1 Cookeriai Jehova ngaatho nĩgũkorwo nĩ mwega; wendo wake nĩ wa tene na tene.
Give ye thanks to Yahweh—For he is good, For, age-abiding, is his lovingkindness.
2 Andũ a Isiraeli nĩmoige atĩrĩ, “Wendo wake nĩ wa tene na tene.”
I pray you! let Israel, say, For, age-abiding, is his lovingkindness.
3 Nyũmba ya Harũni nĩyuuge atĩrĩ, “Wendo wake nĩ wa tene na tene.”
I pray you! let the house of Aaron, say, For, age-abiding, is his lovingkindness.
4 Andũ arĩa metigĩrĩte Jehova nĩmoige atĩrĩ, “Wendo wake nĩ wa tene na tene.”
I pray you! let them who revere Yahweh, say, For, age-abiding, is his lovingkindness.
5 Ndakaĩire Jehova ndĩ mĩnyamaro-inĩ, nake akĩnjĩtĩka na akĩndeithũra.
Out of a strait, called I on Yah, He answered me with enlargement.
6 Jehova arĩ hamwe na niĩ; ndingĩĩtigĩra. Mũndũ-rĩ, nĩ atĩa angĩhota kũnjĩka?
Yahweh, is on my side, I will not fear, What can man, do unto me?
7 Jehova arĩ hamwe na niĩ; nĩwe mũndeithia. Nĩngerorera thũ ciakwa ikĩhootwo.
Yahweh, is on my side, with them who help me, I, therefore shall gaze upon them who hate me.
8 Nĩ kaba kũũrĩra harĩ Jehova, gũkĩra kwĩhoka mũndũ.
It is, better to seek refuge in Yahweh, than to put confidence in man:
9 Nĩ kaba kũũrĩra harĩ Jehova, gũkĩra kwĩhoka anene.
It is, better to seek refuge in Yahweh, than to put confidence in nobles.
10 Ndarigiicĩirio nĩ ndũrĩrĩ ciothe, no tondũ wa kwĩhoka rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova, ngĩciananga.
All nations, have compassed me about, In the Name of Yahweh, surely I will make them be circumcised;
11 Ciandigiicĩirie mĩena yothe, no tondũ wa kwĩhoka rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova, ngĩciananga.
They have compassed me about—yea compassed me about, In the Name of Yahweh, surely I will make them be circumcised;
12 Ciathiũrũrũkĩirie na mĩena yothe ta njũkĩ, no ikĩhora narua o ta mwaki wa mĩigua; tondũ wa kwĩhoka rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova ngĩciananga.
They have compassed me about like wax bees, they have blazed up like the fire of thorns, In the Name of Yahweh, surely I will make them be circumcised.
13 Ndahatĩkĩtwo mũno nĩ thũ hakuhĩ ngwe, no Jehova akĩndeithia.
Thou didst, thrust sore, at me that I might fall, But, Yahweh, hath helped me.
14 Jehova nĩwe hinya wakwa na nĩwe ũtũmaga nyine; nake nĩatuĩkĩte ũhonokio wakwa.
My might and melody, is Yah, and he hath become mine by 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 shouting and salvation, is in the tents of the righteous, The right hand of Yahweh, is doing valiantly:
16 Guoko kwa ũrĩo kwa Jehova nĩ kwambararie; guoko kwa ũrĩo kwa Jehova nĩ gwĩkĩte maũndũ manene!”
The right hand of Yahweh, is exalted, The right hand of Yahweh, is doing valiantly.
17 Niĩ gũkua ndigũkua, no nĩngũtũũra muoyo, ngʼanage ũrĩa Jehova ekĩte.
I shall not die, but live, That I may recount the doings of Yah.
18 Jehova nĩaherithĩtie mũno, no ndandekereirie ngue.
Yah, chastened me sore, But, unto death, did not deliver me.
19 Hingũrĩrai ihingo cia ũthingu; nĩngũtoonya njookerie Jehova ngaatho.
Open to me the gates of righteousness, I will enter therein, I will give thanks unto Yah.
20 Gĩkĩ nĩkĩo kĩhingo kĩa Jehova kĩrĩa andũ arĩa athingu mangĩtoonyera.
This, is the gate for Yahweh, Such as are righteous, shall enter therein.
21 Nĩ ngaatho ngũgũcookeria, nĩgũkorwo nĩwanjĩtĩkire; nĩũtuĩkĩte ũhonokio wakwa.
I will thank thee, because thou hast answered me, And hast become mine, by salvation.
22 Ihiga rĩrĩa aaki maaregire nĩrĩo rĩtuĩkĩte ihiga inene rĩa koine;
A stone the builders refused, hath become the head of the corner:
23 Jehova nĩwe wĩkĩte ũndũ ũcio, naguo nĩ wa magegania tũkĩwona.
From Yahweh, hath this come to pass, The same, is marvellous in our eyes.
24 Mũthenya ũyũ nĩ Jehova ũtũmĩte ũgĩe; nĩtũcanjamũkei, tũkĩũkenere.
This is the day, which Yahweh hath made, We will exult, and be glad therein.
25 Wee Jehova, tũhonokie; Wee Jehova, tũma tũgaacĩre.
Ah now, Yahweh, do save, we beseech thee, Ah now, Yahweh, do send success, we beseech thee!
26 Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa ũgũũka na rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova. Ithuĩ nĩtwamũrathima tũrĩ thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ya Jehova.
Blessed be he that entereth, In the Name of Yahweh, we have blessed you, out of the house of Yahweh.
27 Jehova nĩwe Mũrungu, na nĩatũmĩte ũtheri wake ũtwarĩre. Ambĩrĩriai gũkũngũiya, mũrĩ na mathĩgĩ moko, mũthiĩ nginya hĩa-inĩ cia kĩgongona.
Yahweh is GOD, and hath shed on us light, —Bind ye the festal sacrifice with cords, Up to the horns of the altar.
28 Wee nĩwe Mũrungu wakwa, nĩngũgũcookeria ngaatho; Wee nĩwe Ngai wakwa, nĩngũgũtũũgĩria.
My GOD, thou art, and I will thank thee, —My Elohim, I will exalt thee.
29 Cookeriai Jehova ngaatho, nĩgũkorwo we nĩ mwega; wendo wake nĩ wa tene na tene.
Give ye thanks to Yahweh—For he is good, For, age-abiding, is his lovingkindness.
