2 Samuel 22
1 And David speaks the words of this song to YHWH in the day YHWH has delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul,
Devid buuru Onyenwe anyị okwu niile nke abụ a mgbe Onyenwe anyị napụtara ya site nʼaka ndị iro ya niile, nakwa nʼaka Sọl.
2 and he says: “YHWH [is] my rock, And my bulwark, and a deliverer to me,
Ọ sịrị: “Onyenwe anyị bụ oke nkume m. Ọ bụ ebe mgbaba m e wusiri ike, na onye nnapụta m.
3 My God [is] my rock—I take refuge in Him; My shield, and the horn of my salvation, My high tower, and my refuge! My Savior, You save me from violence!
Chineke m bụ oke nkume m, onye m gbabara nʼime ya. Ọ bụ ọta m, na mpi nzọpụta m. Ya bụ oke nkume m nke onye ọbụla na-apụghị ịba nʼime ya, ebe mgbaba m, na onye nzọpụta m, site nʼaka ndị na-eme ihe ike.
4 I call on YHWH, [who is worthy] to be praised: And I am saved from my enemies.
“Akpọkuru m Onyenwe anyị; onye e kwesiri inye otuto. Azọpụtara m site nʼaka ndị iro m.
5 When the breakers of death surrounded me, The streams of the worthless terrify me,
Ebili mmiri nke ọnwụ gbara m gburugburu; Ịchị ọkụ nke mbibi ọjọọ kpuchiri m.
Ụdọ niile nke ili kere m agbụ, Ọnya nke ọnwụ guzogidere m. (Sheol h7585)
7 In my adversity I call on YHWH, And I call to my God, And He hears my voice from His temple, And my cry [is] in His ears,
“Nʼọnọdụ oke mkpagbu m, akpọkuru m Onyenwe anyị, akpọkuru m Chineke m. Akwa m ruru ya ntị. O sitekwara nʼụlọnsọ ukwu ya nụ olu m.
8 And the earth shakes and trembles, Foundations of the heavens are troubled, And are shaken, for He has wrath!
Ụwa mere mkpọtụ maa jijiji, ntọala eluigwe makwara jijiji, ha mara jijiji nʼihi iwe nke na-ewe ya.
9 Smoke has gone up by His nostrils, And fire devours from His mouth; Brands have been kindled by it.
Anwụrụ ọkụ sitere ya nʼimi pụta; Ọkụ na-erepịa erepịa sikwa nʼọnụ ya pụta. Icheku ọkụ na-ere ọkụ sitekwara nʼebe ahụ nwupụta.
10 And He inclines the heavens and comes down, And thick darkness [is] under His feet.
O kewara mbara eluigwe, rịdata; oke igwe ojii dịkwa nʼokpuru ụkwụ ya.
11 And He rides on a cherub and flies, And is seen on the wings of the wind.
Ọ nọkwasịrị nʼelu cherubim felie elu, O feliri elu nʼelu nku nke ifufe.
12 And He sets darkness around Him [for His] dwelling places, Darkness of waters [and] thick clouds of the skies.
O mere ọchịchịrị ihe mkpuchi nke gbara ya gburugburu, bụ ọchịchịrị mmiri igwe ojii nke mbara eluigwe.
13 From the brightness before Him Brands of fire were kindled!
Site nʼìhè nke na-enwupụta nʼahụ ya, amụma egbe eluigwe nwupụtara ire ọkụ.
14 YHWH thunders from the heavens, And the Most High gives forth His voice.
Onyenwe anyị sitere nʼeluigwe bigbọọ. Olu Onye kachasị ihe niile elu dara ụda.
15 And He sends forth arrows, and scatters them; Lightning, and troubles them;
Ọ gbara àkụ ya, mee ka ndị iro gbasasịa. O jikwa oke amụma nke egbe eluigwe chụsaa ha.
16 And the streams of the sea are seen, [The] foundations of the world are revealed, By the rebuke of YHWH, From the breath of the spirit of His anger.
E kpughere ala ala nke oke osimiri. Gbakwa ntọala niile nke ụwa ọtọ, site nʼịba mba nke Onyenwe anyị, na nkuume si nʼimi ya pụta.
17 He sends from above—He takes me, He draws me out of many waters.
“O sitere nʼelu setịpụ aka ya, jidesie m aka ike, ọ dọpụtara m site nʼogbu mmiri niile.
18 He delivers me from my strong enemy, From those hating me, For they were stronger than me.
Ọ napụtara m site nʼaka ndị iro m dị ike, bụ ndị kpọrọ m asị, ndị dịkwa ike karịa m.
19 They are before me in a day of my calamity, And YHWH is my support,
Ha guzogidere m nʼụbọchị ihe ndakwasị m. Ma Onyenwe anyị bụrụ m ihe ndabere.
20 And He brings me out to a large place, He draws me out for He delighted in me.
Ọ kpọpụtara m gaa nʼebe sara mbara, Ọ napụtara m nʼihi na ihe m na-atọ ya ụtọ.
21 YHWH repays me, According to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands, He returns to me.
“Onyenwe anyị mesoro m dịka ezi omume m si dị, Ọ kwụghachiri m dịka ịdị ọcha nke aka m si dị.
22 For I have kept the ways of YHWH, And have not done wickedly against my God.
Nʼihi na edebezuola m ụzọ niile nke Onyenwe anyị; ikpe amaghị m nʼihi ịgbakụta Chineke azụ.
23 For all His judgments [are] before me, As for His statutes, I do not turn from them.
Iwu ya niile dị nʼihu m, esibekwaghị m nʼụkpụrụ ya wezuga onwe m.
24 And I am perfect before Him, And I keep myself from my iniquity.
Abụ m onye na-enweghị ịta ụta nʼihu ya, edebekwara m onwe m pụọ na mmehie.
25 And YHWH returns to me, According to my righteousness, According to my cleanness before His eyes.
Onyenwe anyị kwụghachiri m dịka ezi omume m si dị, dịka ịdị ọcha m si dị nʼanya ya.
26 With the kind You show Yourself kind, With the perfect man You show Yourself perfect,
“Nʼebe onye kwesiri ntụkwasị obi nọ, i na-egosi onwe gị onye kwesiri ntụkwasị obi, nʼebe onye zuruoke nọ, ị na-egosi onwe gị onye zuruoke.
27 With the pure You show Yourself pure, And with the perverse You show Yourself a wrestler.
Nʼebe onye dị ọcha nọ, ị na-egosi onwe gị onye dị ọcha, ma nye ndị ụzọ ha na-ezighị ezi, Ị na-egosi onwe gị dịka onye dị aghụghọ.
28 And You save the poor people, But Your eyes on the high cause [them] to fall.
Ị na-azọpụta ndị dị umeala nʼobi, ma anya gị dị nʼahụ ndị mpako, I mee ka ha dị ala.
29 For You [are] my lamp, O YHWH, And YHWH lightens my darkness.
Ọ bụ gị, Onyenwe anyị, bụ oriọna m, Onyenwe anyị na-eme ka ọchịchịrị m ghọọ ìhè.
30 For by You I run [against] a troop, By my God I leap a wall.
Site nʼinyeaka gị, apụrụ m ịlụso igwe ndị agha ọgụ; sitekwa na Chineke m apụkwara m ịwụfe mgbidi ọbụla.
31 God—His way [is] perfect, The saying of YHWH is tried, He [is] a shield to all those trusting in Him.
“Ma banyere Chineke, ụzọ ya zuruoke; okwu ọnụ Onyenwe anyị bụ ihe a nụchara anụcha. Ọ bụ ọta nke onye ọbụla na-ezo onwe ya nʼokpuru ya.
32 For who is God except YHWH? And who [is the] Rock except our God?
Nʼihi na onye bụ Chineke, ma ọ bụghị naanị Onyenwe anyị? Onye bụkwa Oke Nkume ahụ, ma ọ bụghị naanị Chineke?
33 God—my bulwark, [my] strength, And He makes my way perfect;
Ọ bụ Chineke na-enye m ike, na-echebekwa ụzọ m nʼizuoke.
34 Making my feet like does, And causes me to stand on my high places,
Ọ na-eme ka ụkwụ m dị gara gara, dịka nke nne ele Ọ na-emekwa ka m kwụrụ chịm nʼebe niile dị elu.
35 Teaching my hands for battle, And a bow of bronze was brought down by my arms,
Ọ na-azụ aka m abụọ ibu agha, ogwe aka m abụọ pụrụ ịrọji ụta bronz.
36 And You give the shield of Your salvation to me, And Your lowliness makes me great.
Ị na-eme ka inyeaka nke nzọpụta gị bụrụ ọta m, inyeaka gị emeela m ka m dị ukwuu.
37 You enlarge my step under me, And my ankles have not slipped.
Ị na-edozi ụzọ sara mbara nye ụkwụ. Ka nkwonkwo ụkwụ m ghara ịgbụchapụ.
38 I pursue my enemies and destroy them, And I do not turn until they are consumed.
“Achụrụ m ndị iro m ọsọ, kpochapụ ha. Alaghachighị m azụ tutu ruo mgbe ha niile lara nʼiyi.
39 And I consume them, and strike them, And they do not rise, and fall under my feet.
Etidara m ha nʼala kpamkpam. Ha enwekwaghị ike ibilite. Ha dara nʼokpuru ụkwụ m abụọ.
40 And You gird me [with] strength for battle, You cause my withstanders to bow under me.
Ọ bụ gị nyere m ike ibu agha. I wedara ndị niile na-emegide m nʼala nʼihu m.
41 And my enemies—You give to me the neck, Those hating me—and I cut them off.
I meela ka ndị iro m tụgharịa gbalaga. Ebibiekwala m ha niile.
42 They look, and there is no savior; To YHWH, and He has not answered them.
Ha bere akwa maka enyemaka, ma ọ dịghị onye na-azọpụta ha. Ha kpọkuru Onyenwe anyị, ma ọ zaghị ha.
43 And I beat them as dust of the earth, As mire of the streets I beat them small—I spread them out!
Egwepịara m ha nke ọma, mee ka ha dịrị ka ntụ nke ala. Asụrụ m ha akwụ, zọtọọ ha dịka apịtị nke okporoụzọ.
44 And You deliver me From the strivings of my people, You place me for a head of nations; A people I have not known serve me.
“Ị napụtala m site nʼaka ndị niile na-alụso m ọgụ. Ị chebere m dịka onyeisi nke ọtụtụ mba. Ndị m na-amaghị na mbụ na-ejekwara m ozi.
45 Sons of a stranger feign obedience to me, At the hearing of the ear they listen to me.
Ndị ala ọzọ na-ehulata nʼihu m nʼihi egwu, ngwangwa ha nụrụ olu m, ha na-erube isi nye m.
46 Sons of a stranger fade away, And gird themselves by their close places.
Obi na-ada ha mba. Ha na-ama jijiji mgbe ha na-esite nʼebe niile ha e wusiri ike na-apụta.
47 YHWH lives, and blessed [is] my Rock, And exalted is my God—The Rock of my salvation.
“Onyenwe anyị na-adị ndụ. Otuto dịrị oke nkume m. Mbuli elu dịrị Chineke m, bụ oke nkume ahụ, Onye nzọpụta m.
48 God—who is giving vengeance to me, And bringing down peoples under me,
Ọ bụ Chineke ahụ, onye na-abọrọ m ọbọ. Onye na-emekwa ka mba dị iche iche nọrọ nʼokpuru m.
49 And bringing me forth from my enemies, Indeed, You raise me up above my withstanders. You deliver me from a man of violence.
Onye na-anapụta m site nʼaka ndị iro m. I mere ka m dị elu karịa ndị iro m. Napụtakwa m site nʼaka nwoke na-eme ihe ike.
50 Therefore I confess You, O YHWH, among nations, And I sing praise to Your Name.
Nʼihi nke a, Onyenwe anyị, aga m eto gị nʼetiti mba niile dị iche iche. Aga m abụku aha gị abụ otuto.
51 Magnifying the salvations of His king, And doing loving-kindness to His anointed, To David, and to his seed—for all time!”
“Chineke na-enye eze ya mmeri dị ukwuu. Ọ na-egosikwa onye ya o tere mmanụ obi ebere. Ihe ndị a ka ọ na-emere Devid na ụmụ ụmụ ya, ruo mgbe niile ebighị ebi.”
