Psalms 94
1 O GOD of avenging—Yahweh, GOD of avenging, shine forth:
O Onyenwe anyị, Chineke onye na-abọ ọbọ, o Chineke, onye na-abọ ọbọ, zipụta onwe gị.
2 Lift up thyself, O judge of the earth, Render a recompense unto the proud.
Bilie, o Onye Ikpe nke ụwa; kwụghachi ndị nganga ụgwọ ọrụ ruuru ha.
3 How long shall the lawless, O Yahweh, How long shall the lawless exult?
Onyenwe anyị, ọ bụ ruo ole mgbe? Ọ bụ ruo ole mgbe ka ndị na-eme ajọ omume ga-anọgide na-aṅụrị ọṅụ?
4 They pour forth [words], they speak arrogantly, All the workers of iniquity, do boast:
Ha na-ekwuwapụ okwu mpako; ndị niile na-eme ajọ ihe jupụtara nʼitu ọnụ.
5 Thy people, O Yahweh, they will crush, And, thine inheritance, tread down;
Ha na-azọpịa ndị gị, O Onyenwe anyị; ha na-emegbu ihe nketa gị.
6 The widow and sojourner, they will slay, And, the fatherless, murder.
Ha na-egbu ndị di ha nwụrụ na ndị ọbịa; ha na-egbu ndị na-enweghị nna.
7 Yet have they said—Yah, doth not see, The God of Jacob, doth not understand.
Ha na-asị, “Onyenwe anyị anaghị ahụ ihe ndị a; Chineke Jekọb na-agba nkịtị.”
8 Understand, ye brutish among the people, And, ye dullards, when will ye show discretion?
Lezienụ anya, unu ndị amamihe kọrọ nʼetiti ndị m; unu ndị nzuzu, olee mgbe unu ga-amụta ihe?
9 He that planteth the ear, shall he not hear? Or, that fashioneth the eye, shall he not have power to see?
Ọ pụtara na onye kpụrụ ntị anaghị anụ ihe? Ọ pụtara na onye kere anya anaghị ahụ ụzọ?
10 He that correcteth nations, shall he not reprove? He that teacheth man knowledge!
Ọ pụtara na onye na-adọ mba niile aka na ntị agaghị ata ha ahụhụ? Ọ pụtara na onye na-ezi mmadụ ihe enweghị ihe ọmụma?
11 Yahweh, knoweth the plans of men, That, they, are a breath!
Onyenwe anyị maara echiche obi mmadụ; ọ maara na ihe mmadụ na-eche nʼobi ya bụ naanị ihe na-enweghị isi.
12 How happy the man whom thou correctest, O Yah! And whom, out of thy law, thou instructest!
Onye a gọziri agọzi ka mmadụ ahụ bụ, onye ị na-adọ aka na ntị, O Onyenwe anyị, onye ahụ ị na-akụziri ihe site nʼiwu gị;
13 That thou mayest give him rest from the days of misfortune, Until there be digged—for the lawless one—a pit.
ị na-enye ya izuike site nʼụbọchị nsogbu; tutu ruo mgbe a ga-egwuru ndị ajọ omume olulu.
14 For Yahweh, will not abandon, his people, And, his inheritance, will he not forsake;
Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị agaghị ajụ ndị ya; ọ gaghị agbakụta ihe nketa ya azụ.
15 For, unto righteousness, shall the judicial sentence return, Then shall follow it—all the upright in heart.
Ezi omume ga-abụ ntọala ikpe ikpe niile; ndị niile ndị ziri ezi nʼobi ga-agbasokwa ya.
16 Who will rise up for me, against the evil-doers? Who will make a stand for me, against the workers of iniquity?
Onye ga-ebiliri m imegide ndị ajọ omume? Onye ga-eguzo nʼọnọdụ m imegide ndị na-eme ajọ ihe?
17 If, Yahweh, had not been a help to me, Soon had sunk into silence—my soul!
A sị na Onyenwe anyị abịaghị nyere m aka, agaara m rịị abụ onye nwụrụ anwụ.
18 If I say, My foot, hath slipped, Thy lovingkindness, O Yahweh, supporteth me.
Mgbe m kwuru sị, “Ụkwụ m na-agbuchapụ,” ọ bụ ịhụnanya gị, O Onyenwe anyị, kwagidere m.
19 In the multitude of my cares within me, Thy consolations, delight my soul.
Mgbe oke nchekasị obi batara nʼime m, nkasiobi gị wetara mkpụrụobi m ọṅụ.
20 Shall the throne that inflicteth ruin, have fellowship with thee, That frameth oppression, by statute?
A ga-ejikọta gị na ocheeze ọchịchị ya rụrụ arụ, nke na-eweta mmekpa ahụ site nʼiwu ya?
21 They make an attack on the life of the righteous one, —And, innocent blood, they condemn.
Ndị ajọ omume na-ejikọta onwe ha imegide ndị ezi omume na-amakwa ndị aka ha dị ọcha ikpe ọnwụ.
22 But, Yahweh, hath become for me a high tower, And my God, my rock of refuge.
Ma Onyenwe anyị a bụrụla ebe mgbaba e wusiri ike nye m, na Chineke m na oke nkume ebe m na-ezere ndụ.
23 Thus hath he brought back on them their iniquity, And, by their own wickedness, will he destroy them, Destroy them, will Yahweh our God.
Ọ ga-akwụghachi ha ụgwọ ọrụ kwesiri mmehie ha, lakwaa ha nʼiyi nʼihi ajọ omume ha; Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị ga-ala ha nʼiyi.
