩgũkorwo aaririe, akĩarahũra kĩhuhũkanio kĩrĩa gĩatũmire iria rĩgĩe na makũmbĩ.
And He saith, and appointeth a tempest, And it lifteth 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 in evil is melted.
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 Jehovah in their adversity, And from their distresses He bringeth them out.
29 Nake akĩhooreria kĩhuhũkanio kĩu kĩnene; namo makũmbĩ ma iria rĩu magĩkirio ki.
He establisheth a whirlwind to a calm, And hushed are their billows.
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 leadeth 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 Jehovah 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 in the seat of the elders praise Him.
33 Aagarũrire kũrĩa kwarĩ njũũĩ gũgĩtuĩka werũ, nakuo kũrĩa kwarĩ ithima ciathereraga gũgĩtuĩka kũndũ kũngʼaru,
He maketh 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 becometh 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 maketh 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 causeth 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 blesseth them, and they multiply exceedingly, And their cattle He doth not diminish.
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 upon nobles, And causeth 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 setteth on high the needy from affliction, And placeth families as a flock.
42 Andũ arĩa arũngĩrĩru monaga ũguo magakena, no arĩa othe aaganu nĩgũkirio makiragio.
The upright do see and rejoice, And all perversity hath shut her mouth.
43 Mũndũ o wothe mũũgĩ-rĩ, nĩarũmbũiye maũndũ macio, na ecũũranie ũhoro wa wendo mũnene wa Jehova.
Who [is] wise, and observeth these? They understand the kind acts of Jehovah!
