Thaburi 97
1 Jehova nĩarathamaka, thĩ nĩĩgĩkene; mabũrũri marĩa marĩ ndwere-inĩ cia iria nĩmacanjamũke.
The LORD reigneth, let the earth rejoice! Let the multitude of isles be glad!
2 Athiũrũrũkĩirio nĩ matu na nduma ndumanu; ũthingu na kĩhooto nĩcio mũthingi wa gĩtĩ gĩake kĩa ũnene.
Clouds and darkness are round about him; Justice and equity are the foundation of his throne.
3 Mwaki ũmũthiiaga mbere ũgĩcinaga thũ ciake na mĩena yothe.
Before him goeth a fire, Which burneth up his enemies around.
4 Heni ciake imũrĩkaga thĩ yothe; thĩ ĩcionaga ĩkainaina.
His lightnings illumine the world; The earth beholdeth and trembleth.
5 Irĩma itwekaga o ta mũhũra mbere ya Jehova, igatweka irĩ mbere ya Mwathani wa thĩ yothe.
The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the LORD, 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 nations behold his glory.
7 Andũ arĩa othe mahooyaga mĩhianano mĩicũhie nĩmaconorithagio, acio meerahaga na mĩhianano: inyuĩ ngai ici, mũinamĩrĩrei mũmũhooe.
Confounded be they who worship graven images, Who glory in idols! To him, all ye gods, bow down!
8 Zayuni ĩiguaga ũguo ĩgakena, namo matũũra ma Juda magacanjamũka, tondũ wa matuĩro maku ma ciira, Wee Jehova.
Zion hath heard, and is glad, And the daughters of Judah exult On account of thy judgments, O LORD!
9 Nĩgũkorwo Wee Jehova, nĩwe Ũrĩa-Ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno wa thĩ yothe; wee nĩũtũũgĩrĩtio mũno igũrũ rĩa ngai ciothe.
For thou, O LORD! art most high above all the earth; Thou art far exalted 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 the LORD, hate evil! He preserveth the lives of his servants, And delivereth them from 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, O ye righteous, in the LORD, And praise his holy name!
