Thaburi 118
1 Cookeriai Jehova ngaatho nĩgũkorwo nĩ mwega; wendo wake nĩ wa tene na tene.
Give thanks to YHWH, For [He is] good, for His kindness [is] for all time.
2 Andũ a Isiraeli nĩmoige atĩrĩ, “Wendo wake nĩ wa tene na tene.”
Now let Israel say, His kindness [is] for all time.
3 Nyũmba ya Harũni nĩyuuge atĩrĩ, “Wendo wake nĩ wa tene na tene.”
Now let the house of Aaron say, His kindness [is] for all time.
4 Andũ arĩa metigĩrĩte Jehova nĩmoige atĩrĩ, “Wendo wake nĩ wa tene na tene.”
Now let those fearing YHWH say, His kindness [is] for all time.
5 Ndakaĩire Jehova ndĩ mĩnyamaro-inĩ, nake akĩnjĩtĩka na akĩndeithũra.
I called YAH from the narrow place, YAH answered me in a broad place.
6 Jehova arĩ hamwe na niĩ; ndingĩĩtigĩra. Mũndũ-rĩ, nĩ atĩa angĩhota kũnjĩka?
YHWH [is] for me, I do not fear what man does to me.
7 Jehova arĩ hamwe na niĩ; nĩwe mũndeithia. Nĩngerorera thũ ciakwa ikĩhootwo.
YHWH [is] for me among my helpers, And I look on those hating me.
8 Nĩ kaba kũũrĩra harĩ Jehova, gũkĩra kwĩhoka mũndũ.
Better to take refuge in YHWH, Than to trust in man,
9 Nĩ kaba kũũrĩra harĩ Jehova, gũkĩra kwĩhoka anene.
Better to take refuge in YHWH, Than to trust in princes.
10 Ndarigiicĩirio nĩ ndũrĩrĩ ciothe, no tondũ wa kwĩhoka rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova, ngĩciananga.
All nations have surrounded me, In the Name of YHWH I surely cut them off.
11 Ciandigiicĩirie mĩena yothe, no tondũ wa kwĩhoka rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova, ngĩciananga.
They have surrounded me, Indeed, they have surrounded me, In the Name of YHWH I surely cut them off.
12 Ciathiũrũrũkĩirie na mĩena yothe ta njũkĩ, no ikĩhora narua o ta mwaki wa mĩigua; tondũ wa kwĩhoka rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova ngĩciananga.
They surrounded me as bees, They have been extinguished as a fire of thorns, In the Name of YHWH I surely cut them off.
13 Ndahatĩkĩtwo mũno nĩ thũ hakuhĩ ngwe, no Jehova akĩndeithia.
You have severely thrust me to fall, And YHWH has helped me.
14 Jehova nĩwe hinya wakwa na nĩwe ũtũmaga nyine; nake nĩatuĩkĩte ũhonokio wakwa.
YAH is my strength and song, And He is to me for salvation.
15 Mbugĩrĩrio ya gĩkeno na ya ũhootani ĩiyũrĩte hema-inĩ cia andũ arĩa athingu, atĩ: “Guoko kwa ũrĩo kwa Jehova nĩ gwĩkĩte maũndũ manene!
A voice of singing and salvation, [Is] in the tents of the righteous, The right hand of YHWH is doing valiantly.
16 Guoko kwa ũrĩo kwa Jehova nĩ kwambararie; guoko kwa ũrĩo kwa Jehova nĩ gwĩkĩte maũndũ manene!”
The right hand of YHWH is exalted, The right hand of YHWH is doing valiantly.
17 Niĩ gũkua ndigũkua, no nĩngũtũũra muoyo, ngʼanage ũrĩa Jehova ekĩte.
I do not die, but live, And recount the works of YAH,
18 Jehova nĩaherithĩtie mũno, no ndandekereirie ngue.
YAH has severely disciplined me, And has not given me up to death.
19 Hingũrĩrai ihingo cia ũthingu; nĩngũtoonya njookerie Jehova ngaatho.
Open gates of righteousness to me, I enter into them—I thank YAH.
20 Gĩkĩ nĩkĩo kĩhingo kĩa Jehova kĩrĩa andũ arĩa athingu mangĩtoonyera.
This [is] the gate to YHWH, The righteous enter into it.
21 Nĩ ngaatho ngũgũcookeria, nĩgũkorwo nĩwanjĩtĩkire; nĩũtuĩkĩte ũhonokio wakwa.
I thank You, for You have answered me, And are to me for salvation.
22 Ihiga rĩrĩa aaki maaregire nĩrĩo rĩtuĩkĩte ihiga inene rĩa koine;
A stone the builders refused Has become head of a corner.
23 Jehova nĩwe wĩkĩte ũndũ ũcio, naguo nĩ wa magegania tũkĩwona.
This has been from YHWH, It [is] wonderful in our eyes,
24 Mũthenya ũyũ nĩ Jehova ũtũmĩte ũgĩe; nĩtũcanjamũkei, tũkĩũkenere.
This [is] the day YHWH has made, We rejoice and are glad in it.
25 Wee Jehova, tũhonokie; Wee Jehova, tũma tũgaacĩre.
Ah, now, O YHWH, please save, Ah, now, O YHWH, please prosper.
26 Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa ũgũũka na rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova. Ithuĩ nĩtwamũrathima tũrĩ thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ya Jehova.
Blessed [is] He who is coming In the Name of YHWH, We blessed you from the house of YHWH,
27 Jehova nĩwe Mũrungu, na nĩatũmĩte ũtheri wake ũtwarĩre. Ambĩrĩriai gũkũngũiya, mũrĩ na mathĩgĩ moko, mũthiĩ nginya hĩa-inĩ cia kĩgongona.
God [is] YHWH, and He gives light to us, Direct the festal-sacrifice with cords, To the horns of the altar.
28 Wee nĩwe Mũrungu wakwa, nĩngũgũcookeria ngaatho; Wee nĩwe Ngai wakwa, nĩngũgũtũũgĩria.
You [are] my God, and I confess You, My God, I exalt You.
29 Cookeriai Jehova ngaatho, nĩgũkorwo we nĩ mwega; wendo wake nĩ wa tene na tene.
Give thanks to YHWH, For [He is] good, for His kindness [is] for all time!
