Psalms 37
1 BY DAVID. [ALEPH-BET] Do not fret because of evildoers, Do not be envious against doers of iniquity,
Abụ Ọma Devid. Echegbula onwe gị nʼihi ndị na-eme ihe ọjọọ, maọbụ kwosa ndị na-eme ihe ọjọọ ekworo;
2 For they are cut off speedily as grass, And fade as the greenness of the tender grass.
nʼihi na mgbe na-adịghị anya, ha ga-akpọnwụ dịka ahịhịa, dịka ahịhịa ndụ, ha ga-anwụkwa.
3 Trust in YHWH, and do good, Dwell [in] the land, and enjoy faithfulness,
Tụkwasị Onyenwe anyị obi meekwa ihe ziri ezi; biri nʼala na nchebe, rijuokwa afọ.
4 And delight yourself on YHWH, And He gives to you the petitions of your heart.
Ka ihe Onyenwe anyị tọọ gị ụtọ. Ọ ga-enyekwa gị ihe niile bụ ọchịchọ nke obi gị.
5 Roll your way on YHWH, And trust on Him, and He works,
Nyefee onwe gị nʼaka Onyenwe anyị; tụkwasị ya obi, ọ ga-emere gị nke a:
6 And has brought out your righteousness as light, And your judgment as noon-day.
Ọ ga-eme ka ezi omume gị pụta ìhè dịka ihe nke chị ọbụbọ, meekwa ka izi ezi nke ikpe gị dịka ihe nke anyanwụ nʼehihie.
7 Be silent for YHWH, and stay yourself for Him, Do not fret because of him Who is making his way prosperous, Because of a man doing wicked schemes.
Dere duu nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, were ndidi chere ya; echegbula onwe gị mgbe ndị ọzọ na-enwe ọganihu, mgbe ha na-emezu atụmatụ ọjọọ ha niile.
8 Desist from anger, and forsake fury, Do not fret yourself to only do evil.
Kwụsị iwe iwe, kwụsịkwa oke iwe; echegbula onwe gị, ọ na-eduba naanị nʼihe ọjọọ.
9 For evildoers are cut off, As for those waiting on YHWH, they possess the land.
Nʼihi na a ga-ala ndị ajọ omume nʼiyi, ma ndị niile olileanya ha dị na Onyenwe anyị ga-eketa ala ahụ dịka ihe nketa ha.
10 And yet a little [while], and the wicked is not, And you have considered his place, and it is not.
Ọ fọdụrụ nwa oge nta, ndị ajọ omume ga-agabiga; ọ bụ ezie na ị ga-achọ ha, ma ị gaghị achọta ha.
11 And the humble possess the land, And they have delighted themselves In the abundance of peace.
Ma ndị niile dị nwayọọ nʼobi ga-eketa ala a dịka ihe nketa ha, ha ga-enwekwa udo dị ukwuu.
12 The wicked is devising against the righteous, And gnashing his teeth against him.
Ndị ajọ omume na-agba izu ọjọọ megide ndị ezi omume, na-ata ikekere eze megide ha;
13 The Lord laughs at him, For He has seen that his day comes.
ma onyenwe anyị na-achị ndị ajọ omume ọchị, nʼihi na ọ maara na ụbọchị ha na-abịa.
14 The wicked have opened a sword, And they have bent their bow, To cause the poor and needy to fall, To slaughter the upright of the way.
Ndị ajọ omume amịpụtala mma agha ha, kwee ụta ha ime ka ndị nọ na mkpa na ndị ogbenye daa, igbu ndị ụzọ ha ziri ezi.
15 Their sword enters into their own heart, And their bows are shattered.
Ma ha ga-ewere mma agha ha gbuo onwe ha, kụrisiekwa ụta ha.
16 Better [is] the little of the righteous, Than the store of many wicked.
Ihe ntakịrị nke onye ezi omume nwere dị mma karịa akụnụba ọtụtụ ndị ajọ omume;
17 For the arms of the wicked are shattered, And YHWH is sustaining the righteous.
nʼihi na a ga-etiji ike niile nke ndị ajọ omume, ma Onyenwe anyị ga-akwagide ndị ezi omume.
18 YHWH knows the days of the perfect, And their inheritance is for all time.
Ndị na-enweghị ịta ụta na-ebi ndụ ha nʼokpuru nlekọta Onyenwe anyị, ihe nketa ha ga-adịgide ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
19 They are not ashamed in a time of evil, And they are satisfied in days of famine.
Nʼoge ihe ndakwasị, ha agaghị akpọnwụ; ha ga-erijukwa afọ nʼụbọchị ụnwụ.
20 But the wicked perish, and the enemies of YHWH, Have been consumed as the preciousness of lambs, They have been consumed in smoke.
Ma ndị ajọ omume ga-ala nʼiyi. Nʼagbanyeghị na ndị iro Onyenwe anyị dịka ịma mma nke ubi ahịhịa ndụ, ha ga-agabigakwa ngwangwa nʼanya dịka anwụrụ ọkụ.
21 The wicked is borrowing and does not repay, And the righteous is gracious and giving.
Ndị na-eme ihe ọjọọ na-ebiri mmadụ ihe ma ha adịghị akwụghachi ya, ma onye ezi omume na-eme amara na-enye ndị ọzọ ihe o nwere.
22 For His blessed ones possess the land, And His reviled ones are cut off.
Ndị Onyenwe anyị gọziri agọzi ga-eketa akụ nke ụwa, ma ndị ọ bụrụ ọnụ ka a ga-egbuchapụ.
23 The steps of a man [are] from YHWH, They have been prepared, And He desires his way.
Ọ bụrụ na Onyenwe anyị nwere mmasị na ndụ mmadụ, ọ ga-eme ka nzọ ụkwụ ya guzosie ike;
24 When he falls, he is not cast down, For YHWH is sustaining his hand.
ọ bụrụ na ọ kpọbie ụkwụ, ọ gaghị ada, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị na-eji aka ya ejigide ya.
25 I have been young, I have also become old, And I have not seen the righteous forsaken, And his seed seeking bread.
Abụ m nwantakịrị na mbụ, ugbu a, abụ m agadi, ma ahụbeghị m ebe e chefuru ndị ezi omume, maọbụ ebe ụmụ ha na-arịọ nri.
26 All the day he is gracious and lending, And his seed [is] for a blessing.
Mgbe niile, ha na-eme amara jiri obi ha na-agbazinye ndị mmadụ ihe, ụmụ ha ga-abụ ngọzị.
27 Turn aside from evil, and do good, and dwell for all time.
Site nʼihe ọjọọ pụọ, mee ezi ihe, mgbe ahụ, i ga-ebi nʼala a ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
28 For YHWH is loving judgment, And He does not forsake His saintly ones, They have been kept for all time, And the seed of the wicked is cut off.
Onyenwe anyị na-ahụ onye ezi omume na ikpe ziri ezi nʼanya. Ọ gaghị ahapụkwa ndị ya kwesiri ntụkwasị obi. A ga-echebe ha ruo mgbe ebighị ebi, ma ụmụ ndị ajọ omume ka a ga-egbuchapụ;
29 The righteous possess the land, And they dwell on it forever.
ndị ezi omume ga-eketa ala ahụ dịka ihe nketa ha, ha ga-ebikwa nʼime ya ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
30 The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom, And his tongue speaks judgment.
Okwu amamihe na-esi nʼọnụ onye ezi omume pụta, ire ya na-ekwukwa ihe ziri ezi.
31 The law of his God [is] his heart, His steps do not slide.
Iwu Chineke ya dị ya nʼobi; nzọ ukwu ha adịghị agbụchapụ.
32 The wicked is watching for the righteous, And is seeking to put him to death.
Ndị ajọ omume na-echere ndị ezi omume na nzuzo, na-achọ ịnapụ ha ndụ ha;
33 YHWH does not leave him in his hand, Nor condemn him in his being judged.
ma Onyenwe anyị agaghị ahapụ ha nʼaka ha, ọ gaghị ekwe ka a maa ha ikpe mgbe a na-ekpe ha ikpe.
34 Look to YHWH, and keep His way, And He exalts you to possess the land, In the wicked being cut off—you see!
Chere Onyenwe anyị, debekwa ụzọ ya. Ọ ga-ebuli gị elu ka i nweta ala ahụ dịka ihe nketa; mgbe a na-egbuchapụ ndị ajọ omume, ị ga-eji anya gị hụ ya.
35 I have seen the wicked terrible, And spreading as a green native plant,
Ahụla m onye ajọ omume na nwoke na-eme ihe ike, ka ọ na-eto, na-awasa, dịka osisi dị ndụ nʼezi ala,
36 And he passes away, and behold, he is not, And I seek him, and he is not found!
ma ọ dịghị anya, ọ nwụrụ, nʼagbanyeghị na m chọgharịrị ya, ọ dịghị ebe ọbụla a hụrụ ya.
37 Observe the perfect, and see the upright, For the latter end of each [is] peace.
Ma tụgharịa uche banyere ndị ezi omume, rịbaa ndị ụzọ ha ziri ezi ama; ọganihu dịịrị onye udo.
38 And transgressors were destroyed together, The latter end of the wicked was cut off.
Ma a ga-ala ndị mmehie niile nʼiyi; ọ dịghị olileanya dịịrị ndị ajọ omume.
39 And the salvation of the righteous [is] from YHWH, Their strong place in a time of adversity.
Nzọpụta nke ndị ezi omume si nʼaka Onyenwe anyị bịa; ọ bụ ebe ha e wusiri ike nʼoge nsogbu.
40 And YHWH helps them and delivers them, He delivers them from the wicked, And saves them, Because they trusted in Him!
Onyenwe anyị na-enyere ha aka, na-anapụtakwa ha ma na-azọpụtakwa ha site nʼaka ndị ajọ omume, nʼihi na ha mere ya ebe mgbaba ha.
