Psalms 26
1 Of David. O Lord, be my judge, for my behaviour has been upright: I have put my faith in the Lord, I am not in danger of slipping.
Abụ Ọma Devid. Onyenwe anyị, biko kpepụta m, nʼihi na ebiela m ndụ zuruoke; atụkwasịrị m Onyenwe anyị obi, na-eleghị anya nʼazụ.
2 Put me in the scales, O Lord, so that I may be tested; let the fire make clean my thoughts and my heart.
Tulee m, O Onyenwe anyị, ma nwakwaa m, nyochaa obi m na echiche m.
3 For your mercy is before my eyes; and I have gone in the way of your good faith.
Nʼihi na ejirila m ịhụnanya gị mere ihe nlere anya nye onwe m. Ana m ejegharịkwa nʼime eziokwu gị.
4 I have not taken my seat with foolish persons, and I do not go with false men.
Mụ na ndị na-aghọ aghụghọ adịghị enwe mmekọ ọbụla. Otu a kwa, nnwekọ ọbụla adịghịkwa nʼetiti mụ na ndị ihu abụọ.
5 I have been a hater of the band of wrongdoers, and I will not be seated among sinners.
Akpọrọ m otu ndị na-emebi iwu asị. Mụ na ndị ajọ omume agaghị anọkọkwa.
6 I will make my hands clean from sin; so will I go round your altar, O Lord;
Ana m asacha aka m abụọ nʼọnọdụ emeghị ihe ọjọọ, na-eje ozi nʼebe ịchụ aja gị ife gị ofufe, o Onyenwe anyị.
7 That I may give out the voice of praise, and make public all the wonders which you have done.
Ana m abụkwa abụ ekele, jiri iti mkpu na-ekwusa otuto gị, na ọrụ ebube gị niile.
8 Lord, your house has been dear to me, and the resting-place of your glory.
O Onyenwe anyị, ahụrụ m ụlọ obibi gị nʼanya, ụlọ ahụ ebe ebube gị na-adịgide nʼime ya.
9 Let not my soul be numbered among sinners, or my life among men of blood;
Ebibikọtala mụ na ndị mmehie, ewezugakọtala ndụ m na nke ndị na-awụfu ọbara,
10 In whose hands are evil designs, and whose right hands take money for judging falsely.
ndị aka ha jupụtara nʼatụmatụ ọjọọ, aka nri ha jupụtakwara na ngarị.
11 But as for me, I will go on in my upright ways: be my saviour, and have mercy on me.
Ma mụ onwe m na-ebi ndụ zuruoke; gbapụta m ma meere m ebere.
12 I have a safe resting-place for my feet; I will give praise to the Lord in the meetings of the people.
Ụkwụ m na-eguzo nʼala dị larịị; aga m eto Onyenwe anyị nʼetiti ọha mmadụ.
