Thaburi 124

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

A song of degrees, or Psalme of David. If the Lord had not bene on our side, (may Israel now say)

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

If the Lord had not bene on our side, when men rose vp against vs,

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

They had then swallowed vs vp quicke, when their wrath was kindled against vs.

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

Then the waters had drowned vs, and the streame had gone ouer our soule:

5 maaĩ macio maathereraga na hinya mũno nĩmangĩatũthereririe.

Then had the swelling waters gone ouer our soule.

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

Praysed be the Lord, which hath not giuen vs as a praye vnto their teeth.

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

Our soule is escaped, euen as a bird out of the snare of the foulers: the snare is broken, and we are deliuered.

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

Our helpe is in the Name of the Lord, which hath made heauen and earth.
