Unto the end. For the wine and oil presses. A Psalm of Asaph himself. Exult before God our helper. Sing joyfully to the God of Jacob.
2 Ambĩrĩriai kũina, hũũrai kĩhembe, na mũhũũre kĩnanda kĩa mũgeeto kĩrĩa kĩgambi wega, o na gĩa kĩnũbi.
Take up a psalm, and bring forth the timbrel: a pleasing Psalter with stringed instruments.
3 Huhai coro hĩndĩ ya Karũgamo ka Mweri, na ningĩ rĩrĩa mweri waiganana, mũthenya ũrĩa wa Gĩathĩ giitũ;
Sound the trumpet at the new moon, on the noteworthy day of your solemnity,
4 ũyũ nĩ watho wa kĩrĩra gĩa kũrũmĩrĩrwo kũrĩ Isiraeli, o guo watho wa Ngai wa Jakubu.
for it is a precept in Israel and a judgment for the God of Jacob.
5 We nĩaũhaandire ũtuĩke kĩrĩra harĩ Jusufu hĩndĩ ĩrĩa aathiire gũtharĩkĩra bũrũri wa Misiri, kũrĩa twaiguire mwario tũtaamenyire.
He set it as a testimony with Joseph, when he went out of the land of Egypt. He heard a tongue that he did not know.
6 Ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩndeheririe mũrigo kuuma ciande-inĩ ciao; moko mao nĩndameheririe kuuma thĩinĩ wa gĩkabũ.
He turned the burdens away from his back. His hands had been a slave to baskets.
7 Wangaĩire ũrĩ na mĩnyamaro na niĩ ngĩkũhatũra, ngĩgwĩtĩka ndĩ thĩinĩ wa mũrurumo wa ngwa; ndakũgeririe ũrĩ kũu maaĩ-inĩ ma Meriba.
You called upon me in tribulation, and I freed you. I heard you within the hidden tempest. I tested you with waters of contradiction.
8 “Inyuĩ andũ akwa, iguai ngĩmũkaania, naarĩ korwo no mũũthikĩrĩrie, inyuĩ Isiraeli!
My people, listen and I will call you to testify. If, O Israel, you will pay heed to me,
9 Mũtikanagĩe na ngai ngʼeni gatagatĩ-inĩ kanyu; mũtikanainamĩrĩre ngai ya kũngĩ.
then there will be no new god among you, nor will you adore a foreign god.
10 Nĩ niĩ Jehova Ngai waku, ũrĩa wakũrutire bũrũri wa Misiri. Athamia kanua gaku na nĩngũkũhe gĩa kũrĩa.
For I am the Lord your God, who led you out of the land of Egypt. Widen your mouth, and I will fill it.
11 “No andũ akwa matiigana gũũthikĩrĩria; Isiraeli ndaigana kũnjathĩkĩra.
But my people did not hear my voice, and Israel was not attentive to me.
12 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩmarekereria marũmĩrĩre ũremi wa ngoro ciao, na marũmagĩrĩre mwĩĩro wao ene.
And so, I sent them away, according to the desires of their heart. They will go forth according to their own inventions.
13 “Korwo andũ akwa no maathikĩrĩrie, korwo Isiraeli no marũmĩrĩre njĩra ciakwa,
If my people had heard me, if Israel had walked in my ways,
14 ndamatooreria thũ ciao o na ihenya, na njũkĩrĩre andũ arĩa marĩ muku nao na ũndũ wa guoko gwakwa!
I would have humbled their enemies, as if it were nothing, and I would have sent my hand upon those who troubled them.
15 Andũ arĩa mathũire Jehova mangĩĩthuna marĩ mbere yake, na iherithia rĩao rĩtũũre nginya tene.
The enemies of the Lord have lied to him, and their time will come, in every age.
16 No inyuĩ ingĩmũhe ngano ĩrĩa njega mũno mũrĩĩage; ingĩmũhũũnagia na ũũkĩ wa kuuma rwaro-inĩ rwa ihiga.”
And he fed them from the fat of the grain, and he saturated them with honey from the rock.
