Abụ Ọma 102
1 Ekpere nke onye nọ na mmekpa ahụ na ọnọdụ ịda mba, na-ekwupụta otu o si dịrị ya nʼihu Onyenwe anyị. Nụrụ ekpere m, O Onyenwe anyị; ka ịkwa akwa m maka inyeaka ruo gị ntị.
A Prayer of the afflicted, when he fainteth, and poureth out his complaint before the LORD. O LORD, hear my prayer, and let my cry come unto Thee.
2 Ezonarịla m ihu gị nʼụbọchị nsogbu m. Gee ntị nʼekpere m, zakwaa m ngwangwa.
Hide not Thy face from me in the day of my distress; incline Thine ear unto me; in the day when I call answer me speedily.
3 Nʼihi na ụbọchị m niile na-agabiga, dịka anwụrụ ọkụ; ọkpụkpụ m niile dịkwa ka ọlọkọ ọkụ.
For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as a hearth.
4 Mkpụrụobi m etiwaala abụọ na-achanwụkwa dịka ahịhịa; ana m echefu iri nri m.
My heart is smitten like grass, and withered; for I forget to eat my bread.
5 Nʼihi oke ịsụ ude m na-asụ, enwekwaghị m anụ ahụ ọbụla nʼahụ m. Abụ m naanị ọkpụkpụ.
By reason of the voice of my sighing my bones cleave to my flesh.
6 Adị m ka ikwighịkwighị nke ọzara, a dị m ka ikwighịkwighị nʼetiti ebe dakpọsịrị adakpọsị.
I am like a pelican of the wilderness; I am become as an owl of the waste places.
7 Ana m amụ anya abalị niile; adị m ka nwa nnụnụ naanị ya bekwasịrị nʼelu ụlọ.
I watch, and am become like a sparrow that is alone upon the housetop.
8 Ụbọchị niile, ndị iro m na-eji m eme ihe ọchị; ndị na-akwa m emo na-eji aha m mere ihe ịbụ ọnụ.
Mine enemies taunt me all the day; they that are mad against me do curse by me.
9 Nʼihi na ejirila m ntụ mere ihe oriri m, anya mmiri m na-agwakọta nʼiko ihe ọṅụṅụ m
For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping,
10 nʼihi oke iwe gị, i bulitela m, ma tụpụ m nʼakụkụ.
Because of Thine indignation and Thy wrath; for Thou hast taken me up, and cast me away.
11 Ụbọchị m niile dịka onyinyo nke a na-ahụ anya mgbe anwụ na-ada. Ana m akpọnwụ akpọnwụ, dịka ahịhịa.
My days are like a lengthening shadow; and I am withered like grass.
12 Ma gị Onyenwe anyị, na-anọgide nʼocheeze gị ruo mgbe ebighị ebi; aha gị ga-adịgide site nʼọgbọ ruo nʼọgbọ.
But Thou, O LORD, sittest enthroned for ever; and Thy name is unto all generations.
13 Ị ga-ebili nwee ọmịiko nʼebe Zayọn nọ, nʼihi na oge izi ya ihuọma eruola; oge ahụ a kara aka eruola.
Thou wilt arise, and have compassion upon Zion; for it is time to be gracious unto her, for the appointed time is come.
14 Nʼihi na nkume ya niile dị oke ọnụahịa nye ndị ohu gị; mgbe ha hụrụ uzuzu ya, ha na-emere ya ebere.
For Thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and love her dust.
15 Mba niile ga-atụ egwu aha Onyenwe anyị, ndị eze niile nke ụwa ga-asọpụrụkwa ebube gị.
So the nations will fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth Thy glory;
16 Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị ga-ewugharị Zayọn, ọ ga-apụta ihe nʼebube ya.
When the LORD hath built up Zion, when He hath appeared in His glory;
17 Ọ ga-aza ekpere ndị nọ na mkpa; ọ gaghị eleda arịrịọ ha anya.
When He hath regarded the prayer of the destitute, and hath not despised their prayer.
18 Ka e depụta ihe ndị a maka ọgbọ nke dị nʼihu, ka ndị a na-amụbeghị nwee ike too Onyenwe anyị:
This shall be written for the generation to come; and a people which shall be created shall praise the LORD.
19 “Onyenwe anyị sitere nʼebe nsọ ya dị elu ledata anya, o sitere nʼeluigwe ledata anya ya nʼụwa,
For He hath looked down from the height of His sanctuary; from heaven did the LORD behold the earth;
20 ịnụ ịsụ ude nke ndị a tụrụ mkpọrọ na ịgbapụta ndị a mara ikpe ọnwụ.”
To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death;
21 Nʼihi nke a, a ga-ekwuwapụta aha Onyenwe anyị na Zayọn; a ga-eto ya na Jerusalem,
That men may tell of the name of the LORD in Zion, and His praise in Jerusalem;
22 mgbe mba niile na alaeze niile, ga-ezukọta nʼotu ebe, ife Onyenwe anyị ofufe.
When the peoples are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the LORD.
23 O meela ka ike gwụ m nʼoge ndụ m; o meela ka ndụ m dịrị mkpụmkpụ.
He weakened my strength in the way; He shortened my days.
24 Nʼihi ya, ekwuru m sị, “Anapụla m ndụ m, o Chineke m, ugbu a m ka dị ndụ; ị na-adịgide ndụ site nʼọgbọ ruo nʼọgbọ.
I say: 'O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days, Thou whose years endure throughout all generations.
25 Na mmalite, ị tọrọ ntọala ụwa, eluigwe bụkwa ọrụ aka gị.
Of old Thou didst lay the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the work of Thy hands.
26 Ha ga-ala nʼiyi, ma ị ga-adịgide; ha ga-erichasị dịka akwa ochie. Ị ga-agbanwe ha dịka mmadụ si agbanwe uwe ya, ha ga-abụ ndị ewezugara ewezuga.
They shall perish, but Thou shalt endure; yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt Thou change them, and they shall pass away;
27 Ma gị onwe gị enweghị mgbanwe, ọnụọgụgụ afọ gị adịghị agwụkwa agwụ.
But Thou art the selfsame, and Thy years shall have no end.
28 Ụmụ ndị ohu gị ga-ebigide; ụmụ ụmụ ha ga-eguzosie ike nʼihu gị.”
The children of Thy servants shall dwell securely, and their seed shall be established before Thee.'
