Psalms 78
1 A poem of Asaph give ear to! O people my instruction my incline ear your to [the] words of mouth my.
Abụ maskil nke Asaf. Ndị m, nụrụnụ ihe m na-ezi; geenụ ntị nʼokwu ọnụ m.
2 I will open in a parable mouth my I will pour forth riddles from antiquity.
Aga m eji ilu malite okwu m, aga m ekwu ọtụtụ ihe omimi, ihe ndị sitere na mgbe ochie;
3 Which we have heard and we have known them and ancestors our they have recounted to us.
ihe ndị anyị nụrụla, marakwa, ihe ndị nna nna anyị ha gwara anyị.
4 Not we will hide - from descendants their to a generation later recounting [the] praises of Yahweh and might his and wonders his which he has done.
Anyị agaghị ezonarị ụmụ anyị ihe ndị a, kama anyị ga-akọrọ ọgbọ nke na-abịa nʼihu akụkọ ịdị ike Onyenwe anyị, na ọrụ ebube ya, na ihe ịtụnanya niile o mere.
5 And he established a testimony - in Jacob and a law he appointed in Israel which he commanded ancestors our to make known them to children their.
O nyere Jekọb iwu banyere ụkpụrụ ya, mekwaa ka iwu ahụ guzosie ike nʼIzrel, bụ nke ọ dọrọ nna nna anyị ha aka na ntị, ka ha kuziere ụmụ ha,
6 So that they may know - a generation later children [who] they will be born they will arise and may they recount [them] to children their.
ka ọgbọ na-eso ha nwee ike mụta ya, ọ bụladị ọgbọ nke a ka amụbeghị, ndị nke ga-agwakwa ha ụmụ ha.
7 So they may put in God confidence their and not they will forget [the] deeds of God and commandments his they will observe.
Mgbe ahụ, ha ga-atụkwasị Chineke obi ha, ma ghara ichefu ọrụ ya niile dị iche iche. Ha ga-edebekwa iwu ya niile.
8 And not they will be - like ancestors their a generation stubborn and rebellious a generation [which] not it directed heart its and [which] not it was faithful with God spirit its.
Ha agakwaghị adị ka ndị nna nna ha, ọgbọ ndị nnupu isi na ndị isiike; ndị obi ha na-adịghị nʼebe Chineke nọ, ndị mmụọ ha na-ekwesighị ntụkwasị obi nye ya.
9 [the] people of Ephraim [were] equipped of shooters of a bow they turned back on [the] day of battle.
Ndị ikom Ifrem, nʼagbanyeghị na ha kwere ụta ha, chigharịrị azụ, gbaa ọsọ nʼụbọchị agha.
10 Not they kept [the] covenant of God and in law his they refused to walk.
Ha edebeghị ọgbụgba ndụ Chineke. Ha jụkwara ibi ndụ dịka iwu ya si dị.
11 And they forgot deeds his and wonders his which he had shown them.
Ha chefuru ihe o mere, ọrụ ịtụnanya o gosiri ha.
12 Before ancestors their he did wonder[s] in [the] land of Egypt [the] region of Zoan.
Chineke rụrụ ọrụ ebube ndị a nʼihu nna nna ha nʼala Ijipt na nʼọhịa Zoan.
13 He split open [the] sea and he brought through them and he made to stand up [the] waters like a heap.
O kewara oke osimiri, site nʼetiti ya dufee ha. O mere ka mmiri ahụ guzo ọtọ dịka mgbidi.
14 And he guided them by the cloud by day and all the night by [the] light of a fire.
O ji igwe ojii duo ha nʼije nʼehihie, jirikwa ìhè sitere nʼọkụ ahụ, duo ha ogologo abalị niile.
15 He split open rocks in the wilderness and he gave [them] to drink like deeps much.
Ọ gbawara oke nkume dị nʼọzara, si otu a nye ha mmiri hiri nne, dịka a ga-asị na ọ bụ mmiri si nʼọtụtụ oke osimiri.
16 And he brought out streams from a rock and he made to flow down like rivers water.
O mere ka mmiri iyi site na nkume gbapụta, mee ka mmiri rudata dịka osimiri.
17 And they repeated again to sin to him by rebelling against [the] Most High in the dry region.
Ha nọgidere na-emehie megide ya. Ha nupuru isi nʼọzara megide Onye kachasị ihe niile elu.
18 And they put to [the] test God in heart their by requesting food for selves their.
Ha kpachara anya nwaa Chineke ọnwụnwa, mgbe ha rịọrọ ya nri nke obi ha chọrọ.
19 And they spoke against God they said ¿ is he able God to arrange a table in the wilderness.
Ha kwuhiere Chineke; jụọ ya ọnụ sị, “Chineke ọ pụrụ inye anyị ezi nri na mmiri ọṅụṅụ nʼọzara a?
20 There! he struck a rock - and they flowed out waters and torrents they overflowed ¿ also food is he able to give or? will he prepare meat for people his.
Ọ bụ ezie na o tiri nkume ahụ ihe, mee ka mmiri sọpụta, mmiri iyi sọpụtara nʼebe o hiri nne, ma ọ pụrụ inye anyị nri? Ọ pụrụ inye ndị ya anụ?”
21 Therefore - he heard Yahweh and he was furious and fire it was kindled in Jacob and also anger it went up in Israel.
Mgbe Onyenwe anyị nụrụ ihe ha kwuru, iwe were ya; ọkụ ya repịara Jekọb, iwe ọkụ ya biliri megide Izrel.
22 For not they trusted in God and not they trusted in salvation his.
Nʼihi na ha ekwenyeghị na Chineke, maọbụ tụkwasị obi na nzọpụta ya.
23 And he commanded clouds above and [the] doors of heaven he opened.
Nʼagbanyeghị ihe ndị a, o nyere mbara eluigwe iwu meghekwa ọnụ ụzọ niile nke eluigwe.
24 And he rained down on them manna to eat and [the] grain of heaven he gave to them.
O mere ka mánà zokwasị ndị mmadụ a dịka mmiri, ka ha rie. O nyere ha mkpụrụ ọka nke si nʼeluigwe.
25 Bread of mighty [ones] he ate everyone food he sent to them to satiety.
Ndị mmadụ tara achịcha ndị mmụọ ozi. O zitere ha nri niile ha nwere ike iri.
26 He led out an east wind in the heavens and he led forth by strength his a south wind.
O sitere nʼeluigwe tọpụ ikuku nke ọwụwa anyanwụ, o jikwa ike ya duo ikuku nke ndịda.
27 And he rained down on them like dust meat and like [the] sand of [the] seas bird[s] of wing.
O zidatara ha anụ dị ukwuu dịka ọ bụ uzuzu, anụ ufe ọnụọgụgụ ha dịka ọnụọgụgụ aja dị nʼala ọnụ oke osimiri.
28 And he made [them] fall in [the] midst of camp his around dwelling his.
O mere ka ụmụ anụ ufe ndị a daara ha nʼala nʼetiti ọmụma ụlọ ikwu ha nakwa gburugburu ụlọ ikwu ha.
29 And they ate and they were satisfied exceedingly and desire their he brought to them.
Ha riri ihe tutu ruo mgbe ha enwekwaghị ike iri ọzọ, nʼihi na o nyere ha ihe obi ha chọrọ.
30 Not they had become estranged from desire their still food their [was] in mouth their.
Ha erisibeghị nri ahụ obi ha chọrọ, anụ ụfọdụ dịkwa ha nʼọnụ,
31 And [the] anger of God - it went up in them and he killed among vigorous ones their and [the] young men of Israel he made bow down.
mgbe iwe Chineke biliri imegide ha; o tigburu ndị kachasị ike nʼetiti ha, tigbukwaa ụmụ okorobịa ndị Izrel.
32 In all this they sinned again and not they believed in wonders his.
Ma na-eleghị ihe ndị a anya, ha gakwara nʼihu na mmehie ha, jụkwa ikwere nʼọrụ ebube niile Onyenwe anyị rụrụ.
33 And he brought to an end in futility days their and years their in sudden terror.
O mere ka ụbọchị ndụ ha bụrụ ihe efu. O mekwara ka afọ ha gwụsịa nʼobi ọlụlọ mmiri.
34 If he killed them and they sought him and they returned and they sought earnestly God.
Mgbe ọbụla Chineke tigburu ha, ha na-achọ ya; ha na-alaghachi azụ, chọsie ya ike.
35 And they remembered that God [was] rock their and God Most High [was] redeemer their.
Ha na-echeta na Chineke bụ Oke nkume ha, na Chineke nke kachasị ihe niile elu bụrụ ha Onye Mgbapụta.
36 And they deceived him with mouth their and with tongue their they lied to him.
Ma mgbe ahụ, ha ga-eji naanị okwu efu fee ya ofufe, were ire ha na-aghara ya ụgha.
37 And heart their not [was] steadfast with him and not they were faithful in covenant his.
Obi ha ekwesịkwaghị ike nye ya. Ha ekwesighị ntụkwasị obi nye ọgbụgba ndụ ya.
38 And he [was] compassionate - he atoned for iniquity and not he destroyed [them] and he increased to turn back anger his and not he stirred up all rage his.
Ma o meere ha ebere. Ọ gbaghara ha mmehie ha. Ọ laghị ha nʼiyi. Ọtụtụ oge ka o jidere iwe ya. Ọ kpalịkwaghị oke iwe ya.
39 And he remembered that [were] flesh they a wind [which] goes and not it returns.
Nʼihi na o chetara na ha bụ naanị anụ ahụ nke o kere eke, chetakwa na ha dịka ikuku nke na-adịghị alọghachi azụ mgbe ọ gabigasịrị.
40 How often! they rebelled against him in the wilderness they grieved him in a desolate place.
Ọtụtụ oge ka ha nupuru isi megide ya nʼọzara; ha kpasuru ya iwe nʼala ahụ tọgbọrọ nʼefu.
41 And they returned and they put to [the] test God and [the] holy [one] of Israel they pained.
Mgbe mgbe, ha nwara Chineke; ha kpasuru Onye Nsọ nke Izrel iwe.
42 Not they remembered hand his [the] day when he ransomed them from [the] opponent.
Ha echetaghị ike ya, ụbọchị ahụ ọ gbapụtara ha site nʼaka ndị na-emegbu ha;
43 When he performed in Egypt signs his and wonders his in [the] region of Zoan.
nʼụbọchị o gosipụtara ihe ịrịbama niile nʼala Ijipt, ọrụ ebube ya niile nʼọhịa Zoan.
44 And he turned into blood canals their and streams their not they drank!
O mere ka osimiri ha niile ghọọ ọbara. Ha enwekwaghị ike ịṅụ mmiri si na ha.
45 He sent among them a swarm of flies and it devoured them and frog[s] and it ruined them.
O zigakwara igwe ijiji nʼetiti ha, nke tara ha, zitekwa awọ nʼala ha, nke bibiri ha.
46 And he gave to the locust produce their and [the] result of toil their to the locust.
O zitekwara ụmụ ụkpana ndị tachapụrụ mkpụrụ a kụrụ nʼubi ha, zitekwa igurube nke ripịara ihe niile a gaara eweta dịka ihe ubi.
47 He killed with hail vine[s] their and sycamore-fig trees their with a flood.
O ji oke mkpụrụ mmiri mebie osisi vaịnị ha, jirikwa igirigi jụrụ oke oyi bibie osisi sikamọ ha niile.
48 And he delivered up to hail cattle their and livestock their to lightning bolts.
O weere ehi ha niile nyefee mkpụrụ mmiri, werekwa anụ ụlọ ha nyefee amụma egbe eluigwe.
49 He sent on them - [the] burning of anger his fury and indignation and trouble a band of angels of calamities.
O zipụrụ iwe ọkụ ya nʼetiti ha, oke iwe ya, na iwe ya, na mmeso nke iwe ya, ndị mmụọ ozi na-ebibi ihe na-eleghị anya nʼazụ.
50 He made level a path for anger his not he kept back from death life their and life their to the pestilence he delivered up.
O doziri ụzọ nke iwe ya ga-eso; o gbochighị ka ha ghara ịnwụ; kama o nyefere ndụ ha nʼaka ọrịa na-efe efe.
51 And he struck down every firstborn in Egypt [the] beginning of manly vigor in [the] tents of Ham.
O tigburu nwa ọbụla e bụ ụzọ mụọ nʼala Ijipt, mkpụrụ mbụ nke ndị ikom nʼime ụlọ ikwu Ham.
52 And he led out like sheep people his and he led them like flock in the wilderness.
Ma o dupụtara ndị nke ya dịka igwe atụrụ; o duuru ha dịka atụrụ gafee ọzara.
53 And he guided them to security and not they were afraid and enemies their it covered the sea.
O duuru ha nʼudo, ụjọ atụkwaghị ha, ma osimiri kpuchigidere ndị iro ha.
54 And he brought them to [the] territory of holiness his [the] mountain which it had acquired right [hand] his.
Otu a ka o si duru ha bịaruo nʼoke ala nsọ ya, ala ugwu ugwu ahụ nke aka nri ya nwetara.
55 And he drove out from before them - nations and he made fall them by a measuring-line of inheritance and he caused to dwell in tents their [the] tribes of Israel.
Ọ chụpụrụ mba niile nʼihu ha, tụọ ala ha kesara ha dịka ihe nketa; o mere ka ebo niile nke Izrel biri nʼụlọ nke aka ha.
56 And they put to [the] test and they rebelled against God Most High and testimonies his not they kept.
Ma ha nwara Chineke ọnwụnwa, nupu isi megide Onye kachasị ihe niile elu; ha edebeghị ụkpụrụ ya.
57 And they turned back and they acted treacherously like ancestors their they changed like a bow of deceit.
Dịka nna nna ha, ha bụ ndị na-ekwesighị ntụkwasị obi, na ndị aghụghọ, ha dịka ụta a na-ekweghị nke ọma.
58 And they provoked to anger him by high places their and by idols their they made jealous him.
Nʼihi ebe nchụaja ha wuru, ha mere ka iwe wee ya; sitekwa nʼarụsị ha pịrị apị, ha kpaliri ekworo ya.
59 He heard God and he was furious and he rejected exceedingly Israel.
Mgbe Chineke nụrụ ha, iwe were ya nke ukwuu. Ọ jụrụ ndị Izrel kpamkpam.
60 And he abandoned [the] tabernacle of Shiloh [the] tent [which] he had pitched among humankind.
Ọ gbakụtara ụlọ nzute ya nke dị na Shaịlo azụ, ụlọ ikwu ahụ ọ mara nʼetiti ndị mmadụ.
61 And he gave to captivity strength his and splendor his in [the] hand of [the] opponent.
O nyefere igbe ọgbụgba ndụ ike ya ka a dọta ya nʼagha, o nyefekwara onye iro ahụ ebube ya nʼaka.
62 And he delivered up to the sword people his and with inheritance his he was furious.
O kwere ka e gbuo ndị ya nʼagha; iwe ya dị ọkụ megide ihe nketa ya.
63 Young men its it consumed fire and young women its not they were praised.
Ọkụ repịara ụmụ okorobịa ha, ọ dịkwaghị onye a gụụrụ egwu ọlụlụ di na nwunye, nʼetiti ụmụ agbọghọ ha;
64 Priests its by the sword they fell and widows its not they wept.
E gburu ndị nchụaja ha nʼagha; ndị inyom ha ndị di ha nwụrụ enwekwaghị ike iru ụjụ.
65 And he awoke like a sleeper - [the] Lord like a warrior overcome from wine.
Mgbe ahụ, onyenwe anyị tetara dịka onye si nʼụra teta, dịka dike si nʼụra mmanya teta.
66 And he struck opponents his backwards a reproach of perpetuity he gave to them.
Ọ chụghachiri ndị iro ya azụ, mee ha ihe ihere nke ga-adịgide ruo ebighị ebi.
67 And he rejected [the] tent of Joseph and [the] tribe of Ephraim not he chose.
Ọ jụrụ ụlọ ikwu Josef, ọ họpụtaghị ebo Ifrem;
68 And he chose [the] tribe of Judah [the] mountain of Zion which he loved.
ma ọ họọrọ ebo Juda, na ugwu Zayọn, nke ọ hụrụ nʼanya.
69 And he built like [the] high [things] sanctuary his like [the] earth [which] he founded it for ever.
O wuru ụlọnsọ ya ka ọ dị ka ebe dị elu, dịka ụwa nke o mere ka o guzosie ike ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
70 And he chose David servant his and he took him from [the] folds of sheep.
Ọ họpụtara Devid, ohu ya, kpọrọ ya site nʼọgba igwe atụrụ;
71 From after nursing [sheep] he brought him to shepherd Jacob people his and Israel inheritance his.
o si nʼebe ọ nọ na-azụ atụrụ kpọrọ ya, ka ọ bịa bụrụ onye na-azụ ndị ya Jekọb, na Izrel, ihe nketa ya dịka atụrụ.
72 And he shepherded them according to [the] integrity of heart his and with [the] skill of hands his he led them.
Devid ji izuoke nke obi ya zụọ ha, aka nke maara ihe ọ na-eme ka o ji duo ha.
