< Psalms 89 >
1 A Maskil of Ethan the Ezrahite. I will sing of the loving devotion of the LORD forever; with my mouth I will proclaim Your faithfulness to all generations.
Abụ maskil nke Etan, onye Ezra. Aga m abụ abụ banyere oke ịhụnanya Onyenwe anyị ruo mgbe ebighị ebi; aga m eji ọnụ m mee ka ọgbọ niile mara maka ikwesi ntụkwasị obi gị.
2 For I have said, “Loving devotion is built up forever; in the heavens You establish Your faithfulness.”
Aga m ekwupụta na ịhụnanya gị na-adịgide ruo mgbe ebighị ebi; na i mere ka ikwesi ntụkwasị obi gị, guzosie ike nʼeluigwe.
3 You said, “I have made a covenant with My chosen one, I have sworn to David My servant:
Onyenwe anyị sịrị, “Mụ na onye m họpụtara agbaala ndụ. Aṅụọkwala m iyi nye ohu m Devid sị,
4 ‘I will establish your offspring forever and build up your throne for all generations.’”
‘Aga m eme ka agbụrụ gị guzosie ike ruo mgbe ebighị ebi meekwa ka ocheeze gị dịgide ruo ọgbọ niile.’” (Sela)
5 The heavens praise Your wonders, O LORD— Your faithfulness as well— in the assembly of the holy ones.
O Onyenwe anyị, eluigwe na-eto ọrụ ebube gị niile, na ikwesi ntụkwasị obi gị, nʼetiti nzukọ ndị dị nsọ.
6 For who in the skies can compare with the LORD? Who among the heavenly beings is like the LORD?
Nʼihi, ọ bụ onye nʼeluigwe niile, ka a ga-eji tụnyere Onyenwe anyị? Onye yiri Onyenwe anyị nʼetiti ndị mmụọ ozi niile?
7 In the council of the holy ones, God is greatly feared, and awesome above all who surround Him.
Na nzukọ ndị nsọ, Chineke bụ onye a na-atụ oke egwu; ọ dị oke egwu karịa ndị niile gbara ya gburugburu.
8 O LORD God of Hosts, who is like You? O mighty LORD, Your faithfulness surrounds You.
O Onyenwe anyị Chineke Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, onye dịka gị? Gị, O Onyenwe anyị, dị ike nke ukwuu, ikwesi ntụkwasị obi gị na-agba gị gburugburu.
9 You rule the raging sea; when its waves mount up, You still them.
Ị na-achị osimiri nke ji ike na-asọ; mgbe ebili mmiri ya na-amali elu; i na-eme ka ha dajụọ.
10 You crushed Rahab like a carcass; You scattered Your enemies with Your mighty arm.
Ị zọpịara Rehab dịka otu nʼime ndị ahụ e gburu egbu; jiri aka gị dị ike chụsasịa ndị iro gị.
11 The heavens are Yours, and also the earth. The earth and its fullness You founded.
Ọ bụ gị nwe eluigwe; gị nwekwa ụwa, ọ bụ gị tọrọ ntọala elu ụwa dum, na ihe niile dị nʼime ya.
12 North and south You created; Tabor and Hermon shout for joy at Your name.
Ọ bụ gị kere ugwu na ndịda; Taboa na Hemon na-abụ abụ ọṅụ nʼihi aha gị.
13 Mighty is Your arm; strong is Your hand. Your right hand is exalted.
Aka gị ka e mejupụtara nʼike; aka gị dị ike, a na-ebuli aka nri gị elu.
14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; loving devotion and faithfulness go before You.
Ezi omume na ikpe ziri ezi, bụ ntọala ocheeze gị; ịhụnanya na ikwesi ntụkwasị obi, na-aga nʼihu gị.
15 Blessed are those who know the joyful sound, who walk, O LORD, in the light of Your presence.
Ndị a gọziri agọzi ka ndị ahụ bụ ndị na-eji olu iti mkpu ọṅụ na-abụku gị abụ, ndị na-ejegharịkwa nʼìhè nke ihu gị, O Onyenwe anyị.
16 They rejoice in Your name all day long, and in Your righteousness they exult.
Ha na-aṅụrị ọṅụ nʼaha gị ogologo ụbọchị niile; ha na-aṅụrị nʼezi omume gị.
17 For You are the glory of their strength, and by Your favor our horn is exalted.
Nʼihi na ị bụ ebube na ike ha, site nʼihuọma gị, ị na-ebuli mpi anyị elu.
18 Surely our shield belongs to the LORD, and our king to the Holy One of Israel.
Nʼezie, ọta anyị bụ nke Onyenwe anyị, eze anyị bụkwa nke Onye nsọ Izrel.
19 You once spoke in a vision; to Your godly ones You said, “I have bestowed help on a warrior; I have exalted one chosen from the people.
I kwuru okwu otu mgbe site nʼọhụ, nye ndị gị kwesiri ntụkwasị obi sị: “Enyela m otu onye dị ike agha ike; Ebuliela m otu nwa okorobịa elu site nʼetiti ndị m.
20 I have found My servant David; with My sacred oil I have anointed him.
Achọtala m Devid ohu m, were mmanụ nsọ m tee ya.
21 My hand will sustain him; surely My arm will strengthen him.
Aka m ga-agba ya ume; nʼezie, aka m ga-eme ka ọ dị ike.
22 No enemy will exact tribute; no wicked man will oppress him.
Ọ dịghị onye iro ga-abịakwasị ya, na mberede; ọ dịghị onye ajọ omume ga-emegbu ya.
23 I will crush his foes before him and strike down those who hate him.
Aga m etigbu ndị iro ya niile nʼihu ya. Aga m emekwa ka ndị niile na-akpọ ya asị laa nʼiyi.
24 My faithfulness and loving devotion will be with him, and through My name his horn will be exalted.
Ịhụnanya m kwesiri ntụkwasị obi ga-adịnyere ya, site nʼaha m, a ga-ebuli mpi ya elu.
25 I will set his hand over the sea, and his right hand upon the rivers.
M ga-edo aka ya nʼoke osimiri, dokwaa aka nri ya nʼosimiri niile.
26 He will call to Me, ‘You are my Father, my God, the Rock of my salvation.’
Ọ ga-akpọ m sị m, ‘Ị bụ Nna m, bụrụkwa Chineke m, na oke Nkume nzọpụta m.’
27 I will indeed appoint him as My firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth.
Aga m eme ya nwa mbụ m, onye kachasị dị elu nʼebe eze niile nke ụwa nọ.
28 I will forever preserve My loving devotion for him, and My covenant with him will stand fast.
Aga m eme ka ịhụnanya m nwere nʼebe ọ nọ dịgide ruo ebighị ebi, ọgbụgba ndụ mụ na ya ga-adịgidekwa.
29 I will establish his line forever, his throne as long as the heavens endure.
Aga m eme ka agbụrụ ya guzosie ike ruo mgbe ebighị ebi, ocheeze ya ga-adịgidekwa dịka eluigwe na-adịgide.
30 If his sons forsake My law and do not walk in My judgments,
“Ọ bụrụ na ụmụ ya elefuo iwu m niile anya, gharakwa ijegharị nʼụzọ m niile,
31 if they violate My statutes and fail to keep My commandments,
ọ bụrụ na ha elelịa ụkpụrụ m niile anya, hapụkwa idebe ihe m nyere ha nʼiwu,
32 I will attend to their transgression with the rod, and to their iniquity with stripes.
aga m eji mkpọrọ taa ha ahụhụ maka mmehie ha, tikwaa ha ụtarị maka njehie ha;
33 But I will not withdraw My loving devotion from him, nor ever betray My faithfulness.
ma agaghị m ewezuga ịhụnanya m, nʼebe ha nọ. Ma ọ bụ laa azụ nʼikwesị ntụkwasị obi m.
34 I will not violate My covenant or alter the utterance of My lips.
Agaghị m emerụ ọgbụgba ndụ m. Agakwaghị m agbanwe ihe ọbụla siterela nʼọnụ m pụta.
35 Once and for all I have sworn by My holiness— I will not lie to David—
Ejirila m ịdị nsọ m ṅụọ iyi, kpebie na m apụghị ịghara Devid ụgha,
36 his offspring shall endure forever, and his throne before Me like the sun,
na agbụrụ ya ga-adịgide ruo mgbe ebighị ebi, ocheeze ya ga-adịgidekwa nʼihu m ka anyanwụ na-adịgide.
37 like the moon, established forever, a faithful witness in the sky.”
Ọ ga-adịgide ruo ebighị ebi dịka ọnwa. E, dịka ọnwa ahụ, onye akaebe m kwesiri ntụkwasị obi na mbara eluigwe.” (Sela)
38 Now, however, You have spurned and rejected him; You are enraged by Your anointed one.
Ma ị jụla, i werela nlelị jụkwa, i na-ewe iwe dị ukwu megide onye gị e tere mmanụ.
39 You have renounced the covenant with Your servant and sullied his crown in the dust.
Ị jụla ọgbụgba ndụ gị na ohu gị gbara i merụọla okpueze ya nʼime ntụ dị nʼala.
40 You have broken down all his walls; You have reduced his strongholds to rubble.
Ị kụtuola mgbidi gbara ya gburugburu, i meela ka ebe ya niile e wusiri ike bụrụ ihe dapịara adapịa.
41 All who pass by plunder him; he has become a reproach to his neighbors.
Ndị niile si ụzọ ahụ na-agafe, ezuruchaala ihe niile o nwere. Ndị agbataobi ya na-akwakwa ya emo.
42 You have exalted the right hand of his foes; You have made all his enemies rejoice.
I meela ka aka nri ndị iro ya dị elu; mekwaa ka ndị iro ya ṅụrịa ọṅụ.
43 You have bent the edge of his sword and have not sustained him in battle.
I meela ka aka o ji jide mma agha ya sụọ ngọngọ, i nyereghị ya aka mgbe agha dara.
44 You have ended his splendor and cast his throne to the ground.
I meela ka ịma mma ya gwụsịa. Ị tụdakwala ocheeze ya nʼala.
45 You have cut short the days of his youth; You have covered him with shame.
I meela ka ụbọchị ndụ nke okorobịa ya dị mkpụmkpụ. I ji ihere dịka akwa kpuchie ya.
46 How long, O LORD? Will You hide Yourself forever? Will Your wrath keep burning like fire?
Ruo ole mgbe Onyenwe anyị, ka ị ga-ezonarị onwe gị? Ruo ole mgbe ka iwe gị dị ukwuu ga-eregide dịka ọkụ?
47 Remember the briefness of my lifespan! For what futility You have created all men!
Cheta, na ndụ m bụ ihe na-agafe ngwangwa. Nʼihi ihe efu gịnị ka i ji kee mmadụ niile!
48 What man can live and never see death? Can he deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? (Sheol )
Olee onye ahụ nwere ike ịdị ndụ ghara ịhụ ọnwụ anya, maọbụ zọpụta onwe ya site nʼike nke ili? (Sela) (Sheol )
49 Where, O Lord, is Your loving devotion of old, which You faithfully swore to David?
O Onyenwe anyị, olee ebe oke ịhụnanya mbụ dị, nke i sitere nʼikwesị ntụkwasị obi gị ṅụọrọ Devid nʼiyi?
50 Remember, O Lord, the reproach of Your servants, which I bear in my heart from so many people—
Onyenwe m, cheta otu e si leda ndị ohu gị anya, otu m si anagide nʼime obi m ịchị ọchị niile nke ndị mba niile.
51 how Your enemies have taunted, O LORD, and have mocked every step of Your anointed one!
O Onyenwe anyị, ịchị ọchị nke ndị iro gị ji akwa m emo, nke ha ji lelịa nzọ ụkwụ niile nke onye gị i tere mmanụ.
52 Blessed be the LORD forever! Amen and amen.
Otuto dịrị Onyenwe anyị ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
