Thaburi 85

1 Thaburi ya Ariũ a Kora Wee Jehova, nĩ wekire bũrũri waku wega; nĩwacookeirie Jakubu ũtonga wake.

For the music director. A psalm of the descendants of Korah Lord, you have shown your kindness to your land; you have restored Jacob's prosperity.

2 Nĩwarekeire andũ aku waganu wao, na ũkĩhumbĩra mehia mao mothe.

You took away your people's guilt; you forgave all their sins. (Selah)

3 Nĩweheririe mangʼũrĩ maku mothe, na ũgĩthirwo nĩ marakara maku mahiũ.

You took back your fury; you turned away from your fierce anger.

4 Tũma tũgaacĩre rĩngĩ, Wee Ngai Mũhonokia witũ, na ũtige gũikara ũtũrakarĩire.

Bring us back to you, God of our salvation! Take away your anger towards us.

5 Ũgũtũũra ũtũrakarĩire nginya tene? Marakara maku megũkinyĩra njiarwa na njiarwa?

Are you going to be furious with us forever? Will you stay angry with us for all future generations?

6 Kaĩ ũtangĩtũrurumũkia ngoro ciitũ, nĩguo andũ aku magũkenere?

Won't you restore our lives so your people can find happiness in you?

7 Wee Jehova-rĩ, tuonie wendo waku ũrĩa ũtathiraga, na ũtũhe ũhonokio waku.

Show us your trustworthy love, Lord! Give us your salvation!

8 Nĩngũthikĩrĩria njigue ũrĩa Mũrungu, o we Jehova, ekuuga; eranagĩra thayũ kũrĩ andũ ake, o acio ake aamũre: no ndũkareke macookerere ũrimũ wao.

Let me hear what God has to say. God speaks peace to his people, to those who trust in him. But they must not return to their foolish ways.

9 Ti-itherũ ũhonokio wake ũrĩ hakuhĩ na arĩa mamwĩtigĩrĩte, nĩgeetha riiri wake ũtũũre bũrũri-inĩ witũ.

Truly God's salvation is with those who do as he says. His glorious presence will live with us in our land.

10 Wendo na wĩhokeku nĩicemanĩtie; ũthingu na thayũ nĩikĩmumunyanĩte.

Trustworthiness and faithful love join together; goodness and peace have kissed each other.

11 Wĩhokeku ũkunũkaga kuuma na thĩ, naguo ũthingu ũcũthagĩrĩrie ũrĩ o igũrũ.

What is true grows up from the earth; what is right looks down from heaven.

12 Ti-itherũ Jehova no aheane kĩndũ o gĩothe kĩega, naguo bũrũri witũ ũciarage magetha maguo.

The Lord will certainly give us all that is good, and our land will produce fine crops.

13 Ũthingu nĩguo ũmũthiiaga mbere, ũkahaaragĩria makinya make njĩra.

Truth and right go ahead of him to prepare a path for him to walk on.
