Thaburi 124

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

A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. BY DAVID. If YHWH had not been for us (Pray, let Israel say),

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

If YHWH had not been for us, In the rising up of man against us,

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

Then they had swallowed us alive, In the burning of their anger against us,

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

Then the waters had overflowed us, The stream passed over our soul,

5 maaĩ macio maathereraga na hinya mũno nĩmangĩatũthereririe.

Then proud waters had passed over our soul.

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

Blessed [is] YHWH who has not given us, [As] prey to their teeth.

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

Our soul has escaped as a bird from a snare of fowlers, The snare was broken, and we have escaped.

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

Our help [is] in the Name of YHWH, Maker of the heavens and earth!
