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 IS FEEBLE, AND POURS OUT HIS COMPLAINT BEFORE YHWH. O YHWH, hear my prayer, indeed, my cry comes to You.
2 Ezonarịla m ihu gị nʼụbọchị nsogbu m. Gee ntị nʼekpere m, zakwaa m ngwangwa.
Do not hide Your face from me, In a day of my adversity, Incline Your ear to me, In the day I call, hurry, answer me.
3 Nʼihi na ụbọchị m niile na-agabiga, dịka anwụrụ ọkụ; ọkpụkpụ m niile dịkwa ka ọlọkọ ọkụ.
For my days have been consumed in smoke, And my bones have burned as a firebrand.
4 Mkpụrụobi m etiwaala abụọ na-achanwụkwa dịka ahịhịa; ana m echefu iri nri m.
Struck as the herb, and withered, is my heart, For I have forgotten to eat my bread.
5 Nʼihi oke ịsụ ude m na-asụ, enwekwaghị m anụ ahụ ọbụla nʼahụ m. Abụ m naanị ọkpụkpụ.
From the voice of my sighing My bone has cleaved to my flesh.
6 Adị m ka ikwighịkwighị nke ọzara, a dị m ka ikwighịkwighị nʼetiti ebe dakpọsịrị adakpọsị.
I have been like to a pelican of the wilderness, I have been as an owl of the dry places.
7 Ana m amụ anya abalị niile; adị m ka nwa nnụnụ naanị ya bekwasịrị nʼelu ụlọ.
I have watched, and I am As a bird alone on the roof.
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.
All the day my enemies reproached me, Those mad at me have sworn against me.
9 Nʼihi na ejirila m ntụ mere ihe oriri m, anya mmiri m na-agwakọta nʼiko ihe ọṅụṅụ m
Because I have eaten ashes as bread, And have mingled my drink with weeping,
10 nʼihi oke iwe gị, i bulitela m, ma tụpụ m nʼakụkụ.
From Your indignation and Your wrath, For You have lifted me up, And cast me down.
11 Ụbọchị m niile dịka onyinyo nke a na-ahụ anya mgbe anwụ na-ada. Ana m akpọnwụ akpọnwụ, dịka ahịhịa.
My days [are] stretched out as a shadow, And I am withered as the herb.
12 Ma gị Onyenwe anyị, na-anọgide nʼocheeze gị ruo mgbe ebighị ebi; aha gị ga-adịgide site nʼọgbọ ruo nʼọgbọ.
And You, O YHWH, abide for all time, And Your memorial from generation to generation.
13 Ị ga-ebili nwee ọmịiko nʼebe Zayọn nọ, nʼihi na oge izi ya ihuọma eruola; oge ahụ a kara aka eruola.
You rise—You pity Zion, For the time to favor her, For the appointed time has 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 Your servants have been pleased with her stones, And they favor her dust.
15 Mba niile ga-atụ egwu aha Onyenwe anyị, ndị eze niile nke ụwa ga-asọpụrụkwa ebube gị.
And nations fear the Name of YHWH, And all kings of the earth Your glory,
16 Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị ga-ewugharị Zayọn, ọ ga-apụta ihe nʼebube ya.
For YHWH has built Zion, He has been seen in His glory,
17 Ọ ga-aza ekpere ndị nọ na mkpa; ọ gaghị eleda arịrịọ ha anya.
He turned to the prayer of the destitute, And He has 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 is written for a later generation, And the people created praise YAH.
19 “Onyenwe anyị sitere nʼebe nsọ ya dị elu ledata anya, o sitere nʼeluigwe ledata anya ya nʼụwa,
For He has looked From the high place of His sanctuary. YHWH looked attentively from the heavens to earth,
20 ịnụ ịsụ ude nke ndị a tụrụ mkpọrọ na ịgbapụta ndị a mara ikpe ọnwụ.”
To hear the groan of the prisoner, To loose sons of death,
21 Nʼihi nke a, a ga-ekwuwapụta aha Onyenwe anyị na Zayọn; a ga-eto ya na Jerusalem,
To declare in Zion the Name of YHWH, And His praise in Jerusalem,
22 mgbe mba niile na alaeze niile, ga-ezukọta nʼotu ebe, ife Onyenwe anyị ofufe.
In the peoples being gathered together, And the kingdoms—to serve YHWH.
23 O meela ka ike gwụ m nʼoge ndụ m; o meela ka ndụ m dịrị mkpụmkpụ.
He has humbled my power in the way, He has 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, “My God, do not take me up in the midst of my days,” Your years [are] through all generations.
25 Na mmalite, ị tọrọ ntọala ụwa, eluigwe bụkwa ọrụ aka gị.
You founded the earth before time, And the heavens [are] the work of Your 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 perish, and You remain, And all of them become old as a garment, You change them as clothing, And they are changed.
27 Ma gị onwe gị enweghị mgbanwe, ọnụọgụgụ afọ gị adịghị agwụkwa agwụ.
And You [are] the same, and Your years are not finished.
28 Ụmụ ndị ohu gị ga-ebigide; ụmụ ụmụ ha ga-eguzosie ike nʼihu gị.”
The sons of Your servants continue, And their seed is established before You!
