Thaburi 66
1 Rwĩmbo rwa Thaburi Anĩrĩrai Ngai mũkenete mũrĩ mbere ya Jehova, inyuĩ andũ othe a thĩ!
To the Chief Musician. A Melodious Song. Make a joyful noise unto God, all the earth;
2 Inai mũrahe riiri wa rĩĩtwa rĩake; gũkumio gwake tũmai kũgĩe na riiri!
Praise ye in song the glory of his Name, Celebrate the glory of his praise:
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 fearful in thy doings, Through the abounding of thy power, shall thy foes come cringing unto thee;
4 Andũ othe a thĩ nĩwe mainamagĩrĩra; mainaga magakũgooca, mainaga makagooca rĩĩtwa rĩaku.”
All the earth, shall bow themselves down to thee, And sing praises unto thee, Shall praise in song thy Name. (Selah)
5 Ũkai muone ũrĩa Ngai ekĩte, maũndũ marĩa ekagĩra andũ matikĩrĩ ma kũmakania!
Come and see the doings of God, —Fearful in deed toward 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, Through the stream, crossed they over on foot, There did we rejoice in him:
7 Nĩ ũndũ wa hinya wake, egũtũũra aathanaga nginya tene, maitho make maikaraga marorete ndũrĩrĩ, nĩguo andũ arĩa aremi matikagerie kũmũũkĩrĩra.
Who ruleth, in his might, unto times age abiding, His eyes, over the nations, keep watch, The rebellious, let them not exalt themselves. (Selah)
8 Goocai Ngai witũ, inyuĩ andũ a ndũrĩrĩ, mũgambo wake wa kũmũgooca nĩũiguĩke;
Bless our God, O ye peoples, And cause to be heard, the sound of his praise; —
9 nĩatũtũũrĩtie muoyo na akagirĩrĩria magũrũ maitũ matirũke.
Who hath set our soul among the living, And hath not suffered, our foot, to slip.
10 Nĩgũkorwo Wee Ngai nĩũtũgeretie; ũtũtheragia ta ũrĩa betha ĩtheragio na mwaki.
For thou didst prove us, O God, Thou didst refine us, according to the refining of silver:
11 Nĩwatũmire tũtwarwo njeera na ũgĩtũkuuithia mĩrigo mĩritũ.
Thou didst bring us into the hunter’s net, Thou didst lay a load upon our loins;
12 Warekire andũ matũikarĩre mĩtwe; twagĩtuĩkanirie mwaki-inĩ o na maaĩ-inĩ, no ũgĩcooka ũgĩtũrehe kũndũ kũrĩ bũthi.
Thou didst let men ride at our head; We went into fire and into water, But thou didst bring us forth into freedom.
13 Nĩngũũka hekarũ-inĩ yaku ndĩ na maruta ma njino, nĩguo hingie mĩĩhĩtwa yakwa harĩwe,
I will enter thy house with ascending-sacrifices, I will pay unto thee my vows,
14 mĩĩhĩtwa ĩrĩa mĩromo yakwa yeranĩire, na ngĩmĩaria na kanua gakwa, rĩrĩa ndaarĩ thĩĩna-inĩ.
Which my lips uttered, And my mouth spake, in my distress.
15 Ngũkũrutĩra igongona rĩa nyamũ iria noru, na ndute iruta rĩa ndũrũme; ngũkũrutĩra igongona rĩa ndegwa na mbũri.
Ascending-sacrifices of fatlings, will I cause to ascend unto thee, With the perfume of rams, I will offer bulls, with he-goats. (Selah)
16 Ũkai mũthikĩrĩrie inyuothe arĩa mwĩtigĩrĩte Ngai; rekei ndĩmũhe ũhoro wa ũrĩa anjĩkĩire.
Come! hearken—that I may recount, all ye reverers of God, What he hath done for my soul: —
17 Ndamũkaĩire na kanua gakwa, ngĩmũgooca na rũrĩmĩ rwakwa.
Unto him—with my mouth, did I cry, And high praise was under my tongue.
18 Korwo ndaarĩ na mehia ngoro-inĩ yakwa-rĩ, Mwathani ndangĩanjiguire;
If, iniquity, I had cared for in my heart, My Lord, had not heard me!
19 no ti-itherũ Ngai nĩathikĩrĩirie, na akĩigua mũgambo wakwa ngĩmũhooya.
But in truth, God hath heard, He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.
20 Ngai arogoocwo, o we ũtaaregire kũigua ihooya rĩakwa, o na kana akĩaga kũnyonia wendo wake!
Blessed be God, Who hath not turned away my prayer, Nor his own lovingkindness from me.
