Psalms 34
1 [A Psalm] of David, when he changed his countenance before Abimelech; and he let him go, and he departed. I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall be continually in my mouth.
Abụ Ọma Devid. Mgbe ọ gbanwere omume ya mee ka onye na-ayị ara nʼihu Abimelek, onye nke chụpụrụ ya, ya a pụọ. Aga m eto Onyenwe anyị mgbe niile. Mgbe niile ka otuto ya ga-adị nʼọnụ m.
2 My soul shall boast herself in the Lord: let the meek hear, and rejoice.
Mkpụrụobi m ga-anya isi na Onyenwe anyị; ka ndị niile a na-akpagbu gee ntị ṅụrịa ọṅụ.
3 Magnify ye the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together.
Soro m too Onyenwe anyị; ka anyị bulie aha ya elu.
4 I sought the Lord diligently, and he hearkened to me, and delivered me from all my sojournings.
Nʼihi na etikuru m Onyenwe anyị mkpu akwa, ọ zakwara m, napụta m site nʼaka ịtụ ụjọ m niile.
5 Draw near to him, and be enlightened: and your faces shall not [by any means] be ashamed.
Ihu ndị na-elekwasị ya anya na-enwu dịka ihe; ihere adịghị eme ha.
6 This poor man cried, and the Lord hearkened to him, and delivered him out of all his afflictions.
Onye ogbenye a kpọkuru Onyenwe anyị, ọ zakwara ya; ọ zọpụtara ya site na nsogbu ya niile.
7 The angel of the Lord will encamp round about them that fear him, and will deliver them.
Mmụọ ozi Onyenwe anyị na-agba ndị niile na-atụ egwu ya gburugburu na-anapụtakwa ha.
8 Taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man who hopes in him.
Jiri aka gị tulee ma hụkwa na Onyenwe anyị dị mma; onye a gọziri agọzi ka onye ahụ bụ, onye nke na-agbaba nʼime ya.
9 Fear the Lord, all ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.
Tụọnụ egwu Onyenwe anyị, unu ndị nsọ ya, nʼihi na ọ dịghị ihe na-akọ ndị niile na-atụ egwu ya.
10 The rich have become poor and hungry: but they that seek the Lord diligently shall not want any good thing. (Pause)
Agụụ nwere ike ịgụ ụmụ ọdụm, ike pụkwara ịgwụ ha, ma ihe ọbụla bụ ihe ọma agaghị akọ ndị niile na-achọ Onyenwe anyị.
11 Come, ye children, hear me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
Ụmụ m, bịanụ gee m ntị; aga m ezi unu ihe ịtụ egwu Onyenwe anyị bụ.
12 What man is there that desires life, loving to see good days?
Onye ọbụla nʼime unu hụrụ ndụ nʼanya, ma nwee ọchịchọ ihu ọtụtụ ụbọchị ndị dị mma,
13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.
chezie ire gị ka ọ ghara ikwu ihe ọjọọ, chezikwaa egbugbere ọnụ gị ka ọ gharakwa ịgha ụgha.
14 Turn away from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
Site nʼihe ọjọọ wezuga onwe gị ma mee ezi ihe, chọọ udo ma gbasookwa ya.
15 The eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears [are open] to their prayer:
Anya Onyenwe anyị dị nʼahụ ndị ezi omume, ntị ya gheekwa oghe nye mkpu akwa ha;
16 but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil, to destroy their memorial from the earth. The righteous cried, and the Lord hearkened to them,
ma ihu Onyenwe anyị na-emegide ndị na-eme ihe ọjọọ, ime ka a hapụ ichetakwa ihe banyere ha nʼụwa.
17 and delivered them out of all their afflictions.
Onyenwe anyị na-anụ olu ndị ezi omume, mgbe ha na-akpọku ya ka o nyere ha aka; ọ na-azọpụtakwa ha site na nsogbu ha niile.
18 The Lord is near to them that are of a contrite heart; and will save the lowly in spirit.
Onyenwe anyị na-anọ ndị niile obi ha tiwara etiwa nso, ọ na-anapụta ndị niile olileanya ha gwụrụ.
19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but out of them all Lord will deliver them.
Nsogbu na-adakwasị ndị ezi omume na-adị ukwuu, ma Onyenwe anyị na-anapụta ha site na nsogbu ndị ahụ niile.
20 He keeps all their bones: not one of them shall be broken.
Ọ na-anapụtakwa ha kpamkpam. Ọ gaghị ekwe ka ọ bụladị otu ọkpụkpụ dị ha nʼahụ gbajie.
21 The death of sinners is evil: and they that hate righteousness will go wrong.
Ihe ọjọọ ga-eme ka onye ajọ omume nwụọ; ndị na-akpọ onye ezi omume asị ka a ga-ama ikpe ọnwụ.
22 The Lord will redeem the souls of his servants: and none of those that hope in him shall go wrong.
Onyenwe anyị na-agbapụta ndị ohu ya; ọ dịghị onye ọbụla nke na-agbaba nʼime ya a ga-ama ikpe ọnwụ.
