Psalms 18
1 TO THE OVERSEER. BY A SERVANT OF YHWH, BY DAVID, WHO HAS SPOKEN TO YHWH THE WORDS OF THIS SONG IN THE DAY YHWH DELIVERED HIM FROM THE HAND OF ALL HIS ENEMIES, AND FROM THE HAND OF SAUL, AND HE SAYS: I love You, O YHWH, my strength.
Abụ ọma Devid. Abụ Devid ohu Onyenwe anyị. Ọ bụụrụ Onyenwe anyị okwu niile nke abụ a mgbe Onyenwe anyị napụtara ya site nʼaka ndị iro ya niile, nakwa nʼaka Sọl. Ọ sịrị: O Onyenwe anyị, ahụrụ m gị nʼanya, gị bụ ike m.
2 YHWH [is] my rock, and my bulwark, And my deliverer, My God [is] my rock, I trust in Him: My shield, and the horn of my salvation, My high tower.
Onyenwe anyị bụ oke nkume m, na ebe mgbaba m e wusiri ike, na onye nnapụta m. Chineke m bụ oke nkume m, onye m gbabara nʼime ya. Ọ bụ ọta m, na mpi nzọpụta m, na oke nkume m nke onye ọbụla na-apụghị ịba nʼime ya.
3 I call on YHWH, the Praised One, And I am saved from my enemies.
Akpọkuru m Onyenwe anyị, onye e kwesiri inye otuto, ọ zọpụtara m site nʼaka ndị iro m.
4 Cords of death have surrounded me, And streams of the worthless make me afraid.
Ụdọ niile nke ọnwụ kere m agbụ; ịchị ọkụ nke mbibi ọjọọ kpuchiri m.
Ụdọ nke ili kere m gburugburu, ọnya nke ọnwụ guzogidere m. (Sheol h7585)
6 In my adversity I call YHWH, And I cry to my God. He hears my voice from His temple, And My cry comes into His ears before Him.
Nʼọnọdụ oke mkpagbu m, akpọkuru m Onyenwe anyị; etiri m mkpu akwa, kpọkuo Chineke m ka o nyere m aka; akwa m rutekwara ya ntị, o sitekwara nʼụlọnsọ ukwu ya nụ olu m.
7 And the earth shakes and trembles, And foundations of hills are troubled, And they shake—because He has wrath.
Ụwa mere mkpọtụ, maa jijiji, ntọala niile nke ugwu niile makwara jijiji, ha mara jijiji nʼihi iwe nke na-ewe ya.
8 Smoke has gone up from His nostrils, And fire from His mouth consumes, Coals 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.
9 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.
10 And He rides on a cherub, and flies, And He flies on wings of wind.
Ọ nọkwasịrị nʼelu cherubim felie elu, o feliri elu nʼelu nku nke ifufe.
11 He makes darkness His secret place, Around Him His dwelling place, Darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
O mere ọchịchịrị ebe nzuzo ya, ihe mkpuchi nke gbara ya gburugburu, bụ ọchịchịrị mmiri igwe ojii nke mbara eluigwe.
12 From the brightness before Him His thick clouds have passed on, Hail and coals of fire.
Site nʼìhè nke na-enwupụta nʼahụ ya, igwe ojii ji mkpụrụ mmiri na amụma egbe eluigwe gabiga.
13 And YHWH thunders in the heavens, And the Most High gives forth His voice, Hail and coals of fire.
Onyenwe anyị sitere nʼeluigwe bigbọọ; olu Onye kachasị ihe niile elu dara ụda.
14 And He sends His arrows and scatters them, And much lightning, and crushes them.
Ọ gbara àkụ ya, mee ka ndị iro gbasasịa, o jikwa oke amụma nke egbe eluigwe chụsaa ha.
15 And the streams of waters are seen, And foundations of the earth are revealed, From Your rebuke, O YHWH, From the breath of the wind of Your anger.
E kpughere ala ala nke oke osimiri, gbakwa ntọala niile nke ụwa ọtọ, site nʼịba mba gị, O Onyenwe anyị, na nkuume si gị nʼimi pụta.
16 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.
17 He delivers me from my strong enemy, And from those hating me, For they have been stronger than I.
Ọ napụtara m site nʼaka ndị iro m dị ike, bụ ndị kpọrọ m asị, ndị dịkwa ike karịa m.
18 They go before me in a day of my calamity And YHWH is for a support to me.
Ha guzogidere m nʼụbọchị ihe ndakwasị m, ma Onyenwe anyị bụrụ m ihe ndabere.
19 And He brings me forth to a large place, He draws me out, because He delighted in me.
Ọ kpọpụtara m gaa nʼebe sara mbara, ọ napụtara m nʼihi na ihe m na-atọ ya ụtọ.
20 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.
21 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.
22 For all His judgments [are] before me, And I do not turn His statutes from me.
Iwu ya niile dị nʼihu m, esibekwaghị m nʼụkpụrụ ya wezuga onwe m.
23 And I am perfect with Him, And I keep myself from my iniquity.
Abụ m onye na-enweghị ịta ụta nʼihu ya, edebekwara m onwe m pụọ na mmehie.
24 And YHWH returns to me, According to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands, Before His eyes.
Onyenwe anyị kwụghachiri m dịka ezi omume m si dị, dịka ịdị ọcha nke aka m abụọ si dị nʼanya ya.
25 With the kind You show Yourself kind, With a 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.
26 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.
27 For You save a poor people, And cause the eyes of the high to fall.
Ị na-azọpụta ndị dị umeala nʼobi, ma ị na-eme ka ndị nwere anya mpako dị ala.
28 For You light my lamp, My God YHWH enlightens my darkness.
Ọ bụ gị, Onyenwe anyị, na-eme ka oriọna m na-enwu, Chineke m na-eme ka ọchịchịrị m ghọọ ìhè.
29 For by You I run [against] a troop! And 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.
30 God—perfect [is] His way, 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.
31 For who [is] God besides YHWH? And who [is] a 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 anyị?
32 God—who is girding me [with] strength, And He makes my way perfect.
Ọ bụ Chineke na-enye m ike, na-echebekwa ụzọ m nʼizuoke.
33 Making my feet like does, And on my high places causes me to stand.
Ọ na-eme ka ụkwụ m dị gara gara, dịka nke nne ele; Ọ na-emekwa ka m kwụrụ chịm nʼebe niile dị elu.
34 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.
35 And You give to me the shield of Your salvation, And Your right hand supports me, And Your lowliness makes me great.
Ị na-eme ka inyeaka nke nzọpụta gị bụrụ ọta m, aka nri gị na-akwagidekwa m, inyeaka gị emeela m ka m dị ukwuu.
36 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.
37 I pursue my enemies, and overtake them, And do not turn back until they are consumed.
Achụrụ m ndị iro m ọsọ, jidekwa ha; alaghachighị m azụ tutu ruo mgbe ha niile lara nʼiyi.
38 I strike them, and they are not able to rise, They fall under my feet,
Etidara m ha nʼala ebe ha enwekwaghị ike ibilite. Ha dara nʼokpuru ụkwụ m.
39 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.
40 As for my enemies—You have given to me the neck, As for those hating me—I cut them off.
I mere ka ndị iro m tụgharịa gbapụ ọsọ. Ebibikwara m ndị kpọrọ m asị.
41 They cry, and there is no savior, On YHWH, and He does not answer them.
Ha bere akwa maka enyemaka, ma ọ dịghị onye na-azọpụta ha. Ha kpọkuru Onyenwe anyị, ma ọ zaghị ha.
42 And I beat them as dust before wind, I empty them out as mire of the streets.
Egwepịara m ha nke ọma dịka ntụ nke ikuku na-ebufu; a zọtọrọ m ha dịka apịtị nke okporoụzọ.
43 You deliver me From the strivings of the people, You place me for a head of nations, A people I have not known serve me.
Ị napụtala m site nʼaka ndị na-alụso m ọgụ ị meela m onyeisi nke ọtụtụ mba; ndị m na-amaghị na mbụ na-ejekwara m ozi.
44 At the hearing of the ear they listen to me, Sons of a stranger feign obedience to me,
Ndị ala ọzọ na-ehulata nʼihu m nʼihi egwu, ngwangwa ha nụrụ olu m, ha na-erube isi nye m.
45 Sons of a stranger fade away, And are slain out of their close places.
Obi na-ada ha mba; ha na-ama jijiji mgbe ha na-esite nʼebe niile ha e wusiri ike na-apụta.
46 YHWH lives—and blessed [is] my rock, And exalted is the God of my salvation.
Onyenwe anyị na-adị ndụ! Otuto dịrị oke nkume m! Mbuli elu dịrị Chineke, Onye nzọpụta m.
47 God—who is giving vengeance to me, And He subdues peoples under me,
Ọ bụ Chineke ahụ onye na-abọrọ m ọbọ, onye na-emekwa ka mba dị iche iche nọrọ nʼokpuru m,
48 My deliverer from my enemies, You raise me above my withstanders, 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, napụtakwa m site nʼaka nwoke na-eme ihe ike.
49 Therefore I confess You among nations, O YHWH, 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.
50 Magnifying the salvation of His king, And doing kindness to His anointed, To David, and to his seed—for all time!
Ọ na-enye eze ya mmeri dị ukwuu; Ọ na-egosikwa onye ya onye e tere mmanụ ịhụnanya na-adịghị ada ada, nye Devid na ndị agbụrụ ya ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
