Psalms 141
1 Yahweh, I call out to you; [please] help me quickly! Listen to me when I am calling to you.
Abụ Ọma Devid. O Onyenwe anyị, ana m akpọku gị; bịakwute m ọsịịsọ. Nụrụ olu m mgbe m na-akpọku gị.
2 Accept my prayer as though it were incense [being burned as an offering] [SIM] to you. And accept me while I lift up my hands [to pray] to you like you accept sacrifices [that I offer to you each] evening [SIM].
Ka ekpere m bịa nʼihu gị dịka ihe na-esi isi ụtọ; ka nchili elu nke m chịlịri aka m abụọ dịrị ka aja a na-achụ nʼanyasị.
3 Yahweh, do not allow me to say [MTY] things that are wrong; guard my lips.
Nyere m aka ka m mechie ọnụ m, o Onyenwe anyị; na-echekwa egbugbere ọnụ m nche.
4 Prevent me from wanting to do anything that is wrong, and from joining with wicked men when they want to do evil deeds [DOU]. Do not [even] allow me to share in eating delightful food with them!
Ekwela ka obi m nwee mmasị nʼihe ọjọọ, isonye ndị na-eme ihe ọjọọ rụọ ọrụ ajọ omume niile dị iche iche; ekwela ka m soro ha rikọọ ihe ụtọ ha niile.
5 It is all right if righteous people strike/hit me or rebuke me because they are trying to act kindly toward me [to teach me to do what is right], but I do not want wicked [people] to [honor me by] anointing my head with [olive] oil; I am always praying [that you will punish them because of] the wicked deeds [that they do].
Ka onye ezi omume tie m ihe, nke a na-egosi obi ebere; ka ọ baara m mba, nke a bụ mmanụ nʼelu isi m. Isi m agaghị ajụ ya. Otu ọ dị, ekpere m na-emegide ọrụ niile nke ndị na-eme ihe ọjọọ.
6 When their rulers are thrown down from the top of rocky cliffs, people will know that what you, Yahweh, said [about them] is true.
A ga-esite nʼelu nkume dị elu tụda ndị na-achị ha, mgbe ahụ, ndị ajọ omume ga-amata na okwu m niile bụ eziokwu.
7 Like a log that is split and cut into small pieces [SIM], their shattered bones will be scattered [on the ground] near [other] graves. (Sheol h7585)
Ha ga-ekwu sị, “Dịka mmadụ na-egburi, na-akọgharị ala, otu a ka a ghasasịrị ọkpụkpụ anyị nʼọnụ ili.” (Sheol h7585)
8 But Yahweh God, I [continue to] ask you [to help me]. I ask you to protect me; do not allow me to (die/be killed) [now]!
Ma olileanya m dị na gị, Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị nʼime gị ka m gbabara izere ndụ, ararala m nyefee nʼaka ọnwụ.
9 [It is as though] people have set traps for me; protect me from falling into those traps, [It is as though] they have spread nets to catch me; keep me from being caught in those nets.
Napụta m ka m ghara ịdaba nʼime ọnya igbudu niile nke ndị na-eme ajọ ihe siiri, sitekwa nʼọnya niile ha siiri m.
10 I desire that wicked [people] will fall into the traps they have set [to catch me] while I escape [from them].
Ka ndị ajọ omume daba nʼime ụgbụ ha, ma mụ onwe m ga-agabiga na-emerụghị ahụ ọbụla.
