Psalms 94
1 O God, of vengeance, Lord! O God of vengeance, shine forth.
O Onyenwe anyị, Chineke onye na-abọ ọbọ, o Chineke, onye na-abọ ọbọ, zipụta onwe gị.
2 Lift up thyself, O judge of the Earth! bring a recompense upon the proud.
Bilie, o Onye Ikpe nke ụwa; kwụghachi ndị nganga ụgwọ ọrụ ruuru ha.
3 How long shall the wicked, O Lord—how long shall the wicked exult?
Onyenwe anyị, ọ bụ ruo ole mgbe? Ọ bụ ruo ole mgbe ka ndị na-eme ajọ omume ga-anọgide na-aṅụrị ọṅụ?
4 They sputter, they speak hard things: all the workers of wickedness boast themselves.
Ha na-ekwuwapụ okwu mpako; ndị niile na-eme ajọ ihe jupụtara nʼitu ọnụ.
5 Thy people, O Lord! they crush, and thy heritage they afflict.
Ha na-azọpịa ndị gị, O Onyenwe anyị; ha na-emegbu ihe nketa gị.
6 The widow and the stranger they slay, and the fatherless they murder.
Ha na-egbu ndị di ha nwụrụ na ndị ọbịa; ha na-egbu ndị na-enweghị nna.
7 And they say, The Lord will not see, and the God of Jacob will not take notice of it.
Ha na-asị, “Onyenwe anyị anaghị ahụ ihe ndị a; Chineke Jekọb na-agba nkịtị.”
8 Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye become intelligent!
Lezienụ anya, unu ndị amamihe kọrọ nʼetiti ndị m; unu ndị nzuzu, olee mgbe unu ga-amụta ihe?
9 He that hath planted the ear, shall he not hear? or he that hath 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 admonisheth nations, shall he not correct? is it not he that teacheth man knowledge!
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 knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are nought.
Onyenwe anyị maara echiche obi mmadụ; ọ maara na ihe mmadụ na-eche nʼobi ya bụ naanị ihe na-enweghị isi.
12 Happy is the man whom thou admonisheth, O Lord, and teachest him out of thy 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 thou mayest grant him repose from the days of evil, until the pot be dug 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, and his inheritance will he not forsake.
Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị agaghị ajụ ndị ya; ọ gaghị agbakụta ihe nketa ya azụ.
15 For unto righteousness will justice return; and it shall be followed by all the upright in heart.
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 evil-doers? or who will stand forward for me against the workers of wickedness?
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 a help unto me, but a little would have been wanting that my soul had dwelt in the silence of death.
A sị na Onyenwe anyị abịaghị nyere m aka, agaara m rịị abụ onye nwụrụ anwụ.
18 When I said, My foot hath slipped: thy kindness, O Lord, sustained me.
Mgbe m kwuru sị, “Ụkwụ m na-agbuchapụ,” ọ bụ ịhụnanya gị, O Onyenwe anyị, kwagidere m.
19 In the multitude of my [painful] thoughts within me, thy consolations delight my soul.
Mgbe oke nchekasị obi batara nʼime m, nkasiobi gị wetara mkpụrụobi m ọṅụ.
20 Can there be associated with thee the throne of destructive wickedness, which frameth mischief as a law?
A ga-ejikọta gị na ocheeze ọchịchị ya rụrụ arụ, nke na-eweta mmekpa ahụ site nʼiwu ya?
21 They band themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and innocent blood do they condemn.
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 become my defence, and my God, 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 will bring back upon them their own injustice, and in their own wickedness will he destroy them: [yea], he will destroy them—the Lord our God.
Ọ ga-akwụghachi ha ụgwọ ọrụ kwesiri mmehie ha, lakwaa ha nʼiyi nʼihi ajọ omume ha; Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị ga-ala ha nʼiyi.
