< Psalms 118 >
1 Alleluia. Confess to the Lord, for he is good, for his mercy is forever.
Keleenụ Onyenwe anyị nʼihi na ọ dị mma; ịhụnanya ya na-adịgide ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
2 Let Israel now say: For he is good, for his mercy is forever.
Ka ụmụ Izrel kwupụta nʼonwe ha sị, “Ịhụnanya ya na-adịgide ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.”
3 Let the house of Aaron now say: For his mercy is forever.
Ka ndị ezinaụlọ Erọn kwuokwa sị, “Ịhụnanya ya na-adịgide ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.”
4 Let those who fear the Lord now say: For his mercy is forever.
Ka ndị niile na-atụ egwu Onyenwe anyị kwuo sị, “Ịhụnanya ya na-adịgide ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.”
5 In my tribulation, I called upon the Lord. And the Lord heeded me with generosity.
Nʼọnọdụ oke ihe mgbu m, akpọkuru m Onyenwe anyị, ọ zara m, mee ka m nwere onwe m.
6 The Lord is my helper. I will not fear what man can do to me.
Onyenwe anyị nọnyeere m, agaghị m atụ egwu. Gịnị ka mmadụ pụrụ ime m?
7 The Lord is my helper. And I will look down upon my enemies.
Onyenwe anyị nọnyere m; ọ bụ onye na-enyere m aka. Aga m ele ndị iro m anya na mmeri.
8 It is good to trust in the Lord, rather than to trust in man.
Ọ kachasị mma ịgbaba nʼime Onyenwe anyị karịa ịtụkwasị ụmụ mmadụ obi.
9 It is good to hope in the Lord, rather than to hope in leaders.
Ọ kachasị mma ịgbaba nʼime Onyenwe anyị karịa ịtụkwasị ndị amara aha ha obi.
10 All the nations have surrounded me. And, in the name of the Lord, I have been avenged over them.
Mba niile gbara m gburugburu ma site nʼaha Onyenwe anyị aga m ala ha nʼiyi.
11 Surrounding me, they closed in on me. And, in the name of the Lord, I have been avenged over them.
Ha gbara m gburugburu, ma site nʼaha Onyenwe anyị ka m na-egbuda ha.
12 They surrounded me like a swarm, and they burned like fire among the thorns. And, in the name of the Lord, I have been avenged over them.
Ha gbara m gburugburu dịka aṅụ, ma e menyụọla ha dịka ogwu na-ere ọkụ; site nʼaha Onyenwe anyị, ka m na-egbuda ha.
13 Having been pushed, I was overturned so as to fall. But the Lord took me up.
Akwaghachiri m azụ, agaara m ada, ma Onyenwe anyị nyere m aka.
14 The Lord is my strength and my praise. And he has become my salvation.
Onyenwe anyị bụ ike m na abụ m; ọ ghọọla nzọpụta m.
15 A voice of exultation and salvation is in the tabernacles of the just.
Olu iti mkpu ọṅụ na mmeri na-ada nʼime ụlọ ikwu ndị ezi omume: “Aka nri Onyenwe anyị emeela ọtụtụ ihe dị ukwuu!
16 The right hand of the Lord has wrought virtue. The right hand of the Lord has exalted me. The right hand of the Lord has wrought virtue.
Aka nri Onyenwe anyị bụ ihe e weliri elu; aka nri Onyenwe anyị emeela ọtụtụ ihe dị ukwuu!”
17 I will not die, but I will live. And I will declare the works of the Lord.
Agaghị m anwụ, kama aga m adị ndụ kwusaara ndị ọzọ ọrụ ebube Onyenwe anyị rụrụ.
18 When chastising, the Lord chastised me. But he has not delivered me over to death.
Onyenwe anyị tara m ahụhụ nke ukwuu, ma o nyefeeghị m nʼaka ọnwụ.
19 Open the gates of justice to me. I will enter them, and I will confess to the Lord.
Megheere m ọnụ ụzọ ama nke ezi omume; aga m abanye nye Onyenwe anyị ekele.
20 This is the gate of the Lord. The just will enter by it.
Nke a bụ ọnụ ụzọ ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị, ebe ndị ezi omume ga-esite na ya banye.
21 I will confess to you because you have heard me. And you have become my salvation.
Aga m enye gị ekele, nʼihi na ị zara m; ị ghọọla nzọpụta m.
22 The stone which the builders have rejected, this has become the head of the corner.
Nkume ahụ ndị na-ewu ụlọ jụrụ, aghọọla nkume isi ntọala ụlọ;
23 By the Lord has this been done, and it is a wonder before our eyes.
nke a bụ ọrụ aka Onyenwe anyị, ọ bụkwa ihe ịtụnanya nʼanya anyị.
24 This is the day that the Lord has made. Let us exult and rejoice in it.
Nke a bụ ụbọchị Onyenwe anyị anyị mere, ka anyị ṅụrịa ọṅụ, nweekwa obi ụtọ nʼime ya.
25 O Lord, grant salvation to me. O Lord, grant good prosperity.
O Onyenwe anyị, zọpụta anyị; o Onyenwe anyị, mee ka ihe gaara anyị nke ọma.
26 Blessed is he who arrives in the name of the Lord. We have blessed you from the house of the Lord.
Onye a gọziri agọzi ka onye ahụ bụ, nke na-abịa nʼaha Onyenwe anyị. Anyị sitere nʼụlọ Onyenwe anyị na-agọzi gị.
27 The Lord is God, and he has enlightened us. Establish a solemn day amid a dense crowd, even to the horn of the altar.
Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke, ọ bụ ya mere ka ìhè ya mụkwasị anyị. Chịrị igu nkwụ nʼaka gị, soro ndị ji ọṅụ bata nʼogige Chineke bịaruo nʼebe ịchụ aja.
28 You are my God, and I will confess to you. You are my God, and I will exalt you. I will confess to you, for you have heeded me. And you have become my salvation.
Ị bụ Chineke m, aga m eto gị; ị bụ Chineke m, aga m ebuli gị elu.
29 Confess to the Lord, for he is good, for his mercy is forever.
Keleenụ Onyenwe anyị nʼihi na ọ dị mma, ịhụnanya ya na-adịgide ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
