1 Thaburi ya Asafu Kũu Juda Ngai nĩoĩkaine; rĩĩtwa rĩake nĩ inene thĩinĩ wa Isiraeli.
In Judah [Praised], God is known. His name is great in Israel [God prevails].
2 Hema yake ĩrĩ kũu Salemu, gĩikaro gĩake kĩrĩ Zayuni.
His tabernacle is also in Salem [Complete peace, Perfect peace]; His dwelling place in Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking].
3 Kũu nĩkuo oinangĩire mĩguĩ ya ũta ĩkũhenia, akiunanga ngo na hiũ ciao cia njora, o na indo ciao ciothe cia mbaara.
There he broke the flaming arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the weapons of war. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.
4 Wee ũcangararĩte nĩ ũtheri, ũkagĩa na ũkaru gũkĩra irĩma irĩ na ũtonga wa nyamũ cia iguĩma.
Glorious are you, and excellent, more than mountains of game.
5 Andũ arĩa njamba magwĩte magatunywo indo, magakoma toro wao wa gĩkuũ; gũtirĩ o na ũmwe wa njamba cia ita ũngĩambararia moko make.
Valiant men lie plundered, they have slept their last sleep. None of the men of war can lift 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 your rebuke, God of Jacob [Supplanter], both chariot and horse are cast into a deep sleep.
7 Wee nowe wa gwĩtigĩrwo. Nũũ ũngĩrũgama mbere yaku rĩrĩa ũrĩ mũrakaru?
You, even you, are to be feared. Who can stand in your sight when you are angry?
8 Wamenyithanirie itua rĩaku ũrĩ o kũu igũrũ, nayo thĩ ĩgĩĩtigĩra na ĩgĩkira ki,
You pronounced judgment to be sh'ma ·heard obeyed· from heaven. The earth feared, and was silent,
9 rĩrĩa Wee Ngai, warũgamire ũtuanĩre ciira, nĩguo ũhonokie arĩa othe anyamaarĩku a bũrũri.
when God arose to judgment, to save all the afflicted ones of the earth. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.
10 Ti-itherũ mangʼũrĩ ma andũ nĩmagakũgoocithia, na ũkeyoha matigari ma mangʼũrĩ maku ta mũcibi.
Surely the wrath of man yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to you. The survivors of your wrath are restrained.
11 Mwĩhĩtei mĩĩhĩtwa harĩ Jehova Ngai wanyu na mũmĩhingie; rekei mabũrũri marĩa mothe mũriganĩtie namo marehere ũcio wa gwĩtigĩrwo iheo.
Make vows to Adonai your God, and fulfill them! Let all of his neighbors bring presents to him who is to be feared.
12 Athuthaga roho wa arĩa maathanaga; etigagĩrwo nĩ athamaki a thĩ.
He will cut off the spirit of princes. He is feared by the kings of the earth.
