Psalms 140
1 TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. Deliver me, O YHWH, from an evil man, Keep me from one of violence.
Abụ nke dịrị onyeisi abụ. Abụ Ọma Devid. O Onyenwe anyị, dọpụta m site nʼaka ndị na-eme ihe ọjọọ. Chebe m ka m ghara ịdaba nʼaka ndị na-eme ihe ike dị iche iche.
2 Who have devised evils in the heart, All the day they assemble [for] wars.
Ndị na-atụ atụmatụ ime ihe ọjọọ nʼobi ha na-akpali agha ụbọchị niile.
3 They sharpened their tongue as a serpent, Poison of a viper [is] under their lips. (Selah)
Ha na-eme ire ha ka ha dị nkọ dịka nke agwọ; elo ajụala dị nʼegbugbere ọnụ ha. (Sela)
4 Preserve me, YHWH, from the hands of the wicked, Keep me from one of violence, Who have devised to overthrow my steps.
Chebe m Onyenwe anyị, ka m ghara ịdaba nʼaka ndị na-emebi iwu; chebe m ka m ghara ịdaba nʼaka ndị na-eme ihe ike, ndị na-eche echiche ọdịda m.
5 The proud hid a snare for me—and cords, They spread a net by the side of the path, They have set snares for me. (Selah)
Ndị mpako esielera m ọnya igbudu; ha agbasaala ụgbụ ha na udo ha, siekwara m ọnya dị iche iche nʼụzọ m na-aga. (Sela)
6 I have said to YHWH, “You [are] my God, Hear, YHWH, the voice of my supplications.”
A sịrị m Onyenwe anyị, “Gị onwe gị bụ Chineke m.” Nụrụ, O Onyenwe anyị, olu arịrịọ m maka amara.
7 O YHWH, my Lord, strength of my salvation, You have covered my head in the day of armor.
Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị Onye nzọpụta m dị ike, ị na-ekpuchi isi m nʼụbọchị agha.
8 Do not grant, O YHWH, the desires of the wicked, Do not bring forth his wicked scheme, They are high. (Selah)
Ekwekwala ka ndị ajọ omume chọta ihe ha na-achọ, o Onyenwe anyị, ekwekwala ka nzube ha mezuo. (Sela)
9 The chief of my surrounders, The perverseness of their lips covers them.
Ndị niile gbara m gburugburu na-ebuli isi ha elu na nganga ka ndụ ọjọọ nke egbugbere ọnụ ha rikpuo ha.
10 They cause burning coals to fall on themselves, He casts them into fire, Into deep pits—they do not arise.
Ka icheku ọkụ na-ere ere dakwasị ha; ka a tụba ha nʼime ọkụ na-ere ere, nʼime olulu apịtị jupụtara, nke ha na-enweghị ike isite nʼime ya pụta ọzọ.
11 A talkative man is not established in the earth, One of violence—evil hunts to overflowing.
Ekwela ka ndị na-ekwu okwu nkwulu guzosie ike nʼala, ka ihe ọjọọ chụda ndị na-eme ihe ike.
12 I have known that YHWH executes The judgment of the afflicted, The judgment of the needy.
Amaara m na Onyenwe anyị ga-ekpe ikpe ziri ezi nye ndị ogbenye na-emekwa ka ndị nọ na mkpa nweta ihe ruuru ha.
13 Surely the righteous give thanks to Your Name, The upright dwell with Your presence!
Nʼezie, ndị ezi omume ga-eto aha gị, ndị ziri ezi ga-ebikwa nʼihu gị.
