Thaburi 68
1 Thaburi ya Daudi Ngai nĩakĩarahũke, ahurunje thũ ciake; nao arĩa mamũthũire nĩmoore mehere mbere yake.
LET God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him.
2 O ta ũrĩa ndogo yũmbũragwo nĩ rũhuho-rĩ, ũromombũra; o ta ũrĩa mũhũra ũringũkagio nĩ mwaki-rĩ, andũ arĩa aaganu marothira marĩ mbere ya Ngai.
As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
3 No rĩrĩ, arĩa athingu marocanjamũka na makene marĩ mbere ya Ngai; marorũũhia nĩ gũkena.
But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God: yea, let them exceedingly rejoice.
4 Inĩrai Ngai, mũine mũgooce rĩĩtwa rĩake, kumiai ũcio ũhaicaga matu ta mbarathi, rĩĩtwa rĩake nĩ Jehova; gĩcanjamũkei mũrĩ mbere yake.
Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him.
5 Ngai ũrĩa ũikaraga gĩikaro gĩake gĩtheru-rĩ, nĩwe ithe wa ciana cia ngoriai, na mũgitĩri wa atumia a ndigwa.
A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.
6 Ngai nĩatũmaga arĩa maikaraga marĩ oiki magĩe na mĩciĩ, arĩa ohe amohorithagia na akamoimagaria; no andũ arĩa aremi matũũraga bũrũri mũũmũ.
God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.
7 Wee Ngai rĩrĩa woimagarire ũrĩ mbere ya andũ aku, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa watuĩkanĩirie rũngʼũrĩ-inĩ-rĩ,
O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou didst march through the wilderness; (Selah)
8 thĩ nĩyathingithire, narĩo igũrũ rĩkiuria mbura, nĩ ũndũ wa gũũka kwa Ngai, o Ũcio Ngai wa Sinai, na nĩ ũndũ wa gũũka kwa Ngai, Ngai wa Isiraeli.
The earth shook, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God: even Sinai itself was moved at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
9 Wee Ngai-rĩ, nĩwoiririe mbura nyingĩ, ũkĩnyootora bũrũri ũcio wa igai rĩaku ũrĩa wangʼarĩte.
Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, whereby thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary.
10 Andũ aku magĩtũũra kuo, na kuumana na ũingĩ wa indo ciaku, Wee Ngai-rĩ, ũgĩtanahĩra athĩĩni acio.
Thy congregation hath dwelt therein: thou, O God, hast prepared of thy goodness for the poor.
11 Mwathani nĩaheanire ũhoro, nao arĩa maawanĩrĩire maarĩ gĩkundi kĩnene:
The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it.
12 “Athamaki na mbũtũ cia ita moraga na ihenya; nakuo kambĩ-inĩ andũ magayanaga indo cia ndaho.
Kings of armies did flee apace: and she that tarried at home divided the spoil.
13 O na rĩrĩa mũkomete hakuhĩ na mwaki wa gĩikaro kĩa nja, mũhaana o ta mathagu ma ndutura magemetio na betha, nacio njoya ciayo ikagemio na thahabu ĩkũhenia.”
Though ye have lien among the pots, yet shall ye be as the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold.
14 Rĩrĩa Mwene-Hinya-Wothe aahurunjire athamaki bũrũri-inĩ-rĩ, kwahaanaga o ta rĩrĩa tharunji ĩgwĩte kĩrĩma-inĩ gĩa Zalimoni.
When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was white as snow in Salmon.
15 Ĩ irĩma cia Bashani ti irĩma irĩ riiri; irĩma cia Bashani irĩ tũcũmbĩrĩ tũingĩ.
The hill of God is as the hill of Bashan; an high hill as the hill of Bashan.
16 Inyuĩ irĩma ici irĩ tũcũmbĩrĩ tũingĩ-rĩ, mũrarora na ũiru nĩkĩ, kĩrĩma kĩrĩa Ngai athuurĩte gĩtuĩke gĩikaro gĩake, o kũrĩa Jehova we mwene egũtũũra nginya tene?
Why leap ye, ye high hills? this is the hill which God desireth to dwell in; yea, the Lord will dwell in it for ever.
17 Ngaari cia Ngai cia ita nĩ makũmi ma ngiri, na ngiri cia ngiri; Mwathani nĩokĩte arĩ gatagatĩ ga cio oimĩte Kĩrĩma gĩa Sinai, agatoonya handũ hake haamũre.
The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place.
18 Rĩrĩa wambatire igũrũ, nĩwatongoririe arĩa maatahĩtwo mũtongoro-inĩ waku; nĩwamũkĩrire iheo kuuma kũrĩ andũ, o na ũgĩciamũkĩra kuuma kũrĩ andũ arĩa aremi, nĩgeetha Wee, Jehova Ngai, ũtũũre kuo.
Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the Lord God might dwell among them.
19 Goocai Mwathani, o we Mũrungu Mũhonokia witũ, o we ũkuuaga mĩrigo iitũ mũthenya o mũthenya.
Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. (Selah)
20 Ngai witũ nĩ Mũrungu ũhonokanagia; Mwathani Jehova nĩwe rĩũrĩro rĩa kuuma gĩkuũ-inĩ.
He that is our God is the God of salvation; and unto God the Lord belong the issues from death.
21 Ti-itherũ Ngai nĩakamemenda ciongo cia thũ ciake, amemende ruototia rwa arĩa mathiiaga na mbere kwĩhia.
But God shall wound the head of his enemies, and the hairy scalp of such an one as goeth on still in his trespasses.
22 Mwathani ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩngaruta thũ cianyu kuuma Bashani; ndĩcirute iria-inĩ kũrĩa kũriku,
The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring my people again from the depths of the sea:
23 nĩgeetha mũtobokie makinya manyu thakame-inĩ ya thũ cianyu, o nacio nĩmĩ cia ngui cianyu igĩe na igai rĩacio.”
That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thine enemies, and the tongue of thy dogs in the same.
24 Wee Ngai-rĩ, mũtongoro waku nĩwonekete, o mũtongoro wa Mũrungu wakwa na Mũthamaki agĩtoonya handũ-harĩa-haamũre.
They have seen thy goings, O God; even the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary.
25 Aini a nyĩmbo nĩo matongoretie, makarũmĩrĩrwo nĩ ahũũri inanda; hamwe nao nĩ airĩtu arĩa marahũũra tũhembe.
The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after; among them were the damsels playing with timbrels.
26 Goocai Ngai, kĩũngano-inĩ kĩrĩa kĩnene; mũgooce Jehova kĩũngano-inĩ gĩa Isiraeli.
Bless ye God in the congregations, even the Lord, from the fountain of Israel.
27 Mũhĩrĩga ũrĩa mũnini wa Benjamini nĩguo ũcio ũmatongoretie, kĩrĩndĩ kĩnene kĩa athamaki a Juda kĩrĩ ho, na makarũmĩrĩrwo nĩ athamaki a Zebuluni na a Nafitali.
There is little Benjamin with their ruler, the princes of Judah and their council, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali.
28 Wee Ngai-rĩ, onania ũhoti waku; tuonie hinya waku, Wee Ngai, ta ũrĩa waneka.
Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us.
29 Tondũ wa hekarũ yaku ĩrĩa ĩrĩ kũu Jerusalemu-rĩ, athamaki nĩmagakũrehagĩra iheo.
Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents unto thee.
30 Rũithia nyamũ ĩrĩa ĩrĩ ithanjĩ-inĩ, ũkĩrũithie rũũru rwa ndegwa rũrĩa rũrĩ thĩinĩ wa tũcaũ twa ndũrĩrĩ. Ĩkwĩnyiihĩrie, na ĩkũrehere icunjĩ cia betha. Hurunja ndũrĩrĩ iria ikenagĩra mbaara.
Rebuke the company of spearmen, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the people, till every one submit himself with pieces of silver: scatter thou the people that delight in war.
31 Abarũthi nĩmagooka moimĩte bũrũri wa Misiri; naguo bũrũri wa Kushi nĩũkenyiihĩria Ngai.
Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto God.
32 Inĩrai Ngai, inyuĩ mothamaki ma thĩ, inai mũgooce Mwathani,
Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto the Lord; (Selah)
33 ũcio ũthiiaga ahaicĩte matu macio ma igũrũ ma tene, ũcio ũrurumaga na mũgambo mũnene.
To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old; lo, he doth send out his voice, and that a mighty voice.
34 Anĩrĩrai hinya wa Ngai, we ũrĩa ũnene wake arĩ guo ũrũgamĩrĩire Isiraeli, o ũcio ũhoti wake ũrĩ kũu matu-inĩ.
Ascribe ye strength unto God: his excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the clouds.
35 Wee Ngai-rĩ, ũrĩ wa gwĩtigĩrwo, ũrĩ handũ hau haku haamũre; Mũrungu wa Isiraeli nĩaheaga andũ ake ũhoti o na hinya. Ngai arogoocwo!
O God, thou art terrible out of thy holy places: the God of Israel is he that giveth strength and power unto his people. Blessed be God.
