Yahweh, you have been kind to [us people who live in] this land; you have enabled [us] Israeli people to become prosperous again.

You forgave [us], your people, for the sins that we had committed; you pardoned [us] for all our sins [DOU].

You stopped being angry [with us] and turned away from severely punishing [us].

Now, God, the one who saves/rescues us, (restore us/make us prosperous again) and stop being angry with us!

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

Please enable us [RHQ] to prosper again in order that [we], your people, will rejoice about what you [have done for us].

Yahweh, by rescuing us [from our troubles/difficulties], show us that you faithfully love us.

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

I want to listen to what Yahweh [our] God says, because he promises/says that he will enable [us], his people, to live peacefully, if we do not return to doing foolish things.

He is surely ready to save/rescue those who revere him, in order that [his] glory/splendor will be seen in our land.

10 Wendo na wĩhokeku nĩicemanĩtie; ũthingu na thayũ nĩikĩmumunyanĩte.

[When that happens], he will both faithfully love us and faithfully [do for us what he promised to do] [PRS]; and we will act/behave righteously, and he will give us peace, which will be like a kiss that he gives us.

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

Here on earth, we will (be loyal to/continually believe in) God, and from heaven, God will act justly/fairly [toward us].

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

Yes, Yahweh will do good things [for us], and there will be great harvests in our land.

[Yahweh always acts] righteously [PRS, MET]; he acts righteously wherever he goes.
