Thaburi 147
1 Goocai Jehova. Kaĩ nĩ ũndũ mwega kũgooca Ngai witũ na rwĩmbo-ĩ, kaĩ nĩ ũndũ mwega na mwagĩrĩru kũmũgooca-ĩ!
Praise ye Jah! for it is good. Sing psalms of our God; for it is pleasant: praise is comely.
2 Jehova nĩwe wakaga Jerusalemu; nĩwe ũcookagĩrĩria andũ a Isiraeli arĩa matahĩtwo.
Jehovah doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth the outcasts of Israel.
3 Nĩwe ũhonagia arĩa athuthĩku ngoro, na akamooha ironda ciao.
He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.
4 Nĩwe ũmenyaga mũigana wa njata, na akahe njata o njata rĩĩtwa rĩayo.
He counteth the number of the stars; he giveth names to them all.
5 Mwathani witũ nĩwe mũnene na nĩ arĩ hinya mũingĩ; ũmenyo wake ndũrĩ mũthia.
Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.
6 Jehova nĩwe ũtiiragĩrĩra andũ arĩa ahooreri, no arĩa aaganu amatungumanagia thĩ.
Jehovah lifteth up the meek; he abaseth the wicked to the earth.
7 Inĩrai Jehova mũmũcookerie ngaatho; inĩrai Ngai witũ na kĩnanda kĩa mũgeeto.
Sing unto Jehovah with thanksgiving; sing psalms upon the harp unto our God:
8 Nĩahumbagĩra igũrũ na matu; nĩwe uuragĩria thĩ mbura, na agatũma nyeki ĩmere tũrĩma-inĩ.
Who covereth the heavens with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains;
9 Nĩwe ũheaga ngʼombe irio, na akahe tũcui twa mahuru irio rĩrĩa twamũkaĩra.
Who giveth to the cattle their food, to the young ravens which cry.
10 We ndakenagĩra hinya wa mbarathi, o na kana agakenera magũrũ ma mũndũ;
He delighteth not in the strength of the horse, he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man;
11 Jehova akenagio nĩ andũ arĩa mamwĩtigagĩra, o arĩa maigaga mwĩhoko wao harĩ wendo wake ũrĩa ũtathiraga.
Jehovah taketh pleasure in those that fear him, in those that hope in his loving-kindness.
12 Wee Jerusalemu, kumia Jehova; gooca Ngai waku, wee Zayuni,
Laud Jehovah, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion.
13 nĩgũkorwo nĩwe wĩkagĩra mĩgĩĩko ya ihingo ciaku hinya, na akarathima andũ aku arĩa marĩ thĩinĩ waku.
For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; he hath blessed thy children within thee;
14 Nĩatũmĩte kũgĩe thayũ mĩhaka-inĩ yaku, na agakũhũũnia na ngano ĩrĩa njega mũno.
He maketh peace in thy borders; he satisfieth thee with the finest of the wheat.
15 Atũmaga wathani wake ũkinye gũkũ thĩ; kiugo gĩake kĩhanyũkaga narua mũno.
He sendeth forth his oracles to the earth: his word runneth very swiftly.
16 Oiragia tharunji ĩhaana ta guoya mwerũ cua, nayo mbaa akamĩhurunja ta mũhu.
He giveth snow like wool, scattereth the hoar frost like ashes;
17 Mbura ya mbembe amiuragia taarĩ kagoto karoira. Nũũ ũngĩhota gwĩtiiria heho ĩyo yake?
He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold?
18 Atũmaga kiugo gĩake agatũma itwekũke; ahurutithanagia rũhuho, namo maaĩ magatherera.
He sendeth his word, and melteth them; he causeth his wind to blow — the waters flow.
19 Nĩaguũrĩtie kiugo gĩake harĩ Jakubu, akaguũrĩria Isiraeli mawatho make na kĩrĩra kĩa watho wake wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo.
He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel.
20 Ndarĩ ekĩra rũrĩrĩ rũngĩ ta ũguo, mawatho macio make ndũrĩrĩ itirĩ ciamamenya. Goocai Jehova.
He hath not dealt thus with any nation; and as for [his] judgments, they have not known them. Hallelujah!
