Psalms 22
1 For the music director. To the tune “Doe of the Dawn.” A psalm of David. My God, my God, why have you abandoned me? Why are you so far away when I groan, asking for help?
Abụ Ọma dịrị onyeisi abụ. Nʼusoro olu abụ nke “Nne ele nke ụtụtụ.” Abụ Ọma Devid. Chineke m, Chineke m, gịnị mere i jiri hapụ m? Gịnị mere i ji nọ ebe dị anya ịzọpụta m, nʼebe dị anya site nʼịsụ ude m niile?
2 My God, every day I cry out to you, but you don't answer; at night too, but I get no rest.
O Chineke m, ana m akpọku gị nʼehihie, ma ị dịghị aza m, nʼabalị kwa, ma ọ dịghị izuike m nwere.
3 Yet you are holy, and the praises of Israel are your throne.
Nʼezie, i nọ nʼocheeze gị dịka Onye ahụ dị Nsọ; ị bụ otuto ndị Izrel.
4 Our forefathers trusted in you; they trusted and you rescued them.
Nna anyị ha tụkwasịrị gị obi; ha tụkwasịrị gị obi, ị zọpụtakwara ha.
5 They cried out to you for help, and they were saved. They trusted in you and were not defeated.
Ha kpọkuru gị si otu a bụrụ ndị a zọpụtara; ihere emeghị ha nʼihi na ha tụkwasịrị gị obi.
6 But I'm a worm, not a man, scorned and despised by everyone.
Abụ m idide, abụghị m mmadụ; onye ndị ọzọ na-akwa emo, onye ndị mmadụ na-eleda anya.
7 People who see me mock me. They laugh at me and shake their heads, saying,
Ndị niile hụrụ m na-achị m ọchị; na-emiri m ọnụ ịkwa emo, na-efufekwa isi ha na-asị.
8 “He trusts in the Lord—well then, let the Lord save him! If the Lord is such a friend, then let the Lord rescue him!”
“O na-atụkwasị Onyenwe anyị obi; ka Onyenwe anyị bịa gbapụta ya. Ya napụta ya ebe ọ bụ na ihe ya masịrị ya.”
9 However, you brought me safely through birth, and led me to trust in you at my mother's breasts.
Ma Onyenwe anyị, ọ bụ gị wepụtara m site nʼafọ nne m. Ọ bụ gị mere ka m tụkwasị gị obi, ọ bụladị mgbe m ka na-aṅụ ara.
10 I was entrusted to you from birth; from the time I was born you have been my God.
Site nʼoge amụrụ m ka e nyefere m nʼaka gị. Site nʼafọ nne m, ka gị onwe gị bụ Chineke m.
11 Do not be distant from me, because trouble is close by and no one else can help.
Anọla m ebe dị anya, nʼihi na nsogbu dị nso. Ọ dịkwaghị onye inyeaka nọ nso.
12 Enemies surround me like a herd of bulls; strong bulls from Bashan have encircled me.
Ọtụtụ oke ehi gbara m gburugburu; oke ehi dị ike nke Bashan gbara m gburugburu.
13 Like roaring lions tearing at their prey they open their mouths wide against me.
Ọdụm ndị na-agbọ ụja mgbe ha na-adọgbu anụ ọhịa asaghepụla ọnụ ha megide m.
14 I feel like I'm being poured out like water. I'm falling apart as if all my bones have become loose. My mind feels like it's wax melting inside me.
A wụpụla m dịka mmiri, ọkpụkpụ m niile apụkwaala nʼọnọdụ ha. Obi m agbazela dịka mmanụ, obi ịlọ mmiri ewerela ọnọdụ nʼime m.
15 My strength has dried up like a piece of broken pottery. My tongue is stuck to the roof of my mouth. You're burying me as if I'm already dead.
Ike ọbụla adịghịkwa m nʼahụ, dịka a ga-asị na m bụ ụrọ nke anwụ mịkọọrọ mmiri dị ya nʼime. Ire m na-araparakwa m nʼọnụ, nʼihi na ị tọgbọrọ m nʼọnụ ọnwụ.
16 Evil men surround me like a pack of dogs. They have pierced my hands and feet.
Ọtụtụ nkịta agbaala m gburugburu; otù ndị na-eme ihe ọjọọ agbaala m gburugburu, ha adupuola m aka m na ụkwụ m.
17 I'm so thin I can count all my bones. People stare at me and gloat.
A pụrụ ịgụta ọkpụkpụ m niile ọnụ; ndị mmadụ na-ele m anya na-emikwa ọnụ ọchị
18 They divide my clothing among them; they roll dice for my clothes.
Ha na-eke uwe m nʼetiti ha, ha sitere nʼife nza kee uwe m.
19 But you, Lord, don't be far away from me! You are my strength—hurry, come and help me!
Ma gị, Onyenwe anyị, anọla m ebe dị anya; gị Onye bụ ike m, mee ngwangwa bịa nyere m aka.
20 Save me from death by the sword! Save my life—the only one I have—from the dogs!
Napụta ndụ m site na mma agha, site nʼike ụmụ nkịta, napụta ndụ m nke dị oke ọnụahịa.
21 Rescue me from the mouth of the lion and from the wild bulls!
Gbapụta m site nʼọnụ ọdụm ndị a, zọpụta m site na mpi atụ ndị a.
22 I will tell my people all the wonderful things you have done; I will praise you in the congregation.
Aga m ekwupụta aha gị nye ụmụnna m; nʼetiti ọha mmadụ aga m enye gị otuto.
23 Praise the Lord, all who worship him! Honor him, every descendant of Jacob! Be in awe of him, every descendant of Israel!
Toonu Onyenwe anyị! Unu niile bụ ndị na-atụ egwu ya; unu bụ ndị agbụrụ Jekọb, sọpụrụnụ ya! Tụọnụ ya egwu, unu agbụrụ Izrel!
24 For he has not ridiculed or scorned the suffering of the poor; he has not turned away from them, he has listened to their cries for help.
Nʼihi na o ledaghị ahụhụ onye a na-akpagbu anya maọbụ kwaa ya emo; o lefughị ya anya kama mgbe ọ kpọkuru ya, ọ nụrụ olu akwa ya.
25 You are the subject of my praise in the great assembly. I will fulfill my promises before those who worship you.
Isiokwu otuto m nʼetiti ọha mmadụ sitere na gị; aga m emezukwa nkwa niile m kwere gị nʼihu ndị ahụ na-atụ egwu gị.
26 The poor shall eat, and they shall be satisfied. All who come to the Lord will praise him—may you all live forever!
Ndị ogbenye ga-eri nri, rijuo afọ ha, ndị niile na-achọ Onyenwe anyị ga-eto ya ka mkpụrụobi unu dị ndụ ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
27 Everyone in the whole world will repent and return to the Lord; all the nations will worship before you.
Nsọtụ elu ụwa niile ga-echeta, ma laghachikwute Onyenwe anyị. Ezinaụlọ nke mba niile dị iche iche ga-akpọ isiala nʼihu ya.
28 For kingly power belongs to the Lord; he is the one who rules over the nations.
Nʼihi na ike ọchịchị bụ nke Onyenwe anyị, ọ na-achịkwa mba niile.
29 All who prosper come to feast and worship. Bow down before him, all those destined for the grave—for none can keep themselves alive.
Ndị ọgaranya niile nke elu ụwa ga-eri oriri ma fee ya; ihe niile na-anwụ anwụ ga-akpọ isiala nʼihu ya; ndị na-apụghị idebe onwe ha ndụ.
30 Our descendants will serve him; they will tell the next generation about the Lord.
Agbụrụ anyị ga-ejere ya ozi; a ga-akọrọ ọgbọ ndị na-abịa nʼihu ihe banyere onyenwe anyị.
31 They will come and tell those yet to be born how good the Lord is, and all that he has done!
Ha ga-ekwusa ezi omume ya nye ọgbọ niile na-abịa nʼihu, bụ ndị a na-amụbeghị nʼihi na o meela ya.
