Psalms 129

1 “A song of the degrees.” Many a time have they assailed me from my youth, so should Israel say;

Abụ nrigo. Site na mgbe m bụ nwantakịrị, ha kpagburu m ọtụtụ oge, ka Izrel kwuo.

2 Many a time have they assailed me from my youth: yet have they not prevailed against me.

“Site na mgbe m bụ nwantakịrị, ha kpagburu m ọtụtụ oge, ma ha enweghị ike merie m.

3 Upon my back have ploughmen ploughed; they have drawn long their furrows:

Ndị ikom na-akọ ubi akọgharịala azụ m dịka ala ubi, mee ebe ha kọrọ akọ ka ọ dị ogologo.

4 [Yet] the Lord is righteous; he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.

Ma Onyenwe anyị bụ onye ezi omume; ọ tọpụla m site nʼagbụ niile nke ndị ajọ omume.”

5 May all be put to shame and turned backward that hate Zion;

Ka ndị niile kpọrọ Zayọn asị bụrụ ndị ga-alaghachi azụ nʼihere.

6 May they become like the grass of the roofs, which withereth before it is pulled up;

Ka ha niile dịrị ka ahịhịa na-epu nʼelu ụlọ nke na-akpọnwụ tupu o pupụta;

7 Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor his arm he that bindeth sheaves.

nke onye na-ewe ihe ubi na-adịghị eji ha kpojuo aka ya abụọ, maọbụ onye mkpokọta e nwee ike kpojuo aka ya.

8 Nor do they who pass by say, The blessing of the Lord be with you: we bless you in the name of the Lord.

Ka ndị si nʼụzọ na-agafe hapụ ị sị ha, “Ngọzị Onyenwe anyị dịrị unu. Anyị na-agọzi unu nʼaha Onyenwe anyị.”
