Thaburi 95
1 Ũkai, tũinĩre Jehova nĩ gũkena; tũkĩanĩrĩre ũcio Rwaro rwa Ihiga rwa ũhonokio witũ.
Come, let's sing for joy to the Lord! Let's shout in triumph to the rock of our salvation!
2 Nĩtũũkei mbere yake tũgĩcookagia ngaatho, na tũmũinĩre nyĩmbo cia kũmũkumia.
Let's go before him with thanksgiving! Let's sing loudly to him in celebration!
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.
He rules over the depths of the earth and the heights of the mountains.
5 Iria nĩ rĩake, nĩgũkorwo nĩwe warĩũmbire, na moko make nĩmo moombire thĩ nyũmũ.
The sea is his, because he made it; the dry land, because he formed it.
6 Ũkai, tũmũinamĩrĩre tũmũhooe, nĩtũturĩrie Jehova o we Mũtũũmbi ndu;
Come, let's enter in and worship, let's kneel before the Lord our Creator.
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, and we are the people he looks after like a shepherd, the flock he cares for. If you hear his voice calling you today,
8 mũtikoomie ngoro cianyu ta ũrĩa mwekire mũrĩ Meriba, o na ta ũrĩa mwekire mũthenya ũrĩa mwarĩ Masa kũu werũ-inĩ,
don't have a hard-hearted attitude, “as you did at Meribah, as you did that day at Massah in the desert,
9 kũrĩa maithe manyu maangeririe na makĩngararia, o na gũtuĩka nĩmoonete ũrĩa wothe ndaamekĩire.
when your forefathers provoked me, testing my patience, even though they had seen everything I'd done.
10 Nĩgũkorwo ndaatũũrĩte ndakarĩire rũciaro rũu mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna; ngiuga atĩrĩ, “Aya nĩ andũ arĩa ngoro ciao ciũrĩte, na nĩmagĩte kũmenya njĩra ciakwa.”
For forty years I was disgusted with that generation, and I said, ‘They are people who are unfaithful to me in their minds, and they refuse to accept my ways.’
11 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩĩhĩta ndakarĩte, ngiuga atĩrĩ, “Matirĩ hĩndĩ magaatoonya kĩhurũko-inĩ gĩakwa.”
So in my frustration I vowed, ‘They will certainly not enter my rest.’”
