Thaburi 135
1 Goocai Jehova. Goocai rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova; inyuĩ ndungata cia Jehova-rĩ, mũgoocei,
Praise ye the name of the Lord: O you his servants, praise the Lord:
2 inyuĩ mũtungataga thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ya Jehova, o inyuĩ mũrũgamaga nja-inĩ cia nyũmba ya Ngai witũ.
You that stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God.
3 Goocai Jehova, nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩ mwega; inai mũgooce rĩĩtwa rĩake, nĩgũkorwo nĩ rĩega.
Praise ye the Lord, for the Lord is good: sing ye to his name, for it is sweet.
4 Nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩethuurĩire Jakubu atuĩke wake, agathuura Isiraeli atuĩke igai rĩake kĩũmbe.
For the Lord hath chosen Jacob unto himself: Israel for his own possession.
5 Niĩ nĩnjũũĩ atĩ Jehova nĩ mũnene, atĩ Mwathani witũ nĩ mũnene gũkĩra ngai ciothe.
For I have known that the Lord is great, and our God is above all gods.
6 Jehova ekaga ũrĩa wothe ekwenda, kũu igũrũ na gũkũ thĩ, o na kũu iria-inĩ o na kũrĩa guothe kũriku mũno.
Whatsoever the Lord hath pleased he hath done, in heaven, in earth, in the sea, and in all the deeps.
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 bringeth up clouds from the end of the earth: he hath made lightnings for the rain. He bringeth forth winds out of his stores:
8 Nĩwe waringire marigithathi ma Misiri, marigithathi ma andũ na ma nyamũ.
He slew the firstborn of Egypt from man even unto beast.
9 Wee Misiri, nĩwe watũmire thĩinĩ waku kũringwo ciama na morirũ, agĩũkĩrĩra Firaũni na ndungata ciake ciothe.
He sent forth signs and wonders in the midst of thee, O Egypt: upon Pharao, and upon all his servants.
10 Nĩwe waringire ndũrĩrĩ nyingĩ na akĩũraga athamaki maarĩ hinya:
He smote many nations, and slew mighty kings:
11 nĩo Sihoni mũthamaki wa Aamori, na Ogu mũthamaki wa Bashani, o na athamaki othe a Kaanani;
Sehon king of the Amorrhites, and Og king of Basan, and all the kingdoms of Chanaan.
12 akĩheana bũrũri wao ũtuĩke igai, ũtuĩke igai kũrĩ andũ ake a Isiraeli.
And gave their land for an inheritance, for an inheritance to his people Israel.
13 Rĩĩtwa rĩaku, Wee Jehova, rĩtũũraga nginya tene, ngumo yaku, Wee Jehova, ĩgakinyĩra njiarwa na njiarwa.
Thy name, O Lord, is for ever: thy memorial, O Lord, unto all generations.
14 Nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩagaciirĩrĩra andũ ake, na aiguĩre ndungata ciake tha.
For the Lord will judge his people, and will be entreated in favour of his servants.
15 Mĩhianano ya ndũrĩrĩ ĩthondeketwo na betha na thahabu, o wĩra wa moko ma andũ.
The idols of the Gentiles are silver and gold, the works of men’s hands.
16 Nĩĩrĩ tũnua, no ndĩaragia, nĩĩrĩ maitho, no ndĩonaga;
They have a mouth, but they speak not: they have eyes, but they see not.
17 nĩĩrĩ matũ, no ndĩiguaga, o na ndĩrĩ mĩhũmũ tũnua-inĩ twayo.
They have ears, but they hear not: neither is there any breath in their mouths.
18 Andũ arĩa mamĩthondekaga makaahaana o tayo, na noguo arĩa othe mamĩĩhokaga makaahaana.
Let them that make them be like to them: and every one that trusteth in them.
19 Inyuĩ nyũmba ya Isiraeli, goocai Jehova; Inyuĩ nyũmba ya Harũni, goocai Jehova;
Bless the Lord, O house of Israel: bless the Lord, O house of Aaron.
20 Inyuĩ nyũmba ya Lawi, goocai Jehova; inyuĩ arĩa mũmwĩtigĩrĩte, goocai Jehova.
Bless the Lord, O house of Levi: you that fear the Lord, bless the Lord.
21 Jehova arogoocwo kuuma Zayuni, o we ũtũũraga kũu Jerusalemu. Goocai Jehova.
Blessed be the Lord out of Sion, who dwelleth in Jerusalem.
