Thaburi 8

1 Thaburi ya Daudi Wee Jehova, o Wee Mwathani witũ, kaĩ rĩĩtwa rĩaku nĩ inene gũkũ thĩ yothe-ĩ! Nĩũigĩte riiri waku o igũrũ matu-inĩ.

Adonai, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth, who has set your glory above the heavens!

2 Nĩũtũmĩte rũgooco ruume tũnua-inĩ twa ciana na twa ngenge, nĩ tondũ wa thũ ciaku, nĩguo ũkirie ũrĩa ũrĩ muku nawe o na mwĩrĩhĩria.

From the lips of babes and infants you have established strength, because of your adversaries, that you might silence the enemy and the avenger.

3 Rĩrĩa ndecũũrania ũhoro ũkoniĩ igũrũ rĩu rĩaku, ngoona wĩra wa ciara ciaku, mweri na njata icio wĩkĩrĩte kuo-rĩ,

When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have ordained;

4 mũndũ akĩrĩ kĩ tondũ ũikaraga ũkĩmwĩciiragia, nake mũrũ wa mũndũ akĩrĩ kĩ atĩ nĩkĩo ũmũmenyagĩrĩra?

what is man, that you think of him? What is the son of man, that you care for him?

5 Watũmire atigie o hanini aiganane nawe, na ũkĩmũhumba thũmbĩ ya riiri o na gĩtĩĩo.

For you have made him a little lower than the angels, and crowned him with glory and honor.

6 Wamũtuire wa gwathaga mawĩra ma moko maku; ũkĩiga indo ciothe rungu rwa makinya make:

You make him ruler over the works of your hands. You have put all things under his feet:

7 ndũũru ciothe cia mbũri na cia ngʼombe, na nyamũ cia gĩthaka,

All sheep and cattle, yes, and the animals of the field,

8 na nyoni cia rĩera-inĩ, na thamaki cia iria-inĩ, na kĩrĩa gĩothe kĩgeragĩra kũu iria-inĩ thĩinĩ.

The birds of the sky, the fish of the sea, and whatever passes through the paths of the seas.

9 Wee Jehova, o Wee Mwathani witũ, kaĩ rĩĩtwa rĩaku nĩ inene gũkũ thĩ yothe-ĩ!

Adonai, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
