Thaburi 76

1 Thaburi ya Asafu Kũu Juda Ngai nĩoĩkaine; rĩĩtwa rĩake nĩ inene thĩinĩ wa Isiraeli.

Unto the end, in praises, a psalm for Asaph: a canticle to the Assyrians. In Judea God is known: his name is great in Israel.

2 Hema yake ĩrĩ kũu Salemu, gĩikaro gĩake kĩrĩ Zayuni.

And his place is in peace: and his abode in Sion:

3 Kũu nĩkuo oinangĩire mĩguĩ ya ũta ĩkũhenia, akiunanga ngo na hiũ ciao cia njora, o na indo ciao ciothe cia mbaara.

There hath he broken the powers of bows, the shield, the sword, and the battie.

4 Wee ũcangararĩte nĩ ũtheri, ũkagĩa na ũkaru gũkĩra irĩma irĩ na ũtonga wa nyamũ cia iguĩma.

Thou enlightenest wonderfully from the everlasting hills.

5 Andũ arĩa njamba magwĩte magatunywo indo, magakoma toro wao wa gĩkuũ; gũtirĩ o na ũmwe wa njamba cia ita ũngĩambararia moko make.

All the foolish of heart were troubled. They have slept their sleep; and all the men of riches have found nothing in their hands.

6 Nĩ ũndũ wa ikũũma rĩaku, Wee Ngai wa Jakubu, mbarathi o ũndũ ũmwe na ngaari cia ita igwĩte thĩ ikaaga kwĩigua.

At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, they have all slumbered that mounted on horseback.

7 Wee nowe wa gwĩtigĩrwo. Nũũ ũngĩrũgama mbere yaku rĩrĩa ũrĩ mũrakaru?

Thou art terrible, and who shall resist thee? from that time thy wrath.

8 Wamenyithanirie itua rĩaku ũrĩ o kũu igũrũ, nayo thĩ ĩgĩĩtigĩra na ĩgĩkira ki,

Thou hast caused judgment to be heard from heaven: the earth trembled and was still,

9 rĩrĩa Wee Ngai, warũgamire ũtuanĩre ciira, nĩguo ũhonokie arĩa othe anyamaarĩku a bũrũri.

When God arose in judgment, to save all the meek of the earth.

10 Ti-itherũ mangʼũrĩ ma andũ nĩmagakũgoocithia, na ũkeyoha matigari ma mangʼũrĩ maku ta mũcibi.

For the thought of man shall give praise to thee: and the remainders of the thought shall keep holiday to thee.

11 Mwĩhĩtei mĩĩhĩtwa harĩ Jehova Ngai wanyu na mũmĩhingie; rekei mabũrũri marĩa mothe mũriganĩtie namo marehere ũcio wa gwĩtigĩrwo iheo.

Vow ye, and pay to the Lord your God: all you that are round about him bring presents. To him that is terrible,

12 Athuthaga roho wa arĩa maathanaga; etigagĩrwo nĩ athamaki a thĩ.

Even to him who taketh away the spirit of princes: to the terrible with the kings of the earth.
