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 as Mount Zion, which can’t be moved, but remains forever.

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 from this time forward and forever more.

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

For the scepter of wickedness won’t remain over the allotment of the righteous, so that the righteous won’t use their hands to do evil.

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

Do good, Yahweh, to those who are good, 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 away to their crooked ways, Yahweh will lead them away with the workers of iniquity. Peace be on Israel.
