Thaburi 135
1 Goocai Jehova. Goocai rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova; inyuĩ ndungata cia Jehova-rĩ, mũgoocei,
Praise ye Yah, Praise ye the Name of Yahweh, Praise, O ye servants of Yahweh;
2 inyuĩ mũtungataga thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ya Jehova, o inyuĩ mũrũgamaga nja-inĩ cia nyũmba ya Ngai witũ.
Who stand In the house of Yahweh, 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 Yah, For good is Yahweh, Sing praises to his Name, For it is full of delight;
4 Nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩethuurĩire Jakubu atuĩke wake, agathuura Isiraeli atuĩke igai rĩake kĩũmbe.
For, Jacob, hath Yah chosen for himself, Israel, for his own treasure.
5 Niĩ nĩnjũũĩ atĩ Jehova nĩ mũnene, atĩ Mwathani witũ nĩ mũnene gũkĩra ngai ciothe.
For, I, know that great is Yahweh, yea, our Lord, is beyond 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 Yahweh hath pleased, he hath done, —in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas, and all resounding 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.
Causing vapours to ascend from the end of the earth, —Lightnings for the rain, hath he made, bringing forth 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 of beast;
9 Wee Misiri, nĩwe watũmire thĩinĩ waku kũringwo ciama na morirũ, agĩũkĩrĩra Firaũni na ndungata ciake ciothe.
Sent signs and wonders into thy midst, 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 as an inheritance, an inheritance to Israel his people.
13 Rĩĩtwa rĩaku, Wee Jehova, rĩtũũraga nginya tene, ngumo yaku, Wee Jehova, ĩgakinyĩra njiarwa na njiarwa.
O Yahweh! thy Name, is age-abiding, —O Yahweh! thy memorial, is to generation after generation.
14 Nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩagaciirĩrĩra andũ ake, na aiguĩre ndungata ciake tha.
For Yahweh will vindicate his people, —and, on his servants, have compassion.
15 Mĩhianano ya ndũrĩrĩ ĩthondeketwo na betha na thahabu, o wĩra wa moko ma andũ.
The idols of the nations, are silver and gold, the work of the hands of men:
16 Nĩĩrĩ tũnua, no ndĩaragia, nĩĩrĩ maitho, no ndĩonaga;
A mouth, have they, but they speak not, Eyes, have they, but they see not;
17 nĩĩrĩ matũ, no ndĩiguaga, o na ndĩrĩ mĩhũmũ tũnua-inĩ twayo.
Ears, have they, but they hear not, Nose, —there is no breath in their mouth.
18 Andũ arĩa mamĩthondekaga makaahaana o tayo, na noguo arĩa othe mamĩĩhokaga makaahaana.
Like unto them, shall be they who make them, every one who trusteth in them.
19 Inyuĩ nyũmba ya Isiraeli, goocai Jehova; Inyuĩ nyũmba ya Harũni, goocai Jehova;
O house of Israel! bless Yahweh, O house of Aaron! bless Yahweh;
20 Inyuĩ nyũmba ya Lawi, goocai Jehova; inyuĩ arĩa mũmwĩtigĩrĩte, goocai Jehova.
O house of Levi! bless Yahweh, Ye that revere Yahweh! bless Yahweh.
21 Jehova arogoocwo kuuma Zayuni, o we ũtũũraga kũu Jerusalemu. Goocai Jehova.
Blessed be Yahweh out of Zion, Who inhabiteth Jerusalem, Praise ye Yah!
