Thaburi 33
1 Inĩrai Jehova mũkenete, inyuĩ andũ arĩa athingu; andũ arĩa arũngĩrĩru ngoro nĩo maagĩrĩirwo nĩkũmũgooca.
Be glad in the Lord, O doers of righteousness; for praise is beautiful for the upright.
2 Goocai Jehova na kĩnanda kĩa mũgeeto; mũinĩrei na kĩnanda kĩrĩa kĩgeete na nga ikũmi.
Give praise to the Lord on the corded instrument; make melody to him with instruments of music.
3 Mũinĩrei rwĩmbo rwerũ; hũũrai inanda mũrĩ na ũũgĩ, na mwanĩrĩre nĩ gũkena.
Make a new song to him; playing expertly with a loud noise.
4 Nĩgũkorwo kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩerekereru na nĩ kĩa ma; we nĩ mwĩhokeku maũndũ-inĩ mothe marĩa ekaga.
For the word of the Lord is upright, and all his works are certain.
5 Jehova nĩendete ũthingu na ciira wa kĩhooto; thĩ yothe ĩiyũrĩte wendani wake ũrĩa ũtathiraga.
His delight is in righteousness and wisdom; the earth is full of the mercy of the Lord.
6 Igũrũ rĩombirwo na ũndũ wa kiugo kĩa Jehova, mbũtũ cia igũrũ ikĩũmbwo na mĩhũmũ ya kanua gake.
By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the army of heaven by the breath of his mouth.
7 Aacookanĩrĩirie maaĩ ma iria inene ndigithũ-inĩ; maaĩ ma kũrĩa kũriku aamaigire thĩinĩ wa makũmbĩ.
He makes the waters of the sea come together in a mass; he keeps the deep seas in store-houses.
8 Thĩ yothe nĩĩtigĩre Jehova; andũ othe a thĩ nĩmamũtĩĩe.
Let the earth be full of the fear of the Lord; let all the people of the world be in holy fear of him.
9 Nĩgũkorwo aaririe, thĩ ĩkĩgĩa kuo; aathanire, ĩkĩĩhaanda, ĩkĩrũma wega.
For he gave the word, and it was done; by his order it was fixed for ever.
10 Jehova nĩarigiicaga mĩbango ya ndũrĩrĩ; nĩathũkagia mĩoroto ya andũ.
The Lord undoes the designs of the nations; he makes the thoughts of the peoples without effect.
11 No mĩbango ya Jehova ĩĩhaandaga wega nginya tene, mĩoroto ya ngoro yake ĩgakinyĩra njiarwa na njiarwa.
The Lord's purpose is eternal, the designs of his heart go on through all the generations of man.
12 Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ rũrĩrĩ rũrĩa Jehova arĩ we Ngai waruo, andũ arĩa eethuurĩire matuĩke igai rĩake.
Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he has taken for his heritage.
13 Jehova arĩ igũrũ aroraga thĩ akoona andũ othe;
The Lord is looking down from heaven; he sees all the sons of men;
14 acũthagĩrĩria arĩa othe matũũraga gũkũ thĩ, arĩ o kũu gĩikaro-inĩ gĩake,
From his house he keeps watch on all who are living on the earth;
15 we nĩwe mũũmbi wa ngoro ciao othe, na nĩoĩ mawĩra mao mothe.
He makes all their hearts; their works are clear to him.
16 Gũtirĩ mũthamaki ũhonokagio nĩ mũigana wa ita rĩake, na gũtirĩ njamba ya ita ĩĩteithũraga nĩ ũndũ wa hinya wayo mũnene.
A king's salvation is not in the power of his army; a strong man does not get free by his great strength.
17 Ha ũhoro wa kũhonokania-rĩ, mbarathi cia mbaara nĩ mwĩhoko wa tũhũ; o na ĩrĩ na hinya mũingĩ ndĩngĩhonokania.
A horse is a false hope; his great power will not make any man free from danger.
18 No rĩrĩ, maitho ma Jehova macũthagĩrĩria andũ arĩa mamwĩtigagĩra, o acio maikaraga mehokete wendo wake ũrĩa ũtathiraga,
See, the eye of the Lord is on those in whose hearts is the fear of him, on those whose hope is in his mercy;
19 akamateithũra gĩkuũ-inĩ, na akamatũũria muoyo hĩndĩ ya ngʼaragu.
To keep their souls from death; and to keep them living in time of need.
20 Ithuĩ twetagĩrĩra Jehova tũrĩ na mwĩhoko; nĩwe ũteithio witũ o na ngo iitũ.
Our souls are waiting for the Lord; he is our help and our salvation.
21 Ngoro ciitũ nĩcikenete nĩ ũndũ wake, nĩgũkorwo twĩhokete rĩĩtwa rĩake itheru.
For in him our hearts have joy; in his holy name is our hope.
22 Wee Jehova-rĩ, wendo waku ũrĩa ũtathiraga ũroikarania na ithuĩ, o ta ũrĩa ithuĩ tũkwĩrĩgĩrĩire.
Let your mercy be on us, O Lord, as we are waiting for you.
