Psalms 109
1 Unto the end. A Psalm of David.
Abụ Ọma nke dịrị onyeisi Abụ. Abụ Ọma Devid. O Chineke, onye m na-eto, anọgidekwala na-agba nkịtị,
2 O God, do not be silent toward my praise, for the mouth of the sinner and the mouth of the deceitful one have been opened against me.
nʼihi na ndị ajọ omume na ndị aghụghọ emegheela ọnụ ha megide m; ha aghaala ụgha megide m.
3 They have spoken against me with deceitful tongues, and they have surrounded me with hateful words, and they fought against me over nothing.
Ha na-eji okwu ịkpọ asị gbaa m gburugburu; na-ebuso m agha nʼefu.
4 Instead of choosing to act on my behalf, they detracted me. But I gave myself to prayer.
Nʼọnọdụ ịhụnanya m hụrụ ha, ha na-ebo m ebubo ma abụ m nwoke onye ekpere.
5 And they set evil against me, instead of good, and hatred, in return for my love.
Ha ji ihe ọjọọ na-akwụ m ụgwọ ihe ọma m mere, ịkpọ asị nʼọnọdụ ịhụnanya.
6 Establish the sinner over him, and let the devil stand at his right hand.
Họpụta otu onye ajọ omume ka o guzogide ya; ka onye na-ebo ebubo ụgha guzokwa nʼaka nri ya.
7 When he is judged, may he go forth in condemnation, and may his prayer be counted as sin.
Mgbe a ga-ekpe ya ikpe, ka ọ bụrụ onye ikpe mara, ka ekpere ya maa ya ikpe ọnwụ.
8 May his days be few, and let another take his episcopate.
Ka ụbọchị ndụ ya dị ole na ole, ka onye ọzọ nara ya ọkwa ya.
9 May his sons be orphans, and his wife a widow.
Ka ụmụ ya ghọọ ndị na-enweghị nna, ka nwunye ya bụrụ nwanyị na-enweghị di.
10 May his sons be carried by those who walk unsteadily, and may they go begging. And may they be cast out of their dwelling places.
Ka ụmụ ya ghọọ ndị arịrịọ na-enweghị ebe obibi, ndị e si na mkpọmkpọ ebe ha bi chụpụ.
11 May the money lenders scrutinize all his belongings, and let foreigners plunder his labors.
Ka ndị o ji ụgwọ kwakọrọ ihe niile o nwere, ka ndị ọbịa baa bukọrọ ihe niile ọ rụpụtaara onwe ya.
12 May there be no one to assist him, nor anyone to be compassionate to his orphaned children.
Ka onye ọbụla ghara igosi ya obiọma; ka onye ọbụla gharakwa imere ụmụ ya ndị ọ hapụrụ ebere.
13 May his posterity be in utter ruin. In one generation, may his name be wiped away.
Kama ka ụmụ ụmụ ya niile nwụsịa, ka a ehichapụkwa aha ha nʼọgbọ nke na-abịa nʼihu.
14 May the iniquity of his fathers return in memory before the sight of the Lord, and do not let the sin of his mother be wiped away.
Ka Onyenwe anyị chetakwa mmehie niile nke nna nna ya ha, ka Onyenwe anyị hapụkwa ịgbaghara mmehie nne ya.
15 May these be opposite the Lord always, but let their memory perish from the earth.
Ka Onyenwe anyị na-echeta mmehie ha oge niile; ma ka o mee ka ha bụrụ ndị a ga-echefu echefu nʼọgbọ niile.
16 For certain things are not remembered about them, in order to be merciful.
Nʼihi na ọ dịghị mgbe o chere echiche banyere imere onye ọzọ obi ebere, ọ kpagburu ndị ogbenye, ndị nọ na mkpa na ndị obi ha tiwara etiwa ruo nʼọnwụ.
17 And so the destitute man was pursued, with the beggar and the remorseful in heart, so as to be put to death.
Ọ hụrụ ịbụ ndị ọzọ ọnụ nʼanya, ka ọbụbụ ọnụ bịakwasị ya; ọ dịghị atọ ya ụtọ ịgọzi onye ọbụla, ka ngọzị dị anya site nʼebe ọ nọ.
18 And he loved a curse, and it came to him. And he was unwilling to have a blessing, and it went far from him. And he clothed himself with curses like a garment, and it entered his inner self like water, and it entered his bones like oil.
O yikwasịrị ịbụ ọnụ dịka uwe ya; ọ bara nʼime ahụ ya dịka mmiri, bakwaa nʼime ọkpụkpụ ya dịka mmanụ.
19 May it be to him like a garment that covers him, and like a belt that always cinches him.
Ka ọ dịịrị ya ka uwe mwụda nke e kere ya gburugburu dịka akwa, dịka belịt e kegidere ya gburugburu ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
20 This is the work of those who detract me with the Lord and who speak evils against my soul.
Onyenwe anyị, mee ka nke a bụrụ ụdị ụgwọ ọrụ ndị iro m ga-anata, bụ ndị ahụ niile na-ekwu okwu ọjọọ megide m.
21 But as for you, Lord, O Lord: act on my behalf for your name’s sake. For your mercy is sweet.
Ma gị onwe gị, Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị nyere m aka nʼihi aha gị, site nʼịdị mma nke ịhụnanya gị, napụta m.
22 Free me, for I am destitute and poor, and my heart has been disquieted within me.
Nʼihi na abụ m ogbenye na onye nọ na mkpa, obi m tiwakwara etiwa nʼime m.
23 I have been taken away like a shadow when it declines, and I have been shaken off like locusts.
Ana m efu dịka onyinyo nke a na-ahụ anya mgbe anwụ dara; adịkwa m ka igurube nke onye m bekwasịrị nʼahụ ya na-efechapụ.
24 My knees have been weakened by fasting, and my flesh has been replaced by oil.
Ike agwụla ikpere m, nʼihi ibu ọnụ; ataakwala m ahụ, bụrụ naanị ọkpụkpụ.
25 And I have become a disgrace to them. They saw me, and they shook their heads.
Aghọọla m onye e ji eme ihe ọchị nye ndị na-ebo m ebubo, mgbe ha hụrụ m, ha na-efufe isi ha.
26 Help me, O Lord, my God. Save me according to your mercy.
Nyere m aka, o Onyenwe anyị Chineke m; zọpụta m dịka ịhụnanya gị si dị.
27 And let them know that this is your hand, and that you, O Lord, have done this.
Ka ha mara na ọ bụ aka gị, na ọ bụ gị, o Onyenwe anyị, mere ya.
28 They will curse, and you will bless. May those who rise up against me be confounded. But your servant will rejoice.
Ha nwere ike nọgide na-abụ ọnụ, ma ị ga-agọzi; mgbe ha ga-abịa ọgụ, a ga-eme ha ihe ihere, ma ohu gị ga-aṅụrị ọṅụ.
29 May those who detract me be clothed with shame, and may they be covered with their confusion, as if with a double cloak.
A ga-eji ihere yikwasị ndị na-ebo m ebubo dịka uwe werekwa ihere kee ha gburugburu dịka uwe mwụda.
30 I will confess exceedingly to the Lord with my mouth. And I will praise him in the midst of the multitude.
Aga m eji ọnụ m jaa Onyenwe anyị mma nke ukwuu; nʼetiti ọha mmadụ dị ukwuu, aga m eto ya.
31 For he stands at the right hand of the poor, in order to save my soul from persecutors.
Nʼihi na ọ na-eguzo nʼaka nri nke onye nọ na mkpa, ịzọpụta ya site nʼaka ndị na-ama ya ikpe ọnwụ.
