Thaburi 148
1 Goocai Jehova. Goocai Jehova mũrĩ kũu igũrũ, mũmũgooce mũrĩ kũu gũtũũgĩru mũno.
Hallelujah! Praise Jehovah from the heavens; praise him in the heights.
2 Mũgoocei, inyuĩ araika ake othe, mũmũgooce, inyuothe mbũtũ ciake cia igũrũ.
Praise ye him, all his angels; praise ye him, all his hosts.
3 Mũgoocei, inyuĩ riũa na mweri, mũgoocei, inyuothe njata iria icangararaga.
Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all ye stars of light.
4 Mũgoocei, inyuĩ igũrũ rĩa igũrũ, o na inyuĩ maaĩ ma kũu igũrũ wa matu.
Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that are above the heavens.
5 Indo ciothe nĩikĩgooce rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova, nĩgũkorwo nĩwe wathanire na cio ikĩgĩa kuo.
Let them praise the name of Jehovah, for he it is that commanded, and they were created:
6 Aaciigire handũ hacio itũũre ho tene na tene; aaheanire kĩrĩra kĩa watho wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo kĩrĩa gĩtagathira.
And he established them for ever and ever; he made [for them] a statute which shall not pass.
7 Goocai Jehova gũkũ thĩ, inyuĩ ciũmbe cia iria-inĩ, na ũriku wothe wa maria marĩa manene,
Praise Jehovah from the earth, ye sea-monsters, and all deeps;
8 rũheni, na mbura ya mbembe, na tharunji, na matu, na ihuhũkanio cia huho iria ihingagia kĩrĩra gĩake,
Fire and hail, snow and vapour, stormy wind fulfilling his word;
9 inyuĩ irĩma, na tũrĩma tuothe, na mĩtĩ ya matunda, na mĩtarakwa yothe,
Mountains and all hills, fruit-trees and all cedars;
10 nyamũ cia gĩthaka, na ngʼombe ciothe, na ciũmbe iria nini, o na nyoni iria ciũmbũkaga,
Beasts and all cattle, creeping things and winged fowl;
11 athamaki a thĩ, na ndũrĩrĩ ciothe, na inyuĩ anene, na aathani othe a thĩ,
Kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all judges of the earth;
12 aanake, na airĩtu, na andũ arĩa akũrũ, o na ciana.
Both young men and maidens, old men with youths, —
13 Othe nĩmagoocage rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova, nĩgũkorwo rĩĩtwa rĩake riiki nĩrĩo rĩtũũgĩrie; riiri wake ũrĩ igũrũ rĩa thĩ o na rĩa matu.
Let them praise the name of Jehovah: for his name alone is exalted; his majesty is above the earth and the heavens.
14 Nĩambararĩtie rũhĩa nĩ ũndũ wa andũ ake, nĩruo ũgooci wa andũ ake arĩa aamũre, nĩo andũ a Isiraeli, andũ arĩa marĩ hakuhĩ na ngoro yake. Goocai Jehova.
And he hath lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints, [even] of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Hallelujah!
