Psalms 35
1 [By David.] Contend, Jehovah, with those who contend with me. Fight against those who fight against me.
Abụ Ọma Devid. O Onyenwe anyị, lụso ha ọgụ bụ ndị na-alụso m ọgụ; buso ha agha bụ ndị na-ebuso m agha.
2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for my help.
Yikwasị uwe agha gị, werekwa ọta gị; bilie bịa nyere m aka.
3 Brandish the spear and block those who pursue me. Tell my soul, "I am your salvation."
Sepụta ùbe gị na anyụike agha gị; bịa zute ndị na-achụ m ọsọ. Gwa mkpụrụobi m, “Abụ m nzọpụta gị.”
4 Let those who seek after my soul be put to shame and disgraced. Let those who plot my ruin be turned back and confounded.
Mee ka ihere mee ndị niile na-agbalịsị ike igbu m. Ka ndị na-agba izuzu igbu m bụrụkwa ndị a chụghachiri azụ, na ndị ihere mere.
5 Let them be as chaff before the wind, Jehovah's angel driving them on.
Ka ha dịka igbugbo ọka mgbe oke ifufe na-efe, ka mmụọ ozi Onyenwe anyị bụrụ onye na-achụfu ha.
6 Let their way be dark and slippery, Jehovah's angel pursuing them.
Mee ka ụzọ ha gbaa ọchịchịrị, bụrụkwa ebe na-amị amị; ka mmụọ ozi Onyenwe anyị bụrụ onye na-achụ ha ọsọ.
7 For without cause they have hidden their net in a pit for me. Without cause they have dug a pit for my soul.
Ọ bụ ezie na ọ dịghị ihe ọjọọ ọbụla m mere ha, ma ha siere m ọnya, gwukwaara m olulu nʼụzọ m.
8 Let destruction come on him unawares. Let his net that he has hidden catch himself. Let him fall into that destruction.
Ka mbibi bịakwasị ha na mberede, ka ụgbụ ha zobeere m kee ha; ka ha lakwaa nʼiyi site nʼidaba nʼolulu ahụ ha gwuru.
9 My soul shall be joyful in Jehovah. It shall rejoice in his salvation.
Mgbe ahụ, mkpụrụobi m ga-aṅụrị ọṅụ na Onyenwe anyị, ọ ga-enwekwa obi ụtọ nʼime nzọpụta ya.
10 All my bones shall say, "Jehovah, who is like you, who delivers the poor from him who is too strong for him; yes, the poor and the needy from him who robs him?"
Ihe niile dị nʼime m ga-eti mkpu sị, “O Onyenwe anyị, ọ bụ onye dịka gị? Ị na-agbapụta ndị na-adịghị ike site nʼaka ndị dị ike karịa ha, ma na-anapụta ndị ogbenye ndị chọrọ enyemaka site nʼaka ndị na-apụnara ha ihe ha nwere nʼike.”
11 Unrighteous witnesses rise up. They ask me about things that I do not know about.
Ndị akaebe, ndị kwara obi nʼazụ na-apụkwute m; ha na-ebo m ebubo ihe ndị m na-anụbeghị ihe banyere ha na mbụ.
12 They reward me evil for good, to the bereaving of my soul.
Ana m emere ha ihe ọma, ma ha na-akwụghachi m ihe ọjọọ. Nke a na-ewute mmụọ m ruo nʼọnwụ.
13 But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth. I afflicted my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into my own bosom.
Mgbe ha na-arịa ọrịa, eyiri m akwa mkpe, site na ibu ọnụ weda onwe m nʼala. Mgbe ekpere m lọghachikwutere m na-enweghị ọsịsa,
14 I behaved myself as though it had been my friend or my brother. I bowed down mourning, as one who mourns his mother.
ejegharịrị m nʼọnọdụ iru ụjụ, dịka a ga-asị na ọ bụ nwanne m, maọbụ enyi m, jegharịakwa nʼobi ọjọọ dịka a ga-asị na ọ bụ nne m na-arịa ọrịa ahụ.
15 But in my adversity, they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together. The attackers gathered themselves together against me, and I did not know it. They tore at me, and did not cease.
Ma mgbe m dahiere, ha zukọtara na-aṅụrị ọṅụ; mgbe m na-adịghị ele anya, ha biliri imegide m. Ha na-ekwulu m na-esepụghị aka.
16 When I tripped, they mocked me relentlessly; they gnashed their teeth at me.
Dịka ndị ajọ omume, ha na-akwa m emo nʼiwe, na-atakwara m ikikere eze ha.
17 Jehovah, how long will you look on? Rescue my soul from their destruction, my precious life from the lions.
O Onyenwe anyị, ọ bụ ruo ole mgbe ka ị ga-anọ na-ele ihe na-eme? Gbapụta ndụ m site na mbibi ha niile, site nʼaka ụmụ ọdụm ndị a, gbapụta ndụ m dị oke ọnụahịa.
18 I will give you thanks in the great assembly. I will praise you among many people.
Aga m enye gị ekele nʼihu ọha mmadụ dị ukwuu, nʼetiti ọha kachasị ibe ya dị ukwuu, ka m ga-anọ too gị.
19 Do not let those who are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me; neither let those who hate me without a cause and wink their eyes.
Ekwekwala ka ndị ahụ bụ ndị iro m, mgbe o nweghị ihe m mere ha, chịa m ọchị; ekwekwala ka ndị ahụ kpọrọ m asị nʼihi iro, mgbe o nweghị ihe m mere ha nwee izuike.
20 For they do not speak peace, but they devise deceitful words against those who are quiet in the land.
Nʼihi na ọ bụghị okwu udo ka ha na-ekwu, kama ha na-echepụta ebubo ụgha dị iche iche megide ndị ahụ na-anọrọ onwe ha jụụ nʼime ala ahụ.
21 Yes, they opened their mouth wide against me. They said, "Aha. Aha. Our eye has seen it."
Nʼiju anya, ha na-ele m anya na-eti mkpu na-asị, “Ewoo! Ewoo! Anya anyị abụọ ka anyị ji hụ ya.”
22 You have seen it, Jehovah. Do not keep silent. Jehovah, do not be far from me.
O Onyenwe anyị, ị hụla nke a, agbakwala nkịtị; anọkwala m nʼebe dị anya, O Onyenwe anyị.
23 Wake up. Rise up to defend me, my God. My Lord, contend for me.
Teta, bilie bụụrụ m onye mkpepụta m. Kpechitere m ọnụ m, Chineke m na onyenwe m.
24 Vindicate me, Jehovah my God, according to your righteousness. Do not let them gloat over me.
O Onyenwe anyị Chineke m, kpepụta m nʼihi ezi omume gị; ekwekwala ka ha chịa m ọchị.
25 Do not let them say in their heart, "Aha. Aha. Our desire." Do not let them say, "We have swallowed him up."
Ekwekwala ka ha sị, “Ahaa, ọ dị ka anyị tụrụ anya ya!” Maọbụ sị, “Anyị eloola ya!”
26 Let them be put to shame and confounded together who rejoice at my calamity. Let them be clothed with shame and dishonor who magnify themselves against me.
Mee ka ihere na ọgbaaghara bụrụ nke ndị na-achị m ọchị nʼime mkpagbu m; were ihere na nweda nʼala yinye ha dịka uwe, bụ ndị niile na-ebuli onwe ha elu imegide m.
27 Let them shout for joy and be glad, who favor my righteous cause. And let them say continually, "Jehovah be magnified, who delights in the peace of his servant."
Ka ndị niile mkpepụta m dị mma were obi ụtọ tie mkpu ọṅụ; ka ha na-asị mgbe niile, “Ka e bulie Onyenwe anyị elu, onye ọdịmma nke ohu ya na-amasị.”
28 My tongue shall talk about your righteousness and about your praise all day long.
Ire m ga-ekwu banyere ezi omume gị na otuto gị niile ogologo ụbọchị niile.
