Psalms 73
1 A Psalm. Of Asaph. Truly, God is good to Israel, even to such as are clean in heart.
Abụ Ọma Asaf. Nʼezie, Chineke dịịrị Izrel mma, dịkwara ndị obi ha dị ọcha.
2 But as for me, my feet had almost gone from under me; I was near to slipping;
Ma mụ onwe m, ọ fọdụrụ nwantịị ka m zọhie ụkwụ, ọ fọdụrụ nwantịị ka ụkwụ m gbụchapụ.
3 Because of my envy of the men of pride, when I saw the well-being of the wrongdoers.
Nʼihi na e kwosara m ndị mpako ekworo; mgbe m hụrụ ịba ụba nke ndị ajọ omume.
4 For they have no pain; their bodies are fat and strong.
Ha anaghị adọgbu onwe ha; ahụ ha gbara abụba, siekwa ike.
5 They are not in trouble as others are; they have no part in the unhappy fate of men.
Nsogbu niile mmadụ ibe ha na-enwe adịghị erute ha. Ha enweghị mkpa ọbụla nke na-akpa ha dịka ndị ọzọ nwere.
6 For this reason pride is round them like a chain; they are clothed with violent behaviour as with a robe.
Nʼihi nke a, nganga bụ ihe ịnya nʼolu ha; ha jikwa ihe ike kpuchie onwe ha dịka uwe.
7 Their eyes are bursting with fat; they have more than their heart's desire.
Mmehie na-esite nʼobi ọjọọ ha apụta; echiche ọjọọ ha enweghị ngụta.
8 Their thoughts are deep with evil designs; their talk from their seats of power is of cruel acts.
Ha na-akwa emo, na-ejikwa iro ekwu okwu; nʼime mpako ha, ha na-aba mba imegbu ndị ọzọ.
9 Their mouth goes up to heaven; their tongues go walking through the earth.
Ha ji ọnụ ha na-ekwu na eluigwe bụ nke ha, ha jikwa ire ha kwuo na ụwa niile bụ nke ha.
10 For this reason they are full of bread; and water is ever flowing for them.
Nʼihi nke a, ndị ha na-eso ha, na-aṅụrụ okwu ha ebe ọ bara ụba dịka mmiri.
11 And they say, How will the Lord see this? is there knowledge in the Most High?
Ha na-asị, “Olee otu Chineke ga-esi mara? Ọ dịkwanụ ihe Onye kachasị ihe niile elu maara?”
12 Truly, such are the sinners; they do well at all times, and their wealth is increased.
Otu a ka ndị ajọ omume dị, ha na-ebi ndụ na-enweghị nsogbu; akụnụba ha na-amụbakwa.
13 As for me, I have made my heart clean to no purpose, washing my hands in righteousness;
Nʼezie, ọ bụ naanị nʼefu ka m debere obi m ọcha, nʼefu ka m kwọrọ aka m abụọ nʼemeghị ihe ọjọọ.
14 For I have been troubled all the day; every morning have I undergone punishment.
Ogologo ụbọchị niile, anọ m na nsogbu; ụtụtụ niile ka m na-anata ntaramahụhụ.
15 If I would make clear what it is like, I would say, You are false to the generation of your children.
Ọ bụrụ na m kwuru sị, “Nke a ka m ga-ekwu,” agaara m abụ onye na-ekwesighị ntụkwasị obi nʼetiti ụmụ gị.
16 When my thoughts were turned to see the reason of this, it was a weariness in my eyes;
Mgbe m gbalịrị ịghọta ihe ndị a niile, ọ ghọọrọ m ihe mwute,
17 Till I went into God's holy place, and saw the end of the evil-doers.
tutu ruo mgbe m bara nʼebe nsọ Chineke; mgbe ahụ ka m ghọtara ihe ga-eme ha nʼikpeazụ.
18 You put their feet where there was danger of slipping, so that they go down into destruction.
Nʼezie, ị na-eguzo ha nʼala na-achị achị; ị na-atụda ha, laa ha nʼiyi.
19 How suddenly are they wasted! fears are the cause of their destruction.
Lee, ka ha si laa nʼiyi nʼotu ntabi anya, bụrụ ndị ihe egwu dị iche iche kpochapụrụ kpamkpam!
20 As a dream when one is awake, they are ended; they are like an image gone out of mind when sleep is over.
Dịka nrọ, mgbe mmadụ na-eteta, otu a, O Onyenwe anyị, mgbe i tetara, ị ga-eleda ha anya dịka echiche na-agaghị emezu.
21 My heart was made bitter, and I was pained by the bite of grief:
Mgbe m nọ nʼobi mwute; mmụọ m dara mba.
22 As for me, I was foolish, and without knowledge; I was like a beast before you.
Abụ m onye nzuzu na onye na-amaghị ihe. Adị m ka anụ ọhịa nʼihu gị.
23 But still I am ever with you; you have taken me by my right hand.
Ma ana m anọnyere gị mgbe niile; ị na-ejide m nʼaka nri m.
24 Your wisdom will be my guide, and later you will put me in a place of honour.
Ị na-eji ndụmọdụ gị na-edu m, ma emesịa, ị ga-anabata m nʼebube gị.
25 Whom have I in heaven but you? and having you I have no desire for anything on earth.
Onye ka m nwere nʼeluigwe ma ọ bụghị gị? Ọ dịghị ihe ụwa a nwere nke m ga-achọsi ike karịa gị.
26 My flesh and my heart are wasting away: but God is the Rock of my heart and my eternal heritage.
Anụ ahụ m na mkpụrụobi m nwere ike ịda mba, ma Chineke bụ ike nke obi m, na ihe nketa m ruo ebighị ebi.
27 For those who are far away from you will come to destruction: you will put an end to all those who have not kept faith with you.
Ndị niile nọpụrụ gị nʼebe dị anya ga-ala nʼiyi. Ị ga-alakwa ndị niile na-ekwesighị ntụkwasị obi, nye gị nʼiyi.
28 But it is good for me to come near to God: I have put my faith in the Lord God, so that I may make clear all his works.
Ma nye mụ onwe m, ọ dị mma ịnọ Chineke nso. Emeela m Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị ebe mgbaba m. Aga m akọ banyere ọrụ gị niile dị iche iche.
