Psalms 44
1 For the end, a Psalm for instruction, for the sons of Core. O God, we have heard with our ears, our fathers have told us, the work which you wrought in their days, in the days of old.
Abụ Ọma nke dịrị onyeisi abụ. Abụ maskil nke ụmụ Kora. O Chineke, anyị anụla; nna anyị ha agwakwala anyị ihe ndị i mere nʼoge ha, nʼoge gara aga.
2 Your hand utterly destroyed the heathen, and you did plant them: you did afflict the nations, and cast them out.
I ji aka gị chụpụ ndị mba ọzọ, ma kụnye nna nna anyị ha dịka osisi. I gwepịara ndị ahụ ma mee ka ndị nna anyị na-eto na-awasa.
3 For they inherited not the land by their [own] sword, and their [own] arm did not deliver them; but your right hand, and your arm, and the light of your countenance, because you were well pleased in them.
Ọ bụghị site na mma agha ha ka ha ji merie nweta ala a, ha emerighị site nʼike nke aka ha; ọ bụ aka nri gị, aka gị, na ìhè nke ihu gị nyere ha mmeri, nʼihi na ị hụrụ ha nʼanya.
4 You are indeed my King and my God, who command deliverances for Jacob.
Ị bụ eze m na Chineke m, onye na-ekpebi na Jekọb aghaghị inwe mmeri.
5 In you will we push down our enemies, and in your name will we bring to nothing them that rise up against us.
Nʼihi ọ bụ naanị site nʼike gị, ya na aha gị, ka anyị ji zọda ndị iro anyị nʼokpuru ụkwụ anyị.
6 For I will not trust in my bow, and my sword shall not save me.
Atụkwasịghị m obi m nʼụta m, mma agha m anaghị enye m mmeri;
7 For you have saved us from them that afflicted us, and have put to shame them that hated us.
ma i na-enye anyị mmeri nʼebe ndị iro anyị nọ, ị na-eme ka ihere mee ndị na-eguzogide anyị.
8 In God will we make our boast all the day, and to your name will we give thanks for ever. (Pause)
Nʼime Chineke ka ịnya isi anyị dị ogologo ụbọchị niile, anyị ga-eto aha gị ruo mgbe ebighị ebi. (Sela)
9 But now you have cast off, and put us to shame; and you will not go forth with our hosts.
Ma ugbu a, ị jụla anyị ma weda anyị nʼala; ị naghị esokwa ndị agha anyị apụ ọzọ.
10 You have turned us back before our enemies; and they that hated us spoiled for themselves.
I mere ka anyị site nʼihu ndị iro anyị gbalaga, i meela ka ndị na-emegide anyị were aka ike napụ anyị ihe bụ nke anyị.
11 You made us as sheep for meat; and you scattered us amongst the nations.
Ị gbakụtara anyị azụ ka e ripịa anyị dịka atụrụ, ma chụsasịa anyị nʼetiti mba niile.
12 You have sold your people without price, and there was no profit by their exchange.
I rere ndị gị ọnụ ala, ihe i retara ha abaghị uru nye gị.
13 You have made us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision them that are round about us.
I meela ka anyị bụrụ nkọcha nye ndị agbataobi anyị, anyị bụ ihe ịkwa emo na ihe ọchị nye ndị gbara anyị gburugburu.
14 You have made us a proverb amongst the Gentiles, a shaking of the head amongst the nations.
I meela anyị ka anyị bụrụ ihe ịmaatụ ọchị nʼetiti mba niile, ndị ọbụla hụrụ anyị na-efufe isi na mkparị.
15 All the day my shame is before me, and the confusion of my face has covered me,
Ogologo ụbọchị niile, ihere m dị m nʼihu, ihere m na-ekpuchikwa m ihu,
16 because of the voice of the slanderer and reviler; because of the enemy and avenger.
mgbe ndị nkwulu na ndị nkọcha na-eji m eme ihe ọchị, nʼihi onye iro, onye kpebiri ịbọ ọbọ.
17 All these things are come upon us: but we have not forgotten you, neither have we dealt unrighteously in your covenant.
Ọ bụ ezie na ihe ndị a adakwasịla anyị, ma anyị echefubeghị gị. Anyị enupubeghị isi nʼọgbụgba ndụ anyị na gị.
18 And our heart has not gone back; but you have turned aside our paths from your way.
Obi anyị ahapụbeghị gị! Anyị ahapụbekwaghị iso ụzọ gị.
19 For you have laid us low in a place of affliction, and the shadow of death has covered us.
Ma i gwepịara anyị mee ka anyị bụrụ ebe nkịta ọhịa na-akpagharị, jirikwa oke ọchịchịrị kpuchie anyị.
20 If we have forgotten the name of our God, and if we have spread out our hands to a strange god; shall not God search these things out?
Ọ bụrụ na anyị chefuru aha Chineke anyị, maọbụ na anyị gbasaara chi mba ọzọ aka anyị,
21 for he knows the secrets of the heart.
ọ bụ na Chineke agaraghị achọpụta ya, ebe ọ maara ihe nzuzo niile dị nʼobi?
22 For, for your sake we are killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for slaughter.
Ọ bụ nʼihi gị ka anyị na ọnwụ ji agba mgba, ogologo ụbọchị niile. A na-ele anyị anya dịka atụrụ a gaje igbu egbu.
23 Awake, therefore sleep you, O Lord? arise, and do not cast [us] off for ever.
O, Onyenwe m teta! Gịnị mere i ji arahụ ụra? Kpọtee onwe gị! Ajụkwala anyị ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
24 Therefore turn you your face away, [and] forget our poverty and our affliction?
Gịnị mere i ji ezopụ ihu gị, ma chefuo mmegbu na ịta ahụhụ anyị?
25 For our soul has been brought down to the dust; our belly has cleaved to the earth.
E tidala anyị nʼala, nʼuzuzu, ahụ anyị rapara nʼaja
26 Arise, O Lord, help us, and redeem us for your name's sake.
Bilie ma nyere anyị aka; gbapụta anyị maka ịhụnanya gị nke na-adịghị agwụ agwụ.
