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 to praise our God, For pleasant — comely [is] praise.
2 Jehova nĩwe wakaga Jerusalemu; nĩwe ũcookagĩrĩria andũ a Isiraeli arĩa matahĩtwo.
Building Jerusalem [is] Jehovah, The driven away of Israel He gathereth.
3 Nĩwe ũhonagia arĩa athuthĩku ngoro, na akamooha ironda ciao.
Who is giving healing to the broken of heart, And is binding up their griefs.
4 Nĩwe ũmenyaga mũigana wa njata, na akahe njata o njata rĩĩtwa rĩayo.
Appointing the number of the stars, To all them He giveth names.
5 Mwathani witũ nĩwe mũnene na nĩ arĩ hinya mũingĩ; ũmenyo wake ndũrĩ mũthia.
Great [is] our Lord, and abundant in power, Of His understanding there is no narration.
6 Jehova nĩwe ũtiiragĩrĩra andũ arĩa ahooreri, no arĩa aaganu amatungumanagia thĩ.
Jehovah is causing the meek to stand, Making low the wicked unto the earth.
7 Inĩrai Jehova mũmũcookerie ngaatho; inĩrai Ngai witũ na kĩnanda kĩa mũgeeto.
Answer ye to Jehovah with thanksgiving, Sing ye to our God with a harp.
8 Nĩahumbagĩra igũrũ na matu; nĩwe uuragĩria thĩ mbura, na agatũma nyeki ĩmere tũrĩma-inĩ.
Who is covering the heavens with clouds, Who is preparing for the earth rain, Who is causing grass to spring up [on] mountains,
9 Nĩwe ũheaga ngʼombe irio, na akahe tũcui twa mahuru irio rĩrĩa twamũkaĩra.
Giving to the beast its food, To the young of the ravens that call.
10 We ndakenagĩra hinya wa mbarathi, o na kana agakenera magũrũ ma mũndũ;
Not in the might of the horse doth He delight, Not in the legs of a man is He pleased.
11 Jehova akenagio nĩ andũ arĩa mamwĩtigagĩra, o arĩa maigaga mwĩhoko wao harĩ wendo wake ũrĩa ũtathiraga.
Jehovah is pleased with those fearing Him, With those waiting for His kindness.
12 Wee Jerusalemu, kumia Jehova; gooca Ngai waku, wee Zayuni,
Glorify, O Jerusalem, Jehovah, Praise thy God, O Zion.
13 nĩgũkorwo nĩwe wĩkagĩra mĩgĩĩko ya ihingo ciaku hinya, na akarathima andũ aku arĩa marĩ thĩinĩ waku.
For He did strengthen the bars of thy gates, He hath blessed thy sons in thy midst.
14 Nĩatũmĩte kũgĩe thayũ mĩhaka-inĩ yaku, na agakũhũũnia na ngano ĩrĩa njega mũno.
Who is making thy border peace, [With] the fat of wheat He satisfieth Thee.
15 Atũmaga wathani wake ũkinye gũkũ thĩ; kiugo gĩake kĩhanyũkaga narua mũno.
Who is sending forth His saying [on] earth, Very speedily doth His word run.
16 Oiragia tharunji ĩhaana ta guoya mwerũ cua, nayo mbaa akamĩhurunja ta mũhu.
Who is giving snow like wool, Hoar-frost as ashes He scattereth.
17 Mbura ya mbembe amiuragia taarĩ kagoto karoira. Nũũ ũngĩhota gwĩtiiria heho ĩyo yake?
Casting forth His ice like morsels, Before His cold who doth stand?
18 Atũmaga kiugo gĩake agatũma itwekũke; ahurutithanagia rũhuho, namo maaĩ magatherera.
He sendeth forth 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.
Declaring His words to Jacob, His statutes and His judgments to Israel.
20 Ndarĩ ekĩra rũrĩrĩ rũngĩ ta ũguo, mawatho macio make ndũrĩrĩ itirĩ ciamamenya. Goocai Jehova.
He hath not done so to any nation, As to judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye Jah!
