Thaburi 48
1 Thaburi ya Ariũ a Kora Jehova nĩ mũnene, na nĩ wa kũgoocwo mũno, arĩ kũu thĩinĩ wa itũũra inene rĩa Ngai witũ, o kĩrĩma-inĩ gĩake kĩrĩa kĩamũre.
Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness.
2 Kĩrĩma kĩu kĩa Ngai nĩ gĩthaka na gĩkaraiha na igũrũ, na nĩkĩo gĩkeno gĩa thĩ yothe. O ta ũrĩa Zafoni gũtũgĩrĩte na igũrũ mũno, no taguo Kĩrĩma gĩa Zayuni kĩhaana, itũũra rĩu inene rĩa Mũthamaki ũrĩa Mũnene.
Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.
3 Ngai arĩ thĩinĩ wa ciikaro iria ngitĩre cia mũthamaki; nake nĩeyonanĩtie atĩ nĩwe kĩirigo gĩacio kĩa hinya.
God is known in her palaces for a refuge.
4 Rĩrĩa athamaki maanyiitanire hamwe na magĩthiĩ magatharĩkĩre itũũra rĩu,
For, see, the kings were assembled, they passed by together.
5 maarĩonire, magĩtuĩka nda; makĩũra nĩ kĩmako kĩnene.
They saw it, and so they marveled; they were troubled, and hurried away.
6 O hau-hau makĩnyiitwo nĩ kũinaina, makĩgĩa na ruo ta rwa mũndũ-wa-nja akĩrũmwo.
Fear took hold on them there, and pain, as of a woman in travail.
7 Wamanangire o ta ũrĩa marikabu cia Tarishishi cianangagwo nĩ rũhuho ruumĩte mwena wa irathĩro.
You break the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.
8 O ta ũrĩa tũiguĩte, ũguo noguo tuonete thĩinĩ wa itũũra inene rĩa Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, itũũra rĩu inene rĩa Ngai witũ: Ngai egũtũũra arĩgitagĩra nginya tene.
As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it for ever. (Selah)
9 Tũrĩ thĩinĩ wa hekarũ yaku, Wee Ngai, twĩcũũranagia ũhoro wa wendo waku ũrĩa ũtathiraga.
We have thought of your loving kindness, O God, in the middle of your temple.
10 O ta ũrĩa rĩĩtwa rĩaku rĩtariĩ, Wee Ngai, ũguo noguo ngumo yaku ĩigana o nginya ituri-inĩ cia thĩ; guoko gwaku kwa ũrĩo kũiyũrĩtwo nĩ ũthingu.
According to your name, O God, so is your praise to the ends of the earth: your right hand is full of righteousness.
11 Kĩrĩma gĩa Zayuni nĩgĩkenaga, namo matũũra ma Juda magacanjamũka nĩ ũndũ wa matuĩro maku ma ciira.
Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of your judgments.
12 Ceeraceerai Zayuni, mũrĩthiũrũrũke, mũtare mĩthiringo yarĩo ĩrĩa mĩraihu na igũrũ,
Walk about Zion, and go round about her: tell the towers thereof.
13 mũrore ũrĩa kũirigĩtwo na hinya, na mũrore ciikaro iria ngitĩre cia mũthamaki, nĩgeetha mũkeeraga rũciaro rũrĩa rũgooka ũhoro wacio.
Mark you well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that you may tell it to the generation following.
14 Nĩgũkorwo Ngai ũyũ nĩwe Ngai witũ nginya tene na tene; egũtũũra atũtongoragia nginya hĩndĩ ĩtagathira.
For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even to death.
