Thaburi 118
1 Cookeriai Jehova ngaatho nĩgũkorwo nĩ mwega; wendo wake nĩ wa tene na tene.
Give thanks to Jehovah, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.
2 Andũ a Isiraeli nĩmoige atĩrĩ, “Wendo wake nĩ wa tene na tene.”
Let Israel now say that his loving kindness endures forever.
3 Nyũmba ya Harũni nĩyuuge atĩrĩ, “Wendo wake nĩ wa tene na tene.”
Let the house of Aaron now say that his loving kindness endures forever.
4 Andũ arĩa metigĩrĩte Jehova nĩmoige atĩrĩ, “Wendo wake nĩ wa tene na tene.”
Now let those who fear Jehovah say that his loving kindness endures forever.
5 Ndakaĩire Jehova ndĩ mĩnyamaro-inĩ, nake akĩnjĩtĩka na akĩndeithũra.
Out of my distress, I called on JAH. JAH answered me with freedom.
6 Jehova arĩ hamwe na niĩ; ndingĩĩtigĩra. Mũndũ-rĩ, nĩ atĩa angĩhota kũnjĩka?
Jehovah is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?
7 Jehova arĩ hamwe na niĩ; nĩwe mũndeithia. Nĩngerorera thũ ciakwa ikĩhootwo.
Jehovah is my helper; and I will look in triumph on those who hate me.
8 Nĩ kaba kũũrĩra harĩ Jehova, gũkĩra kwĩhoka mũndũ.
It is better to take refuge in Jehovah, than to put confidence in man.
9 Nĩ kaba kũũrĩra harĩ Jehova, gũkĩra kwĩhoka anene.
It is better to take refuge in Jehovah, than to put confidence in princes.
10 Ndarigiicĩirio nĩ ndũrĩrĩ ciothe, no tondũ wa kwĩhoka rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova, ngĩciananga.
All the nations surrounded me, but in the name of Jehovah, I cut them off.
11 Ciandigiicĩirie mĩena yothe, no tondũ wa kwĩhoka rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova, ngĩciananga.
They surrounded me, yes, they surrounded me. In the name of Jehovah I indeed 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 like bees. They blazed like a fire among thorns. In the name of Jehovah I cut them off.
13 Ndahatĩkĩtwo mũno nĩ thũ hakuhĩ ngwe, no Jehova akĩndeithia.
I was pushed hard, to make me fall, but Jehovah helped me.
14 Jehova nĩwe hinya wakwa na nĩwe ũtũmaga nyine; nake nĩatuĩkĩte ũhonokio wakwa.
JAH is my strength and my song, and he has become my 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!
The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous. "The right hand of Jehovah does valiantly.
16 Guoko kwa ũrĩo kwa Jehova nĩ kwambararie; guoko kwa ũrĩo kwa Jehova nĩ gwĩkĩte maũndũ manene!”
The right hand of Jehovah is exalted. The right hand of Jehovah does valiantly."
17 Niĩ gũkua ndigũkua, no nĩngũtũũra muoyo, ngʼanage ũrĩa Jehova ekĩte.
I will not die, but live, and declare the works of JAH.
18 Jehova nĩaherithĩtie mũno, no ndandekereirie ngue.
JAH has punished me severely, but he has not given me over to death.
19 Hingũrĩrai ihingo cia ũthingu; nĩngũtoonya njookerie Jehova ngaatho.
Open to me the gates of righteousness. I will enter into them and praise JAH.
20 Gĩkĩ nĩkĩo kĩhingo kĩa Jehova kĩrĩa andũ arĩa athingu mangĩtoonyera.
This is the gate of Jehovah; the righteous will enter into it.
21 Nĩ ngaatho ngũgũcookeria, nĩgũkorwo nĩwanjĩtĩkire; nĩũtuĩkĩte ũhonokio wakwa.
I will give thanks to you, for you have answered me, and have become my salvation.
22 Ihiga rĩrĩa aaki maaregire nĩrĩo rĩtuĩkĩte ihiga inene rĩa koine;
The stone which the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.
23 Jehova nĩwe wĩkĩte ũndũ ũcio, naguo nĩ wa magegania tũkĩwona.
This is Jehovah's doing. It is marvelous in our eyes.
24 Mũthenya ũyũ nĩ Jehova ũtũmĩte ũgĩe; nĩtũcanjamũkei, tũkĩũkenere.
This is the day that Jehovah has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.
25 Wee Jehova, tũhonokie; Wee Jehova, tũma tũgaacĩre.
Save us now, we beg you, Jehovah. Jehovah, we beg you, send prosperity now.
26 Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa ũgũũka na rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova. Ithuĩ nĩtwamũrathima tũrĩ thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ya Jehova.
Blessed is he who comes in the name of Jehovah. We have blessed you out of the house of Jehovah.
27 Jehova nĩwe Mũrungu, na nĩatũmĩte ũtheri wake ũtwarĩre. Ambĩrĩriai gũkũngũiya, mũrĩ na mathĩgĩ moko, mũthiĩ nginya hĩa-inĩ cia kĩgongona.
Jehovah is God, and he has given us light. Bind the sacrifice with cords, even to the horns of the altar.
28 Wee nĩwe Mũrungu wakwa, nĩngũgũcookeria ngaatho; Wee nĩwe Ngai wakwa, nĩngũgũtũũgĩria.
You are my God, and I will give thanks to you. You are my God, I will exalt you.
29 Cookeriai Jehova ngaatho, nĩgũkorwo we nĩ mwega; wendo wake nĩ wa tene na tene.
Oh give thanks to Jehovah, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.
