Psalms 72
1 A psalm written by Solomon. O God, enable [me, ] the king [whom you appointed in Israel], to rule justly. Show/Teach me how to judge matters fairly
Abụ nke Solomọn. O Chineke, jiri ikpe ziri ezi mejupụta eze. Nyekwa nwa eze ezi omume gị.
2 in order that I will judge your people fairly, that I will govern your oppressed people justly.
Ọ ga-eji ezi omume chịa ndị gị, jiri ikpe ziri ezi chịa ndị a na-emegbu.
3 I desire that [all over the country—even] on the hills and mountains [DOU]— people will live peacefully and righteously.
Ka ugwu niile wetara ndị mmadụ ịba ụba; ugwu nta niile wetakwara ha mkpụrụ ezi omume.
4 Help [me], your king, to defend the poor people and to rescue needy people and to defeat those who oppress them.
Ọ ga-ekpepụta ndị a na-emegbu nʼetiti ndị mmadụ, zọpụtakwa ụmụntakịrị ndị nọ na mkpa; ọ ga-egwepịa onye mmegbu.
5 I desire that your people will revere you as long as the moon shines, [forever].
Ka ọ dịgide ruo mgbe niile dịka anyanwụ na-adịgide, dịka ọnwa na-adịgidekwa ruo ọgbọ niile.
6 I desire that my rule will [be enjoyed by the people] [SIM] like [they enjoy] rain on growing crops, like [they enjoy] showers that fall on the land.
Ọ ga-adị ka mmiri na-ezokwasị ala ubi a sụrụ asụ, dịka mmiri ozuzo na-ede elu ala.
7 I hope/desire that people will live righteously during the years that I rule, and that my people will live peacefully and prosperously as long as the moon shines.
Nʼoge ndụ ya, ka ndị ezi omume too, na-awasa; ịba ụba ga-ejupụta ebe niile ruo mgbe ọnwa agaghị adịkwa.
8 I hope/desire that the kings [of Israel] will rule [the people] in all the area from one sea [in the east] to another [in the west], and from the [Euphrates] River to the most remote/distant places on earth.
Ọ ga-achị site nʼosimiri ruo osimiri, na-esite nʼiyi ukwu. ruo na nsọtụ niile nke ụwa
9 I hope/desire that those who live in the desert will bow down before them, and that their enemies will throw themselves on the ground [in submission] to them.
Ebo niile ndị bi nʼọzara ga-akpọ isiala nye ya, ndị iro ya niile ga-abụ ndị e wedara nʼala.
10 I hope/desire that the kings of Spain and of the islands [in the Mediterranean Sea] will bring (tribute money/taxes) to the kings [of Israel], and that the kings of Sheba [to the south] and of Seba [to the southwest] will bring them gifts.
Ndị eze Tashish na mba niile dị nʼebe dị anya, ga-atụ ụtụ wetara ya; e, ọ bụladị ndị eze si Sheba na Seba, ga-ewetara ya ọtụtụ onyinye.
11 I hope/desire that all the [other] kings [in the world] will bow before the kings [of Israel], and that [people of] all nations will serve them.
Ndị eze niile ga-akpọ isiala nye ya, mba niile ga-ejekwara ya ozi.
12 They will rescue poor people when they (cry out/plead) for help, and help those who are needy and those who have no one to help them.
Nʼihi na ọ ga-azọpụta ndị nọ na mkpa mgbe ha kpọkuru ya. Ọ ga-azọpụtakwa ndị ogbenye na-enweghị onye ga-enyere ha aka.
13 They will pity those who are weak and needy; he saves the people’s lives.
Ọ ga-enwe ọmịiko nʼahụ ndị na-enweghị ike, na ndị nọ na mkpa, ọ ga-azọpụta ndị nọ na mkpa site nʼọnwụ.
14 Our kings will rescue the people from being oppressed and from being treated cruelly, [because] (their lives/they) [MTY] are precious to our kings.
Ọ ga-azọpụta ha site na mkpagbu na ihe ike, nʼihi na ndụ ha dị oke ọnụahịa nʼanya ya.
15 I hope/desire that our kings will live a long time! I hope/desire that they will be given gold from Sheba. I desire that people will always pray for our kings and praise them all the time, [every day].
Ka ọ dị ogologo ndụ! Ka e nye ya ọlaọcha e wetara na Sheba. Ka ndị mmadụ na-ekpere ya ekpere mgbe niile, ma gọziekwa ya ogologo ụbọchị niile.
16 I hope/desire that the fields will produce plenty of grain [everywhere, even] on the tops of the hills in the land where they rule, like the grain that grows [on the hills] in Lebanon. I hope/desire that the cities [in Israel] will be full of people like the fields are full of grass.
Ka mkpụrụ ọka jupụta nʼebe niile nʼala a; ka ha na-efufegharị nʼelu ugwu niile. Ka mkpụrụ ubi ya wasaa dịka Lebanọn; ka mmadụ jupụta nke ọma nʼobodo dịka ahịhịa ndụ nke ọhịa.
17 I desire that the names of our kings will never be forgotten. I hope/desire that people will remember them as long as the sun shines. I hope/desire that people of all nations will ask (God to bless them/that they will be blessed by God) just like he has blessed the kings [of Israel].
Ka aha ya na-adịgide ruo mgbe ebighị ebi; ka ọ na-adịgide ruo mgbe niile dịka anyanwụ si adịgide. A ga-esite na ya gọzie mba niile, a ga-akpọ ya onye a gọziri agọzi.
18 Praise Yahweh, the God whom [we] Israelis [worship]; he is the only one who does wonderful things.
Otuto dịrị Onyenwe anyị Chineke, Chineke nke Izrel, onye naanị ya na-arụ ọrụ ebube dị iche iche.
19 Praise him forever! I desire that (his glory will fill the whole world/people all over the world may see that he is very great) [MTY]! Amen! May it be so!
Otuto dịrị aha ya dị ebube ruo ebighị ebi; ka ụwa niile jupụta nʼebube ya.
20 That is the end of this group of prayers/songs written by David, the son of Jesse.
Nke a bụ ọgwụgwụ ekpere Devid nwa Jesi.
