Psalms 90
1 BOOK FOURTH: “A prayer of Moses the man of God.” Lord, a place of refuge hast thou been unto us in all generations.
Ekpere Mosis, bụ onyeozi Chineke. O Onyenwe anyị, ebe obibi ka gị onwe gị bụrịị nye anyị nʼọgbọ niile.
2 Before yet the mountains were brought forth, or thou hadst ever produced the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.
Tupu e kee ugwu niile, na tupu a kpụọ ụwa na elu ụwa, siterị na mgbe ebighị ebi ruo ebighị ebi, ị bụ Chineke.
3 Thou turnest man to contrition, and sayest, Return ye children of men.
Ị na-eme ka mmadụ laghachi bụrụ aja mgbe i kwuru okwu sị, “Unu ụmụ mmadụ, laghachi bụrụ aja.”
4 For a thousand years are in thy eyes but as the yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
Puku afọ dị nʼanya gị dịka otu ụbọchị; ha dịka ụnyaahụ gafere agafe maọbụ ka otu awa nke anyasị.
5 Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning [they grow] like the grass which changeth.
Nʼime ụra nke ọnwụ ka ị na-ekpochapụ mmadụ; ha dịka ahịhịa ọhụrụ nke na-epupụta nʼisi ụtụtụ,
6 In the morning it blossometh, and is changed: in the evening it is mowed off, and withereth.
ọ bụ ezie na ọ na-agbawa ụzarị na-etokwa eto nʼụtụtụ, ma nʼanyasị, ọ na-akpọnwụ ma-achanwụkwaa.
7 For [thus] are we consumed by thy anger, and by thy fury are we terrified.
E meela ka anyị gwụsịa nʼihi oke iwe gị megide anyị; anyị na-amakwa jijiji nʼihi ọnụma gị.
8 Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our concealed sins before the light of thy countenance.
Ị gbasaala njehie anyị niile nʼihu gị. Ị na-ahụzukwa mmehie nzuzo anyị niile.
9 For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we consume our years like a word that is spoken.
Ogologo ụbọchị anyị niile na-agabiga nʼoke iwe gị; afọ ndụ anyị nke fọdụrụ ka anyị na-ebi dịka okwu e ji nwayọọ kwuo na mwute.
10 The days of our years in this life are seventy years; and if by uncommon vigor they be eighty, yet is their greatness trouble and mishap; for it soon hasteneth off, and we fly away.
Ogologo ụbọchị anyị niile nwere ike ruo afọ iri asaa, maọbụ afọ iri asatọ, ma ọ bụrụ na ike anyị adịgide, ma otu ọ dị, nke a ga-asị na ọ bụ ya kachasị mma na-ejupụta na nsogbu na ịsụ ude, nʼihi na ha na-agabiga ọsịịsọ, anyị onwe anyị na-efelakwa.
11 Who knoweth the strength of thy anger, and thy wrath which is like the fear of thee?
Onye pụrụ ịghọta ịdị ike nke oke iwe gị? Nʼihi na oke iwe gị dị ukwuu dịka ịtụ egwu kwesiri gị si dị ukwuu.
12 Let us then know how to number our days, that we may obtain a heart endowed with wisdom.
Kuziere anyị ịgụ ụbọchị niile nke ndụ anyị ọnụ, ka anyị si otu a nweta obi amamihe jupụtara.
13 Return, O Lord, how long yet? and bethink thee concerning thy servants.
O Onyenwe anyị, nwee ntụgharị obi! Tutu ruo ole mgbe ka ọ ga-adị? Meere ndị ohu gị ebere.
14 O satisfy us in the morning with thy kindness, that we may be glad and rejoice throughout all our days.
Jiri ịhụnanya gị nke na-adịgide adịgide, mejupụta anyị nʼụtụtụ, ka anyị nwee ike ịbụ abụ ọṅụ ma nwekwaa obi ụtọ ogologo ụbọchị ndụ anyị niile.
15 Cause us to rejoice as many days as those wherein thou hast afflicted us, the years wherein we have seen unhappiness.
Mee ka anyị nwee obi ụtọ, nke ọnụọgụgụ ụbọchị ya ga-adịkwa ka ọnụọgụgụ ụbọchị niile ị tara anyị ahụhụ, ka ọnụọgụgụ afọ ya dịkwa ka ọnụọgụgụ afọ niile anyị hụrụla nsogbu.
16 Let thy act be visible on thy servants, and thy majesty over their children.
Kwere ka ndị ohu gị hụ ọrụ gị dị iche iche, ka ụmụ ha hụkwa ịma mma gị.
17 And may the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us; and the work of our hands do thou firmly establish upon us: yea, the work of our hands—firmly establish thou it.
Ka ihuọma Chineke, Onyenwe anyị dịkwasị anyị; mee ka ọrụ aka anyị guzosie ike, e, mee ka ọrụ aka anyị guzosie ike.
