< Psalms 91 >
1 O thou that dwellest in the covert of the Most High, and abidest in the shadow of the Almighty;
Onye ahụ na-ebi nʼebe mgbaba Onye kachasị ihe niile elu ga-ezu ike nʼokpuru ndo Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile.
2 I will say of the LORD, who is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust,
Nke a ka m ga-ekwu maka Onyenwe anyị, “Ọ bụ ebe mgbaba m na ebe nchebe m e wusiri ike, Chineke m, onye m na-atụkwasị obi m.”
3 That He will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
Nʼezie, ọ ga-anapụta gị site nʼọnya nke onye osi ọnya na site nʼaka ajọ ọrịa na-efe efe na-eweta ịla nʼiyi.
4 He will cover thee with His pinions, and under His wings shalt thou take refuge; His truth is a shield and a buckler.
Ọ ga-eji nku ya kpuchie gị. Ọ bụkwa nʼokpuru nku ya abụọ, ka ị ga-agbaba zere ndụ, ikwesi ntụkwasị obi ya ga-echebe gị, ghọkwaara gị ọta.
5 Thou shalt not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flieth by day;
Ị gaghị atụ egwu ihe ịtụ oke egwu nke abalị, maọbụ àkụ na-efegharị nʼehihie,
6 Of the pestilence that walketh in darkness, nor of the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
maọbụ ajọ ọrịa na-efe efe, nke na-ejegharị nʼọchịchịrị, ma ọ bụkwanụ ihe mbibi mberede na-eme nʼehihie.
7 A thousand may fall at Thy side, and ten thousand at Thy right hand; it shall not come nigh thee.
Puku mmadụ pụrụ ịda nʼakụkụ gị, iri puku mmadụ nwekwara ike ịda nʼakụkụ aka nri gị, ma ihe ọjọọ ndị a agaghị erute gị nso.
8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold, and see the recompense of the wicked.
Ọ bụ naanị anya gị abụọ ka ị ga-eji hụ ntaramahụhụ nke ndị ajọ omume.
9 For thou hast made the LORD who is my refuge, even the Most High, thy habitation.
Ọ bụrụ na i mee Onye kachasị ihe niile elu ebe obibi gị, ọ bụladị Onyenwe anyị, onye bụ ebe mgbaba m,
10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent.
mgbe ahụ, ihe ọjọọ ọbụla enweghị ike ịdakwasị gị; ihe ike ọbụla enweghị ike ịbịaru ụlọ obibi gị nso.
11 For He will give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
Nʼihi na ọ ga-enye ndị mmụọ ozi ya iwu banyere gị, ka ha chebe gị nʼụzọ gị niile.
12 They shall bear thee upon their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
Ha ga-eji ọbụ aka ha, bulie gị elu ime ka ị ghara ịkpọbi ụkwụ gị na nkume.
13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and asp; the young lion and the serpent shalt thou trample under feet.
Ị ga-azọkwasị ọdụm na ajụala ụkwụ, zọgbukwaa ọdụm na-akpa ike, na agwọ ọjọọ.
14 'Because he hath set his love upon Me, therefore will I deliver him; I will set him on high, because he hath known My name.
“Nʼihi na ọ hụrụ m nʼanya, Mụ onwe m ga-agbapụta ya, ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru; aga m echebe ya, nʼihi na ọ maara aha m.
15 He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him, and bring him to honour.
Ọ ga-akpọku m, aga m azakwa ya. Aga m anọnyere ya nʼime nsogbu ya, aga m adọpụta, ma sọpụrụkwa ya.
16 With long life will I satisfy him, and make Him to behold My salvation.'
Aga m eji ogologo ndụ mee ka afọ ju ya, gosikwa ya nzọpụta m.”
