< Psalms 43 >
1 Vindicate me, O God, and plead my case against an ungodly nation; deliver me from deceitful and unjust men.
O Chineke, kpepụta m, kpechitere m ikpe m nʼebe mba na-amaghị Chineke nọ; gbapụta m site nʼaka ndị ajọ omume na ndị aghụghọ.
2 For You are the God of my refuge. Why have You rejected me? Why must I walk in sorrow because of the enemy’s oppression?
Ị bụ Chineke, ebe m e wusiri ike. Gịnị mere i ji jụ m? Gịnị mere m ga-eji na-ejegharị nʼiru ụjụ, nʼihi mmegbu nke onye iro?
3 Send out Your light and Your truth; let them lead me. Let them bring me to Your holy mountain, and to the place where You dwell.
Zipụ ìhè gị na eziokwu gị, ka ha duo m; ka ha kpọbata m nʼugwu nsọ gị, bụ ebe i bi.
4 Then I will go to the altar of God, to God, my greatest joy. I will praise You with the harp, O God, my God.
Mgbe ahụ, aga m aga nʼebe ịchụ aja Chineke, gakwuru Chineke, bụ ọṅụ m na obi ụtọ m. Aga m eji ụbọ akwara too gị, O Chineke, bụ Chineke m.
5 Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why the unease within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him, my Savior and my God.
O mkpụrụobi m, gịnị mere i ji daa mba? Gịnị mere i ji na-asụ ude nʼime m? Nwee olileanya na Chineke, nʼihi na m ka ga-eto ya ọzọ, onye Nzọpụta m na Chineke m.
