Psalms 35
1 A Psalm of David. Strive, O LORD, with them that strive with me; fight against them that fight against me.
Abụ Ọma Devid. O Onyenwe anyị, lụso ha ọgụ bụ ndị na-alụso m ọgụ; buso ha agha bụ ndị na-ebuso m agha.
2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and rise up to my help.
Yikwasị uwe agha gị, werekwa ọta gị; bilie bịa nyere m aka.
3 Draw out also the spear, and the battle-axe, against them that pursue me; say unto my soul: 'I am Thy salvation.'
Sepụta ùbe gị na anyụike agha gị; bịa zute ndị na-achụ m ọsọ. Gwa mkpụrụobi m, “Abụ m nzọpụta gị.”
4 Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion that seek after my soul; let them be turned back and be abashed that devise my hurt.
Mee ka ihere mee ndị niile na-agbalịsị ike igbu m. Ka ndị na-agba izuzu igbu m bụrụkwa ndị a chụghachiri azụ, na ndị ihere mere.
5 Let them be as chaff before the wind, the angel of the LORD thrusting them.
Ka ha dịka igbugbo ọka mgbe oke ifufe na-efe, ka mmụọ ozi Onyenwe anyị bụrụ onye na-achụfu ha.
6 Let their way be dark and slippery, the angel of the LORD pursuing them.
Mee ka ụzọ ha gbaa ọchịchịrị, bụrụkwa ebe na-amị amị; ka mmụọ ozi Onyenwe anyị bụrụ onye na-achụ ha ọsọ.
7 For without cause have they hid for me the pit, even their net, without cause have they digged for my soul.
Ọ bụ ezie na ọ dịghị ihe ọjọọ ọbụla m mere ha, ma ha siere m ọnya, gwukwaara m olulu nʼụzọ m.
8 Let destruction come upon him unawares; and let his net that he hath hid catch himself; with destruction let him fall therein.
Ka mbibi bịakwasị ha na mberede, ka ụgbụ ha zobeere m kee ha; ka ha lakwaa nʼiyi site nʼidaba nʼolulu ahụ ha gwuru.
9 And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD; it shall rejoice in His salvation.
Mgbe ahụ, mkpụrụobi m ga-aṅụrị ọṅụ na Onyenwe anyị, ọ ga-enwekwa obi ụtọ nʼime nzọpụta ya.
10 All my bones shall say: 'LORD, who is like unto Thee, who deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him?'
Ihe niile dị nʼime m ga-eti mkpu sị, “O Onyenwe anyị, ọ bụ onye dịka gị? Ị na-agbapụta ndị na-adịghị ike site nʼaka ndị dị ike karịa ha, ma na-anapụta ndị ogbenye ndị chọrọ enyemaka site nʼaka ndị na-apụnara ha ihe ha nwere nʼike.”
11 Unrighteous witnesses rise up; they ask me of things that I know not.
Ndị akaebe, ndị kwara obi nʼazụ na-apụkwute m; ha na-ebo m ebubo ihe ndị m na-anụbeghị ihe banyere ha na mbụ.
12 They repay me evil for good; bereavement is come to my soul.
Ana m emere ha ihe ọma, ma ha na-akwụghachi m ihe ọjọọ. Nke a na-ewute mmụọ m ruo nʼọnwụ.
13 But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth, I afflicted my soul with fasting; and my prayer, may it return into mine own bosom.
Mgbe ha na-arịa ọrịa, eyiri m akwa mkpe, site na ibu ọnụ weda onwe m nʼala. Mgbe ekpere m lọghachikwutere m na-enweghị ọsịsa,
14 I went about as though it had been my friend or my brother; I bowed down mournful, as one that mourneth for his mother.
ejegharịrị m nʼọnọdụ iru ụjụ, dịka a ga-asị na ọ bụ nwanne m, maọbụ enyi m, jegharịakwa nʼobi ọjọọ dịka a ga-asị na ọ bụ nne m na-arịa ọrịa ahụ.
15 But when I halt they rejoice, and gather themselves together; the abjects gather themselves together against me, and those whom I know not; they tear me, and cease not;
Ma mgbe m dahiere, ha zukọtara na-aṅụrị ọṅụ; mgbe m na-adịghị ele anya, ha biliri imegide m. Ha na-ekwulu m na-esepụghị aka.
16 With the profanest mockeries of backbiting they gnash at me with their teeth.
Dịka ndị ajọ omume, ha na-akwa m emo nʼiwe, na-atakwara m ikikere eze ha.
17 Lord, how long wilt Thou look on? Rescue my soul from their destructions, mine only one from the lions.
O Onyenwe anyị, ọ bụ ruo ole mgbe ka ị ga-anọ na-ele ihe na-eme? Gbapụta ndụ m site na mbibi ha niile, site nʼaka ụmụ ọdụm ndị a, gbapụta ndụ m dị oke ọnụahịa.
18 I will give Thee thanks in the great congregation; I will praise Thee among a numerous people.
Aga m enye gị ekele nʼihu ọha mmadụ dị ukwuu, nʼetiti ọha kachasị ibe ya dị ukwuu, ka m ga-anọ too gị.
19 Let not them that are wrongfully mine enemies rejoice over me; neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.
Ekwekwala ka ndị ahụ bụ ndị iro m, mgbe o nweghị ihe m mere ha, chịa m ọchị; ekwekwala ka ndị ahụ kpọrọ m asị nʼihi iro, mgbe o nweghị ihe m mere ha nwee izuike.
20 For they speak not peace; but they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land.
Nʼihi na ọ bụghị okwu udo ka ha na-ekwu, kama ha na-echepụta ebubo ụgha dị iche iche megide ndị ahụ na-anọrọ onwe ha jụụ nʼime ala ahụ.
21 Yea, they open their mouth wide against me; they say: 'Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it.'
Nʼiju anya, ha na-ele m anya na-eti mkpu na-asị, “Ewoo! Ewoo! Anya anyị abụọ ka anyị ji hụ ya.”
22 Thou hast seen, O LORD; keep not silence; O Lord, be not far from me.
O Onyenwe anyị, ị hụla nke a, agbakwala nkịtị; anọkwala m nʼebe dị anya, O Onyenwe anyị.
23 Rouse Thee, and awake to my judgment, even unto my cause, my God and my Lord.
Teta, bilie bụụrụ m onye mkpepụta m. Kpechitere m ọnụ m, Chineke m na onyenwe m.
24 Judge me, O LORD my God, according to Thy righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me.
O Onyenwe anyị Chineke m, kpepụta m nʼihi ezi omume gị; ekwekwala ka ha chịa m ọchị.
25 Let them not say in their heart: 'Aha, we have our desire'; let them not say: 'We have swallowed him up.'
Ekwekwala ka ha sị, “Ahaa, ọ dị ka anyị tụrụ anya ya!” Maọbụ sị, “Anyị eloola ya!”
26 Let them be ashamed and abashed together that rejoice at my hurt; let them be clothed with shame and confusion that magnify themselves against me.
Mee ka ihere na ọgbaaghara bụrụ nke ndị na-achị m ọchị nʼime mkpagbu m; were ihere na nweda nʼala yinye ha dịka uwe, bụ ndị niile na-ebuli onwe ha elu imegide m.
27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that delight in my righteousness; yea, let them say continually: 'Magnified be the LORD, who delighteth in the peace of His servant.'
Ka ndị niile mkpepụta m dị mma were obi ụtọ tie mkpu ọṅụ; ka ha na-asị mgbe niile, “Ka e bulie Onyenwe anyị elu, onye ọdịmma nke ohu ya na-amasị.”
28 And my tongue shall speak of Thy righteousness, and of Thy praise all the day.
Ire m ga-ekwu banyere ezi omume gị na otuto gị niile ogologo ụbọchị niile.
