Thaburi 115
1 Ti ithuĩ, Wee Jehova, ti ithuĩ twagĩrĩire kũgoocwo, no goocithia rĩĩtwa rĩaku, tondũ wa wendo na wĩhokeku waku.
Not to us, O Jehovah, not to us, but to thy name give glory. For thy loving kindness, and for thy truth's sake.
2 Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmaga ndũrĩrĩ ciũrie atĩrĩ, “Ngai wao akĩrĩ ha?”
Why should the nations say, Where is now their God?
3 Ngai witũ arĩ o igũrũ; we ekaga o ũrĩa endaga.
But our God is in the heavens. He has done whatever he pleased.
4 No mĩhianano yao nĩ betha na thahabu, wĩra ũthondeketwo na moko ma andũ.
Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
5 Nĩĩrĩ tũnua, no ndĩaragia, nĩĩrĩ maitho, no ndĩonaga;
They have mouths, but they speak not. They have eyes, but they see not.
6 nĩĩrĩ matũ, no ndĩiguaga, nĩĩrĩ na maniũrũ, no ndĩiguaga mũnungo;
They have ears, but they hear not. They have noses, but they smell not.
7 nĩĩrĩ moko, no ndĩngĩhambata kĩndũ, nĩĩrĩ magũrũ, no ndĩngĩĩtwara; o na nĩĩrĩ mĩmero, no ndĩngĩnyuria.
They have hands, but they handle not. They have feet, but they walk not, nor do they speak through their throat.
8 Andũ arĩa mamĩthondekaga makaahaana o tayo, na noguo arĩa othe mamĩĩhokaga makaahaana.
Those who make them shall be like them. Yea, everyone who trusts in them.
9 Wee nyũmba ya Isiraeli, wĩhokage Jehova: we nĩwe ũteithio wao o na ngo yao.
O Israel, trust thou in Jehovah. He is their help and their shield.
10 Wee nyũmba ya Harũni, wĩhokage Jehova: we nĩwe ũteithio wao o na ngo yao.
O house of Aaron, trust ye in Jehovah. He is their help and their shield.
11 Inyuĩ arĩa mũmwĩtigĩrĩte, mwĩhokagei Jehova: we nĩwe ũteithio wao na ngo yao.
Ye who fear Jehovah, trust in Jehovah. He is their help and their shield.
12 Jehova nĩatũririkanĩte na nĩegũtũrathima: Nĩekũrathima nyũmba ya Isiraeli, nĩekũrathima nyũmba ya Harũni,
Jehovah has been mindful of us. He will bless, he will bless the house of Israel. He will bless the house of Aaron.
13 nĩekũrathima arĩa metigĩrĩte Jehova, anini na anene o ũndũ ũmwe.
He will bless those who fear Jehovah, both small and great.
14 Jehova arotũma mũingĩhe, inyuĩ na ciana cianyu.
Jehovah increase you more and more, you and your sons.
15 Mũrorathimwo nĩ Jehova, Mũmbi wa igũrũ na thĩ.
Blessed are ye of Jehovah who made heaven and earth.
16 Kũu igũrũ mũno nĩ kwa Jehova, no thĩ nĩamĩheanĩte kũrĩ andũ.
The heavens are the heavens of Jehovah, but the earth he has given to the sons of men.
17 Andũ arĩa akuũ matigoocaga Jehova, acio maikũrũkaga kũu ũkiri-inĩ;
The dead do not praise Jehovah, nor any who go down into silence,
18 nĩ ithuĩ tũrĩkumagia Jehova, kuuma rĩu nginya tene na tene. Goocai Jehova.
but we will bless Jehovah from this time forth and for evermore. Praise ye Jehovah.
