Thaburi 146

1 Goocai Jehova. Wee ngoro yakwa-rĩ, gooca Jehova.

Praise ye YHWH. Praise YHWH, O my soul.

2 Ndĩgoocaga Jehova hĩndĩ ĩrĩa yothe ngũtũũra muoyo; ndĩrĩinaga, ngoocage Ngai wakwa rĩrĩa rĩothe ngũtũũra muoyo.

While I live will I praise YHWH: I will sing praises unto my Elohim while I have any being.

3 Ndũkanaige mwĩhoko waku harĩ anene, kana harĩ andũ, arĩa matangĩhota kũhonokania.

Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.

4 Rĩrĩa roho wao wameherera, macookaga o tĩĩri-inĩ; mũthenya o ro ũcio mĩbango yao ĩtuĩkaga ya tũhũ.

His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.

5 Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa ũteithio wake uumaga kũrĩ Mũrungu wa Jakubu, ũrĩa mwĩhoko wake ũrĩ harĩ Jehova Ngai wake,

Joyful is he that hath the El of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in YHWH his Elohim:

6 Mũũmbi wa igũrũ na thĩ, na iria, na kĩrĩa gĩothe gĩtũũraga thĩinĩ wacio: ũcio nĩwe Jehova, ũrĩa ũtũũraga arĩ mwĩhokeku nginya tene.

Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever:

7 Nĩarũgamagĩrĩra kĩhooto kĩa arĩa ahatĩrĩrie, na akahe arĩa ahũtu irio. Jehova nĩwe wohoraga arĩa mohetwo,

Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. YHWH looseth the prisoners:

8 Jehova nĩahingũraga maitho ma arĩa atumumu, Jehova nĩatiiraga arĩa mainamĩte, Jehova nĩendete andũ arĩa athingu.

YHWH openeth the eyes of the blind: YHWH raiseth them that are bowed down: YHWH loveth the righteous:

9 Jehova nĩamenyagĩrĩra andũ a kũngĩ, na agatũũria ciana cia ngoriai o na mũtumia wa ndigwa, no njĩra cia andũ arĩa aaganu nĩacirigiicaga.

YHWH preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.

10 Jehova egũtũũra athamakaga nginya tene, Ngai waku, wee Zayuni, athamakage njiarwa na njiarwa. Goocai Jehova.

YHWH shall reign for ever, even thy Elohim, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye YHWH.
