Thaburi 124

1 Thaburi ya Daudi Korwo Jehova ndaakoretwo arĩ mwena witũ; Isiraeli nĩmakiuge ũguo:

If it had not been that the Lord was with us, let Israel now say:

2 Korwo Jehova ndaarĩ mwena witũ rĩrĩa andũ maatũtharĩkĩire-rĩ,

If it had not been that the Lord was with us, When men rose up against us,

3 nĩmangĩatũmeririe tũrĩ muoyo; rĩrĩa marakara mao maatũrĩrĩmbũkĩire-rĩ,

Perhaps they had swallowed us up alive. When their fury was enkindled against us,

4 mũiyũro wa maaĩ nĩũngĩatũhubanĩirie, tũhumbwo nĩ nditi ya maaĩ macio;

Perhaps the waters had swallowed us up.

5 maaĩ macio maathereraga na hinya mũno nĩmangĩatũthereririe.

Our soul hath passed through a torrent: perhaps our soul had passed through a water insupportable.

6 Jehova arogoocwo, o we ũtaatũrekereirie tũtambuurangwo nĩ magego mao.

Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us to be a prey to their teeth.

7 Ithuĩ tũhonokete ta nyoni ĩhonokete mũtego-inĩ wa mũmĩtegi; mũtego nĩunangĩtwo, na ithuĩ nĩtũhonokete.

Our soul hath been delivered as a sparrow out of the snare of the followers. The snare is broken, and we are delivered.

8 Ũteithio witũ uumaga harĩ Jehova, o we Mũũmbi wa igũrũ na thĩ.

Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
