1 Goocai Jehova. Goocai rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova; inyuĩ ndungata cia Jehova-rĩ, mũgoocei,
Let the Lord be praised. O you servants of the Lord, give praise to the name of the Lord.
2 inyuĩ mũtungataga thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ya Jehova, o inyuĩ mũrũgamaga nja-inĩ cia nyũmba ya Ngai witũ.
You who are in the house of the Lord, and in the open spaces of the house of our God,
3 Goocai Jehova, nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩ mwega; inai mũgooce rĩĩtwa rĩake, nĩgũkorwo nĩ rĩega.
Give praise to Jah, for he is good: make melody to his name, for it is pleasing.
4 Nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩethuurĩire Jakubu atuĩke wake, agathuura Isiraeli atuĩke igai rĩake kĩũmbe.
For the Lord has taken Jacob for himself, and Israel for his property.
5 Niĩ nĩnjũũĩ atĩ Jehova nĩ mũnene, atĩ Mwathani witũ nĩ mũnene gũkĩra ngai ciothe.
I know that the Lord is great, and that our Lord is greater than all other gods.
6 Jehova ekaga ũrĩa wothe ekwenda, kũu igũrũ na gũkũ thĩ, o na kũu iria-inĩ o na kũrĩa guothe kũriku mũno.
The Lord has done whatever was pleasing to him, in heaven, and on the earth, in the seas and in all the deep waters.
7 Nĩwe ũtũmaga matu mambate kuuma ituri-inĩ cia thĩ; nĩwe ũtũmaga kũgĩe heni irehanĩte na mbura, na akarehe rũhuho kuuma mĩthithũ-inĩ yake.
He makes the mists go up from the ends of the earth; he makes thunder-flames for the rain; he sends out the winds from his store-houses.
8 Nĩwe waringire marigithathi ma Misiri, marigithathi ma andũ na ma nyamũ.
He put to death the first-fruits of Egypt, of man and of beast.
9 Wee Misiri, nĩwe watũmire thĩinĩ waku kũringwo ciama na morirũ, agĩũkĩrĩra Firaũni na ndungata ciake ciothe.
He sent signs and wonders among you, O Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his servants.
10 Nĩwe waringire ndũrĩrĩ nyingĩ na akĩũraga athamaki maarĩ hinya:
He overcame great nations, and put strong kings to death;
11 nĩo Sihoni mũthamaki wa Aamori, na Ogu mũthamaki wa Bashani, o na athamaki othe a Kaanani;
Sihon, king of the Amorites, and Og, king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan;
12 akĩheana bũrũri wao ũtuĩke igai, ũtuĩke igai kũrĩ andũ ake a Isiraeli.
And gave their land for a heritage, even for a heritage to Israel his people.
13 Rĩĩtwa rĩaku, Wee Jehova, rĩtũũraga nginya tene, ngumo yaku, Wee Jehova, ĩgakinyĩra njiarwa na njiarwa.
O Lord, your name is eternal; and the memory of you will have no end.
14 Nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩagaciirĩrĩra andũ ake, na aiguĩre ndungata ciake tha.
For the Lord will be judge of his people's cause; his feelings will be changed to his servants.
15 Mĩhianano ya ndũrĩrĩ ĩthondeketwo na betha na thahabu, o wĩra wa moko ma andũ.
The images of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
16 Nĩĩrĩ tũnua, no ndĩaragia, nĩĩrĩ maitho, no ndĩonaga;
They have mouths, but no voice, they have eyes, but they do not see;
17 nĩĩrĩ matũ, no ndĩiguaga, o na ndĩrĩ mĩhũmũ tũnua-inĩ twayo.
They have ears, but no hearing; and there is no breath in their mouths.
18 Andũ arĩa mamĩthondekaga makaahaana o tayo, na noguo arĩa othe mamĩĩhokaga makaahaana.
Those who make them are like them; and so is everyone who puts his hope in them.
19 Inyuĩ nyũmba ya Isiraeli, goocai Jehova; Inyuĩ nyũmba ya Harũni, goocai Jehova;
Give praise to the Lord, O children of Israel: give praise to the Lord, O sons of Aaron:
20 Inyuĩ nyũmba ya Lawi, goocai Jehova; inyuĩ arĩa mũmwĩtigĩrĩte, goocai Jehova.
Give praise to the Lord, O sons of Levi: let all the worshippers of the Lord give him praise.
21 Jehova arogoocwo kuuma Zayuni, o we ũtũũraga kũu Jerusalemu. Goocai Jehova.
Praise be to the Lord out of Zion, even to the Lord whose house is in Jerusalem, Let the Lord be praised.
