< Psalms 34 >
1 [A Psalm] of David; when he changed his behaviour before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed. I will bless Jehovah at all times; his praise shall continually be 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 make its boast in Jehovah: the meek shall hear, and rejoice.
Mkpụrụobi m ga-anya isi na Onyenwe anyị; ka ndị niile a na-akpagbu gee ntị ṅụrịa ọṅụ.
3 Magnify Jehovah with me, and let us exalt his name together.
Soro m too Onyenwe anyị; ka anyị bulie aha ya elu.
4 I sought Jehovah, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears.
Nʼihi na etikuru m Onyenwe anyị mkpu akwa, ọ zakwara m, napụta m site nʼaka ịtụ ụjọ m niile.
5 They looked unto him, and were enlightened, and their faces were not confounded.
Ihu ndị na-elekwasị ya anya na-enwu dịka ihe; ihere adịghị eme ha.
6 This afflicted one called, and Jehovah heard [him], and saved him out of all his troubles.
Onye ogbenye a kpọkuru Onyenwe anyị, ọ zakwara ya; ọ zọpụtara ya site na nsogbu ya niile.
7 The angel of Jehovah encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.
Mmụọ ozi Onyenwe anyị na-agba ndị niile na-atụ egwu ya gburugburu na-anapụtakwa ha.
8 Taste and see that Jehovah is good: blessed is the man that trusteth 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 Jehovah, 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 young lions are in need and suffer hunger; but they that seek Jehovah shall not want any good.
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 sons, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of Jehovah.
Ụmụ m, bịanụ gee m ntị; aga m ezi unu ihe ịtụ egwu Onyenwe anyị bụ.
12 What man is he that desireth life, [and] loveth days, that he may see good?
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 Depart 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 Jehovah are upon the righteous, and his ears are toward their cry;
Anya Onyenwe anyị dị nʼahụ ndị ezi omume, ntị ya gheekwa oghe nye mkpu akwa ha;
16 The face of Jehovah is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth:
ma ihu Onyenwe anyị na-emegide ndị na-eme ihe ọjọọ, ime ka a hapụ ichetakwa ihe banyere ha nʼụwa.
17 [The righteous] cry, and Jehovah heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.
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 Jehovah is nigh to those that are of a broken heart, and saveth them that are of a contrite spirit.
Onyenwe anyị na-anọ ndị niile obi ha tiwara etiwa nso, ọ na-anapụta ndị niile olileanya ha gwụrụ.
19 Many are the adversities of the righteous, but Jehovah delivereth him out of them all:
Nsogbu na-adakwasị ndị ezi omume na-adị ukwuu, ma Onyenwe anyị na-anapụta ha site na nsogbu ndị ahụ niile.
20 He keepeth all his bones; not one of them is broken.
Ọ na-anapụtakwa ha kpamkpam. Ọ gaghị ekwe ka ọ bụladị otu ọkpụkpụ dị ha nʼahụ gbajie.
21 Evil shall destroy the wicked; and they that hate the righteous shall bear their guilt.
Ihe ọjọọ ga-eme ka onye ajọ omume nwụọ; ndị na-akpọ onye ezi omume asị ka a ga-ama ikpe ọnwụ.
22 Jehovah redeemeth the soul of his servants; and none of them that trust in him shall bear guilt.
Onyenwe anyị na-agbapụta ndị ohu ya; ọ dịghị onye ọbụla nke na-agbaba nʼime ya a ga-ama ikpe ọnwụ.
