1 Goocai Jehova. Goocai rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova; inyuĩ ndungata cia Jehova-rĩ, mũgoocei,
Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the name of the LORD; praise [him], O ye servants of the LORD.
2 inyuĩ mũtungataga thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ya Jehova, o inyuĩ mũrũgamaga nja-inĩ cia nyũmba ya Ngai witũ.
Ye 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 the LORD; for the LORD [is] good: sing praises unto his name; for [it is] pleasant.
4 Nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩethuurĩire Jakubu atuĩke wake, agathuura Isiraeli atuĩke igai rĩake kĩũmbe.
For the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto himself, [and] Israel for his peculiar treasure.
5 Niĩ nĩnjũũĩ atĩ Jehova nĩ mũnene, atĩ Mwathani witũ nĩ mũnene gũkĩra ngai ciothe.
For I know that the LORD [is] great, and [that] our Lord [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 pleased, [that] did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places.
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 causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain; he bringeth the wind out of his treasuries.
8 Nĩwe waringire marigithathi ma Misiri, marigithathi ma andũ na ma nyamũ.
Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast.
9 Wee Misiri, nĩwe watũmire thĩinĩ waku kũringwo ciama na morirũ, agĩũkĩrĩra Firaũni na ndungata ciake ciothe.
[Who] sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.
10 Nĩwe waringire ndũrĩrĩ nyingĩ na akĩũraga athamaki maarĩ hinya:
Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings;
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] an heritage, an heritage unto Israel his people.
13 Rĩĩtwa rĩaku, Wee Jehova, rĩtũũraga nginya tene, ngumo yaku, Wee Jehova, ĩgakinyĩra njiarwa na njiarwa.
Thy name, O LORD, [endureth] for ever; [and] thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations.
14 Nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩagaciirĩrĩra andũ ake, na aiguĩre ndungata ciake tha.
For the LORD will judge his people, and he will repent himself concerning his servants.
15 Mĩhianano ya ndũrĩrĩ ĩthondeketwo na betha na thahabu, o wĩra wa moko ma andũ.
The idols of the heathen [are] silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.
16 Nĩĩrĩ tũnua, no ndĩaragia, nĩĩrĩ maitho, no ndĩonaga;
They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, 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.
They that make them are like unto them: [so is] 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: ye 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 Zion, which dwelleth at Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.
