Psalms 35
1 By David. Strive, Jehovah, with my strivers, fight with my fighters,
Abụ Ọma Devid. O Onyenwe anyị, lụso ha ọgụ bụ ndị na-alụso m ọgụ; buso ha agha bụ ndị na-ebuso m agha.
2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and rise for my help,
Yikwasị uwe agha gị, werekwa ọta gị; bilie bịa nyere m aka.
3 And draw out spear and lance, To meet my pursuers. Say to my soul, 'Thy salvation I [am].'
Sepụta ùbe gị na anyụike agha gị; bịa zute ndị na-achụ m ọsọ. Gwa mkpụrụobi m, “Abụ m nzọpụta gị.”
4 They are ashamed and blush, those seeking my soul, Turned backward and confounded, Those devising my evil.
Mee ka ihere mee ndị niile na-agbalịsị ike igbu m. Ka ndị na-agba izuzu igbu m bụrụkwa ndị a chụghachiri azụ, na ndị ihere mere.
5 They are as chaff before wind, And a messenger of Jehovah driving away.
Ka ha dịka igbugbo ọka mgbe oke ifufe na-efe, ka mmụọ ozi Onyenwe anyị bụrụ onye na-achụfu ha.
6 Their way is darkness and slipperiness, And a messenger of Jehovah their pursuer.
Mee ka ụzọ ha gbaa ọchịchịrị, bụrụkwa ebe na-amị amị; ka mmụọ ozi Onyenwe anyị bụrụ onye na-achụ ha ọsọ.
7 For without cause they hid for me their netpit, Without cause they digged for my soul.
Ọ bụ ezie na ọ dịghị ihe ọjọọ ọbụla m mere ha, ma ha siere m ọnya, gwukwaara m olulu nʼụzọ m.
8 Meet him doth desolation — he knoweth not, And his net that he hid catcheth him, For desolation he falleth into it.
Ka mbibi bịakwasị ha na mberede, ka ụgbụ ha zobeere m kee ha; ka ha lakwaa nʼiyi site nʼidaba nʼolulu ahụ ha gwuru.
9 And my soul is joyful in Jehovah, It rejoiceth in His salvation.
Mgbe ahụ, mkpụrụobi m ga-aṅụrị ọṅụ na Onyenwe anyị, ọ ga-enwekwa obi ụtọ nʼime nzọpụta ya.
10 All my bones say, 'Jehovah, who is like Thee, Delivering the poor from the stronger than he, And the poor and needy from his plunderer.'
Ihe niile dị nʼime m ga-eti mkpu sị, “O Onyenwe anyị, ọ bụ onye dịka gị? Ị na-agbapụta ndị na-adịghị ike site nʼaka ndị dị ike karịa ha, ma na-anapụta ndị ogbenye ndị chọrọ enyemaka site nʼaka ndị na-apụnara ha ihe ha nwere nʼike.”
11 Violent witnesses rise up, That which I have not known they ask me.
Ndị akaebe, ndị kwara obi nʼazụ na-apụkwute m; ha na-ebo m ebubo ihe ndị m na-anụbeghị ihe banyere ha na mbụ.
12 They pay me evil for good, bereaving my soul,
Ana m emere ha ihe ọma, ma ha na-akwụghachi m ihe ọjọọ. Nke a na-ewute mmụọ m ruo nʼọnwụ.
13 And I — in their sickness my clothing [is] sackcloth, I have humbled with fastings my soul, And my prayer unto my bosom returneth.
Mgbe ha na-arịa ọrịa, eyiri m akwa mkpe, site na ibu ọnụ weda onwe m nʼala. Mgbe ekpere m lọghachikwutere m na-enweghị ọsịsa,
14 As [if] a friend, as [if] my brother, I walked habitually, As a mourner for a mother, Mourning I have bowed down.
ejegharịrị m nʼọnọdụ iru ụjụ, dịka a ga-asị na ọ bụ nwanne m, maọbụ enyi m, jegharịakwa nʼobi ọjọọ dịka a ga-asị na ọ bụ nne m na-arịa ọrịa ahụ.
15 And — in my halting they have rejoiced, And have been gathered together, Gathered against me were the smiters, And I have not known, They have rent, and they have not ceased;
Ma mgbe m dahiere, ha zukọtara na-aṅụrị ọṅụ; mgbe m na-adịghị ele anya, ha biliri imegide m. Ha na-ekwulu m na-esepụghị aka.
16 With profane ones, mockers in feasts, Gnashing against me their teeth.
Dịka ndị ajọ omume, ha na-akwa m emo nʼiwe, na-atakwara m ikikere eze ha.
17 Lord, how long dost thou behold? Keep back my soul from their desolations, From young lions my only one.
O Onyenwe anyị, ọ bụ ruo ole mgbe ka ị ga-anọ na-ele ihe na-eme? Gbapụta ndụ m site na mbibi ha niile, site nʼaka ụmụ ọdụm ndị a, gbapụta ndụ m dị oke ọnụahịa.
18 I thank Thee in a great assembly, Among a mighty people I praise Thee.
Aga m enye gị ekele nʼihu ọha mmadụ dị ukwuu, nʼetiti ọha kachasị ibe ya dị ukwuu, ka m ga-anọ too gị.
19 Mine enemies rejoice not over me [with] falsehood, Those hating me without cause wink the eye.
Ekwekwala ka ndị ahụ bụ ndị iro m, mgbe o nweghị ihe m mere ha, chịa m ọchị; ekwekwala ka ndị ahụ kpọrọ m asị nʼihi iro, mgbe o nweghị ihe m mere ha nwee izuike.
20 For they speak not peace, And against the quiet of the land, Deceitful words they devise,
Nʼihi na ọ bụghị okwu udo ka ha na-ekwu, kama ha na-echepụta ebubo ụgha dị iche iche megide ndị ahụ na-anọrọ onwe ha jụụ nʼime ala ahụ.
21 And they enlarge against me their mouth, They said, 'Aha, aha, our eye hath seen.'
Nʼiju anya, ha na-ele m anya na-eti mkpu na-asị, “Ewoo! Ewoo! Anya anyị abụọ ka anyị ji hụ ya.”
22 Thou hast seen, O Jehovah, Be not silent, O Lord — be not far from me,
O Onyenwe anyị, ị hụla nke a, agbakwala nkịtị; anọkwala m nʼebe dị anya, O Onyenwe anyị.
23 Stir up, and wake to my judgment, My God, and my Lord, to my plea.
Teta, bilie bụụrụ m onye mkpepụta m. Kpechitere m ọnụ m, Chineke m na onyenwe m.
24 Judge me according to Thy righteousness, O Jehovah my God, And they do not rejoice over me.
O Onyenwe anyị Chineke m, kpepụta m nʼihi ezi omume gị; ekwekwala ka ha chịa m ọchị.
25 They do not say in their heart, 'Aha, our desire.' They do not say, 'We swallowed him up.'
Ekwekwala ka ha sị, “Ahaa, ọ dị ka anyị tụrụ anya ya!” Maọbụ sị, “Anyị eloola ya!”
26 They are ashamed and confounded together, Who are rejoicing at my evil. They put on shame and confusion, Who are magnifying themselves against me.
Mee ka ihere na ọgbaaghara bụrụ nke ndị na-achị m ọchị nʼime mkpagbu m; were ihere na nweda nʼala yinye ha dịka uwe, bụ ndị niile na-ebuli onwe ha elu imegide m.
27 They sing and rejoice, who are desiring my righteousness, And they say continually, 'Jehovah is magnified, Who is desiring the peace of His servant.'
Ka ndị niile mkpepụta m dị mma were obi ụtọ tie mkpu ọṅụ; ka ha na-asị mgbe niile, “Ka e bulie Onyenwe anyị elu, onye ọdịmma nke ohu ya na-amasị.”
28 And my tongue uttereth Thy righteousness, All the day Thy praise!
Ire m ga-ekwu banyere ezi omume gị na otuto gị niile ogologo ụbọchị niile.
