Psalms 66
1 [Tell] everyone on the earth that they should sing joyfully to praise God!
Abụ dịrị onyeisi abụ. Otu Abụ. Abụ Ọma. Ụwa niile, jirinụ ọṅụ tikuo Chineke!
2 They should sing songs that say that God [MTY] is very great, and they should tell everyone that he is very glorious!
Bụọ abụ banyere ebube aha ya; meenụ ka otuto ya bụrụ ihe dị ebube!
3 They should say to God, “The things that you do are awesome! You are very powerful, with the result that your enemies (cringe/bow down) in front of you.”
Gwa Chineke okwu sị ya, “Lee ka ọrụ gị niile si dị oke egwu! Ike gị dị nnọọ ukwu, ya mere ndị iro gị, na-ada nʼihu gị nʼihi ụjọ.
4 Everyone on the earth [should] worship God and sing to praise him and honor him [MTY].
Ndị niile bi nʼụwa na-akpọ isiala nye gị; ha na-abụku gị abụ otuto, ha na-abụ abụ otuto nye aha gị.” (Sela)
5 Come and think about what God has done! Think about the awesome things that he has done.
Bịa lee ihe Chineke mere, ụdị ọrụ oke egwu ọ na-arụ nʼihi mmadụ!
6 He caused the [Red] Sea to become dry land, [with the result that our] ancestors were able to walk right through it. There we rejoiced because of what he [had done].
O mere ka osimiri ghọọ ala akọrọ, ha ji ụkwụ si nʼetiti osimiri gafee; bịanụ ka anyị ṅụrịa nʼime ya.
7 By his great power he rules forever, and he keeps watching all the nations [to see what things they do], [so] those nations that want to rebel [against him] should not be proud.
Ọ na-achị ruo mgbe ebighị ebi site nʼike ya, anya ya na-elekwa mba niile, ka ndị nnupu isi ghara ịfụlị onwe ha elu megide ya. (Sela)
8 You people [of all nations], praise our God! Praise him loudly in order that people will hear you as you praise him.
Toonu Chineke anyị, unu mmadụ niile, kwere ka a nụ ụda otuto ya;
9 He has kept us alive, and he has not allowed us to (stumble/be defeated).
O chebela ndụ anyị, ma mee ka ụkwụ anyị ghara ịmịchapụ.
10 God, you have tested us; you have allowed us to experience great difficulties [to make our lives become pure] as [people] put precious metals in a hot fire [to burn out what is impure] [MET].
Nʼihi na ọ bụ gị, O Chineke, nwara anyị; ị nụchara anyị dịka ọlaọcha.
11 [It is as if] you allowed us to fall into traps [MET], and you [forced us to endure difficult things which were like] putting heavy loads on our backs [MET].
Ị kpọbatara anyị nʼụlọ mkpọrọ, ma bokwasị ibu dị arọ nʼazụ anyị.
12 You allowed [our] enemies to trample on us; we [experienced difficulties/troubles that were like] [MET] walking through fires and floods, but now you have brought us into a place where we have plenty.
I kwere ka ndị mmadụ rịa anyị elu; anyị esitela nʼime ọkụ na nʼime mmiri gafee. Ị kpọbatala anyị ebe anyị nwezuru ihe niile.
13 [Yahweh], I will bring to your temple offerings that are to be completely burned [on the altar]; I will offer to you what I promised.
Aga m e ji aja nsure ọkụ bata nʼime ụlọnsọ ukwu gị, imezu nkwa m kwere gị
14 When I was experiencing [much] trouble, I said that I would bring offerings to you [if you rescued me]; [and you did rescue me, so] I will bring to you what I promised.
nʼihi na nke a bụ ihe m ji ọnụ m kwuo, ọ bụkwa nke a ka egbugbere ọnụ m kwupụtara na m ga-eme nʼoge nsogbu m.
15 I will bring sheep to be burned on the altar, and I will [also] sacrifice bulls and goats, and when they are burning, [you will be pleased when] the smoke [rises up] ([to you/to the sky]).
Aga m eji anụ ndị gbara abụba chụọrọ gị aja, ya na aja onyinye nke ọtụtụ ebule; Aga m achụkwa aja onyinye nke ọtụtụ oke ehi na mkpi. (Sela)
16 All you [people] who revere God, come and listen, and I will tell you what he has done for me.
Bịanụ nụrụ, unu niile na-atụ egwu Chineke; ka m kọọrọ unu ihe o meere m.
17 I called out to him to help me, and I praised him while I was speaking to him [MTY].
Eji m ọnụ m kpọkuo ya; otuto ya dị m nʼire.
18 If I had ignored the sins that I had committed, the Lord would not have paid any attention to me.
Ọ bụrụ na mmehie na-amasị m nʼime obi m, Onyenwe anyị agaraghị ege m ntị;
19 But because [I confessed my sins], God has listened to me and he paid attention to my prayers.
ma Chineke gere ntị nʼezie, nụrụkwa olu arịrịọ m.
20 I praise God because he has not ignored my prayers or stopped faithfully loving me.
Otuto dịrị Chineke, onye na-ajụghị ekpere m maọbụ ghara izi m ịhụnanya ya!
