< Thaburi 104 >

1 Gooca Jehova, wee ngoro yakwa. Wee Jehova Ngai wakwa, Wee ũrĩ mũnene mũno; wĩhumbĩte riiri na ũkaru.
For David himself. Bless the Lord, O my soul: O Lord my God, thou art exceedingly great. Thou hast put on praise and beauty:
2 Ehumbĩte ũtheri taarĩ nguo; we atambũrũkagia igũrũ taarĩ hema,
And art clothed with light as with a garment. Who stretchest out the heaven like a pavilion:
3 na akaara mĩgamba ya tũnyũmba twake twa ngoroba igũrũ rĩa maaĩ. We atũmaga matu matuĩke ngaari yake ya ita, na agakuuo nĩ mathagu ma rũhuho.
Who coverest the higher rooms thereof with water. Who makest the clouds thy chariot: who walkest upon the wings of the winds.
4 Nĩwe ũtũmaga rũhuho rũtuĩke arekio ake, nacio nĩnĩmbĩ cia mwaki agacitua ndungata ciake.
Who makest thy angels spirits: and thy ministers a burning fire.
5 We aahaandire thĩ igũrũ rĩa mĩthingi yayo; ndĩrĩ hĩndĩ ĩngĩenyenyeka.
Who hast founded the earth upon its own bases: it shall not be moved for ever and ever.
6 Wamĩhumbĩrire na iria rĩrĩa inene taarĩ nguo; maaĩ maikarire makunĩkĩire irĩma.
The deep like a garment is its clothing: above the mountains shall the waters stand.
7 No rĩrĩ, wakũũmire maaĩ makĩũra, nacio ngwa ciaku ciagamba magĩĩthara;
At thy rebuke they shall flee: at the voice of thy thunder they shall fear.
8 magĩtherera igũrũ wa irĩma, magĩikũrũka cianda-inĩ, magĩtherera na kũrĩa watuĩte mathiĩ.
The mountains ascend, and the plains descend into the place which thou hast founded for them.
9 Wee nĩwe wekĩrire mũhaka ũrĩa matangĩkĩra; gũtirĩ hĩndĩ magaacooka kũhumbĩra thĩ.
Thou hast set a bound which they shall not pass over; neither shall they return to cover the earth.
10 We atũmaga ithima ciitĩrĩre maaĩ mĩkuru-inĩ; mathereraga gatagatĩ-inĩ ka irĩma.
Thou sendest forth springs in the vales: between the midst of the hills the waters shall pass.
11 Nĩcio iheaga nyamũ ciothe cia gĩthaka maaĩ ma kũnyua; nĩkuo njagĩ cia werũ-inĩ inyootoragĩrwo.
All the beasts of the field shall drink: the wild asses shall expect in their thirst.
12 Nyoni cia rĩera-inĩ ciakaga itara hakuhĩ na maaĩ macio; ciinaga irĩ honge-inĩ cia mĩtĩ.
Over them the birds of the air shall dwell: from the midst of the rocks they shall give forth their voices.
13 We aitagĩrĩria irĩma maaĩ moimĩte nyũmba-inĩ ciake iria irĩ igũrũ; thĩ nĩĩiganagwo nĩ maciaro ma wĩra wake.
Thou waterest the hills from thy upper rooms: the earth shall be filled with the fruit of thy works:
14 We atũmaga nyeki ĩkũre nĩ ũndũ wa kũrĩĩo nĩ mahiũ, na agakũria mĩmera ĩrĩa andũ mahaandaga, tĩĩri-inĩ gũgakiumaga irio:
Bringing forth grass for cattle, and herb for the service of men. That thou mayst bring bread out of the earth:
15 ndibei ĩrĩa ĩkenagia ngoro ya mũndũ na maguta ma gũtũma ũthiũ wake ũkenge, o na irio iria ciĩkagĩra ngoro yake hinya.
And that wine may cheer the heart of man. That he may make the face cheerful with oil: and that bread may strengthen man’s heart.
16 Mĩtĩ ya Jehova nĩyuragĩrio mbura wega, mĩtarakwa ĩyo ya Lebanoni o ĩrĩa aahaandire.
The trees of the field shall be filled, and the cedars of Libanus which he hath planted:
17 Kũu nĩkuo nyoni ciakaga itara ciacio; nayo njũũ, nyũmba yayo ĩrĩ kũu mĩkarakaba-inĩ.
There the sparrows shall make their nests. The highest of them is the house of the heron.
18 Irĩma-inĩ iria ndaaya nĩkuo mbũri cia gĩthaka ciikaraga; mĩatũka-inĩ ya mahiga nĩkuo ikami ciĩhithaga.
The high hills are a refuge for the harts, the rock for the irchins.
19 Mweri nĩguo ũmenyithanagia hĩndĩ ya imera, narĩo riũa nĩrĩmenyaga hĩndĩ yarĩo ya gũthũa.
He hath made the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.
20 Wee nĩwe ũtũmaga kũgĩe nduma, gũgatuĩka ũtukũ, nacio nyamũ ciothe cia gĩthaka ikoimĩra icemeete.
Thou hast appointed darkness, and it is night: in it shall all the beasts of the woods go about:
21 Mĩrũũthi ĩrĩa mĩĩthĩ ĩraramaga ĩkĩhĩta, na ĩgacaria irio ciayo kuuma harĩ Mũrungu.
The young lions roaring after their prey, and seeking their meat from God.
22 Riũa rĩrathaga, nayo ĩgeethiĩra; ĩthiiaga ĩgakoma imamo-inĩ ciayo.
The sun ariseth, and they are gathered together: and they shall lie down in their dens.
23 Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũndũ agathiĩ kũruta wĩra wake, agakĩruta wĩra o nginya hwaĩ-inĩ.
Man shall go forth to his work, and to his labour until the evening.
24 Wee Jehova, kaĩ mawĩra maku nĩ maingĩ-ĩ! Mothe ũmarutĩte na ũũgĩ; nayo thĩ ĩiyũrĩte ciũmbe ciaku.
How great are thy works, O Lord? thou hast made all things in wisdom: the earth is filled with thy riches.
25 Rĩĩrĩa nĩrĩo iria rĩrĩa inene na rĩariĩ, rĩiyũrĩte ciũmbe irĩ muoyo itangĩtarĩka, iria nene na iria nini.
So is this great sea, which stretcheth wide its arms: there are creeping things without number: Creatures little and great.
26 Marikabu nĩkuo igeragĩra igĩthiĩ na igĩcooka, o na nyamũ ĩrĩa ĩĩtagwo Leviathani, ĩrĩa wombire nĩguo ĩtũũhagĩre kuo.
There the ships shall go. This sea dragon which thou hast formed to play therein.
27 Icio ciothe nĩwe icũthagĩrĩria nĩguo ũcihe irio ciacio hĩndĩ ĩrĩa yagĩrĩire.
All expect of thee that thou give them food in season.
28 Na rĩrĩa wacihe irio, cioyaga ikarĩa; rĩrĩa watambũrũkia guoko gwaku, ũcihũũnagia na indo njega.
What thou givest to them they shall gather up: when thou openest thy hand, they shall all be filled with good.
29 Rĩrĩa wahitha ũthiũ waku, inyiitagwo nĩ guoya; rĩrĩa weheria mĩhũmũ yacio, ikuuaga igaacooka rũkũngũ-inĩ.
But if thou turnest away thy face, they shall be troubled: thou shalt take away their breath, and they shall fail, and shall return to their dust.
30 Rĩrĩa watũma Roho waku, ikagĩa kuo, nawe ũkerũhia maũndũ mothe gũkũ thĩ.
Thou shalt send forth thy spirit, and they shall be created: and thou shalt renew the face of the earth.
31 Riiri wa Jehova ũrotũũra nginya tene; Jehova arokenagĩra mawĩra make:
May the glory of the Lord endure for ever: the Lord shall rejoice in his works.
32 o we ũcio ũroraga thĩ, nayo ĩkainaina, o we ũhutagia irĩma, nacio ikoima ndogo.
He looketh upon the earth, and maketh it tremble: he toucheth the mountains, and they smoke.
33 Ngũtũũra nyinagĩra Jehova matukũ mothe ma muoyo wakwa; ndĩrĩinaga ngĩgoocaga Ngai wakwa hĩndĩ ĩrĩa yothe ngũtũũra muoyo.
I will sing to the Lord as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
34 Jehova arokenio nĩ mecũũrania makwa, rĩrĩa ndĩrĩkenaga nĩ ũndũ wake.
Let my speech be acceptable to him: but I will take delight in the Lord.
35 No rĩrĩ, ehia maroniinwo kuuma thĩ, na andũ arĩa aaganu mathire biũ. Wee ngoro yakwa, gooca Jehova. Goocai Jehova.
Let sinners be consumed out of the earth, and the unjust, so that they be no more: O my soul, bless thou the Lord.
