Psalms 18
1 For the end, [a Psalm] of David, the servant of the Lord; [the words] which he spoke to the Lord, [even] the words of this Song, in the day in which the Lord delivered him out the hand of all his enemies, and out the hand of Saul: and he said: I will love thee, O Lord, my strength.
Abụ ọma Devid. Abụ Devid ohu Onyenwe anyị. Ọ bụụrụ Onyenwe anyị okwu niile nke abụ a mgbe Onyenwe anyị napụtara ya site nʼaka ndị iro ya niile, nakwa nʼaka Sọl. Ọ sịrị: O Onyenwe anyị, ahụrụ m gị nʼanya, gị bụ ike m.
2 The Lord is my firm support, and my refuge, and my deliverer; my God is my helper, I will hope in him; [he is] my defender, and the horn of my salvation, and my helper.
Onyenwe anyị bụ oke nkume m, na ebe mgbaba m e wusiri ike, na onye nnapụta m. Chineke m bụ oke nkume m, onye m gbabara nʼime ya. Ọ bụ ọta m, na mpi nzọpụta m, na oke nkume m nke onye ọbụla na-apụghị ịba nʼime ya.
3 I will call upon the Lord with praises, and I shall be saved from mine enemies.
Akpọkuru m Onyenwe anyị, onye e kwesiri inye otuto, ọ zọpụtara m site nʼaka ndị iro m.
4 The pangs of death compassed me, and the torrents of ungodliness troubled me exceedingly.
Ụdọ niile nke ọnwụ kere m agbụ; ịchị ọkụ nke mbibi ọjọọ kpuchiri m.
Ụdọ nke ili kere m gburugburu, ọnya nke ọnwụ guzogidere m. (Sheol h7585)
6 And when I was afflicted I called upon the Lord, and cried to my God: he heard my voice out of this holy temple, and my cry shall enter before him, [even] into his ears.
Nʼọnọdụ oke mkpagbu m, akpọkuru m Onyenwe anyị; etiri m mkpu akwa, kpọkuo Chineke m ka o nyere m aka; akwa m rutekwara ya ntị, o sitekwara nʼụlọnsọ ukwu ya nụ olu m.
7 Then the earth shook and quaked, and the foundations of the mountains were disturbed, and were shaken, because God was angry with them.
Ụwa mere mkpọtụ, maa jijiji, ntọala niile nke ugwu niile makwara jijiji, ha mara jijiji nʼihi iwe nke na-ewe ya.
8 There went up a smoke in his wrath, and fire burst into a flame at his presence: coals were kindled at it.
Anwụrụ ọkụ sitere ya nʼimi pụta, ọkụ na-erepịa erepịa sikwa nʼọnụ ya pụta; icheku ọkụ na-ere ọkụ sitekwara nʼebe ahụ nwupụta.
9 And he bowed the heaven, and came down: and thick darkness was under his feet.
O kewara mbara eluigwe, rịdata; oke igwe ojii dịkwa nʼokpuru ụkwụ ya.
10 And he mounted on cherubs and flew: he flew on the wings of winds.
Ọ nọkwasịrị nʼelu cherubim felie elu, o feliri elu nʼelu nku nke ifufe.
11 And he made darkness his secret place: round about him was his tabernacle, [even] dark water in the clouds of the air.
O mere ọchịchịrị ebe nzuzo ya, ihe mkpuchi nke gbara ya gburugburu, bụ ọchịchịrị mmiri igwe ojii nke mbara eluigwe.
12 At the brightness before him the clouds passed, hail and coals of fire.
Site nʼìhè nke na-enwupụta nʼahụ ya, igwe ojii ji mkpụrụ mmiri na amụma egbe eluigwe gabiga.
13 The Lord also thundered from heaven, and the Highest uttered his voice.
Onyenwe anyị sitere nʼeluigwe bigbọọ; olu Onye kachasị ihe niile elu dara ụda.
14 And he sent forth [his] weapons, and scattered them; and multiplied lightnings, and routed them.
Ọ gbara àkụ ya, mee ka ndị iro gbasasịa, o jikwa oke amụma nke egbe eluigwe chụsaa ha.
15 And the springs of waters appeared, and the foundations of the world were exposed, at thy rebuke, O Lord, at the blasting of the breath of thy wrath.
E kpughere ala ala nke oke osimiri, gbakwa ntọala niile nke ụwa ọtọ, site nʼịba mba gị, O Onyenwe anyị, na nkuume si gị nʼimi pụta.
16 He sent from on high and took me, he drew me to himself out of many waters.
O sitere nʼelu setịpụ aka ya, jidesie m aka ike, ọ dọpụtara m site nʼogbu mmiri niile.
17 He will deliver me from my mighty enemies, and from them that hate me; for they are stronger than I.
Ọ napụtara m site nʼaka ndị iro m dị ike, bụ ndị kpọrọ m asị, ndị dịkwa ike karịa m.
18 They prevented me in the day of mine affliction: but the Lord was my stay against [them].
Ha guzogidere m nʼụbọchị ihe ndakwasị m, ma Onyenwe anyị bụrụ m ihe ndabere.
19 And he brought me out into a wide place: he will deliver me, because he has pleasure in me.
Ọ kpọpụtara m gaa nʼebe sara mbara, ọ napụtara m nʼihi na ihe m na-atọ ya ụtọ.
20 And the Lord will recompense me according to my righteousness; even according to the purity of my hands will he recompense me.
Onyenwe anyị mesoro m dịka ezi omume m si dị; ọ kwụghachiri m dịka ịdị ọcha nke aka m si dị.
21 For I have kept the way of the Lord and have not wickedly departed from my God.
Nʼihi na edebezuola m ụzọ niile nke Onyenwe anyị, ikpe amaghị m nʼihi ịgbakụta Chineke azụ.
22 For all his judgments were before me, and his ordinances departed not from me.
Iwu ya niile dị nʼihu m, esibekwaghị m nʼụkpụrụ ya wezuga onwe m.
23 And I shall be blameless with hem, and shall keep myself from mine iniquity.
Abụ m onye na-enweghị ịta ụta nʼihu ya, edebekwara m onwe m pụọ na mmehie.
24 And the Lord shall recompense me according to my righteousness, and according to the purity of my hands before his eyes.
Onyenwe anyị kwụghachiri m dịka ezi omume m si dị, dịka ịdị ọcha nke aka m abụọ si dị nʼanya ya.
25 With the holy thou wilt be holy; and with the innocent man thou wilt be innocent.
Nʼebe onye kwesiri ntụkwasị obi nọ, i na-egosi onwe gị onye kwesiri ntụkwasị obi, nʼebe onye zuruoke nọ, ị na-egosi onwe gị onye zuruoke.
26 And with the excellent [man] thou wilt be excellent; and with the perverse thou wilt shew frowardness.
Nʼebe onye dị ọcha nọ, ị na-egosi onwe gị onye dị ọcha, ma nye ndị ụzọ ha na-ezighị ezi, ị na-egosi onwe gị dịka onye dị aghụghọ.
27 For thou wilt save the lowly people, and wilt humble the eyes of the proud.
Ị na-azọpụta ndị dị umeala nʼobi, ma ị na-eme ka ndị nwere anya mpako dị ala.
28 For thou, O Lord, wilt light my lamp: my God, thou wilt lighten my darkness.
Ọ bụ gị, Onyenwe anyị, na-eme ka oriọna m na-enwu, Chineke m na-eme ka ọchịchịrị m ghọọ ìhè.
29 For by thee shall I be delivered from a troop; and by my God I will pass over a wall.
Site nʼinyeaka gị, apụrụ m ịlụso igwe ndị agha ọgụ, sitekwa na Chineke m, apụkwara m ịwụfe mgbidi ọbụla.
30 [As for] my God, his way is perfect: the oracles of the Lord are tried in the fire; he is a protector of all them that hope in him.
Ma banyere Chineke, ụzọ ya zuruoke, okwu ọnụ Onyenwe anyị bụ ihe a nụchara anụcha; ọ bụ ọta nke onye ọbụla na-ezo onwe ya nʼokpuru ya.
31 For who is God but the Lord? and who is a God except our God?
Nʼihi na onye bụ Chineke, ma ọ bụghị naanị Onyenwe anyị? Onye bụkwa oke Nkume ahụ, ma ọ bụghị naanị Chineke anyị?
32 [It is] God that girds me with strength, and has made my way blameless:
Ọ bụ Chineke na-enye m ike, na-echebekwa ụzọ m nʼizuoke.
33 who strengthens my feet as hart's feet, and sets me upon high places.
Ọ na-eme ka ụkwụ m dị gara gara, dịka nke nne ele; Ọ na-emekwa ka m kwụrụ chịm nʼebe niile dị elu.
34 He instructs my hands for war: and thou hast made my arms [as] a brazen bow.
Ọ na-azụ aka m abụọ ibu agha, ogwe aka m abụọ pụrụ ịrọji ụta bronz.
35 And thou hast made me secure in my salvation: and thy right hand has helped me, and thy correction has upheld me to the end; yea, thy correction itself shall instruct me.
Ị na-eme ka inyeaka nke nzọpụta gị bụrụ ọta m, aka nri gị na-akwagidekwa m, inyeaka gị emeela m ka m dị ukwuu.
36 Thou has made room for my goings under me, and by footsteps did not fail.
Ị na-edozi ụzọ sara mbara nye ụkwụ, ka nkwonkwo ụkwụ m ghara ịgbụchapụ.
37 I will pursue mine enemies, and overtake them; and I will not turn back until they are consumed.
Achụrụ m ndị iro m ọsọ, jidekwa ha; alaghachighị m azụ tutu ruo mgbe ha niile lara nʼiyi.
38 I will dash them to pieces and they shall not be able to stand: they shall fall under my feet.
Etidara m ha nʼala ebe ha enwekwaghị ike ibilite. Ha dara nʼokpuru ụkwụ m.
39 For thou hast girded me with strength for war: thou hast beaten down under me all that rose up against me.
Ọ bụ gị nyere m ike ibu agha, i wedara ndị niile na-emegide m nʼala nʼihu m.
40 And thou has made mine enemies turn their backs before me; and thou hast destroyed them that hated me.
I mere ka ndị iro m tụgharịa gbapụ ọsọ. Ebibikwara m ndị kpọrọ m asị.
41 They cried, but there was no deliverer: [even] to the Lord, but he hearkened not to them.
Ha bere akwa maka enyemaka, ma ọ dịghị onye na-azọpụta ha. Ha kpọkuru Onyenwe anyị, ma ọ zaghị ha.
42 I will grind them as the mud of the streets: and I will beat them small as dust before the wind.
Egwepịara m ha nke ọma dịka ntụ nke ikuku na-ebufu; a zọtọrọ m ha dịka apịtị nke okporoụzọ.
43 Deliver me from the gain sayings of the people: thou shalt make me head of the Gentiles: a people whom I knew not served me,
Ị napụtala m site nʼaka ndị na-alụso m ọgụ ị meela m onyeisi nke ọtụtụ mba; ndị m na-amaghị na mbụ na-ejekwara m ozi.
44 at the hearing of the ear they obeyed me: the strange children lied to me.
Ndị ala ọzọ na-ehulata nʼihu m nʼihi egwu, ngwangwa ha nụrụ olu m, ha na-erube isi nye m.
45 The strange children waxed old, and fell away from their paths through lameness.
Obi na-ada ha mba; ha na-ama jijiji mgbe ha na-esite nʼebe niile ha e wusiri ike na-apụta.
46 The Lord lives; and blessed [be] my God; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.
Onyenwe anyị na-adị ndụ! Otuto dịrị oke nkume m! Mbuli elu dịrị Chineke, Onye nzọpụta m.
47 [It is] God that avenges me, and has subdued the nations under me;
Ọ bụ Chineke ahụ onye na-abọrọ m ọbọ, onye na-emekwa ka mba dị iche iche nọrọ nʼokpuru m,
48 my deliverer from angry enemies: thou shalt set me on high above them that rise up against me: thou shalt deliver me from the unrighteous man.
onye na-anapụta m site nʼaka ndị iro m. I mere ka m dị elu karịa ndị iro, napụtakwa m site nʼaka nwoke na-eme ihe ike.
49 Therefore will I confess to thee, O Lord, among the Gentiles, and sing to thy name.
Nʼihi nke a, Onyenwe anyị, aga m eto gị nʼetiti mba niile dị iche iche, aga m abụku aha gị abụ otuto.
50 [God] magnifies the deliverances of his king; and deals mercifully with David his anointed, and his seed, for ever.
Ọ na-enye eze ya mmeri dị ukwuu; Ọ na-egosikwa onye ya onye e tere mmanụ ịhụnanya na-adịghị ada ada, nye Devid na ndị agbụrụ ya ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
