< Thaburi 33 >

1 Inĩrai Jehova mũkenete, inyuĩ andũ arĩa athingu; andũ arĩa arũngĩrĩru ngoro nĩo maagĩrĩirwo nĩkũmũgooca.
Exult, ye righteous, in Jehovah: praise is comely for the upright.
2 Goocai Jehova na kĩnanda kĩa mũgeeto; mũinĩrei na kĩnanda kĩrĩa kĩgeete na nga ikũmi.
Give thanks unto Jehovah with the harp; sing psalms unto him with the ten-stringed lute.
3 Mũinĩrei rwĩmbo rwerũ; hũũrai inanda mũrĩ na ũũgĩ, na mwanĩrĩre nĩ gũkena.
Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud sound.
4 Nĩgũkorwo kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩerekereru na nĩ kĩa ma; we nĩ mwĩhokeku maũndũ-inĩ mothe marĩa ekaga.
For the word of Jehovah is right, and all his work is in faithfulness.
5 Jehova nĩendete ũthingu na ciira wa kĩhooto; thĩ yothe ĩiyũrĩte wendani wake ũrĩa ũtathiraga.
He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the loving-kindness of Jehovah.
6 Igũrũ rĩombirwo na ũndũ wa kiugo kĩa Jehova, mbũtũ cia igũrũ ikĩũmbwo na mĩhũmũ ya kanua gake.
By the word of Jehovah were the heavens made, and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
7 Aacookanĩrĩirie maaĩ ma iria inene ndigithũ-inĩ; maaĩ ma kũrĩa kũriku aamaigire thĩinĩ wa makũmbĩ.
He gathereth the waters of the sea together as a heap; he layeth up the deeps in storehouses.
8 Thĩ yothe nĩĩtigĩre Jehova; andũ othe a thĩ nĩmamũtĩĩe.
Let all the earth fear Jehovah; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
9 Nĩgũkorwo aaririe, thĩ ĩkĩgĩa kuo; aathanire, ĩkĩĩhaanda, ĩkĩrũma wega.
For he spoke, and it was [done]; he commanded, and it stood fast.
10 Jehova nĩarigiicaga mĩbango ya ndũrĩrĩ; nĩathũkagia mĩoroto ya andũ.
Jehovah frustrateth the counsel of the nations; he maketh the thoughts of the peoples of none effect.
11 No mĩbango ya Jehova ĩĩhaandaga wega nginya tene, mĩoroto ya ngoro yake ĩgakinyĩra njiarwa na njiarwa.
The counsel of Jehovah standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart from generation to generation.
12 Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ rũrĩrĩ rũrĩa Jehova arĩ we Ngai waruo, andũ arĩa eethuurĩire matuĩke igai rĩake.
Blessed is the nation whose God is Jehovah, the people that he hath chosen for his inheritance!
13 Jehova arĩ igũrũ aroraga thĩ akoona andũ othe;
Jehovah looketh from the heavens; he beholdeth all the sons of men:
14 acũthagĩrĩria arĩa othe matũũraga gũkũ thĩ, arĩ o kũu gĩikaro-inĩ gĩake,
From the place of his habitation he looketh forth upon all the inhabitants of the earth;
15 we nĩwe mũũmbi wa ngoro ciao othe, na nĩoĩ mawĩra mao mothe.
He who fashioneth the hearts of them all, who considereth all their works.
16 Gũtirĩ mũthamaki ũhonokagio nĩ mũigana wa ita rĩake, na gũtirĩ njamba ya ita ĩĩteithũraga nĩ ũndũ wa hinya wayo mũnene.
The king is not saved by the multitude of [his] forces; a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
17 Ha ũhoro wa kũhonokania-rĩ, mbarathi cia mbaara nĩ mwĩhoko wa tũhũ; o na ĩrĩ na hinya mũingĩ ndĩngĩhonokania.
The horse is a vain thing for safety; neither doth he deliver by his great power.
18 No rĩrĩ, maitho ma Jehova macũthagĩrĩria andũ arĩa mamwĩtigagĩra, o acio maikaraga mehokete wendo wake ũrĩa ũtathiraga,
Behold, the eye of Jehovah is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his loving-kindness,
19 akamateithũra gĩkuũ-inĩ, na akamatũũria muoyo hĩndĩ ya ngʼaragu.
To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
20 Ithuĩ twetagĩrĩra Jehova tũrĩ na mwĩhoko; nĩwe ũteithio witũ o na ngo iitũ.
Our soul waiteth for Jehovah: he is our help and our shield.
21 Ngoro ciitũ nĩcikenete nĩ ũndũ wake, nĩgũkorwo twĩhokete rĩĩtwa rĩake itheru.
For in him shall our heart rejoice, because we have confided in his holy name.
22 Wee Jehova-rĩ, wendo waku ũrĩa ũtathiraga ũroikarania na ithuĩ, o ta ũrĩa ithuĩ tũkwĩrĩgĩrĩire.
Let thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, according as we have hoped in thee.
