Thaburi 115
1 Ti ithuĩ, Wee Jehova, ti ithuĩ twagĩrĩire kũgoocwo, no goocithia rĩĩtwa rĩaku, tondũ wa wendo na wĩhokeku waku.
Not to us, Yahweh, not to us, but to your name bring honor, for your covenant faithfulness and for your trustworthiness.
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 whatever he pleases.
4 No mĩhianano yao nĩ betha na thahabu, wĩra ũthondeketwo na moko ma andũ.
The nations' idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
5 Nĩĩrĩ tũnua, no ndĩaragia, nĩĩrĩ maitho, no ndĩonaga;
Those idols have mouths, but they do not speak; they have eyes, but they do not see;
6 nĩĩrĩ matũ, no ndĩiguaga, nĩĩrĩ na maniũrũ, no ndĩiguaga mũnungo;
they have ears, but they do not hear; they have noses, but they do not smell.
7 nĩĩrĩ moko, no ndĩngĩhambata kĩndũ, nĩĩrĩ magũrũ, no ndĩngĩĩtwara; o na nĩĩrĩ mĩmero, no ndĩngĩnyuria.
Those idols have hands, but do not feel; they have feet, but they cannot walk; nor do they speak from their mouths.
8 Andũ arĩa mamĩthondekaga makaahaana o tayo, na noguo arĩa othe mamĩĩhokaga makaahaana.
Those who make them are like them, as is everyone who trusts in them.
9 Wee nyũmba ya Isiraeli, wĩhokage Jehova: we nĩwe ũteithio wao o na ngo yao.
Israel, trust in Yahweh; he is your help and shield.
10 Wee nyũmba ya Harũni, wĩhokage Jehova: we nĩwe ũteithio wao o na ngo yao.
House of Aaron, trust in Yahweh; he is your help and shield.
11 Inyuĩ arĩa mũmwĩtigĩrĩte, mwĩhokagei Jehova: we nĩwe ũteithio wao na ngo yao.
You who honor Yahweh, trust in him; he is your help and shield.
12 Jehova nĩatũririkanĩte na nĩegũtũrathima: Nĩekũrathima nyũmba ya Isiraeli, nĩekũrathima nyũmba ya Harũni,
Yahweh takes notice of us and will bless us; he will bless the family of Israel; he will bless the family of Aaron.
13 nĩekũrathima arĩa metigĩrĩte Jehova, anini na anene o ũndũ ũmwe.
He will bless those who honor him, both young and old.
14 Jehova arotũma mũingĩhe, inyuĩ na ciana cianyu.
May Yahweh increase your numbers more and more, yours and your descendants'.
15 Mũrorathimwo nĩ Jehova, Mũmbi wa igũrũ na thĩ.
May you be blessed by Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.
16 Kũu igũrũ mũno nĩ kwa Jehova, no thĩ nĩamĩheanĩte kũrĩ andũ.
The heavens belong to Yahweh; but the earth he has given to mankind.
17 Andũ arĩa akuũ matigoocaga Jehova, acio maikũrũkaga kũu ũkiri-inĩ;
The dead do not praise Yahweh, nor do any who go down into silence;
18 nĩ ithuĩ tũrĩkumagia Jehova, kuuma rĩu nginya tene na tene. Goocai Jehova.
But we will bless Yahweh now and forevermore. Praise Yahweh.
