Abụ Ọma 101

1 Abụ Ọma Devid. Aga m abụ abụ banyere ịhụnanya gị na ikpe gị ziri ezi; o Onyenwe anyị, ọ bụ gị ka m ga-abụku abụ otuto.

A psalm of David. I will sing of your faithful love and good judgment. I will sing praises to you, Lord.

2 Aga m enwe uche ị hụ na m biri ndụ na-enweghị ịta ụta ọbụla, olee mgbe ị ga-abịakwute m? Aga m ejikwa obi nke a na-agaghị ata ụta ọbụla jegharịa nʼime ụlọ m.

I will make sure my life is blameless. When will you come and help me? My life will be one of integrity even in private.

3 Agaghị m edo ihe jọgburu onwe ya nʼihu m. Ana m akpọ ọrụ ndị na-ekwesighị ntụkwasị obi asị. Agaghị m enwekwa oke nʼime ya.

I will not look at anything evil. I hate doing wrong—I won't have anything to do with it.

4 Ndị obi ha gbagọrọ agbagọ agaghị anọ m nso. Agakwaghị m etinye aka nʼọrụ ọjọọ ọbụla.

I won't think bad thoughts—I won't even consider anything evil.

5 Onye ọbụla na-ekwulu onye agbataobi ya na nzuzo, onye ahụ ka m ga-emechi ọnụ; agaghị m anabata onye ọbụla dị mpako ma nwee obi nganga.

I will silence anyone who secretly slanders their neighbor. I won't tolerate anyone who is proud and arrogant.

6 Aga m elekwasị ndị kwesiri ntụkwasị obi nʼala a anya, ka mụ na ha biri; onye ahụ na-eje ije na-enweghị ịta ụta ọbụla ga-ejere m ozi.

I look for faithful people to live with me; only those who are trustworthy will serve me.

7 Onye ọbụla na-aghọ aghụghọ agaghị ebi nʼụlọ m; onye ọbụla na-ekwu okwu ụgha agaghị eguzokwa nʼihu m.

No one who is dishonest will live in my house; no liars will be allowed in my presence.

8 Ụtụtụ niile ka m na-eme ka ha dere duu bụ ndị ajọ omume niile nọ nʼala a; Aga m ebipụ ndị niile na-eme ajọ ihe site nʼobodo Onyenwe anyị.

I work every day to silence the wicked in the land, to rid the city of the Lord of all who do evil.
