Psalms 10
1 Why stand you afar off, O Lord? [why] do you overlook [us] in times of need, in affliction?
Onyenwe anyị, gịnị mere i ji na-eguzoro onwe gị nʼebe dị anya? Gịnị mere ị na-ezo onwe gị nʼoge nsogbu?
2 While the ungodly one acts proudly, the poor is hotly pursued: [the wicked] are taken in the crafty counsels which they imagine.
Site na mpako, onye ajọ omume na-emegbu ndị na-adịghị ike, ndị mpịa mpịa aghụghọ ya mara dịka ọnya.
3 Because the sinner praises himself for the desires of his heart; and the unjust one blesses himself.
Ọ na-anya isi banyere ọchịchọ niile nke obi ya, ọ na-elelị Onyenwe anyị anya ma na-agọzi ndị oke ọchịchọ.
4 The sinner has provoked the Lord: according to the abundance of his pride he will not seek after [him]: God is not before him.
Nʼọnọdụ mpako ya, onye ajọ omume anaghị achọ Chineke, nʼechiche ya niile, ọ naghị eche banyere ya.
5 His ways are profane at all times; your judgments are removed from before him: he will gain the mastery over all his enemies.
Ma ihe niile ọ na-eme na-agara ya nke ọma; ọ bụ onye na-ebuli onwe ya elu, iwu gị niile dịkwa anya site nʼebe ọ nọ; ọ na-elelị ndị iro ya niile.
6 For he has said in his heart, I shall not be moved, [continuing] without evil from generation to generation.
Nʼime obi ya, ọ na-asị, “Ọ dịghị ihe ga-emetụta m. Aga m anọ nʼọnọdụ ọṅụ mgbe niile. Nsogbu ọbụla agaghị adakwasị m.”
7 Whose mouth is full of cursing, and bitterness, and fraud: under his tongue are trouble and pain.
Ọnụ ya jupụtara nʼokwu ụgha na ịba mba ime ihe ọjọọ, nʼokpuru ire ya ka nsogbu na ajọ ihe dịkwa.
8 He lies in wait with rich [men] in secret places, in order to kill the innocent: his eyes are set against the poor.
Ha na-ezo onwe ha nʼobodo nta dị iche iche, nʼebe zooro ezo ka ha na-anọ, na-eche itigbu ndị aka ha dị ọcha.
9 He lies in wait in secret as a lion in his den: he lies in wait to ravish the poor, to ravish the poor when he draws him [after him]: he will bring him down in his snare.
Dịka ọdụm, ha anaghị eme mkpọtụ ọbụla, ọ na-eche ịdakwasị ụmụ ogbenye. Dịka ndị bụ dinta si ejide ụmụ anụmanụ nʼọnya ha siri, otu a ka ha si ejide ụmụ ogbenye.
10 He will bow down and fall when he has mastered the poor.
Ụmụ ogbenye ndị a na-ada nʼala nʼihi ịdị ike ya, ọ na-azọpịakwa ha.
11 For he has said in his heart, God has forgotten: he has turned away his face so as never to look.
Nʼime obi ya, ọ na-asị, “Chineke echefuola. O zofuola ihu ya, ọ dịghị mgbe ọ hụrụ ya.”
12 Arise, O Lord God; let your hand be lifted up: forget not the poor.
Bilie O Onyenwe anyị! O Chineke welie aka gị, echefukwala ndị na-enweghị onye inyeaka.
13 Therefore, has the wicked provoked God? for he has said in his heart, He will not require [it].
Gịnị mere onye ajọ omume ji na-eleda Chineke anya? Gịnị mere o ji na-asị nʼime obi ya, “Ọ gaghị akpọ m ka m zaa ajụjụ banyere omume m”?
14 You see [it]; for you do observe trouble and wrath, to deliver them into your hands: the poor has been left to you; you were a helper to the orphan.
Ma gị, O Chineke, ị na-ahụ nsogbu na ihe mwute, ị na-atule ihe ị ga-eme banyere ha. Ndị a na-emegbu na-atụkwasị gị obi, nʼihi na ị bụ onye inyeaka ndị na-enweghị nna.
15 Break you the arm of the sinner and wicked man: his sin shall be sought for, and shall not be found.
Gbajie aka onye ajọ omume a na-eme ihe ọjọọ, kpọọ ya ka ọ zaa ajụjụ banyere ajọ omume ya niile nke a na-apụghị ịchọpụta.
16 The Lord shall reign for ever, even for ever and ever: you Gentiles shall perish out his land.
Onyenwe anyị bụ eze ruo mgbe ebighị ebi. Ọ ga-esite nʼala ya kpochapụ mba niile.
17 The Lord has heard the desire of the poor: your ear has inclined to the preparation of their heart;
O Onyenwe anyị, ị maara ọchịchọ obi ndị niile a na-akpagbu; ị na-ege ntị na mkpu akwa ha ma kasịekwa ha obi,
18 to plead for the orphan and afflicted, that man may no more boast upon the earth.
Ị na-echedo ndị na-enweghị nna na ndị niile a na-emegbu emegbu, ka mmadụ efu, onye e kere eke, ghara imenye ha egwu ọzọ.
