Psalms 73
1 A Psalme committed to Asaph. Yet God is good to Israel: euen, to the pure in heart.
Abụ Ọma Asaf. Nʼezie, Chineke dịịrị Izrel mma, dịkwara ndị obi ha dị ọcha.
2 As for me, my feete were almost gone: my steps had well neere slipt.
Ma mụ onwe m, ọ fọdụrụ nwantịị ka m zọhie ụkwụ, ọ fọdụrụ nwantịị ka ụkwụ m gbụchapụ.
3 For I feared at the foolish, when I sawe the prosperitie of the wicked.
Nʼihi na e kwosara m ndị mpako ekworo; mgbe m hụrụ ịba ụba nke ndị ajọ omume.
4 For there are no bandes in their death, but they are lustie and strong.
Ha anaghị adọgbu onwe ha; ahụ ha gbara abụba, siekwa ike.
5 They are not in trouble as other men, neither are they plagued with other men.
Nsogbu niile mmadụ ibe ha na-enwe adịghị erute ha. Ha enweghị mkpa ọbụla nke na-akpa ha dịka ndị ọzọ nwere.
6 Therefore pride is as a chayne vnto them, and crueltie couereth them as a garment.
Nʼihi nke a, nganga bụ ihe ịnya nʼolu ha; ha jikwa ihe ike kpuchie onwe ha dịka uwe.
7 Their eyes stande out for fatnesse: they haue more then heart can wish.
Mmehie na-esite nʼobi ọjọọ ha apụta; echiche ọjọọ ha enweghị ngụta.
8 They are licentious, and speake wickedly of their oppression: they talke presumptuously.
Ha na-akwa emo, na-ejikwa iro ekwu okwu; nʼime mpako ha, ha na-aba mba imegbu ndị ọzọ.
9 They set their mouth against heauen, and their tongue walketh through the earth.
Ha ji ọnụ ha na-ekwu na eluigwe bụ nke ha, ha jikwa ire ha kwuo na ụwa niile bụ nke ha.
10 Therefore his people turne hither: for waters of a full cup are wrung out to them.
Nʼihi nke a, ndị ha na-eso ha, na-aṅụrụ okwu ha ebe ọ bara ụba dịka mmiri.
11 And they say, Howe doeth God know it? or is there knowledge in the most High?
Ha na-asị, “Olee otu Chineke ga-esi mara? Ọ dịkwanụ ihe Onye kachasị ihe niile elu maara?”
12 Lo, these are the wicked, yet prosper they alway, and increase in riches.
Otu a ka ndị ajọ omume dị, ha na-ebi ndụ na-enweghị nsogbu; akụnụba ha na-amụbakwa.
13 Certainely I haue clensed mine heart in vaine, and washed mine hands in innocencie.
Nʼezie, ọ bụ naanị nʼefu ka m debere obi m ọcha, nʼefu ka m kwọrọ aka m abụọ nʼemeghị ihe ọjọọ.
14 For dayly haue I bene punished, and chastened euery morning.
Ogologo ụbọchị niile, anọ m na nsogbu; ụtụtụ niile ka m na-anata ntaramahụhụ.
15 If I say, I will iudge thus, beholde the generation of thy children: I haue trespassed.
Ọ bụrụ na m kwuru sị, “Nke a ka m ga-ekwu,” agaara m abụ onye na-ekwesighị ntụkwasị obi nʼetiti ụmụ gị.
16 Then thought I to know this, but it was too painefull for me,
Mgbe m gbalịrị ịghọta ihe ndị a niile, ọ ghọọrọ m ihe mwute,
17 Vntill I went into the Sanctuarie of God: then vnderstoode I their ende.
tutu ruo mgbe m bara nʼebe nsọ Chineke; mgbe ahụ ka m ghọtara ihe ga-eme ha nʼikpeazụ.
18 Surely thou hast set them in slipperie places, and castest them downe into desolation.
Nʼezie, ị na-eguzo ha nʼala na-achị achị; ị na-atụda ha, laa ha nʼiyi.
19 How suddenly are they destroyed, perished and horribly consumed,
Lee, ka ha si laa nʼiyi nʼotu ntabi anya, bụrụ ndị ihe egwu dị iche iche kpochapụrụ kpamkpam!
20 As a dreame when one awaketh! O Lord, when thou raisest vs vp, thou shalt make their image despised.
Dịka nrọ, mgbe mmadụ na-eteta, otu a, O Onyenwe anyị, mgbe i tetara, ị ga-eleda ha anya dịka echiche na-agaghị emezu.
21 Certainely mine heart was vexed, and I was pricked in my reines:
Mgbe m nọ nʼobi mwute; mmụọ m dara mba.
22 So foolish was I and ignorant: I was a beast before thee.
Abụ m onye nzuzu na onye na-amaghị ihe. Adị m ka anụ ọhịa nʼihu gị.
23 Yet I was alway with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand.
Ma ana m anọnyere gị mgbe niile; ị na-ejide m nʼaka nri m.
24 Thou wilt guide me by thy counsell, and afterward receiue me to glory.
Ị na-eji ndụmọdụ gị na-edu m, ma emesịa, ị ga-anabata m nʼebube gị.
25 Whom haue I in heauen but thee? and I haue desired none in the earth with thee.
Onye ka m nwere nʼeluigwe ma ọ bụghị gị? Ọ dịghị ihe ụwa a nwere nke m ga-achọsi ike karịa gị.
26 My flesh fayleth and mine heart also: but God is the strength of mine heart, and my portion for euer.
Anụ ahụ m na mkpụrụobi m nwere ike ịda mba, ma Chineke bụ ike nke obi m, na ihe nketa m ruo ebighị ebi.
27 For loe, they that withdrawe themselues from thee, shall perish: thou destroyest all them that goe a whoring from thee.
Ndị niile nọpụrụ gị nʼebe dị anya ga-ala nʼiyi. Ị ga-alakwa ndị niile na-ekwesighị ntụkwasị obi, nye gị nʼiyi.
28 As for me, it is good for me to draw neere to God: therefore I haue put my trust in the Lord God, that I may declare all thy workes.
Ma nye mụ onwe m, ọ dị mma ịnọ Chineke nso. Emeela m Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị ebe mgbaba m. Aga m akọ banyere ọrụ gị niile dị iche iche.
