Psalms 18
1 [For the Chief Musician. By David the servant of Jehovah, who spoke to Jehovah the words of this song in the day that Jehovah delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul. He said, ] I love you, Jehovah, 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 Jehovah is my Rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my Rock, in whom I take refuge; 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 Jehovah, who is worthy to be praised, 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 The waves of death surrounded me, and the currents of ungodliness overwhelmed me.
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 distress I called upon Jehovah, and cried out to my God. He heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry before him came into his ears.
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 Then the earth shook and trembled. The foundations also of the mountains quaked and were shaken, because he was angry.
Ụwa mere mkpọtụ, maa jijiji, ntọala niile nke ugwu niile makwara jijiji, ha mara jijiji nʼihi iwe nke na-ewe ya.
8 Smoke went out of his nostrils. Consuming fire came out of his mouth. Coals were 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 He bowed the heavens also, and came down. Thick darkness was under his feet.
O kewara mbara eluigwe, rịdata; oke igwe ojii dịkwa nʼokpuru ụkwụ ya.
10 He rode on a cherub, and flew. Yes, he soared on the wings of the wind.
Ọ nọkwasịrị nʼelu cherubim felie elu, o feliri elu nʼelu nku nke ifufe.
11 He made darkness his hiding place, his canopy around him thick clouds dark with water.
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 passed on, with hailstones and coals of fire.
Site nʼìhè nke na-enwupụta nʼahụ ya, igwe ojii ji mkpụrụ mmiri na amụma egbe eluigwe gabiga.
13 Jehovah also thundered in the sky. The Most High uttered his voice.
Onyenwe anyị sitere nʼeluigwe bigbọọ; olu Onye kachasị ihe niile elu dara ụda.
14 And he sent out arrows and scattered them, and he shot lightning bolts and routed them.
Ọ gbara àkụ ya, mee ka ndị iro gbasasịa, o jikwa oke amụma nke egbe eluigwe chụsaa ha.
15 And the depths of the sea appeared. The foundations of the world were laid bare at your rebuke, Jehovah, at the blast of the breath of your nostrils.
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 sent from on high. He took me. He drew me out of many waters.
O sitere nʼelu setịpụ aka ya, jidesie m aka ike, ọ dọpụtara m site nʼogbu mmiri niile.
17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me; for they were too mighty for me.
Ọ napụtara m site nʼaka ndị iro m dị ike, bụ ndị kpọrọ m asị, ndị dịkwa ike karịa m.
18 They came on me in the day of my calamity, but Jehovah was my support.
Ha guzogidere m nʼụbọchị ihe ndakwasị m, ma Onyenwe anyị bụrụ m ihe ndabere.
19 He brought me forth also into a large place. He delivered me, because he delighted in me.
Ọ kpọpụtara m gaa nʼebe sara mbara, ọ napụtara m nʼihi na ihe m na-atọ ya ụtọ.
20 Jehovah has rewarded me according to my righteousness. According to the cleanness of my hands has he recompensed 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 Jehovah, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
Nʼihi na edebezuola m ụzọ niile nke Onyenwe anyị, ikpe amaghị m nʼihi ịgbakụta Chineke azụ.
22 For all his ordinances were before me. I did not put away his statutes from me.
Iwu ya niile dị nʼihu m, esibekwaghị m nʼụkpụrụ ya wezuga onwe m.
23 I was also blameless with him. I kept myself from my iniquity.
Abụ m onye na-enweghị ịta ụta nʼihu ya, edebekwara m onwe m pụọ na mmehie.
24 Therefore Jehovah has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.
Onyenwe anyị kwụghachiri m dịka ezi omume m si dị, dịka ịdị ọcha nke aka m abụọ si dị nʼanya ya.
25 With the faithful you show yourself faithful. With the innocent you show yourself innocent.
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 crooked you show yourself tortuous.
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 will save a humble people, but the eyes of the proud you will bring low.
Ị na-azọpụta ndị dị umeala nʼobi, ma ị na-eme ka ndị nwere anya mpako dị ala.
28 For you light my lamp. Jehovah my God lights up 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 advance through a troop. By my God, I leap over a wall.
Site nʼinyeaka gị, apụrụ m ịlụso igwe ndị agha ọgụ, sitekwa na Chineke m, apụkwara m ịwụfe mgbidi ọbụla.
30 As for God, his way is perfect. The word of Jehovah is pure. He is a shield to all those who take refuge 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, except Jehovah? Who is a rock, besides 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 the God who girds me with strength, and makes my way blameless?
Ọ bụ Chineke na-enye m ike, na-echebekwa ụzọ m nʼizuoke.
33 He makes my feet like deer's feet, and sets me 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.
34 He teaches my hands to war, so that my arms bend a bow of bronze.
Ọ na-azụ aka m abụọ ibu agha, ogwe aka m abụọ pụrụ ịrọji ụta bronz.
35 You have also given me the shield of your salvation, and your right hand holds me up, and your help has made 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 have enlarged my steps under me, My feet have not slipped.
Ị na-edozi ụzọ sara mbara nye ụkwụ, ka nkwonkwo ụkwụ m ghara ịgbụchapụ.
37 I pursued my enemies and overtook them, and I did not turn back until they were destroyed.
Achụrụ m ndị iro m ọsọ, jidekwa ha; alaghachighị m azụ tutu ruo mgbe ha niile lara nʼiyi.
38 I struck them through, so that they did not rise. They fell beneath my feet.
Etidara m ha nʼala ebe ha enwekwaghị ike ibilite. Ha dara nʼokpuru ụkwụ m.
39 For you have equipped me with strength for the battle. You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.
Ọ bụ gị nyere m ike ibu agha, i wedara ndị niile na-emegide m nʼala nʼihu m.
40 You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, that I might cut off those who hate me.
I mere ka ndị iro m tụgharịa gbapụ ọsọ. Ebibikwara m ndị kpọrọ m asị.
41 They cried, but there was none to save; even to Jehovah, but he did not answer them.
Ha bere akwa maka enyemaka, ma ọ dịghị onye na-azọpụta ha. Ha kpọkuru Onyenwe anyị, ma ọ zaghị ha.
42 Then I ground them as fine as the dust on the surface of a path. Like the mud in the streets, I trampled them.
Egwepịara m ha nke ọma dịka ntụ nke ikuku na-ebufu; a zọtọrọ m ha dịka apịtị nke okporoụzọ.
43 You have delivered me from the strivings of the people. You have made me the head of the nations. A people whom I have not known shall 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 As soon as they hear of me they obey me. Foreigners come cringing to me;
Ndị ala ọzọ na-ehulata nʼihu m nʼihi egwu, ngwangwa ha nụrụ olu m, ha na-erube isi nye m.
45 they are not bound in chains.
Obi na-ada ha mba; ha na-ama jijiji mgbe ha na-esite nʼebe niile ha e wusiri ike na-apụta.
46 Jehovah lives; and blessed be my rock. Exalted be the God of my salvation,
Onyenwe anyị na-adị ndụ! Otuto dịrị oke nkume m! Mbuli elu dịrị Chineke, Onye nzọpụta m.
47 even the God who executes vengeance for me, and 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 He rescues me from my enemies. Yes, you lift me up above those who rise up against me. You deliver me from the violent man.
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 will praise you, Jehovah, among the nations, and will sing praises 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 He gives great deliverance to his king, and shows loving kindness to his anointed, to David and to his descendants, until forever.
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.
