< Thaburi 97 >
1 Jehova nĩarathamaka, thĩ nĩĩgĩkene; mabũrũri marĩa marĩ ndwere-inĩ cia iria nĩmacanjamũke.
Jehovah reigneth: let the earth be glad, let the many isles rejoice.
2 Athiũrũrũkĩirio nĩ matu na nduma ndumanu; ũthingu na kĩhooto nĩcio mũthingi wa gĩtĩ gĩake kĩa ũnene.
Clouds and darkness are round about him; righteousness and judgment are the foundation of his throne.
3 Mwaki ũmũthiiaga mbere ũgĩcinaga thũ ciake na mĩena yothe.
A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his adversaries round about.
4 Heni ciake imũrĩkaga thĩ yothe; thĩ ĩcionaga ĩkainaina.
His lightnings lightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled.
5 Irĩma itwekaga o ta mũhũra mbere ya Jehova, igatweka irĩ mbere ya Mwathani wa thĩ yothe.
The mountains melted like wax at the presence of Jehovah, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
6 Igũrũ rĩanagĩrĩra ũthingu wake, nao andũ othe makoona riiri wake.
The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the peoples see his glory.
7 Andũ arĩa othe mahooyaga mĩhianano mĩicũhie nĩmaconorithagio, acio meerahaga na mĩhianano: inyuĩ ngai ici, mũinamĩrĩrei mũmũhooe.
Ashamed be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols. Worship him, all ye gods.
8 Zayuni ĩiguaga ũguo ĩgakena, namo matũũra ma Juda magacanjamũka, tondũ wa matuĩro maku ma ciira, Wee Jehova.
Zion heard, and rejoiced; and the daughters of Judah were glad, because of thy judgments, O Jehovah.
9 Nĩgũkorwo Wee Jehova, nĩwe Ũrĩa-Ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno wa thĩ yothe; wee nĩũtũũgĩrĩtio mũno igũrũ rĩa ngai ciothe.
For thou, Jehovah, art the Most High above all the earth; thou art exalted exceedingly above all gods.
10 Arĩa endi Jehova nĩmathũũre ũũru, nĩgũkorwo nĩagitagĩra mĩoyo ya arĩa ake ehokeku, na akamateithũra kuuma moko-inĩ ma arĩa aaganu.
Ye that love Jehovah, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints, he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.
11 Ũtheri nĩwarĩire arĩa athingu na arĩa arũngĩrĩru ngoro makaiyũrwo nĩ gĩkeno.
Light is sown for the righteous, and joy for the upright in heart.
12 Kenerai Jehova, inyuĩ arĩa athingu, mũkĩgooce rĩĩtwa rĩake rĩamũre.
Rejoice in Jehovah, ye righteous; and give thanks in remembrance of his holiness.
