< Thaburi 114 >
1 Rĩrĩa Isiraeli moimire bũrũri wa Misiri, nyũmba ya Jakubu ĩkiuma kũrĩ andũ a rũthiomi rũngĩ-rĩ,
Alleluia. At the going forth of Israel from Egypt, of the house of Jacob from a barbarous people,
2 Juda gwatuĩkire handũ ha Ngai haamũre, na Isiraeli gũgĩtuĩka nĩkuo arĩathanaga.
Judea became his sanctuary, [and] Israel his dominion.
3 Iria rĩonire ũguo rĩkĩũra, naruo Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani rũgĩcooka na thuutha;
The sea saw and fled: Jordan was turned back.
4 Irĩma igĩtũhatũũha ta ndũrũme, natuo tũrĩma tũgĩtũhatũũha ta tũgondu.
The mountains skipped like rams, and the hills like lambs.
5 Kaĩ wonire atĩa, wee iria, nĩguo ũre, nawe Jorodani, tondũ wacookire na thuutha?
What [ailed] you, O sea, that you fled? and you Jordan, that you were turned back?
6 Inyuĩ irĩma, muonete kĩ, nĩguo mũtũhatũũhe ta ndũrũme, na inyuĩ tũrĩma, nĩguo mũtũhatũũhe ta tũgondu?
[You] mountains, that you skipped like rams, and [you] hills, like lambs?
7 Wee thĩ, ta kĩinaine ũrĩ mbere ya Mwathani, ũrĩ hau mbere ya Ngai ũcio wa Jakubu,
The earth trembled at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;
8 o we ũcio wagarũrire rwaro rwa ihiga rũgĩtuĩka karia ka maaĩ, narĩo ihiga rĩũmũ rĩgĩtuĩka ithima cia maaĩ.
who turned the rock into pools of water, and the flint into fountains of water.
