Psalms 141
1 A psalm of David. Lord, I'm calling out to you! Please hurry up and help me! Please listen to me when I cry out to you!
Abụ Ọma Devid. O Onyenwe anyị, ana m akpọku gị; bịakwute m ọsịịsọ. Nụrụ olu m mgbe m na-akpọku gị.
2 May my prayer be like incense before you, my uplifted hands like an evening offering.
Ka ekpere m bịa nʼihu gị dịka ihe na-esi isi ụtọ; ka nchili elu nke m chịlịri aka m abụọ dịrị ka aja a na-achụ nʼanyasị.
3 Lord, make sure I don't say anything I shouldn't—keep a watch over my conversations.
Nyere m aka ka m mechie ọnụ m, o Onyenwe anyị; na-echekwa egbugbere ọnụ m nche.
4 Don't let me think about evil things or take part in doing anything wrong with wicked people. I won't join in eating fancy food at their feasts.
Ekwela ka obi m nwee mmasị nʼihe ọjọọ, isonye ndị na-eme ihe ọjọọ rụọ ọrụ ajọ omume niile dị iche iche; ekwela ka m soro ha rikọọ ihe ụtọ ha niile.
5 Let a good person punish me in love—let them correct me. It will be like an anointing—I won't refuse it. But I still pray against those who do evil.
Ka onye ezi omume tie m ihe, nke a na-egosi obi ebere; ka ọ baara m mba, nke a bụ mmanụ nʼelu isi m. Isi m agaghị ajụ ya. Otu ọ dị, ekpere m na-emegide ọrụ niile nke ndị na-eme ihe ọjọọ.
6 They shall be thrown down by the power of the rock that judges them, and then they will recognize what I said was true!
A ga-esite nʼelu nkume dị elu tụda ndị na-achị ha, mgbe ahụ, ndị ajọ omume ga-amata na okwu m niile bụ eziokwu.
7 Just as the earth is broken up by the plough, so shall their bones be scattered at the mouth of Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
Ha ga-ekwu sị, “Dịka mmadụ na-egburi, na-akọgharị ala, otu a ka a ghasasịrị ọkpụkpụ anyị nʼọnụ ili.” (Sheol h7585)
8 But I'm looking to you, Lord God, for I find protection in you. Don't let me die!
Ma olileanya m dị na gị, Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị nʼime gị ka m gbabara izere ndụ, ararala m nyefee nʼaka ọnwụ.
9 Keep me safe from the traps they have set to catch me, from the snares of evil people.
Napụta m ka m ghara ịdaba nʼime ọnya igbudu niile nke ndị na-eme ajọ ihe siiri, sitekwa nʼọnya niile ha siiri m.
10 Let them fall into their own traps while I pass by unharmed.
Ka ndị ajọ omume daba nʼime ụgbụ ha, ma mụ onwe m ga-agabiga na-emerụghị ahụ ọbụla.
