< Thaburi 124 >

1 Thaburi ya Daudi Korwo Jehova ndaakoretwo arĩ mwena witũ; Isiraeli nĩmakiuge ũguo:
If it had not been YHWH who was on our side, now may Israel say;
2 Korwo Jehova ndaarĩ mwena witũ rĩrĩa andũ maatũtharĩkĩire-rĩ,
If it had not been YHWH who was on our side, when men rose up against us:
3 nĩmangĩatũmeririe tũrĩ muoyo; rĩrĩa marakara mao maatũrĩrĩmbũkĩire-rĩ,
Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:
4 mũiyũro wa maaĩ nĩũngĩatũhubanĩirie, tũhumbwo nĩ nditi ya maaĩ macio;
Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:
5 maaĩ macio maathereraga na hinya mũno nĩmangĩatũthereririe.
Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
6 Jehova arogoocwo, o we ũtaatũrekereirie tũtambuurangwo nĩ magego mao.
Blessed be YHWH, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.
7 Ithuĩ tũhonokete ta nyoni ĩhonokete mũtego-inĩ wa mũmĩtegi; mũtego nĩunangĩtwo, na ithuĩ nĩtũhonokete.
Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.
8 Ũteithio witũ uumaga harĩ Jehova, o we Mũũmbi wa igũrũ na thĩ.
Our help is in the name of YHWH, who made heaven and earth.
