< Psalms 10 >
1 Why, O LORD, do You stand far off? Why do You hide in times of trouble?
Onyenwe anyị, gịnị mere i ji na-eguzoro onwe gị nʼebe dị anya? Gịnị mere ị na-ezo onwe gị nʼoge nsogbu?
2 In pride the wicked pursue the needy; let them be caught in the schemes they devise.
Site na mpako, onye ajọ omume na-emegbu ndị na-adịghị ike, ndị mpịa mpịa aghụghọ ya mara dịka ọnya.
3 For the wicked man boasts in the cravings of his heart; he blesses the greedy and reviles the LORD.
Ọ na-anya isi banyere ọchịchọ niile nke obi ya, ọ na-elelị Onyenwe anyị anya ma na-agọzi ndị oke ọchịchọ.
4 In his pride the wicked man does not seek Him; in all his schemes there is no God.
Nʼọnọdụ mpako ya, onye ajọ omume anaghị achọ Chineke, nʼechiche ya niile, ọ naghị eche banyere ya.
5 He is secure in his ways at all times; Your lofty judgments are far from him; he sneers at all his foes.
Ma ihe niile ọ na-eme na-agara ya nke ọma; ọ bụ onye na-ebuli onwe ya elu, iwu gị niile dịkwa anya site nʼebe ọ nọ; ọ na-elelị ndị iro ya niile.
6 He says to himself, “I will not be moved; from age to age I am free of distress.”
Nʼime obi ya, ọ na-asị, “Ọ dịghị ihe ga-emetụta m. Aga m anọ nʼọnọdụ ọṅụ mgbe niile. Nsogbu ọbụla agaghị adakwasị m.”
7 His mouth is full of cursing, deceit, and violence; trouble and malice are under his tongue.
Ọnụ ya jupụtara nʼokwu ụgha na ịba mba ime ihe ọjọọ, nʼokpuru ire ya ka nsogbu na ajọ ihe dịkwa.
8 He lies in wait near the villages; in ambush he slays the innocent; his eyes watch in stealth for the helpless.
Ha na-ezo onwe ha nʼobodo nta dị iche iche, nʼebe zooro ezo ka ha na-anọ, na-eche itigbu ndị aka ha dị ọcha.
9 He lies in wait like a lion in a thicket; he lurks to seize the oppressed; he catches the lowly in his net.
Dịka ọdụm, ha anaghị eme mkpọtụ ọbụla, ọ na-eche ịdakwasị ụmụ ogbenye. Dịka ndị bụ dinta si ejide ụmụ anụmanụ nʼọnya ha siri, otu a ka ha si ejide ụmụ ogbenye.
10 They are crushed and beaten down; the hapless fall prey to his strength.
Ụmụ ogbenye ndị a na-ada nʼala nʼihi ịdị ike ya, ọ na-azọpịakwa ha.
11 He says to himself, “God has forgotten; He hides His face and never sees.”
Nʼime obi ya, ọ na-asị, “Chineke echefuola. O zofuola ihu ya, ọ dịghị mgbe ọ hụrụ ya.”
12 Arise, O LORD! Lift up Your hand, O God! Do not forget the helpless.
Bilie O Onyenwe anyị! O Chineke welie aka gị, echefukwala ndị na-enweghị onye inyeaka.
13 Why has the wicked man renounced God? He says to himself, “You will never call me to account.”
Gịnị mere onye ajọ omume ji na-eleda Chineke anya? Gịnị mere o ji na-asị nʼime obi ya, “Ọ gaghị akpọ m ka m zaa ajụjụ banyere omume m”?
14 But You have regarded trouble and grief; You see to repay it by Your hand. The victim entrusts himself to You; You are the helper of the fatherless.
Ma gị, O Chineke, ị na-ahụ nsogbu na ihe mwute, ị na-atule ihe ị ga-eme banyere ha. Ndị a na-emegbu na-atụkwasị gị obi, nʼihi na ị bụ onye inyeaka ndị na-enweghị nna.
15 Break the arm of the wicked and evildoer; call him to account for his wickedness until none is left to be found.
Gbajie aka onye ajọ omume a na-eme ihe ọjọọ, kpọọ ya ka ọ zaa ajụjụ banyere ajọ omume ya niile nke a na-apụghị ịchọpụta.
16 The LORD is King forever and ever; the nations perish from His land.
Onyenwe anyị bụ eze ruo mgbe ebighị ebi. Ọ ga-esite nʼala ya kpochapụ mba niile.
17 You have heard, O LORD, the desire of the humble; You will strengthen their hearts. You will incline Your ear,
O Onyenwe anyị, ị maara ọchịchọ obi ndị niile a na-akpagbu; ị na-ege ntị na mkpu akwa ha ma kasịekwa ha obi,
18 to vindicate the fatherless and oppressed, that the men of the earth may strike terror no more.
Ị na-echedo ndị na-enweghị nna na ndị niile a na-emegbu emegbu, ka mmadụ efu, onye e kere eke, ghara imenye ha egwu ọzọ.
