Psalms 140
1 To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. Deliver me, O Jehovah, from an evil man, From one of violence Thou keepest me.
Abụ nke dịrị onyeisi abụ. Abụ Ọma Devid. O Onyenwe anyị, dọpụta m site nʼaka ndị na-eme ihe ọjọọ. Chebe m ka m ghara ịdaba nʼaka ndị na-eme ihe ike dị iche iche.
2 Who have devised evils in the heart, All the day they assemble [for] wars.
Ndị na-atụ atụmatụ ime ihe ọjọọ nʼobi ha na-akpali agha ụbọchị niile.
3 They sharpened their tongue as a serpent, Poison of an adder [is] under their lips. (Selah)
Ha na-eme ire ha ka ha dị nkọ dịka nke agwọ; elo ajụala dị nʼegbugbere ọnụ ha. (Sela)
4 Preserve me, Jehovah, from the hands of the wicked, From one of violence Thou keepest me, Who have devised to overthrow my steps.
Chebe m Onyenwe anyị, ka m ghara ịdaba nʼaka ndị na-emebi iwu; chebe m ka m ghara ịdaba nʼaka ndị na-eme ihe ike, ndị na-eche echiche ọdịda m.
5 The proud hid a snare for me — and cords, They spread a net by the side of the path, Snares they have set for me. (Selah)
Ndị mpako esielera m ọnya igbudu; ha agbasaala ụgbụ ha na udo ha, siekwara m ọnya dị iche iche nʼụzọ m na-aga. (Sela)
6 I have said to Jehovah, 'My God [art] Thou, Hear, Jehovah, the voice of my supplications.'
A sịrị m Onyenwe anyị, “Gị onwe gị bụ Chineke m.” Nụrụ, O Onyenwe anyị, olu arịrịọ m maka amara.
7 O Jehovah, my Lord, strength of my salvation, Thou hast covered my head in the day of armour.
Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị Onye nzọpụta m dị ike, ị na-ekpuchi isi m nʼụbọchị agha.
8 Grant not, O Jehovah, the desires of the wicked, His wicked device bring not forth, They are high. (Selah)
Ekwekwala ka ndị ajọ omume chọta ihe ha na-achọ, o Onyenwe anyị, ekwekwala ka nzube ha mezuo. (Sela)
9 The chief of my surrounders, The perverseness of their lips covereth them.
Ndị niile gbara m gburugburu na-ebuli isi ha elu na nganga ka ndụ ọjọọ nke egbugbere ọnụ ha rikpuo ha.
10 They cause to fall on themselves burning coals, Into fire He doth cast them, Into deep pits — they arise not.
Ka icheku ọkụ na-ere ere dakwasị ha; ka a tụba ha nʼime ọkụ na-ere ere, nʼime olulu apịtị jupụtara, nke ha na-enweghị ike isite nʼime ya pụta ọzọ.
11 A talkative man is not established in the earth, One of violence — evil hunteth to overflowing.
Ekwela ka ndị na-ekwu okwu nkwulu guzosie ike nʼala, ka ihe ọjọọ chụda ndị na-eme ihe ike.
12 I have known that Jehovah doth execute The judgment of the afflicted, The judgment of the needy.
Amaara m na Onyenwe anyị ga-ekpe ikpe ziri ezi nye ndị ogbenye na-emekwa ka ndị nọ na mkpa nweta ihe ruuru ha.
13 Only — the righteous give thanks to Thy name, The upright do dwell with Thy presence!
Nʼezie, ndị ezi omume ga-eto aha gị, ndị ziri ezi ga-ebikwa nʼihu gị.
