< Psalms 94 >
1 O Lord God, to whom vengeance belongs; O God, to whom vengeance belongs, show yourself.
O Onyenwe anyị, Chineke onye na-abọ ọbọ, o Chineke, onye na-abọ ọbọ, zipụta onwe gị.
2 Lift up yourself, you judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud.
Bilie, o Onye Ikpe nke ụwa; kwụghachi ndị nganga ụgwọ ọrụ ruuru ha.
3 LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?
Onyenwe anyị, ọ bụ ruo ole mgbe? Ọ bụ ruo ole mgbe ka ndị na-eme ajọ omume ga-anọgide na-aṅụrị ọṅụ?
4 How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
Ha na-ekwuwapụ okwu mpako; ndị niile na-eme ajọ ihe jupụtara nʼitu ọnụ.
5 They break in pieces your people, O LORD, and afflict your heritage.
Ha na-azọpịa ndị gị, O Onyenwe anyị; ha na-emegbu ihe nketa gị.
6 They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.
Ha na-egbu ndị di ha nwụrụ na ndị ọbịa; ha na-egbu ndị na-enweghị nna.
7 Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it.
Ha na-asị, “Onyenwe anyị anaghị ahụ ihe ndị a; Chineke Jekọb na-agba nkịtị.”
8 Understand, you brutish among the people: and you fools, when will you be wise?
Lezienụ anya, unu ndị amamihe kọrọ nʼetiti ndị m; unu ndị nzuzu, olee mgbe unu ga-amụta ihe?
9 He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?
Ọ pụtara na onye kpụrụ ntị anaghị anụ ihe? Ọ pụtara na onye kere anya anaghị ahụ ụzọ?
10 He that chastises the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teaches man knowledge, shall not he know?
Ọ pụtara na onye na-adọ mba niile aka na ntị agaghị ata ha ahụhụ? Ọ pụtara na onye na-ezi mmadụ ihe enweghị ihe ọmụma?
11 The LORD knows the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
Onyenwe anyị maara echiche obi mmadụ; ọ maara na ihe mmadụ na-eche nʼobi ya bụ naanị ihe na-enweghị isi.
12 Blessed is the man whom you chasten, O LORD, and teach him out of your law;
Onye a gọziri agọzi ka mmadụ ahụ bụ, onye ị na-adọ aka na ntị, O Onyenwe anyị, onye ahụ ị na-akụziri ihe site nʼiwu gị;
13 That you may give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be dig for the wicked.
ị na-enye ya izuike site nʼụbọchị nsogbu; tutu ruo mgbe a ga-egwuru ndị ajọ omume olulu.
14 For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.
Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị agaghị ajụ ndị ya; ọ gaghị agbakụta ihe nketa ya azụ.
15 But judgment shall return to righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it.
Ezi omume ga-abụ ntọala ikpe ikpe niile; ndị niile ndị ziri ezi nʼobi ga-agbasokwa ya.
16 Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
Onye ga-ebiliri m imegide ndị ajọ omume? Onye ga-eguzo nʼọnọdụ m imegide ndị na-eme ajọ ihe?
17 Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had almost dwelled in silence.
A sị na Onyenwe anyị abịaghị nyere m aka, agaara m rịị abụ onye nwụrụ anwụ.
18 When I said, My foot slips; your mercy, O LORD, held me up.
Mgbe m kwuru sị, “Ụkwụ m na-agbuchapụ,” ọ bụ ịhụnanya gị, O Onyenwe anyị, kwagidere m.
19 In the multitude of my thoughts within me your comforts delight my soul.
Mgbe oke nchekasị obi batara nʼime m, nkasiobi gị wetara mkpụrụobi m ọṅụ.
20 Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with you, which frames mischief by a law?
A ga-ejikọta gị na ocheeze ọchịchị ya rụrụ arụ, nke na-eweta mmekpa ahụ site nʼiwu ya?
21 They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.
Ndị ajọ omume na-ejikọta onwe ha imegide ndị ezi omume na-amakwa ndị aka ha dị ọcha ikpe ọnwụ.
22 But the LORD is my defense; and my God is the rock of my refuge.
Ma Onyenwe anyị a bụrụla ebe mgbaba e wusiri ike nye m, na Chineke m na oke nkume ebe m na-ezere ndụ.
23 And he shall bring on them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; yes, the LORD our God shall cut them off.
Ọ ga-akwụghachi ha ụgwọ ọrụ kwesiri mmehie ha, lakwaa ha nʼiyi nʼihi ajọ omume ha; Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị ga-ala ha nʼiyi.
