Psalms 16
1 [A Poem by David.] Preserve me, God, for in you do I take refuge.
Abụ miktam nke Devid. Chebe m, O Chineke, nʼihi na nʼime gị ka m gbabara izere ndụ.
2 I said to YHWH, "You are my Lord. Apart from you I have no good thing."
A gwara m Onyenwe anyị, “Ị bụ Onyenwe m, e wezuga gị, enwekwaghị m ọdịmma ọbụla.”
3 As for the holy ones who are in the land, they are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight.
Ana m asị maka ndị nsọ bụ ndị nọ nʼala a, “Ha bụ ndị a na-asọpụrụ, ndị ihe ha nʼatọ m ụtọ.”
4 Their sorrows will multiply who pay a dowry for another. Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, nor take their names on my lips.
Iru ụjụ nke ndị ahụ na-agbaso chi ndị ọzọ ga-aba ụba. Agaghị m eso ha wụsa aja ihe ọṅụṅụ ọbara nye chi ndị a, maọbụ were egbugbere ọnụ m kpọọ aha ha.
5 YHWH is the portion of my inheritance and my cup. You made my lot secure.
Onyenwe anyị, i nyeela m oke m na iko m; ị na-elekọta ihe niile bụ nke m site nʼife nza.
6 The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places. Yes, beautiful is my inheritance.
Ọtụtụ oke ala niile dabara m nʼebe dị ezi mma; nʼezie, e nwere m ihe nketa nke na-enye m ọṅụ.
7 I will bless YHWH, who has given me counsel. Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.
Aga m eto Onyenwe anyị, onye na-adụ m ọdụ; ọ bụladị nʼabalị, obi m na-agwa m ihe m ga-eme.
8 I have put YHWH before me at all times. Because he is at my right hand I will never be upended.
Ana m elekwasị Onyenwe anyị anya mgbe niile. Ebe ọ nọ nʼaka nri m, agaghị m ama jijiji.
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices. My body shall also dwell in safety.
Nʼihi nke a, obi dị m ụtọ, ire m jupụtakwara nʼọṅụ; aga m anọkwa nʼudo.
10 For you will not abandon my soul in Sheol, neither will you allow your Holy One to see decay. (Sheol h7585)
Nʼihi na ị gaghị ahapụ m nʼala mmụọ, ị gaghị ekwekwa ka Onye gị kwesiri ntụkwasị obi hụ ire ure. (Sheol h7585)
11 You make known to me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forevermore.
I gosila m ụzọ ndụ; ị ga-eji ọṅụ mejupụta obi m nʼihu gị; ya na ihe ụtọ ndị dị nʼaka nri gị ruo ebighị ebi.
