Psalms 94
1 Yahweh, you are able to get revenge [on your enemies]. [So] show them that you are going to punish them!
O Onyenwe anyị, Chineke onye na-abọ ọbọ, o Chineke, onye na-abọ ọbọ, zipụta onwe gị.
2 You are the one who judges all [people on] the earth; [so] arise, and give/punish the proud [leaders of our] people like they deserve.
Bilie, o Onye Ikpe nke ụwa; kwụghachi ndị nganga ụgwọ ọrụ ruuru ha.
3 Yahweh, how long will those wicked [people] be glad/happy? It is not right that [RHQ] they continue being glad!
Onyenwe anyị, ọ bụ ruo ole mgbe? Ọ bụ ruo ole mgbe ka ndị na-eme ajọ omume ga-anọgide na-aṅụrị ọṅụ?
4 They do evil things, and they boast about doing them; how long will they [be allowed to] continue doing that?
Ha na-ekwuwapụ okwu mpako; ndị niile na-eme ajọ ihe jupụtara nʼitu ọnụ.
5 Yahweh, [it is as though] those wicked people crush [us], your people; they (oppress/treat cruelly) those who belong to you [DOU].
Ha na-azọpịa ndị gị, O Onyenwe anyị; ha na-emegbu ihe nketa gị.
6 They murder widows and orphans and people from other countries who [think it is safe to] live in our land.
Ha na-egbu ndị di ha nwụrụ na ndị ọbịa; ha na-egbu ndị na-enweghị nna.
7 Those wicked people say, “Yahweh does not see anything; [so] the God whom those Israelis [worship] does not see [the evil things that we do].”
Ha na-asị, “Onyenwe anyị anaghị ahụ ihe ndị a; Chineke Jekọb na-agba nkịtị.”
8 You evil people [who rule Israel], you are foolish and stupid; when will you become wise [RHQ]?
Lezienụ anya, unu ndị amamihe kọrọ nʼetiti ndị m; unu ndị nzuzu, olee mgbe unu ga-amụta ihe?
9 God made our ears; so [do you think that] he cannot hear [what you say] [RHQ]? He created our eyes; so do you think that he cannot see [the evil things that you do] [RHQ]?
Ọ pụtara na onye kpụrụ ntị anaghị anụ ihe? Ọ pụtara na onye kere anya anaghị ahụ ụzọ?
10 He also scolds [the leaders of other] nations; so do you think that he will not punish [you] [RHQ]? He is the one who knows everything; [so why do you think that he does not know what you do] [RHQ]?
Ọ pụtara na onye na-adọ mba niile aka na ntị agaghị ata ha ahụhụ? Ọ pụtara na onye na-ezi mmadụ ihe enweghị ihe ọmụma?
11 Yahweh knows [everything] that people are thinking; he knows that what they think ([is useless/vanishes as quickly as]) smoke [MET].
Onyenwe anyị maara echiche obi mmadụ; ọ maara na ihe mmadụ na-eche nʼobi ya bụ naanị ihe na-enweghị isi.
12 Yahweh, you are pleased with people who [want you to] discipline/correct them, those who [want you to] teach them your laws.
Onye a gọziri agọzi ka mmadụ ahụ bụ, onye ị na-adọ aka na ntị, O Onyenwe anyị, onye ahụ ị na-akụziri ihe site nʼiwu gị;
13 When those people have had troubles, you cause those troubles to cease, and some day [it will be as though] you will dig pits for wicked people, and they will fall into those pits [and die].
ị na-enye ya izuike site nʼụbọchị nsogbu; tutu ruo mgbe a ga-egwuru ndị ajọ omume olulu.
14 Yahweh will not abandon his people; he will not desert like that those who belong to him [DOU].
Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị agaghị ajụ ndị ya; ọ gaghị agbakụta ihe nketa ya azụ.
15 [Some day] judges will decide matters fairly for people, and all honest/righteous people will be pleased about that.
Ezi omume ga-abụ ntọala ikpe ikpe niile; ndị niile ndị ziri ezi nʼobi ga-agbasokwa ya.
16 But when wicked [people] ([oppressed me/treated me cruelly]), (who defended me?/no one defended me.) [RHQ] No one stood up to testify for me against those evil people [RHQ].
Onye ga-ebiliri m imegide ndị ajọ omume? Onye ga-eguzo nʼọnọdụ m imegide ndị na-eme ajọ ihe?
17 If Yahweh had not helped me [at that time], [I would have been executed], [and] my soul/spirit would have gone to the place where [dead people] say nothing.
A sị na Onyenwe anyị abịaghị nyere m aka, agaara m rịị abụ onye nwụrụ anwụ.
18 I said/thought [to myself], “I am about to die,” but Yahweh, you held me up by faithfully loving me.
Mgbe m kwuru sị, “Ụkwụ m na-agbuchapụ,” ọ bụ ịhụnanya gị, O Onyenwe anyị, kwagidere m.
19 Whenever I am very worried, you comfort/encourage me and cause me to be happy.
Mgbe oke nchekasị obi batara nʼime m, nkasiobi gị wetara mkpụrụobi m ọṅụ.
20 You have nothing to do with wicked judges, who establish laws that allow people to do what is not legal.
A ga-ejikọta gị na ocheeze ọchịchị ya rụrụ arụ, nke na-eweta mmekpa ahụ site nʼiwu ya?
21 They plan to get rid of righteous [people], and they declare that (innocent people/people who have not done what is wrong) must be executed.
Ndị ajọ omume na-ejikọta onwe ha imegide ndị ezi omume na-amakwa ndị aka ha dị ọcha ikpe ọnwụ.
22 But Yahweh (has become [like] my fortress/protects me) [MET]; my God is [like a huge] rock under which I am protected/safe [MET].
Ma Onyenwe anyị a bụrụla ebe mgbaba e wusiri ike nye m, na Chineke m na oke nkume ebe m na-ezere ndụ.
23 He will punish those wicked leaders in return for the wicked things that they have done, and will get rid of them for the sins that they have committed; [yes], Yahweh our God will (wipe them out/destroy them completely).
Ọ ga-akwụghachi ha ụgwọ ọrụ kwesiri mmehie ha, lakwaa ha nʼiyi nʼihi ajọ omume ha; Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị ga-ala ha nʼiyi.
