Thaburi 95

1 Ũkai, tũinĩre Jehova nĩ gũkena; tũkĩanĩrĩre ũcio Rwaro rwa Ihiga rwa ũhonokio witũ.

Oh come, let’s sing to the LORD. Let’s shout aloud to the rock of our salvation!

2 Nĩtũũkei mbere yake tũgĩcookagia ngaatho, na tũmũinĩre nyĩmbo cia kũmũkumia.

Let’s come before his presence with thanksgiving. Let’s extol him with songs!

3 Nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩ Mũrungu mũnene, o we Mũthamaki mũnene ũkĩrĩte ngai ciothe.

For the LORD is a great God, a great King above all gods.

4 Thĩ kũrĩa kũriku mũno kũrĩ guoko-inĩ gwake, o na tũcũmbĩrĩ twa irĩma no twake.

In his hand are the deep places of the earth. The heights of the mountains are also his.

5 Iria nĩ rĩake, nĩgũkorwo nĩwe warĩũmbire, na moko make nĩmo moombire thĩ nyũmũ.

The sea is his, and he made it. His hands formed the dry land.

6 Ũkai, tũmũinamĩrĩre tũmũhooe, nĩtũturĩrie Jehova o we Mũtũũmbi ndu;

Oh come, let’s worship and bow down. Let’s kneel before the LORD, our Maker,

7 nĩgũkorwo nĩwe Ngai witũ, na ithuĩ tũrĩ andũ a ũrĩithio wake, rũũru rũrĩa we mwene arĩithagia. Ũmũthĩ mũngĩigua mũgambo wake,

for he is our God. We are the people of his pasture, and the sheep in his care. Today, oh that you would hear his voice!

8 mũtikoomie ngoro cianyu ta ũrĩa mwekire mũrĩ Meriba, o na ta ũrĩa mwekire mũthenya ũrĩa mwarĩ Masa kũu werũ-inĩ,

Do not harden your heart, as at Meribah, as in the day of Massah in the wilderness,

9 kũrĩa maithe manyu maangeririe na makĩngararia, o na gũtuĩka nĩmoonete ũrĩa wothe ndaamekĩire.

when your fathers tempted me, tested me, and saw my work.

10 Nĩgũkorwo ndaatũũrĩte ndakarĩire rũciaro rũu mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna; ngiuga atĩrĩ, “Aya nĩ andũ arĩa ngoro ciao ciũrĩte, na nĩmagĩte kũmenya njĩra ciakwa.”

Forty long years I was grieved with that generation, and said, “They are a people who err in their heart. They have not known my ways.”

11 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩĩhĩta ndakarĩte, ngiuga atĩrĩ, “Matirĩ hĩndĩ magaatoonya kĩhurũko-inĩ gĩakwa.”

Therefore I swore in my wrath, “They will not enter into my rest.”
