Thaburi 148

1 Goocai Jehova. Goocai Jehova mũrĩ kũu igũrũ, mũmũgooce mũrĩ kũu gũtũũgĩru mũno.

Praise ye Yah, Praise Yahweh, out of the heavens, Praise him, in the heights;

2 Mũgoocei, inyuĩ araika ake othe, mũmũgooce, inyuothe mbũtũ ciake cia igũrũ.

Praise him, all his messengers, Praise him, all his host;

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, O 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 Yahweh, for, he, commanded, and they were created;

6 Aaciigire handũ hacio itũũre ho tene na tene; aaheanire kĩrĩra kĩa watho wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo kĩrĩa gĩtagathira.

So caused he them to stand perpetually—age-abidingly, A decree, hath he given, and it passeth not beyond.

7 Goocai Jehova gũkũ thĩ, inyuĩ ciũmbe cia iria-inĩ, na ũriku wothe wa maria marĩa manene,

Praise Yahweh, out of the earth, sea monsters, and all resounding 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,

Ye 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,

Thou wild-beast, and all ye cattle, crawling creature, and bird of wing;

11 athamaki a thĩ, na ndũrĩrĩ ciothe, na inyuĩ anene, na aathani othe a thĩ,

Kings of earth, and all peoples, Rulers, and all judges of earth;

12 aanake, na airĩtu, na andũ arĩa akũrũ, o na ciana.

Young men, yea even virgins, elders, and children.

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 Yahweh, for lofty is his Name alone, His splendour is over earth and 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.

Therefore hath he exalted a horn for his people, a praise for all his men of lovingkindness, for the sons of Israel—a people near him, Praise ye Yah!
