< Psalms 105 >

1 Give thanks to Yahweh, and tell others that he is very great! Tell everyone in the world what he has done!
Nyenụ Onyenwe anyị otuto, kwupụtakwa aha ya. Meenụ ka amata nʼetiti mba niile banyere ihe niile ọ rụrụ.
2 Sing to him; praise him as you sing to him; tell others about his wonderful miracles.
Bụkuo ya abụ, bụkuo ya abụ otuto; kwupụtanụ ọrụ ihe ịrịbama ya niile.
3 Be happy because [you know that] he [MTY] is holy! You people who worship Yahweh, rejoice!
Ṅụrianụ nʼime aha nsọ ya; ka obi ndị niile na-achọ Onyenwe anyị ṅụrịa.
4 Ask Yahweh to help you and give you his strength, and continue to ask him!
Na-achọnụ Onyenwe anyị na ike ya, chọọnụ ihu ya mgbe niile.
5 You people who are descendants of God’s servant Abraham, you descendants of Jacob, the man God chose, think about [all] the wonderful things that he has done: He performed miracles, and he punished [all our enemies].
Chetanụ ọrụ ebube niile nke ọ rụrụ, ihe ịrịbama ya niile na ikpe ziri ezi niile si nʼọnụ ya pụta,
6
unu ụmụ ụmụ Ebraham, bụ ohu ya, unu ụmụ ụmụ Jekọb, ndị ọ họpụtara.
7 He is Yahweh, our God. He rules and judges [people] throughout the earth.
Ya onwe ya bụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị; ikpe ya dị nʼụwa niile.
8 He never forgets the agreement that he made; he made a promise that will last for 1,000 generations;
Ọ na-echeta ọgbụgba ndụ ya ruo mgbe ebighị ebi, bụ nkwa o kwere nye puku ọgbọ,
9 that is the agreement that he made with Abraham, and he repeated that agreement with Isaac.
ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ nke ya na Ebraham gbara na iyi ọ ṅụrụ nye Aịzik.
10 [Later] he confirmed it [again] to Jacob as an agreement for the Israeli [people] that would last forever.
O mere ka o guzoro nye Jekọb dịka ụkpụrụ, ma nʼebe Izrel nọ, dịka ọgbụgba ndụ ebighị ebi:
11 What he said was, “I will give you the Canaan region; it will belong to you [and your descendants forever].”
“Aga m enye gị ala Kenan dịka oke i ga-eketa.”
12 [He said that to them] when there were only a few of them, a tiny group of people who were living in that land like strangers.
Mgbe ha dị ole na ole nʼọnụọgụgụ, nʼezie ha dị ole na ole, bụrụkwa ọbịa nʼime ya.
13 They continued to wander from one place to another, from one kingdom to another.
Ha wagharịrị site nʼotu mba gaa na mba ọzọ, sitekwa nʼotu alaeze gaa alaeze ọzọ.
14 But he did not allow others to oppress them. He warned those kings by saying to them,
O kweghị ka onye ọbụla mekpaa ha ahụ; ọ baara ndị eze mba nʼihi ha;
15 “Do not do harm the [people] whom I have chosen! Do not harm my prophets!”
sị, “Unu emetụkwala ndị m e tere mmanụ aka; unu emekpakwala ndị amụma m ahụ.”
16 He sent a famine to Canaan, and [as a result all the people] had no food to eat.
O zitere ụnwụ nʼala ahụ, bibie ụzọ niile ha si enweta ihe oriri;
17 So his people went to Egypt, but first he sent someone there. He sent Joseph, who had been sold to be a slave.
o zipụrụ otu nwoke ka ọ gaa nʼihu ha, Josef, onye e refuru dịka ohu.
18 [Later, while Joseph was in prison in Egypt], they put his legs in shackles that bruised his feet, and they put an iron collar around his neck.
Ha ji mkpọrọ igwe merụọ ya ahụ nʼụkwụ, nyanyekwa ya mkpọrọ igwe nʼolu,
19 There, Yahweh (refined Joseph’s character/tested Joseph to see if Joseph would continue to trust him), until what Joseph predicted would happen (came true/happened).
tutu ruo mgbe ihe ahụ o kwuru na ọ ga-eme mezuru, tutu ruo mgbe okwu Onyenwe anyị nwapụtara ya dịka onye eziokwu.
20 The king [of Egypt] summoned him, and he set Joseph free; this ruler of many people-groups released Joseph [from prison].
Eze ahụ zipụrụ ozi ka a tọpụ ya, onye ahụ na-achị ndị dị iche iche mere ka o nwere onwe ya.
21 [Then] he appointed him to take care of everything in the king’s household, to take care of everything that the king possessed.
O mere ya ka ọ bụrụ onyenwe ezinaụlọ ya, onye na-achị ihe niile o nwere,
22 (Joseph was permitted/He permitted Joseph) to command the king’s servants to do anything that Joseph wanted them to do, and [even] to tell the king’s advisors the things that they should do [for the people of Egypt].
ikuziri ụmụ eze ndị ikom dịka o si masị ya, na izi ndị okenye ya amamihe.
23 Later, [Joseph’s father] Jacob arrived in Egypt. He lived like a foreigner in the land that belonged to the descendants of Ham.
Mgbe ahụ, Izrel bara nʼala Ijipt; Jekọb bikwara nʼala Ham dịka onye si mba ọzọ bịa.
24 And [years later] Yahweh caused the descendants of Jacob to become very numerous. [As a result], their enemies, [the Egyptians], considered that the Israelis were too strong.
Onyenwe anyị mere ka ndị ya mụbaa nke ukwuu; o mere ka ndị ya dị ukwuu nʼọnụọgụgụ karịa ndị iro ha,
25 [So] Yahweh caused the rulers of Egypt to (turn against/hate) the Israeli people, and they planned ways to get rid of his people.
ndị ọ tụgharịrị obi ha ka ha kpọọ ndị ya asị, ka ha gbaa izu nzuzo megide ndị ohu ya.
26 [But then] Yahweh sent his servant Moses along with [Moses’ older brother] Aaron, whom Yahweh had [also] chosen [to be his servant].
O zipụrụ Mosis, ohu ya, na Erọn, onye ọ họpụtara.
27 Those two performed amazing miracles among the people of Egypt, in that land where the descendants of Ham lived.
Ha mere ọtụtụ ihe ịrịbama dị iche iche nʼetiti ha, ọrụ ebube ya dị iche iche nʼala Ham.
28 Yahweh sent darkness, so that the people of Egypt could not see anything [DOU], but the rulers of Egypt refused [RHQ] to obey when [Moses and Aaron] commanded [them to let the Israeli people leave Egypt].
O zipụrụ ọchịchịrị, mee ka ala ahụ gbaa ọchịchịrị, nʼihi na ha nupuru isi megide okwu ya.
29 Yahweh caused [all] the water in Egypt to become (blood/[red like] blood), and [his doing that] caused all the fish to die.
O mere ka mmiri ha niile ghọọ ọbara, nke mere ka azụ niile dị nʼime ya nwụsịa.
30 [Then he caused] the land to become full of frogs; the king and his officials even had frogs in their bedrooms.
Ala ha niile jupụtara nʼawọ ọ bụladị nʼime ọnụụlọ ndina nke ndị na-achị achị.
31 [Then] Yahweh commanded that flies come, and swarms of them descended [on the people of Egypt], and gnats [also] swarmed across the whole country.
O kwuru okwu, igwe ijiji na anwụ nta dị iche iche ejupụta nʼala ha niile.
32 Instead of sending rain, Yahweh sent [terrible] hail, and lightning flashed throughout the land.
Nʼọnọdụ mmiri ozuzo, o zitere ha mkpụrụ mmiri na amụma egbe eluigwe nʼala ha niile;
33 The hail ruined their grapevines and fig trees and shattered all the [other] trees.
o tijisịrị osisi vaịnị na osisi fiig niile ha, kwatusịakwa osisi niile dị nʼala ha.
34 He commanded locusts to come, and swarms of them came; [so many that] they could not be counted.
O kwuru okwu, igurube na ụkpana a na-apụghị ịgụta ọnụ jupụtara ebe niile;
35 The locusts ate every green plant in the land, ruining all the crops.
ha richapụrụ ihe niile bụ ahịhịa ndụ dị nʼala ahụ, ripịakwa mkpụrụ niile ha kụrụ nʼubi ha.
36 [Then] Yahweh killed the oldest son in every house [of the people of Egypt] [DOU].
Mgbe ahụ, o gburu ndị niile e buru ụzọ mụọ nʼala ahụ, mkpụrụ mbụ nke ndị ikom ha.
37 Then he brought the Israeli [people] out [from Egypt]; they were carrying loads of [jewelry made of] silver and gold [that the women of Egypt had given to them]. No one was left behind because of being sick.
Ọ kpọpụtara ụmụ Izrel, ndị chịịrị ọlaọcha na ọlaedo, ọ dịghị otu onye nʼime ebo ya niile nke ahụ na-esighị ike.
38 [The people of] Egypt were glad when the Israeli people left, because they had become very afraid of the Israelis.
Obi dị Ijipt ụtọ mgbe ha pụrụ, nʼihi na oke egwu ndị Izrel dakwasịrị ha.
39 [Then] Yahweh spread a cloud to cover the Israelis; and [at night it became] a big fire [in the sky] to give them light.
Ọ gbasara igwe ojii dịka ihe mkpuchi, na ọkụ na-enye ìhè nʼabalị.
40 [Later] the Israelis asked for [meat to eat], and Yahweh sent [flocks of] quail to them, and he gave them plenty of manna [food] from the sky [each morning].
Ha rịọrọ ya, o zitere ha ụmụ nnụnụ kweel, jirikwa achịcha si nʼeluigwe nyejuo ha afọ.
41 [One day] he caused a rock to open up and water poured out [for them to drink]; it was like a river flowing in that desert.
O tiwara nkume ahụ, mmiri sọpụtara; ọ sọgharịrị nʼime ọzara dịka iyi.
42 [He did that] because he kept thinking about the sacred promise [that he had given] to his servant, Abraham.
Nʼihi na o chetara nkwa ya dị nsọ, nke o kwere ohu ya Ebraham.
43 So his people were joyful as he brought them out from Egypt; those people whom he had chosen were shouting joyfully as they went.
O ji aṅụrị dupụta ndị ya, jirikwa ọnọdụ iti mkpu ọṅụ dupụta ndị ya ọ họpụtara;
44 He gave to them the land that belonged to the people-groups [that lived there in Canaan], and the Israelis harvested crops that [other] people had planted.
o nyere ha ala niile nke mba dị iche iche, ha ghọrọ ndị nnweta nke ihe ndị ọzọ rụpụta,
45 [Yahweh did all these things] in order that his people would do all the things that he had commanded them to do [DOU]. Praise Yahweh!
ka ha nwee ike debe ụkpụrụ ya niile ma na-erubekwa isi nʼiwu ya niile. Toonu Onyenwe anyị.
