Abụ Ọma 104
1 Mkpụrụobi m, too Onyenwe anyị. O Onyenwe anyị na Chineke m, ị dị ukwu nke ukwuu; ị na-eyikwasị ịma mma na ebube dịka uwe.
[I tell] myself that I should praise Yahweh. Yahweh, my God, you are very great! Like a king has on his royal robes [MET], you have honor and majesty/greatness all around you!
2 Ọ na-eji ìhè kpuchie onwe ya dịka akwa; ọ na-agbasa eluigwe dịka ụlọ ikwu
You [created/caused] light to be like your robe [MET]. You spread out the sky like [a man sets up] a tent.
3 na-atọ ntọala ụlọ elu ya nʼelu mmiri. Ọ na-eji igwe ojii emere onwe ya ụgbọ agha na-ejirikwa nku nke ifufe felie elu.
You made/put your home [in heaven], above the rain clouds in the sky, [like a man puts the] rafters of his house in place [MET]. You made/caused the clouds to be like chariots [to carry you].
4 O ji oke ifufe mere ihe na-ejere ya ozi, meekwa ka ọkụ na-enwu enwu bụrụ ndị na-ejere ya ozi.
You caused the winds to be [like] your messengers [MET], and flames of fire to be [like] your servants.
5 Ọ bụ ya tọrọ ntọala ụwa; agaghị ewezugakwa ya site nʼọnọdụ ya.
You placed the world firmly on its foundation so that it can never be moved/shaken.
6 I gbokwasịrị ogbu mmiri nʼelu ya dịka ọ bụ uwe ka i yikwasịrị ya, mmiri tokpukwara ugwu niile.
[Later], you covered the earth with a flood, like a blanket, with the water that covered the mountains.
7 Ma mgbe ị bara mba, mmiri ahụ gbapụrụ, nʼụda oke olu nke egbe eluigwe gị, ha gbapụrụ ọsọ.
[But] when you rebuked the water, the oceans receded; your voice spoke like thunder, and then the waters rushed away.
8 Ha sitere nʼelu ugwu niile, sọrọ gaa na ndagwurugwu, ruokwa nʼebe ahụ ị kpara oke na ha ga-anọ.
Mountains rose up [from the water], and the valleys sank down to the levels that you had determined for them.
9 Ị kpara oke nye ha, nke ha na-agaghị agafe, gbochie ha ikpuchi elu ụwa ọzọ.
[Then] you set a boundary for the oceans, a boundary that they cannot cross; their water will never again cover the [whole] earth.
10 Ọ na-eme ka mmiri, site nʼala na-asọpụta na ndagwurugwu, meekwa ka iyi niile site nʼetiti ugwu na-asọfe.
You make/cause springs to pour [water] into ravines; their [water] flows down between the mountains.
11 Ha na-enye anụ ọhịa niile mmiri ọṅụṅụ bụrụkwa ebe akpịrị ịkpọ nkụ nke ịnyịnya ibu ọhịa na-adajụ.
Those [streams] provide water for all the animals [to drink]; the wild donkeys [drink the water and] are no longer thirsty.
12 Nʼosisi dị nʼakụkụ ha ka ụmụ anụ ufe nke eluigwe ga-anọ wuo akwụ ha; nọrọkwa nʼalaka ha bụọ abụ.
Birds make their nests alongside [the streams], and they sing among the branches [of the trees].
13 Ọ na-esite nʼeluigwe na-ezidata mmiri ozuzo nʼelu ugwu niile; ụwa niile na-ejupụtakwa na mkpụrụ nke ọrụ aka ya.
From (your home in heaven/the sky) you send rain down on the mountains, and you fill the earth with many good things that you create.
14 Ọ na-eme ka ahịhịa puputara anụ ụlọ, na-emekwa ka ihe a kụrụ nʼala puoro mmadụ nʼubi ya, ime ka nri site nʼala pupụta;
You make/cause grass to grow for the cattle [to eat], and you make/cause plants to grow for people. In that way [animals and people] get their food from [what grows in] the soil.
15 mmanya nke na-enye obi mmadụ aṅụrị, mmanụ nke na-eme ka ihu na-egbupụ amụma, na achịcha nke na-enye ya ume nʼobi.
We get [grapes to make] [MTY] wine to [drink and] make us cheerful, and we get [olives to make] [MTY] olive oil to [put on our] skin and cause it to shine, and we get [grain to make] [MTY] bread to give us strength.
16 A na-agba osisi niile nke Onyenwe anyị mmiri nke ọma, osisi sida nke Lebanọn nke ọ kụrụ.
Yahweh, you [send plenty of rain to] water your trees, the cedar [trees] that you planted in Lebanon.
17 Ụmụ nnụnụ na-ewu akwụ ha; nʼosisi fịa ka ụgbala na-ewu akwụ ya.
Birds make their nests in those [trees]; even storks make their nests in pine/fir trees.
18 Ugwu niile dị elu dịịrị ewu ọhịa; nʼọgba dị na nkume ka ewi nkume na-ezo onwe ha.
High up in the mountains the wild goats live, and hyraxes/badgers live in the crags/crevices in the rocks.
19 I mere ọnwa ka ọ bụrụ ihe a ga-eji na-agụ oge na mgbe dị iche iche; anyanwụ makwaara mgbe ọ ga-eji daa.
[Yahweh], you made the moon to indicate the times for our festivals, and you made the sun that knows when to go down.
20 Ị na-eme ka ọchịchịrị bịa, ọ bụrụ abalị; ụmụ anụ ọhịa niile nke oke ọhịa na-akpagharị.
You bring darkness, and it becomes night, when all the animals in the forest prowl around, [looking for food].
21 Ụmụ ọdụm na-agbọ ụja ha na-elegharị anya anụ ha ga-adọgbu, ịchọrọ onwe ha ihe oriri ahụ Chineke na-enye ha.
At night the young lions roar as they seek their prey, [but] they depend on you to give them food.
22 Nʼisi ụtụtụ mgbe anwụ wara, ha na-alaghachi zoo onwe ha nʼebe nzuzo ha.
At dawn, they go back to their dens and lie down.
23 Ụmụ mmadụ na-amalitekwa ọrụ ha nʼisi ụtụtụ, kwụsịkwa nʼanyasị mgbe ọchịchịrị bidoro ịgba.
And during the daytime, people go to their work; they work until it is evening.
24 Onyenwe anyị, ọrụ aka gị dị ọtụtụ. Ọ bụ site nʼamamihe ka i ji kee ha. Elu ụwa niile jupụtara nʼihe niile i kere eke.
Yahweh, you have made so many different kinds of things! You were [very] wise as you made them all. The earth is full of the creatures that you [made].
25 Leenụ osimiri nke buru ibu saakwa mbara; jupụtara nʼihe e kere eke na-akpụ akpụ nke a na-apụghị ịgụta ọnụ bi, anụ dị ndụ ma ndị ukwu ma ndị nta.
[We see] the ocean which is very large [DOU]! It is full of many kinds of living creatures, big ones and little ones.
26 Nʼebe ahụ ka ụgbọ mmiri niile na-ejegharị, nʼime ya kwa ka leviatan, nke gị onwe gị kere, na-anọ egwuri egwu.
We see the ships which sail along! We see the huge sea monster, which you made to (splash around/play) in the sea.
27 Ha niile na-adabere na gị, ka i nye ha nri nʼotu nʼotu, mgbe oge iri nri ha ruru.
All of those creatures depend on you to give them the food that they need.
28 Ị na-enye ha nri; ha na-erikwa ya. Mgbe i meghere ọbụ aka gị nye ha nri, afọ na-eju ha nke ọma.
When you give them the food that they need, they gather it. You give them what you have in your hand, and they [eat it and] are satisfied.
29 Mgbe i zonarịrị ha ihu gị, egwu na-eju ha obi. Mgbe ị napụkwara ha ume ndụ i nyere ha, ha na-ekubi ume, nwụọ, laghachikwa nʼaja ebe ha siri pụta.
[But] if you refuse to give food to them, they become terrified. And when you cause them to stop breathing, they die; their bodies [decay and] become soil again.
30 Mgbe i zipụrụ mmụọ gị, a na-eke ha; ị na-agbanwekwa ihu elu ụwa.
When you cause newborn creatures to begin to breathe, they start to live; you give new life to all the living creatures on the earth.
31 Ka ebube Onyenwe anyị dịgide site nʼebighị ebi ruo nʼebighị ebi; ka ọrụ aka Onyenwe anyị niile wetara ya ọṅụ,
I want the glory of Yahweh to last forever. I want him to rejoice about [all] the things that he has created.
32 onye na-ele ụwa anya, ụwa amaa jijiji, onye na-emetụ ugwu niile aka, ha na-akwụ anwụrụ ọkụ.
He causes the earth to shake [just] by looking at it! By [merely] touching the mountains he makes/causes them to pour out fire and smoke!
33 Aga m abụku Onyenwe anyị abụ ogologo ụbọchị niile nke ndụ m; aga m abụku Chineke m abụ otuto oge niile m na-adị ndụ.
I will sing to Yahweh (as long as I live/throughout my entire life). I will praise my God until the day that I die.
34 Ka ntụgharị uche m niile bụrụ ihe na-atọ ya ụtọ, dịka m na-aṅụrị ọṅụ nʼime Onyenwe anyị.
I want Yahweh to be pleased by all those things that I have thought [about him], because I rejoice about [knowing] him.
35 Ka e kpochapụ ndị mmehie niile site nʼụwa. Ka ndị niile na-emebi iwu gharakwa ịdị ọzọ. Too Onyenwe anyị gị mkpụrụobi m! Toonu Onyenwe anyị!
[But] I desire that sinners will disappear from the earth, so that there will be no more wicked [people]! [But as for] me, I will praise Yahweh! (Praise him/Hallelujah)!
