< Psalms 4 >
1 To the chief music-maker on corded instruments. A Psalm. Of David. Give answer to my cry, O God of my righteousness; make me free from my troubles; have mercy on me, and give ear to my prayer.
Abụ Ọma nke dịrị onyeisi abụ. Abụ Ọma Devid nke a na-eji ụbọ akwara akpọ. Zaa m mgbe m na-akpọku gị Chineke m, gị onye ezi omume; Napụta m site nʼihe mgbu m, meere m ebere, nụrụkwa ekpere m.
2 O you sons of men, how long will you go on turning my glory into shame? how long will you give your love to foolish things, going after what is false? (Selah)
Unu ụmụ mmadụ, ruo ole mgbe ka unu ga-atụgharịa ebube m, mee ka ọ bụrụ ihe ihere? Ruo ole mgbe ka unu ga-ahụ ihe efu nʼanya na-achọ chi ndị ahụ na-abụghị chi nʼezie? (Sela)
3 See how the Lord has made great his mercy for me; the Lord will give ear to my cry.
Matanụ nke ọma na Onyenwe anyị ahọpụtala ndị ezi omume nye onwe ya; ọ ga-egekwa ntị nʼolu m mgbe ọbụla m kpọkuru ya.
4 Let there be fear in your hearts, and do no sin; have bitter feelings on your bed, but make no sound. (Selah)
Maanụ jijiji, unu emehiekwala; mgbe unu nọ nʼelu ihe ndina unu; nọọnụ jụụ na-enyocha obi unu. (Sela)
5 Give the offerings of righteousness, and put your faith in the Lord.
Tụkwasịnụ Onyenwe anyị obi unu, chụkwaranụ ya aja ezi omume.
6 There are numbers who say, Who will do us any good? the light of his face has gone from us.
Ọtụtụ ndị mmadụ na-ajụ, “Onye pụrụ imere anyị ihe ọma?” Ma Onyenwe anyị, biko mee ka ìhè nke ihu gị mụkwasị anyị.
7 Lord, you have put joy in my heart, more than they have when their grain and their wine are increased.
Were ọṅụ mejupụta obi m karịa mgbe mkpụrụ ubi, ya na mmanya ọhụrụ ha bara ụba nke ukwuu.
8 I will take my rest on my bed in peace, because you only, Lord, keep me safe.
Aga m edina ala ma rahụ ụra nʼudo, nʼihi na ọ bụ naanị gị Onyenwe anyị, na-eme ka m nọrọ na-enweghị ihe egwu ọbụla.
