Psalms 31
1 Yahweh, I have come to you to be protected; do not allow me to be [defeated, with the result that I am] disgraced. Since you always do what is fair/right, rescue me!
Abụ Ọma nke dịrị onyeisi abụ. Abụ Ọma Devid. Onyenwe anyị, nʼime gị, ka m gbabara izere ndụ; ekwela ka ihere mee m; site nʼezi omume gị gbapụta m.
2 Listen to me, and save me right now! Be [like] a huge rock [under which I can hide] [MET] and [like] a strong fort in which I will be safe.
Tọọ ntị gị nʼala nụrụ olu m, bịa ngwangwa gbapụta m; ghọọrọ m oke nkume nke ebe mgbaba, ebe mgbaba e wusiri ike maka nzọpụta m.
3 Yes, you are [like] my huge rock and my fort; guide me and lead me [DOU] in order that I can honor you [MTY].
Ebe ị bụ oke nkume m na ebe mgbaba m e wusiri ike, nʼihi aha gị, duo m ma na-edukwa m.
4 You are the one who protects me, so keep me from falling into the hidden traps [that my enemies have set for me].
Napụta m site nʼọnya nke e zobere nʼihi m, nʼihi na ọ bụ naanị gị bụ ebe mgbaba m siri ike.
5 Yahweh, you are a God who can be trusted, so I put myself into your care because you rescued me.
Nʼaka gị ka m na-enyefe mmụọ m; gbapụta m, o Onyenwe anyị, Chineke, onye eziokwu.
6 Yahweh, I hate those who worship useless idols, but I trust in you.
Akpọrọ m ha asị bụ ndị niile na-efe chi mba ọzọ ndị na-abaghị uru; ana m atụkwasị Onyenwe anyị obi m.
7 I will be very glad [DOU] because you faithfully love me. You see me when I have been afflicted, and you have known when I have had troubles.
Aga m enwe obi ụtọ ma ṅụrịkwaa ọṅụ nʼime ịhụnanya gị, nʼihi na ị hụrụ nsogbu m marakwa ihe mgbu nke mmụọ m.
8 You have not allowed my enemies to capture me; instead, you have rescued me from danger.
I wereghị m nyefee nʼaka ndị iro m, kama i nyela m ohere ijegharị ebe ọbụla m chọrọ.
9 [But now], Yahweh, be kind to me [again] because I am distressed. Because I cry [so much], I cannot see well, and I am completely exhausted.
O Onyenwe anyị, meere m amara nʼọnọdụ ihe mgbu m. Anya m abụọ na-acha uhie uhie nʼihi ịkwa akwa; ike adịghịkwa m.
10 I have become very weak because I am [so] miserable, and it is causing my life to become shorter. I have become weak because of all my troubles; even my bones are becoming weaker.
Iru ụjụ eriela m ahụ; ịkwa akwa m ewepụla ihe nʼafọ m; ihe mgbu m mere ka ike gwụsịa m ruo na ume adịghịkwa nʼọkpụkpụ m.
11 All of my enemies make fun of me, and [even] my neighbors despise me. [Even] my friends are afraid of me [because they think I am being punished by God], and when they see me on the streets, they run away.
Nʼihi ndị iro m niile; ndị agbataobi m na-elelị m anya. Ndị enyi m na-atụ ụjọ ịbịakwute m, ndị hụrụ m nʼokporoụzọ na-esite ụzọ ọzọ gafee.
12 People have forgotten me like they forget people who are dead. [They think I am as useless] as a broken pot.
Aghọọla m onye e chefuru echefu, dị ka a ga-asị na m nwụrụ anwụ. A pụrụ iji ite kụwara akwụwa tụnyere m.
13 I have heard people slandering me, and they have caused me to become terrified. My enemies are making plans in order to kill me.
Anụla m nkwulu ha megide m; oke egwu dị nʼakụkụ niile; ha na-agba izu megide m, na-agba izu nzuzo iji napụ m ndụ m.
14 But Yahweh, I trust in you. You are my God.
Ma ana m atụkwasị gị obi Onyenwe anyị. Ekwuola m ya sị, “Naanị gị bụ Chineke m.”
15 My whole life [MTY] is in your hands; save me from my enemies, from those who pursue me.
Oge m niile dị gị nʼaka. Napụta m nʼaka ndị iro m na nʼaka ndị ahụ na-adịghị ezu ike ịchụ m ọsọ.
16 Be kind to me and rescue me because you always faithfully love me.
Mee ka amara gị mụkwasị ohu gị dịka anyanwụ; zọpụta m nʼihi ịhụnanya gị na-enweghị ọgwụgwụ.
17 Yahweh, I call out to you, so do not allow me to be disgraced. I desire that wicked people will be disgraced; I want them to [soon die and] go down to the place where the dead people are. (Sheol h7585)
O Onyenwe anyị, ekwela ka ihere mee m, nʼihi na akpọkuola m gị; kama mee ka ihere mee ndị na-eme ihe ọjọọ, ka ha tọgbọrọ nʼala mmụọ debe ọnụ ha duu. (Sheol h7585)
18 I desire that you will cause people [MTY] who tell lies to be unable to speak. Do that to people who are proud and those who arrogantly accuse righteous people.
Ka ọnụ ahụ ha ji ekwu okwu ụgha mechie kpamkpam; nʼihi na ọ bụ site na mpako na nlelị ka ha ji na-ekwu okwu megide ndị ezi omume.
19 You have stored up many blessings for those who revere you. You do those good things for those who go to you to be protected; everyone sees you doing that.
Lee ka ịdị mma gị si baa ụba, nke i na-edebere ndị niile na-atụ egwu gị, nke ị na-enye ndị na-agbaba nʼime gị, nʼihu ọha mmadụ.
20 You hide people in your presence where it is safe, and protect them from people who plot [to kill them]. You hide them in safe places from their enemies [MTY] who accuse/insult them.
I na-ezobe ha nʼebe nzuzo gị pụọ nʼizu nzuzo nke ụmụ mmadụ; ị na-echebe ha nʼime ebe obibi gị; ka ha pụọ nʼebubo nke ire dị iche iche.
21 Praise Yahweh! When my enemies surrounded the city [in which I was living], he showed me in a wonderful way that he faithfully loves me.
Otuto dịrị Onyenwe anyị nʼihi na o gosila m ịhụnanya ya dị ukwuu mgbe m nọ nʼobodo ndị iro gbara gburugburu.
22 I was afraid, and I cried out, “I have been separated from Yahweh!” but you heard me and answered my cry for help.
Akụjara m, kwuo okwu nʼụjọ sị, “Ewezugala m site nʼihu ya!” Ma ị nụrụ arịrịọ m maka ebere mgbe m kpọkuru gị ka i nyere m aka.
23 You people who belong to Yahweh, love him! Those who are loyal to him, he protects, but those who are very proud, he punishes them severely like they deserve to be punished.
Hụnụ Onyenwe anyị nʼanya, unu ndị ya niile kwesiri ntụkwasị obi, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị na-anapụta ndị niile kwesiri ntụkwasị obi nye ya, ma ọ na-akwụghachi ndị mpako oke zuru ezu.
24 You who confidently expect Yahweh [to do great things for you], be strong, be courageous!
Ya mere, dịrịnụ ike, ka obi siekwa unu ike, unu niile ndị olileanya ha dị nʼime Onyenwe anyị.
