Psalms 16
1 Michtam. Of David. Keep me safe, O God: for in you I have put my faith.
Abụ miktam nke Devid. Chebe m, O Chineke, nʼihi na nʼime gị ka m gbabara izere ndụ.
2 O my soul, you have said to the Lord, You are my Lord: I have no good but you.
A gwara m Onyenwe anyị, “Ị bụ Onyenwe m, e wezuga gị, enwekwaghị m ọdịmma ọbụla.”
3 As for the saints who are in the earth, they are the noble in whom is all my delight.
Ana m asị maka ndị nsọ bụ ndị nọ nʼala a, “Ha bụ ndị a na-asọpụrụ, ndị ihe ha nʼatọ m ụtọ.”
4 Their sorrows will be increased who go after another god: I will not take drink offerings from their hands, or take their names on my lips.
Iru ụjụ nke ndị ahụ na-agbaso chi ndị ọzọ ga-aba ụba. Agaghị m eso ha wụsa aja ihe ọṅụṅụ ọbara nye chi ndị a, maọbụ were egbugbere ọnụ m kpọọ aha ha.
5 The Lord is my heritage and the wine of my cup; you are the supporter of my right.
Onyenwe anyị, i nyeela m oke m na iko m; ị na-elekọta ihe niile bụ nke m site nʼife nza.
6 Fair are the places marked out for me; I have a noble heritage.
Ọtụtụ oke ala niile dabara m nʼebe dị ezi mma; nʼezie, e nwere m ihe nketa nke na-enye m ọṅụ.
7 I will give praise to the Lord who has been my guide; knowledge comes to me from my thoughts in the night.
Aga m eto Onyenwe anyị, onye na-adụ m ọdụ; ọ bụladị nʼabalị, obi m na-agwa m ihe m ga-eme.
8 I have put the Lord before me at all times; because he is at my right hand, I will not be moved.
Ana m elekwasị Onyenwe anyị anya mgbe niile. Ebe ọ nọ nʼaka nri m, agaghị m ama jijiji.
9 Because of this my heart is glad, and my glory is full of joy: while my flesh takes its rest in hope.
Nʼihi nke a, obi dị m ụtọ, ire m jupụtakwara nʼọṅụ; aga m anọkwa nʼudo.
10 For you will not let my soul be prisoned in the underworld; you will not let your loved one see the place of death. (Sheol h7585)
Nʼihi na ị gaghị ahapụ m nʼala mmụọ, ị gaghị ekwekwa ka Onye gị kwesiri ntụkwasị obi hụ ire ure. (Sheol h7585)
11 You will make clear to me the way of life; where you are joy is complete; in your right hand there are pleasures for ever and ever.
I gosila m ụzọ ndụ; ị ga-eji ọṅụ mejupụta obi m nʼihu gị; ya na ihe ụtọ ndị dị nʼaka nri gị ruo ebighị ebi.
