Psalms 73
1 A PSALM OF ASAPH. Surely God [is] good to Israel, to the clean of heart. And I—as a little thing, My feet have been turned aside,
Abụ Ọma Asaf. Nʼezie, Chineke dịịrị Izrel mma, dịkwara ndị obi ha dị ọcha.
2 As nothing, my steps have slipped, For I have been envious of the boastful,
Ma mụ onwe m, ọ fọdụrụ nwantịị ka m zọhie ụkwụ, ọ fọdụrụ nwantịị ka ụkwụ m gbụchapụ.
3 I see the peace of the wicked, That there are no bands at their death,
Nʼihi na e kwosara m ndị mpako ekworo; mgbe m hụrụ ịba ụba nke ndị ajọ omume.
4 And their might [is] firm.
Ha anaghị adọgbu onwe ha; ahụ ha gbara abụba, siekwa ike.
5 They are not in the misery of mortals, And they are not plagued with common men.
Nsogbu niile mmadụ ibe ha na-enwe adịghị erute ha. Ha enweghị mkpa ọbụla nke na-akpa ha dịka ndị ọzọ nwere.
6 Therefore pride has encircled them, Violence covers them as a dress.
Nʼihi nke a, nganga bụ ihe ịnya nʼolu ha; ha jikwa ihe ike kpuchie onwe ha dịka uwe.
7 Their eye has come out from fat. The imaginations of the heart transgressed;
Mmehie na-esite nʼobi ọjọọ ha apụta; echiche ọjọọ ha enweghị ngụta.
8 They do corruptly, And they speak in the wickedness of oppression, They speak from on high.
Ha na-akwa emo, na-ejikwa iro ekwu okwu; nʼime mpako ha, ha na-aba mba imegbu ndị ọzọ.
9 They have set their mouth in the heavens, And their tongue walks in the earth.
Ha ji ọnụ ha na-ekwu na eluigwe bụ nke ha, ha jikwa ire ha kwuo na ụwa niile bụ nke ha.
10 Therefore His people return here, And waters of fullness are wrung out to them.
Nʼihi nke a, ndị ha na-eso ha, na-aṅụrụ okwu ha ebe ọ bara ụba dịka mmiri.
11 And they have said, “How has God known? And is there knowledge in the Most High?”
Ha na-asị, “Olee otu Chineke ga-esi mara? Ọ dịkwanụ ihe Onye kachasị ihe niile elu maara?”
12 Behold, these [are] the wicked and easy ones of the age, They have increased strength.
Otu a ka ndị ajọ omume dị, ha na-ebi ndụ na-enweghị nsogbu; akụnụba ha na-amụbakwa.
13 Only—a vain thing! I have purified my heart, And I wash my hands in innocence,
Nʼezie, ọ bụ naanị nʼefu ka m debere obi m ọcha, nʼefu ka m kwọrọ aka m abụọ nʼemeghị ihe ọjọọ.
14 And I am plagued all the day, And my reproof—every morning.
Ogologo ụbọchị niile, anọ m na nsogbu; ụtụtụ niile ka m na-anata ntaramahụhụ.
15 If I have said, “I recount thus,” Behold, I have deceived a generation of Your sons.
Ọ bụrụ na m kwuru sị, “Nke a ka m ga-ekwu,” agaara m abụ onye na-ekwesighị ntụkwasị obi nʼetiti ụmụ gị.
16 And I think to know this, It [is] perverseness in my eyes,
Mgbe m gbalịrị ịghọta ihe ndị a niile, ọ ghọọrọ m ihe mwute,
17 Until I come into the sanctuaries of God, I attend to their latter end.
tutu ruo mgbe m bara nʼebe nsọ Chineke; mgbe ahụ ka m ghọtara ihe ga-eme ha nʼikpeazụ.
18 Surely You set them in slippery places, You have caused them to fall to desolations.
Nʼezie, ị na-eguzo ha nʼala na-achị achị; ị na-atụda ha, laa ha nʼiyi.
19 How they have become a desolation as in a moment, They have been ended—consumed from terrors.
Lee, ka ha si laa nʼiyi nʼotu ntabi anya, bụrụ ndị ihe egwu dị iche iche kpochapụrụ kpamkpam!
20 As a dream from awakening, O Lord, In awaking, You despise their image.
Dịka nrọ, mgbe mmadụ na-eteta, otu a, O Onyenwe anyị, mgbe i tetara, ị ga-eleda ha anya dịka echiche na-agaghị emezu.
21 For my heart shows itself violent, And my reins prick themselves,
Mgbe m nọ nʼobi mwute; mmụọ m dara mba.
22 And I am brutish, and do not know. I have been a beast with You.
Abụ m onye nzuzu na onye na-amaghị ihe. Adị m ka anụ ọhịa nʼihu gị.
23 And I [am] continually with You, You have laid hold on my right hand.
Ma ana m anọnyere gị mgbe niile; ị na-ejide m nʼaka nri m.
24 You lead me with Your counsel, And after, receive me [to] glory.
Ị na-eji ndụmọdụ gị na-edu m, ma emesịa, ị ga-anabata m nʼebube gị.
25 Whom do I have in the heavens? And none have I desired in earth [besides] You.
Onye ka m nwere nʼeluigwe ma ọ bụghị gị? Ọ dịghị ihe ụwa a nwere nke m ga-achọsi ike karịa gị.
26 My flesh and my heart have been consumed, God [is] the rock of my heart and my portion for all time.
Anụ ahụ m na mkpụrụobi m nwere ike ịda mba, ma Chineke bụ ike nke obi m, na ihe nketa m ruo ebighị ebi.
27 For behold, those far from You perish, You have cut off everyone, Who is going whoring from You.
Ndị niile nọpụrụ gị nʼebe dị anya ga-ala nʼiyi. Ị ga-alakwa ndị niile na-ekwesighị ntụkwasị obi, nye gị nʼiyi.
28 And [the] nearness of God to me [is] good, I have placed my refuge in Lord YHWH, To recount all Your works!
Ma nye mụ onwe m, ọ dị mma ịnọ Chineke nso. Emeela m Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị ebe mgbaba m. Aga m akọ banyere ọrụ gị niile dị iche iche.
