5 Aaheire Jakubu mawatho, na akĩhaanda watho thĩinĩ wa Isiraeli, ũrĩa aathire maithe maitũ atĩ maũrutage ciana ciao,
And he established a testimony - in Jacob and a law he appointed in Israel which he commanded ancestors our to make known them to children their.
6 nĩguo rũciaro rũrĩa rũgooka thuutha rũkaamenya watho ũcio, o hamwe na ciana iria itaciarĩtwo, nĩguo nacio ikeera ciana ciacio.
So that they may know - a generation later children [who] they will be born they will arise and may they recount [them] to children their.
7 Hĩndĩ ĩyo ciĩhoke Ngai na ciage kũriganĩrwo nĩ ciĩko ciake, no kũrũmia irũmagie maathani make.
So they may put in God confidence their and not they will forget [the] deeds of God and commandments his they will observe.

And not they will be - like ancestors their a generation stubborn and rebellious a generation [which] not it directed heart its and [which] not it was faithful with God spirit its.
9 Andũ a Efiraimu, o na maarĩ na mota ma kũrũa, nĩmahũndũkire mũthenya ũrĩa wa mbaara;
[the] people of Ephraim [were] equipped of shooters of a bow they turned back on [the] day of battle.
10 matiarũmirie kĩrĩkanĩro kĩao na Ngai, na nĩmaregire kũrũmĩrĩra watho wake.
Not they kept [the] covenant of God and in law his they refused to walk.
11 Nĩmariganĩirwo nĩ maũndũ marĩa ekĩte, na makĩriganĩrwo nĩ magegania marĩa aamonetie.
And they forgot deeds his and wonders his which he had shown them.

And he brought out streams from a rock and he made to flow down like rivers water.
17 No-o maathiire o na mbere kwĩhĩria Ngai, magĩkĩremera Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno marĩ kũu werũ-inĩ.
And they repeated again to sin to him by rebelling against [the] Most High in the dry region.
18 Nao makĩgeria Mũrungu makĩendaga, na ũndũ wa gwĩtia irio iria meeriragĩria kũrĩa.
And they put to [the] test God in heart their by requesting food for selves their.
19 Magĩũkĩrĩra Ngai na mĩario, makĩũrania atĩrĩ, “Mũrungu no ahote kwara metha werũ-inĩ?
And they spoke against God they said ¿ is he able God to arrange a table in the wilderness.
20 Rĩrĩa aagũthire ihiga, maaĩ nĩmatothokire boo, natuo tũrũũĩ tũgĩtherera tũiyũrĩte maaĩ maingĩ. No rĩrĩ, no ahote gũtũhe o na irio? No ahe andũ ake nyama?”
There! he struck a rock - and they flowed out waters and torrents they overflowed ¿ also food is he able to give or? will he prepare meat for people his.
21 Rĩrĩa Jehova aiguire ũguo, akĩrakara; agĩtharĩkĩra Jakubu na mwaki wake, namo mangʼũrĩ make magĩũkĩrĩra Isiraeli,
Therefore - he heard Yahweh and he was furious and fire it was kindled in Jacob and also anger it went up in Israel.
22 nĩgũkorwo matiigana gwĩtĩkia Ngai, kana kwĩhoka ũhonokania wake.
For not they trusted in God and not they trusted in salvation his.
23 No rĩrĩ, we nĩathire matu ma igũrũ na akĩhingũra mĩrango ya igũrũ;
And he commanded clouds above and [the] doors of heaven he opened.

26 O na ningĩ akĩerekeria rũhuho rwa mwena wa irathĩro kuuma igũrũ, na akĩrehithia rũhuho rwa mwena wa gũthini na ũndũ wa hinya wake.
He led out an east wind in the heavens and he led forth by strength his a south wind.
27 Akĩmaharũrũkĩria nyama nyingĩ ta rũkũngũ, nyoni cia rĩera-inĩ ciaingĩhĩte ta mũthanga wa iria-inĩ.

And he made [them] fall in [the] midst of camp his around dwelling his.
29 Maarĩire o nginya makĩhũũna, nĩgũkorwo aamaheire kĩrĩa merirĩirie kũrĩa.

31 marakara ma Ngai makĩmokĩrĩra; akĩũraga arĩa maarĩ na hinya mũno gatagatĩ kao, akĩniina andũ ethĩ a Isiraeli.
And [the] anger of God - it went up in them and he killed among vigorous ones their and [the] young men of Israel he made bow down.
32 O na amekĩte ũguo wothe-rĩ, mathiire o na mbere kwĩhia; o na ekĩte magegania make, matiamwĩtĩkirie.
In all this they sinned again and not they believed in wonders his.
33 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩtũma matukũ mao mathire o ũguo tũhũ, na mĩaka yao ĩgĩthira nĩ ihooru rĩa kũmaka.
And he brought to an end in futility days their and years their in sudden terror.
34 Rĩrĩa rĩothe Mũrungu ooraga amwe ao nĩmamũmaathaga; mamũrongoragia na makamũcookerera na kĩyo.
If he killed them and they sought him and they returned and they sought earnestly God.
35 Nao makaririkana atĩ Ngai nĩwe warĩ Rwaro rwao rwa Ihiga, na atĩ Mũrungu Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno nĩwe warĩ Mũkũũri wao.
And they remembered that God [was] rock their and God Most High [was] redeemer their.
36 No-o makeyendithĩrĩria harĩ we na tũnua twao, makamũheenagia na nĩmĩ ciao;
And they deceived him with mouth their and with tongue their they lied to him.
37 ngoro ciao itiarĩ njĩhokeku kũrĩ we, na matiarĩ eehokeku harĩ kĩrĩkanĩro gĩake.
And heart their not [was] steadfast with him and not they were faithful in covenant his.
38 Nowe no aaiyũrĩtwo nĩ tha; akĩmarekera waganu wao, na ndaigana kũmaniina. Kaingĩ na kaingĩ nĩagiragĩrĩria marakara make, na ndaigana kwarahũra mangʼũrĩ make mothe.
And he [was] compassionate - he atoned for iniquity and not he destroyed [them] and he increased to turn back anger his and not he stirred up all rage his.
39 Nĩaaririkanire atĩ maarĩ o andũ tu, karũhuho karĩa kahĩtũkaga na gaticooke rĩngĩ.
And he remembered that [were] flesh they a wind [which] goes and not it returns.
40 Nĩ maita maingĩ atĩa maamũremagĩra marĩ kũu werũ-inĩ, na makamũiguithia kĩeha marĩ kũu rũngʼũrĩ-inĩ.
How often! they rebelled against him in the wilderness they grieved him in a desolate place.
41 Mahinda maingĩ nĩmageririe Mũrungu; maathirĩkirie Ũrĩa-Mũtheru-wa-Isiraeli.
And they returned and they put to [the] test God and [the] holy [one] of Israel they pained.
42 Matiaririkanire ũhoti wake: mũthenya ũrĩa aamakũũrire kuuma kũrĩ arĩa maamahinyagĩrĩria,
Not they remembered hand his [the] day when he ransomed them from [the] opponent.

He made level a path for anger his not he kept back from death life their and life their to the pestilence he delivered up.

And he struck down every firstborn in Egypt [the] beginning of manly vigor in [the] tents of Ham.

And they put to [the] test and they rebelled against God Most High and testimonies his not they kept.

And they turned back and they acted treacherously like ancestors their they changed like a bow of deceit.
58 Nĩmamũrakaririe nĩ ũndũ wa gũkorwo na kũndũ kwao gũtũũgĩru gwa kũhooyagĩra; makĩarahũra ũiru wake nĩ ũndũ wa mĩhianano yao.
