< Thaburi 33 >

1 Inĩrai Jehova mũkenete, inyuĩ andũ arĩa athingu; andũ arĩa arũngĩrĩru ngoro nĩo maagĩrĩirwo nĩkũmũgooca.
Be joyful, O ye righteous, in the Lord; [for] unto the righteous praise is comely.
2 Goocai Jehova na kĩnanda kĩa mũgeeto; mũinĩrei na kĩnanda kĩrĩa kĩgeete na nga ikũmi.
Give thanks unto the Lord with the harp: with the ten-stringed psaltery do ye sing [praises] unto him.
3 Mũinĩrei rwĩmbo rwerũ; hũũrai inanda mũrĩ na ũũgĩ, na mwanĩrĩre nĩ gũkena.
Sing unto him a new song; play beautifully amidst a triumphant shout.
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 done] in truth.
5 Jehova nĩendete ũthingu na ciira wa kĩhooto; thĩ yothe ĩiyũrĩte wendani wake ũrĩa ũtathiraga.
He loveth righteousness and justice: the earth is full of the kindness 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 by the breath of his mouth all their host.
7 Aacookanĩrĩirie maaĩ ma iria inene ndigithũ-inĩ; maaĩ ma kũrĩa kũriku aamaigire thĩinĩ wa makũmbĩ.
He gathereth together like heaps the waters of the sea: he layeth up in store-houses the depths [of the sea].
8 Thĩ yothe nĩĩtigĩre Jehova; andũ othe a thĩ nĩmamũtĩĩe.
Let all the earth fear the Lord: of him stand in awe all the inhabitants of the world.
9 Nĩgũkorwo aaririe, thĩ ĩkĩgĩa kuo; aathanire, ĩkĩĩhaanda, ĩkĩrũma wega.
For he spoke, and it came into being: he commanded, and it stood fast.
10 Jehova nĩarigiicaga mĩbango ya ndũrĩrĩ; nĩathũkagia mĩoroto ya andũ.
The Lord frustrateth the resolves of the nations: he bringeth to nought the thoughts of the people.
11 No mĩbango ya Jehova ĩĩhaandaga wega nginya tene, mĩoroto ya ngoro yake ĩgakinyĩra njiarwa na njiarwa.
The counsel of the Lord will stand 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.
Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people whom he hath chosen for himself as a heritage.
13 Jehova arĩ igũrũ aroraga thĩ akoona andũ othe;
The Lord looketh from heaven; he seeth 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 directeth his view upon all the inhabitants of the earth;
15 we nĩwe mũũmbi wa ngoro ciao othe, na nĩoĩ mawĩra mao mothe.
He fashioneth their hearts altogether; he hath regard to 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 an army: 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.
Vain is the horse for victory: nor shall he deliver any by the greatness of his strength.
18 No rĩrĩ, maitho ma Jehova macũthagĩrĩria andũ arĩa mamwĩtigagĩra, o acio maikaraga mehokete wendo wake ũrĩa ũtathiraga,
Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon those that fear him, upon those that hope for his kindness.
19 akamateithũra gĩkuũ-inĩ, na akamatũũria muoyo hĩndĩ ya ngʼaragu.
To deliver from death their soul, 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 the Lord: our help and our shield is he.
21 Ngoro ciitũ nĩcikenete nĩ ũndũ wake, nĩgũkorwo twĩhokete rĩĩtwa rĩake itheru.
For in him shall our heart rejoice: because in his holy name have we trusted.
22 Wee Jehova-rĩ, wendo waku ũrĩa ũtathiraga ũroikarania na ithuĩ, o ta ũrĩa ithuĩ tũkwĩrĩgĩrĩire.
Let thy kindness, O Lord, be upon us, even as we hope in thee.
