1 Ũkai, tũinĩre Jehova nĩ gũkena; tũkĩanĩrĩre ũcio Rwaro rwa Ihiga rwa ũhonokio witũ.
Come, let us make a joyful noise to Yahweh, Let us shout in triumph, to the rock of our salvation!
2 Nĩtũũkei mbere yake tũgĩcookagia ngaatho, na tũmũinĩre nyĩmbo cia kũmũkumia.
O let us come before his face with thanksgiving, With the sounds of strings, let us shout aloud to him.
3 Nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩ Mũrungu mũnene, o we Mũthamaki mũnene ũkĩrĩte ngai ciothe.
For, a great GOD, is Yahweh, And a great king, above all gods.
4 Thĩ kũrĩa kũriku mũno kũrĩ guoko-inĩ gwake, o na tũcũmbĩrĩ twa irĩma no twake.
In whose hand, are the hidden recesses of the earth, And, the peaks of the mountains, are his;
5 Iria nĩ rĩake, nĩgũkorwo nĩwe warĩũmbire, na moko make nĩmo moombire thĩ nyũmũ.
Whose, is the sea, for, he, made it, And, the dry land, his hands, did form.
6 Ũkai, tũmũinamĩrĩre tũmũhooe, nĩtũturĩrie Jehova o we Mũtũũmbi ndu;
Enter! let us bow down, and bend low, Let us kneel, before Yahweh 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, And, we, are the people of his pasture, and the flock of his hand? To-day, if, to his voice, ye will hearken,
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 on the day of Massah, in the desert;
9 kũrĩa maithe manyu maangeririe na makĩngararia, o na gũtuĩka nĩmoonete ũrĩa wothe ndaamekĩire.
When your fathers, tested me, They proved me, yea they also saw what I could do.
10 Nĩgũkorwo ndaatũũrĩte ndakarĩire rũciaro rũu mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna; ngiuga atĩrĩ, “Aya nĩ andũ arĩa ngoro ciao ciũrĩte, na nĩmagĩte kũmenya njĩra ciakwa.”
Forty years, loathed I that generation, So I said—A people going astray in heart, they are, Even they, have not known my ways!
11 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩĩhĩta ndakarĩte, ngiuga atĩrĩ, “Matirĩ hĩndĩ magaatoonya kĩhurũko-inĩ gĩakwa.”
And I sware in mine anger, —Verily they shall not enter into my rest.
