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.

David’s. A Melody. Of lovingkindness and of justice, will I sing! Unto thee, O Yahweh, will I touch the strings!

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 behave myself wisely in a blameless way, When wilt thou come in unto me? I will walk to and fro in the blamelessness 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 mine eyes, a vile thing, —The doing of them who fall away, I hate, It shall not cleave unto 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, A maker of mischief, will I not acknowledge;

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.

He that uttereth slander in secret against his friend, him, will I root out; One of lofty eyes, and of an ambitious heart, him shall I not be able to endure.

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.

Mine eyes, shall be upon the faithful of the land, That they may dwell with me, —he that walketh in a blameless way, he, shall attend me.

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

There shall not dwell in the midst of my house, One who worketh deceit, —he that speaketh falsehoods, shall not be established before mine 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.

Morning by morning, will I uproot, All the lawless ones of the land, That I may cut off, out of the city of Yahweh—All the workers of iniquity.
