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 LORD, not to us, but to Your name be the glory, because of Your loving devotion, because of Your faithfulness.
2 Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmaga ndũrĩrĩ ciũrie atĩrĩ, “Ngai wao akĩrĩ ha?”
Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?”
3 Ngai witũ arĩ o igũrũ; we ekaga o ũrĩa endaga.
Our God is in heaven; He does as He pleases.
4 No mĩhianano yao nĩ betha na thahabu, wĩra ũthondeketwo na moko ma andũ.
Their idols are silver and gold, made by the hands of men.
5 Nĩĩrĩ tũnua, no ndĩaragia, nĩĩrĩ maitho, no ndĩonaga;
They have mouths, but cannot speak; they have eyes, but cannot see;
6 nĩĩrĩ matũ, no ndĩiguaga, nĩĩrĩ na maniũrũ, no ndĩiguaga mũnungo;
they have ears, but cannot hear; they have noses, but cannot smell;
7 nĩĩrĩ moko, no ndĩngĩhambata kĩndũ, nĩĩrĩ magũrũ, no ndĩngĩĩtwara; o na nĩĩrĩ mĩmero, no ndĩngĩnyuria.
they have hands, but cannot feel; they have feet, but cannot walk; they cannot even clear their throats.
8 Andũ arĩa mamĩthondekaga makaahaana o tayo, na noguo arĩa othe mamĩĩhokaga makaahaana.
Those who make them become like them, as do all who trust in them.
9 Wee nyũmba ya Isiraeli, wĩhokage Jehova: we nĩwe ũteithio wao o na ngo yao.
O Israel, trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield.
10 Wee nyũmba ya Harũni, wĩhokage Jehova: we nĩwe ũteithio wao o na ngo yao.
O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield.
11 Inyuĩ arĩa mũmwĩtigĩrĩte, mwĩhokagei Jehova: we nĩwe ũteithio wao na ngo yao.
You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield.
12 Jehova nĩatũririkanĩte na nĩegũtũrathima: Nĩekũrathima nyũmba ya Isiraeli, nĩekũrathima nyũmba ya Harũni,
The LORD is mindful of us; He will bless us. 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 the LORD— small and great alike.
14 Jehova arotũma mũingĩhe, inyuĩ na ciana cianyu.
May the LORD give you increase, both you and your children.
15 Mũrorathimwo nĩ Jehova, Mũmbi wa igũrũ na thĩ.
May you be blessed by the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
16 Kũu igũrũ mũno nĩ kwa Jehova, no thĩ nĩamĩheanĩte kũrĩ andũ.
The highest heavens belong to the LORD, but the earth He has given to mankind.
17 Andũ arĩa akuũ matigoocaga Jehova, acio maikũrũkaga kũu ũkiri-inĩ;
It is not the dead who praise the LORD, nor any who descend into silence.
18 nĩ ithuĩ tũrĩkumagia Jehova, kuuma rĩu nginya tene na tene. Goocai Jehova.
But it is we who will bless the LORD, both now and forevermore. Hallelujah!
