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.

“By David, a psalm.” Of kindness and justice will I sing: unto thee, O Lord, will I sing praises.

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 carefully regard the way of the perfect: oh when will thou come unto me? I will walk in the integrity of my heart in the midst of my house.

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 set before my eyes a godless thing; to commit a departure [from righteousness] do I hate; it shall not cleave to me.

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

A perverse heart shall depart from me: evil will I not know.

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.

Whoso slandereth in secret his neighbor, him will I destroy: whoso hath proud eyes and a haughty heart, him will I not suffer.

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.

My eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may abide with me: he that walketh in the way of the perfect, he it is that shall serve me.

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

He that practiseth deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that speaketh falsehoods shall not succeed before my eyes.

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.

Every morning will I destroy all the wicked of the land, cutting off from the city of the Lord all the wrong-doers.
