Psalms 37
1 A Psalm of David. Fret not thyself because of evil-doers, neither be thou envious against them that work unrighteousness.
Abụ Ọma Devid. Echegbula onwe gị nʼihi ndị na-eme ihe ọjọọ, maọbụ kwosa ndị na-eme ihe ọjọọ ekworo;
2 For they shall soon wither like the grass, and fade as the green herb.
nʼihi na mgbe na-adịghị anya, ha ga-akpọnwụ dịka ahịhịa, dịka ahịhịa ndụ, ha ga-anwụkwa.
3 Trust in the LORD, and do good; dwell in the land, and cherish faithfulness.
Tụkwasị Onyenwe anyị obi meekwa ihe ziri ezi; biri nʼala na nchebe, rijuokwa afọ.
4 So shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and He shall give thee the petitions of thy heart.
Ka ihe Onyenwe anyị tọọ gị ụtọ. Ọ ga-enyekwa gị ihe niile bụ ọchịchọ nke obi gị.
5 Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in Him, and He will bring it to pass.
Nyefee onwe gị nʼaka Onyenwe anyị; tụkwasị ya obi, ọ ga-emere gị nke a:
6 And He will make thy righteousness to go forth as the light, and thy right as the noonday.
Ọ ga-eme ka ezi omume gị pụta ìhè dịka ihe nke chị ọbụbọ, meekwa ka izi ezi nke ikpe gị dịka ihe nke anyanwụ nʼehihie.
7 Resign thyself unto the LORD, and wait patiently for Him; fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
Dere duu nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, were ndidi chere ya; echegbula onwe gị mgbe ndị ọzọ na-enwe ọganihu, mgbe ha na-emezu atụmatụ ọjọọ ha niile.
8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; fret not thyself, it tendeth only to evil-doing.
Kwụsị iwe iwe, kwụsịkwa oke iwe; echegbula onwe gị, ọ na-eduba naanị nʼihe ọjọọ.
9 For evil-doers shall be cut off; but those that wait for the LORD, they shall inherit the land.
Nʼihi na a ga-ala ndị ajọ omume nʼiyi, ma ndị niile olileanya ha dị na Onyenwe anyị ga-eketa ala ahụ dịka ihe nketa ha.
10 And yet a little while, and the wicked is no more; yea, thou shalt look well at his place, and he is not.
Ọ fọdụrụ nwa oge nta, ndị ajọ omume ga-agabiga; ọ bụ ezie na ị ga-achọ ha, ma ị gaghị achọta ha.
11 But the humble shall inherit the land, and delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
Ma ndị niile dị nwayọọ nʼobi ga-eketa ala a dịka ihe nketa ha, ha ga-enwekwa udo dị ukwuu.
12 The wicked plotteth against the righteous, and gnasheth at him with his teeth.
Ndị ajọ omume na-agba izu ọjọọ megide ndị ezi omume, na-ata ikekere eze megide ha;
13 The Lord doth laugh at him; for He seeth that his day is coming.
ma onyenwe anyị na-achị ndị ajọ omume ọchị, nʼihi na ọ maara na ụbọchị ha na-abịa.
14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow; to cast down the poor and needy, to slay such as are upright in the way;
Ndị ajọ omume amịpụtala mma agha ha, kwee ụta ha ime ka ndị nọ na mkpa na ndị ogbenye daa, igbu ndị ụzọ ha ziri ezi.
15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
Ma ha ga-ewere mma agha ha gbuo onwe ha, kụrisiekwa ụta ha.
16 Better is a little that the righteous hath than the abundance of many wicked.
Ihe ntakịrị nke onye ezi omume nwere dị mma karịa akụnụba ọtụtụ ndị ajọ omume;
17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken; but the LORD upholdeth the righteous.
nʼihi na a ga-etiji ike niile nke ndị ajọ omume, ma Onyenwe anyị ga-akwagide ndị ezi omume.
18 The LORD knoweth the days of them that are wholehearted; and their inheritance shall be for ever.
Ndị na-enweghị ịta ụta na-ebi ndụ ha nʼokpuru nlekọta Onyenwe anyị, ihe nketa ha ga-adịgide ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
19 They shall not be ashamed in the time of evil; and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
Nʼoge ihe ndakwasị, ha agaghị akpọnwụ; ha ga-erijukwa afọ nʼụbọchị ụnwụ.
20 For the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs — they shall pass away in smoke, they shall pass away.
Ma ndị ajọ omume ga-ala nʼiyi. Nʼagbanyeghị na ndị iro Onyenwe anyị dịka ịma mma nke ubi ahịhịa ndụ, ha ga-agabigakwa ngwangwa nʼanya dịka anwụrụ ọkụ.
21 The wicked borroweth, and payeth not; but the righteous dealeth graciously, and giveth.
Ndị na-eme ihe ọjọọ na-ebiri mmadụ ihe ma ha adịghị akwụghachi ya, ma onye ezi omume na-eme amara na-enye ndị ọzọ ihe o nwere.
22 For such as are blessed of Him shall inherit the land; and they that are cursed of Him shall be cut off.
Ndị Onyenwe anyị gọziri agọzi ga-eketa akụ nke ụwa, ma ndị ọ bụrụ ọnụ ka a ga-egbuchapụ.
23 It is of the LORD that a man's goings are established; and He delighted in his way.
Ọ bụrụ na Onyenwe anyị nwere mmasị na ndụ mmadụ, ọ ga-eme ka nzọ ụkwụ ya guzosie ike;
24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; for the LORD upholdeth his hand.
ọ bụrụ na ọ kpọbie ụkwụ, ọ gaghị ada, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị na-eji aka ya ejigide ya.
25 I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
Abụ m nwantakịrị na mbụ, ugbu a, abụ m agadi, ma ahụbeghị m ebe e chefuru ndị ezi omume, maọbụ ebe ụmụ ha na-arịọ nri.
26 All the day long he dealeth graciously, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.
Mgbe niile, ha na-eme amara jiri obi ha na-agbazinye ndị mmadụ ihe, ụmụ ha ga-abụ ngọzị.
27 Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.
Site nʼihe ọjọọ pụọ, mee ezi ihe, mgbe ahụ, i ga-ebi nʼala a ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
28 For the LORD loveth justice, and forsaketh not His saints; they are preserved for ever; but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
Onyenwe anyị na-ahụ onye ezi omume na ikpe ziri ezi nʼanya. Ọ gaghị ahapụkwa ndị ya kwesiri ntụkwasị obi. A ga-echebe ha ruo mgbe ebighị ebi, ma ụmụ ndị ajọ omume ka a ga-egbuchapụ;
29 The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.
ndị ezi omume ga-eketa ala ahụ dịka ihe nketa ha, ha ga-ebikwa nʼime ya ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
30 The mouth of the righteous uttereth wisdom, and his tongue speaketh justice.
Okwu amamihe na-esi nʼọnụ onye ezi omume pụta, ire ya na-ekwukwa ihe ziri ezi.
31 The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps slide.
Iwu Chineke ya dị ya nʼobi; nzọ ukwu ha adịghị agbụchapụ.
32 The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.
Ndị ajọ omume na-echere ndị ezi omume na nzuzo, na-achọ ịnapụ ha ndụ ha;
33 The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor suffer him to be condemned when he is judged.
ma Onyenwe anyị agaghị ahapụ ha nʼaka ha, ọ gaghị ekwe ka a maa ha ikpe mgbe a na-ekpe ha ikpe.
34 Wait for the LORD, and keep His way, and He will exalt thee to inherit the land; when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.
Chere Onyenwe anyị, debekwa ụzọ ya. Ọ ga-ebuli gị elu ka i nweta ala ahụ dịka ihe nketa; mgbe a na-egbuchapụ ndị ajọ omume, ị ga-eji anya gị hụ ya.
35 I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a leafy tree in its native soil.
Ahụla m onye ajọ omume na nwoke na-eme ihe ike, ka ọ na-eto, na-awasa, dịka osisi dị ndụ nʼezi ala,
36 But one passed by, and, lo, he was not; yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.
ma ọ dịghị anya, ọ nwụrụ, nʼagbanyeghị na m chọgharịrị ya, ọ dịghị ebe ọbụla a hụrụ ya.
37 Mark the man of integrity, and behold the upright; for there is a future for the man of peace.
Ma tụgharịa uche banyere ndị ezi omume, rịbaa ndị ụzọ ha ziri ezi ama; ọganihu dịịrị onye udo.
38 But transgressors shall be destroyed together; the future of the wicked shall be cut off.
Ma a ga-ala ndị mmehie niile nʼiyi; ọ dịghị olileanya dịịrị ndị ajọ omume.
39 But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD; He is their stronghold in the time of trouble.
Nzọpụta nke ndị ezi omume si nʼaka Onyenwe anyị bịa; ọ bụ ebe ha e wusiri ike nʼoge nsogbu.
40 And the LORD helpeth them, and delivereth them; He delivereth them from the wicked, and saveth them, because they have taken refuge in Him.
Onyenwe anyị na-enyere ha aka, na-anapụtakwa ha ma na-azọpụtakwa ha site nʼaka ndị ajọ omume, nʼihi na ha mere ya ebe mgbaba ha.
