Thaburi 125

1 Andũ arĩa mehokete Jehova matariĩ ta Kĩrĩma gĩa Zayuni, kĩrĩa gĩtangĩenyenyeka, no gĩtũũraga nginya tene.

A song of ascents. Those who trust in Yahweh are like Mount Zion, unshakable, forever enduring.

2 O ta ũrĩa irĩma ithiũrũrũkĩirie Jerusalemu ũguo noguo Jehova athiũrũrũkagĩria andũ ake, kuuma rĩu nginya tene na tene.

As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so Yahweh surrounds his people now and forever.

3 Mũthĩgi wa andũ arĩa aaganu ndũgũtũũra wathanaga bũrũri ũrĩa ũgaĩirwo andũ arĩa athingu, nĩguo andũ acio athingu matikae gũtambũrũkia moko mao meeke ũũru.

The scepter of wickedness must not rule in the land of the righteous. Otherwise the righteous might do what is wrong.

4 Wee Jehova, andũ arĩa ega mekaga o maũndũ mega, o acio arũngĩrĩru ngoro.

Do good, Yahweh, to those who are good and to those who are upright in their hearts.

5 No rĩrĩ, andũ arĩa maahũkaga makagera njĩra iria njogomu-rĩ, Jehova nĩakamaingatanĩria hamwe na arĩa mekaga ũũru. Isiraeli kũrogĩa thayũ.

But as for those who turn aside to their crooked ways, Yahweh will lead them away with the evildoers. May peace be on Israel.
