Psalms 118
1 Tell Yahweh that you thank him very much for the good [things that he has done for you] He faithfully loves [us, his people], forever.
Keleenụ Onyenwe anyị nʼihi na ọ dị mma; ịhụnanya ya na-adịgide ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
2 You Israeli [people] should [repeatedly] shout, “He faithfully loves [us, his people], forever!”
Ka ụmụ Izrel kwupụta nʼonwe ha sị, “Ịhụnanya ya na-adịgide ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.”
3 You [priests] who are descendants of Aaron should repeatedly shout, “He faithfully loves us, his people, forever!”
Ka ndị ezinaụlọ Erọn kwuokwa sị, “Ịhụnanya ya na-adịgide ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.”
4 All you who revere him should repeatedly shout, “He faithfully loves [us, his people], forever!”
Ka ndị niile na-atụ egwu Onyenwe anyị kwuo sị, “Ịhụnanya ya na-adịgide ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.”
5 When I was distressed, I called out to Yahweh, and he answered me and set me free [from my worries/troubles].
Nʼọnọdụ oke ihe mgbu m, akpọkuru m Onyenwe anyị, ọ zara m, mee ka m nwere onwe m.
6 Yahweh is (on my side/helping me), so I will not be afraid [of anything]. No one [RHQ] can do anything that will [prevent God from blessing] me forever.
Onyenwe anyị nọnyeere m, agaghị m atụ egwu. Gịnị ka mmadụ pụrụ ime m?
7 [Yes], Yahweh is (on my side/helping me), [so] I will look triumphantly at my enemies [while he defeats them].
Onyenwe anyị nọnyere m; ọ bụ onye na-enyere m aka. Aga m ele ndị iro m anya na mmeri.
8 It is better to trust in Yahweh than to (depend on/trust in) people.
Ọ kachasị mma ịgbaba nʼime Onyenwe anyị karịa ịtụkwasị ụmụ mmadụ obi.
9 It is better to trust Yahweh to protect [us] than to trust [that influential/important] people [will protect us].
Ọ kachasị mma ịgbaba nʼime Onyenwe anyị karịa ịtụkwasị ndị amara aha ha obi.
10 Armies of [MTY] many nations surrounded me, [but] Yahweh enabled me to defeat them by his power [MTY].
Mba niile gbara m gburugburu ma site nʼaha Onyenwe anyị aga m ala ha nʼiyi.
11 They completely surrounded me, [but] I defeated them all by the power of Yahweh.
Ha gbara m gburugburu, ma site nʼaha Onyenwe anyị ka m na-egbuda ha.
12 They swarmed around me like [angry] bees; they were like a fire that blazes strongly, but only briefly, in a thornbush, [but] I defeated them by the power [MTY] that Yahweh gave me.
Ha gbara m gburugburu dịka aṅụ, ma e menyụọla ha dịka ogwu na-ere ọkụ; site nʼaha Onyenwe anyị, ka m na-egbuda ha.
13 [My enemies] attacked me fiercely and almost defeated me, but Yahweh helped me.
Akwaghachiri m azụ, agaara m ada, ma Onyenwe anyị nyere m aka.
14 Yahweh is the one who makes me strong, and he is the one about whom I [always] sing; he has saved me [from my enemies].
Onyenwe anyị bụ ike m na abụ m; ọ ghọọla nzọpụta m.
15 Listen to the joyful songs of victory being sung in the tents of godly/righteous people! They sing, “Yahweh has defeated our enemies by his mighty power [MTY];
Olu iti mkpu ọṅụ na mmeri na-ada nʼime ụlọ ikwu ndị ezi omume: “Aka nri Onyenwe anyị emeela ọtụtụ ihe dị ukwuu!
16 he has raised his strong right arm [to show he has defeated his enemies]. Yahweh has completely defeated them!”
Aka nri Onyenwe anyị bụ ihe e weliri elu; aka nri Onyenwe anyị emeela ọtụtụ ihe dị ukwuu!”
17 I will not be killed [in battle]; I will live to proclaim the great things that Yahweh has done.
Agaghị m anwụ, kama aga m adị ndụ kwusaara ndị ọzọ ọrụ ebube Onyenwe anyị rụrụ.
18 Yahweh has punished me severely, but he has not allowed (me to die/[my enemies] to kill me).
Onyenwe anyị tara m ahụhụ nke ukwuu, ma o nyefeeghị m nʼaka ọnwụ.
19 [You gatekeepers], open for me the gates of the temple in order that I may enter and thank Yahweh.
Megheere m ọnụ ụzọ ama nke ezi omume; aga m abanye nye Onyenwe anyị ekele.
20 Those are the gates [through which we enter the temple to worship] Yahweh; godly/righteous people enter those gates.
Nke a bụ ọnụ ụzọ ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị, ebe ndị ezi omume ga-esite na ya banye.
21 [Yahweh], I thank you that you answered my prayer, and you saved me [from my enemies].
Aga m enye gị ekele, nʼihi na ị zara m; ị ghọọla nzọpụta m.
22 [Yahweh’s promised/chosen king is like] [MET] the stone which the builders rejected [when they were building a house], [but that stone] became the (cornerstone/most important stone in the building).
Nkume ahụ ndị na-ewu ụlọ jụrụ, aghọọla nkume isi ntọala ụlọ;
23 (This was done by Yahweh/Yahweh has done this), and it is a wonderful thing for us to see.
nke a bụ ọrụ aka Onyenwe anyị, ọ bụkwa ihe ịtụnanya nʼanya anyị.
24 This is the day in which [we remember that] Yahweh acted [powerfully to defeat our enemies]; we will rejoice and be glad/happy today.
Nke a bụ ụbọchị Onyenwe anyị anyị mere, ka anyị ṅụrịa ọṅụ, nweekwa obi ụtọ nʼime ya.
25 Yahweh, we plead with you to [keep] rescuing us [from our enemies]. Yahweh, please help us (accomplish/do well) [what we want to do].
O Onyenwe anyị, zọpụta anyị; o Onyenwe anyị, mee ka ihe gaara anyị nke ọma.
26 Yahweh, bless the one who will come with your authority [MTY]. And from the temple we (bless/[ask Yahweh to] bless) all of you.
Onye a gọziri agọzi ka onye ahụ bụ, nke na-abịa nʼaha Onyenwe anyị. Anyị sitere nʼụlọ Onyenwe anyị na-agọzi gị.
27 Yahweh is God, and he has caused his light to shine on us. Come, carrying [palm] branches, and join the people [who are starting] the festival as they go to the altar.
Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke, ọ bụ ya mere ka ìhè ya mụkwasị anyị. Chịrị igu nkwụ nʼaka gị, soro ndị ji ọṅụ bata nʼogige Chineke bịaruo nʼebe ịchụ aja.
28 [Yahweh], you are the God whom I [worship], and I will praise you! You are my God, and I will tell [everyone] that you are great!
Ị bụ Chineke m, aga m eto gị; ị bụ Chineke m, aga m ebuli gị elu.
29 Thank Yahweh, because he does good things [for us] He will faithfully love [us] forever.
Keleenụ Onyenwe anyị nʼihi na ọ dị mma, ịhụnanya ya na-adịgide ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
