2 Samuel 22
1 And David spake unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul:
Devid buuru Onyenwe anyị okwu niile nke abụ a mgbe Onyenwe anyị napụtara ya site nʼaka ndị iro ya niile, nakwa nʼaka Sọl.
2 and he said, The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer, even mine;
Ọ sịrị: “Onyenwe anyị bụ oke nkume m. Ọ bụ ebe mgbaba m e wusiri ike, na onye nnapụta m.
3 The God of my rock, in him will I trust; my shield and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge; my saviour, thou savest me from violence.
Chineke m bụ oke nkume m, onye m gbabara nʼime ya. Ọ bụ ọta m, na mpi nzọpụta m. Ya bụ oke nkume m nke onye ọbụla na-apụghị ịba nʼime ya, ebe mgbaba m, na onye nzọpụta m, site nʼaka ndị na-eme ihe ike.
4 I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
“Akpọkuru m Onyenwe anyị; onye e kwesiri inye otuto. Azọpụtara m site nʼaka ndị iro m.
5 For the waves of death compassed me, the floods of ungodliness made me afraid.
Ebili mmiri nke ọnwụ gbara m gburugburu; Ịchị ọkụ nke mbibi ọjọọ kpuchiri m.
Ụdọ niile nke ili kere m agbụ, Ọnya nke ọnwụ guzogidere m. (Sheol h7585)
7 In my distress I called upon the LORD, yea, I called unto my God: and he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry [came] into his ears.
“Nʼọnọdụ oke mkpagbu m, akpọkuru m Onyenwe anyị, akpọkuru m Chineke m. Akwa m ruru ya ntị. O sitekwara nʼụlọnsọ ukwu ya nụ olu m.
8 Then the earth shook and trembled, the foundations of heaven moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.
Ụwa mere mkpọtụ maa jijiji, ntọala eluigwe makwara jijiji, ha mara jijiji nʼihi iwe nke na-ewe ya.
9 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: 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.
10 He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and thick darkness was under his feet.
O kewara mbara eluigwe, rịdata; oke igwe ojii dịkwa nʼokpuru ụkwụ ya.
11 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he was seen upon the wings of the wind.
Ọ nọkwasịrị nʼelu cherubim felie elu, O feliri elu nʼelu nku nke ifufe.
12 And he made darkness pavilions round about him, gathering of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
O mere ọchịchịrị ihe mkpuchi nke gbara ya gburugburu, bụ ọchịchịrị mmiri igwe ojii nke mbara eluigwe.
13 At the brightness before him coals of fire were kindled.
Site nʼìhè nke na-enwupụta nʼahụ ya, amụma egbe eluigwe nwupụtara ire ọkụ.
14 The LORD thundered from heaven, and the Most High uttered his voice.
Onyenwe anyị sitere nʼeluigwe bigbọọ. Olu Onye kachasị ihe niile elu dara ụda.
15 And he sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and discomfited them.
Ọ gbara àkụ ya, mee ka ndị iro gbasasịa. O jikwa oke amụma nke egbe eluigwe chụsaa ha.
16 Then the channels of the sea appeared, the foundations of the world were laid bare, by the rebuke of the LORD, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.
E kpughere ala ala nke oke osimiri. Gbakwa ntọala niile nke ụwa ọtọ, site nʼịba mba nke Onyenwe anyị, na nkuume si nʼimi ya pụta.
17 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.
18 He delivered me from my strong enemy, from them that 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.
19 They came upon me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.
Ha guzogidere m nʼụbọchị ihe ndakwasị m. Ma Onyenwe anyị bụrụ m ihe ndabere.
20 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.
21 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness: according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
“Onyenwe anyị mesoro m dịka ezi omume m si dị, Ọ kwụghachiri m dịka ịdị ọcha nke aka m si dị.
22 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
Nʼihi na edebezuola m ụzọ niile nke Onyenwe anyị; ikpe amaghị m nʼihi ịgbakụta Chineke azụ.
23 For all his judgments were before me: and as for his statutes, I did not depart from them.
Iwu ya niile dị nʼihu m, esibekwaghị m nʼụkpụrụ ya wezuga onwe m.
24 I was also perfect toward him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.
Abụ m onye na-enweghị ịta ụta nʼihu ya, edebekwara m onwe m pụọ na mmehie.
25 Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eyesight.
Onyenwe anyị kwụghachiri m dịka ezi omume m si dị, dịka ịdị ọcha m si dị nʼanya ya.
26 With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful, with the perfect man thou wilt shew thyself perfect;
“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.
27 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the perverse thou wilt shew thyself froward.
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.
28 And the afflicted people thou wilt save: but thine eyes are upon the haughty, that thou mayest bring them down.
Ị na-azọpụta ndị dị umeala nʼobi, ma anya gị dị nʼahụ ndị mpako, I mee ka ha dị ala.
29 For thou art my lamp, O LORD: and the LORD will lighten my darkness.
Ọ bụ gị, Onyenwe anyị, bụ oriọna m, Onyenwe anyị na-eme ka ọchịchịrị m ghọọ ìhè.
30 For by thee I run upon a troop: by my God do I leap over a wall.
Site nʼinyeaka gị, apụrụ m ịlụso igwe ndị agha ọgụ; sitekwa na Chineke m apụkwara m ịwụfe mgbidi ọbụla.
31 As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried; he is a shield unto all them that trust 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.
32 For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a rock, save our God?
Nʼihi na onye bụ Chineke, ma ọ bụghị naanị Onyenwe anyị? Onye bụkwa Oke Nkume ahụ, ma ọ bụghị naanị Chineke?
33 God is my strong fortress: and he guideth the perfect in his way.
Ọ bụ Chineke na-enye m ike, na-echebekwa ụzọ m nʼizuoke.
34 He maketh his feet like hinds’ [feet]: and setteth me upon 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.
35 He teacheth my hands to war; so that mine arms do bend a bow of brass.
Ọ na-azụ aka m abụọ ibu agha, ogwe aka m abụọ pụrụ ịrọji ụta bronz.
36 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy gentleness hath made me great.
Ị na-eme ka inyeaka nke nzọpụta gị bụrụ ọta m, inyeaka gị emeela m ka m dị ukwuu.
37 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, and my feet have not slipped.
Ị na-edozi ụzọ sara mbara nye ụkwụ. Ka nkwonkwo ụkwụ m ghara ịgbụchapụ.
38 I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; neither did I turn again till they were consumed.
“Achụrụ m ndị iro m ọsọ, kpochapụ ha. Alaghachighị m azụ tutu ruo mgbe ha niile lara nʼiyi.
39 And I have consumed them, and smitten them through, that they cannot arise; yea, they are fallen under my feet.
Etidara m ha nʼala kpamkpam. Ha enwekwaghị ike ibilite. Ha dara nʼokpuru ụkwụ m abụọ.
40 For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.
Ọ bụ gị nyere m ike ibu agha. I wedara ndị niile na-emegide m nʼala nʼihu m.
41 Thou hast also made mine enemies turn their backs unto me, that I might cut off them that hate me.
I meela ka ndị iro m tụgharịa gbalaga. Ebibiekwala m ha niile.
42 They looked, but there was none to save; even unto the LORD, but he answered them not.
Ha bere akwa maka enyemaka, ma ọ dịghị onye na-azọpụta ha. Ha kpọkuru Onyenwe anyị, ma ọ zaghị ha.
43 Then did I beat them small as the dust of the earth, I did stamp them as the mire of the streets, and did spread them abroad.
Egwepịara m ha nke ọma, mee ka ha dịrị ka ntụ nke ala. Asụrụ m ha akwụ, zọtọọ ha dịka apịtị nke okporoụzọ.
44 Thou also hast delivered me from the strivings of my people; thou hast kept me to be the head of the nations: a people whom I have not known shall serve me.
“Ị napụtala m site nʼaka ndị niile na-alụso m ọgụ. Ị chebere m dịka onyeisi nke ọtụtụ mba. Ndị m na-amaghị na mbụ na-ejekwara m ozi.
45 The strangers shall submit themselves unto me: as soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me.
Ndị ala ọzọ na-ehulata nʼihu m nʼihi egwu, ngwangwa ha nụrụ olu m, ha na-erube isi nye m.
46 The strangers shall fade away, and shall come trembling out of their close places.
Obi na-ada ha mba. Ha na-ama jijiji mgbe ha na-esite nʼebe niile ha e wusiri ike na-apụta.
47 The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation:
“Onyenwe anyị na-adị ndụ. Otuto dịrị oke nkume m. Mbuli elu dịrị Chineke m, bụ oke nkume ahụ, Onye nzọpụta m.
48 Even the God that executeth vengeance for me, and bringeth down peoples under me,
Ọ bụ Chineke ahụ, onye na-abọrọ m ọbọ. Onye na-emekwa ka mba dị iche iche nọrọ nʼokpuru m.
49 And that bringeth me forth from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up above them that rise up against me: thou deliverest me from the violent man.
Onye na-anapụta m site nʼaka ndị iro m. I mere ka m dị elu karịa ndị iro m. Napụtakwa m site nʼaka nwoke na-eme ihe ike.
50 Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the nations, and will sing praises unto thy name.
Nʼihi nke a, Onyenwe anyị, aga m eto gị nʼetiti mba niile dị iche iche. Aga m abụku aha gị abụ otuto.
51 Great deliverance giveth he to his king: and sheweth lovingkindness to his anointed, to David and to his seed, for evermore.
“Chineke na-enye eze ya mmeri dị ukwuu. Ọ na-egosikwa onye ya o tere mmanụ obi ebere. Ihe ndị a ka ọ na-emere Devid na ụmụ ụmụ ya, ruo mgbe niile ebighị ebi.”
