Thaburi 66
1 Rwĩmbo rwa Thaburi Anĩrĩrai Ngai mũkenete mũrĩ mbere ya Jehova, inyuĩ andũ othe a thĩ!
“For the leader of the music. A psalm.” Shout joyfully unto God. all ye lands!
2 Inai mũrahe riiri wa rĩĩtwa rĩake; gũkumio gwake tũmai kũgĩe na riiri!
Sing ye the honor of his name; Make his praise glorious!
3 Ĩrai Ngai atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ ciĩko ciaku nĩ cia magegania-ĩ! Ũhoti waku nĩ mũnene mũno nginya ũgatũma thũ ciaku ciĩhetage nĩ guoya irĩ mbere yaku.
Say unto God, How terrible are thy doings! Through the greatness of thy power thine enemies are suppliants to thee!
4 Andũ othe a thĩ nĩwe mainamagĩrĩra; mainaga magakũgooca, mainaga makagooca rĩĩtwa rĩaku.”
Let all the earth worship thee; Let it sing praise to thee, let it sing praise to thy name! (Pause)
5 Ũkai muone ũrĩa Ngai ekĩte, maũndũ marĩa ekagĩra andũ matikĩrĩ ma kũmakania!
Come, behold the works of God! How terrible his doings among the sons of men!
6 Aagarũrire iria rĩgĩtuĩka thĩ nyũmũ, nao andũ makĩhĩtũkĩra kũu maaĩ-inĩ na magũrũ; ũkai, tũmũkenere.
He turned the sea into dry land; They went through the deep on foot; Then we rejoiced in him.
7 Nĩ ũndũ wa hinya wake, egũtũũra aathanaga nginya tene, maitho make maikaraga marorete ndũrĩrĩ, nĩguo andũ arĩa aremi matikagerie kũmũũkĩrĩra.
By his power he ruleth for ever; His eyes are fixed upon the nations; Let not the rebellious exalt themselves! (Pause)
8 Goocai Ngai witũ, inyuĩ andũ a ndũrĩrĩ, mũgambo wake wa kũmũgooca nĩũiguĩke;
O bless our God, ye nations. And make the voice of his praise to be heard!
9 nĩatũtũũrĩtie muoyo na akagirĩrĩria magũrũ maitũ matirũke.
It is he who preserveth our lives, And suffereth not our feet to stumble.
10 Nĩgũkorwo Wee Ngai nĩũtũgeretie; ũtũtheragia ta ũrĩa betha ĩtheragio na mwaki.
Thou hast, indeed, proved us, O God! Thou hast tried us as silver is tried.
11 Nĩwatũmire tũtwarwo njeera na ũgĩtũkuuithia mĩrigo mĩritũ.
Thou broughtest us into a snare, And didst lay a heavy burden upon our backs;
12 Warekire andũ matũikarĩre mĩtwe; twagĩtuĩkanirie mwaki-inĩ o na maaĩ-inĩ, no ũgĩcooka ũgĩtũrehe kũndũ kũrĩ bũthi.
Thou didst cause men to ride upon our heads, And we have gone through fire and water: But thou hast brought us to a place of abundance.
13 Nĩngũũka hekarũ-inĩ yaku ndĩ na maruta ma njino, nĩguo hingie mĩĩhĩtwa yakwa harĩwe,
I will go into thy house with burnt-offerings! I will pay thee my vows, —
14 mĩĩhĩtwa ĩrĩa mĩromo yakwa yeranĩire, na ngĩmĩaria na kanua gakwa, rĩrĩa ndaarĩ thĩĩna-inĩ.
The vows which my lips uttered. Which my mouth promised in my trouble.
15 Ngũkũrutĩra igongona rĩa nyamũ iria noru, na ndute iruta rĩa ndũrũme; ngũkũrutĩra igongona rĩa ndegwa na mbũri.
Burnt sacrifices of fatlings will I offer to thee with the fat of rams; Bullocks, with he-goats, will I sacrifice to thee. (Pause)
16 Ũkai mũthikĩrĩrie inyuothe arĩa mwĩtigĩrĩte Ngai; rekei ndĩmũhe ũhoro wa ũrĩa anjĩkĩire.
Come and hear, all ye who fear God, And I will relate what he hath done for me!
17 Ndamũkaĩire na kanua gakwa, ngĩmũgooca na rũrĩmĩ rwakwa.
I called upon him with my mouth, And praise is now upon my tongue.
18 Korwo ndaarĩ na mehia ngoro-inĩ yakwa-rĩ, Mwathani ndangĩanjiguire;
If I had meditated wickedness in my heart, The Lord would not have heard me:
19 no ti-itherũ Ngai nĩathikĩrĩirie, na akĩigua mũgambo wakwa ngĩmũhooya.
But surely God hath heard me; He hath had regard to the voice of my supplication.
20 Ngai arogoocwo, o we ũtaaregire kũigua ihooya rĩakwa, o na kana akĩaga kũnyonia wendo wake!
Blessed be God, who did not reject my prayer, Nor withhold his mercy from me!
