Psalms 71
1 In Thee, O Jehovah, I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed to the age.
Onyenwe anyị, nʼime gị ka m gbabara izere ndụ; ekwela ka ihere mee m.
2 In Thy righteousness Thou dost deliver me, And dost cause me to escape, Incline unto me Thine ear, and save me.
Site nʼezi omume gị, gbapụta m, mee ka m nwere onwe m; tọọ ntị gị nʼala nụrụ olu m ma zọpụta m.
3 Be to me for a rock — a habitation, To go in continually, Thou hast given command to save me, For my rock and my bulwark [art] Thou.
Ghọọrọ m oke nkume nke ebe mgbaba, ebe m nwere ike ịgbaba mgbe ọbụla; nye iwu maka nzọpụta m, nʼihi na ị bụ oke nkume m na ebe m e wusiri ike.
4 O my God, cause me to escape From the hand of the wicked, From the hand of the perverse and violent.
O Chineke m, site nʼaka ndị ajọ omume na ndị mmadụ na-eme ihe ọjọọ, ndị afọ tara mmiri, gbapụta m.
5 For Thou [art] my hope, O Lord Jehovah, My trust from my youth.
Nʼihi na gị onwe gị bụrịị olileanya m, Onyenwe m Onyenwe anyị, ntụkwasị obi m site na mgbe m bụ nwantakịrị.
6 By Thee I have been supported from the womb, From my mother's bowels Thou dost cut me out, In Thee [is] my praise continually.
Ọ bụ gị ka m tụkwasịrị obi, site nʼoge amụrụ m; gị onwe gị wepụtara m site nʼafọ nne m. Aga m anọgide na-eto gị.
7 As a wonder I have been to many, And Thou [art] my strong refuge.
Adịla m ka ihe ama nye ọtụtụ mmadụ, ma ị bụ ebe mgbaba m siri ike.
8 Filled is my mouth [with] Thy praise, All the day [with] Thy beauty.
Ọnụ m jupụtara nʼotuto gị, ọ na-ekwupụta ịma mma gị ogologo ụbọchị niile.
9 Cast me not off at the time of old age, According to the consumption of my power forsake me not.
Agbakụtala m azụ mgbe m mere agadi; ahapụkwala m mgbe ike adịghịkwa m.
10 For mine enemies have spoken against me, And those watching my soul have taken counsel together,
Nʼihi na ndị iro m na-ekwu okwu megide m; ndị ahụ na-achọ igbu m na-agbarịta izu nzuzo.
11 Saying, 'God hath forsaken him, Pursue and catch him, for there is no deliverer.'
Ha na-asị, “Chineke agbakụtala ya azụ; chụọ ya ọsọ, jidekwa ya, nʼihi na o nweghị onye ọbụla ga-agbapụta ya.”
12 O God, be not far from me, O my God, for my help make haste.
O Chineke, anọla m ebe dị anya; O Chineke m, bịa ngwangwa nyere m aka.
13 They are ashamed, they are consumed, Who are opposing my soul, They are covered [with] reproach and blushing, Who are seeking my evil,
Ka e were ihere kpuchie ndị na-ebo m ebubo ụgha; ka ihere na nleda anya bụrụ ihe ga-ekpuchi ndị ahụ na-achọ imerụ m ahụ.
14 And I continually do wait with hope, And have added unto all Thy praise.
Ma mụ onwe m ga-anọgide na-enwe olileanya mgbe niile; aga m eto gị mgbe niile karịa otu m toro gị na mbụ.
15 My mouth recounteth Thy righteousness, All the day Thy salvation, For I have not known the numbers.
Ọnụ m ga-ekwu banyere ezi omume gị na nzọpụta gị ogologo ụbọchị niile, ọ bụ ezie na-amaghị m ọtụtụ ya.
16 I come in the might of the Lord Jehovah, I mention Thy righteousness — Thine only.
Aga m abịa kwusaakwa ịdị ukwu ọrụ gị niile, Onyenwe m Onyenwe anyị, aga m ekwusa ezi omume gị, e, naanị nke gị.
17 God, Thou hast taught me from my youth, And hitherto I declare Thy wonders.
O Chineke, site na mgbe m bụ nwantakịrị, i kuzielera m ihe, ruo taa, ana m ekwupụta banyere ọrụ ebube gị niile.
18 And also unto old age and grey hairs, O God, forsake me not, Till I declare Thy strength to a generation, To every one that cometh Thy might.
O Chineke m, ọ bụladị mgbe m mere agadi, mgbe isi awọ juru m isi, ahapụla m, tutu ruo mgbe m ga-ekwupụta ike gị nye ọgbọ nke na-abịa, na ịdị ike gị nye ndị niile na-abịa nʼoge dị nʼihu.
19 And Thy righteousness, O God, [is] unto the heights, Because Thou hast done great things, O God, who [is] like Thee?
O Chineke, ezi omume gị na-eru nʼeluigwe, gị onye merela ọtụtụ ihe dị ukwu. O Chineke, onye dị ka gị?
20 Because Thou hast showed me many and sad distresses, Thou turnest back — Thou revivest me, And from the depths of the earth, Thou turnest back — Thou bringest me up.
Nʼagbanyeghị na i meela ka m gabiga ọtụtụ nsogbu nke dị ilu, ị ga-atụte ndụ m ọzọ; site nʼebe dị omimi nke ụwa, ị ga-adọkpụpụta m ọzọ.
21 Thou dost increase my greatness, And Thou surroundest — Thou comfortest me,
Ị ga-eme m ka m dịrị ukwuu karịa ka m dị na mbụ. Ị ga-akasịkwa m obi ọzọ.
22 I also thank Thee with a vessel of psaltery, Thy truth, O my God, I sing to Thee with a harp, O Holy One of Israel,
O Chineke m, aga m eji ụbọ akwara too gị, nʼihi ikwesi ntụkwasị obi gị; aga m eji une bụkuo gị abụ otuto, gị Onye nsọ nke Izrel.
23 My lips cry aloud when I sing praise to Thee, And my soul that Thou hast redeemed,
Egbugbere ọnụ m ga-eti mkpu ọṅụ mgbe m na-abụku gị abụ otuto, mụ, onye ị gbapụtara.
24 My tongue also all the day uttereth Thy righteousness, Because ashamed — because confounded, Have been those seeking my evil!
Ogologo ụbọchị niile, aga m ekwupụta ọrụ ezi omume gị niile, nʼihi na ndị ahụ chọrọ imerụ m ahụ, ka e tinyere nʼọnọdụ ihere na ọgbaaghara.
