Abụ Ọma 107
1 Keleenụ Onyenwe anyị, nʼihi na ọ dị mma; ịhụnanya ya na-adịgide ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
Alleluia. Confess to the Lord, for he is good, for his mercy is with every generation.
2 Ka ndị niile Onyenwe anyị gbapụtara kwuo otu a, ndị niile ọ gbapụtara site nʼaka onye kpọrọ ha asị,
Let those who have been redeemed by the Lord say so: those whom he redeemed from the hand of the enemy and gathered from the regions,
3 ndị ọ kpọlatara site nʼala niile dị iche iche, site nʼọwụwa anyanwụ na ọdịda anyanwụ, site nʼugwu na ndịda.
from the rising of the sun and its setting, from the north and from the sea.
4 Ụfọdụ wagharịrị nʼọzara, ala nke tọgbọrọ nʼefu, ha enweghị ike ịchọta ụzọ nke ga-eduba ha nʼobodo ebe ha ga-ebi.
They wandered into solitude in a waterless place. They did not find the way of the city to be their dwelling place.
5 Agụụ gụrụ ha, akpịrị kpọkwara ha nkụ, olileanya gwụrụ ha nʼobi.
They were hungry, and they were thirsty. Their soul fainted within them.
6 Mgbe ahụ, ha kpọkuru Onyenwe anyị, nʼime nsogbu ha, ọ napụtakwara ha site na mkpagbu ha niile.
And they cried out to the Lord in tribulation, and he rescued them in their necessity.
7 O duuru ha nʼụzọ ziri ezi baa nʼobodo ha ga-ebi.
And he led them in the right way, so that they might go forth to a city of habitation.
8 Ka ha kelee Onyenwe anyị nʼihi ịhụnanya ya nke na-adịghị agwụ agwụ na nʼihi ọrụ ebube ya niile nye ụmụ mmadụ,
Let his mercies confess to the Lord, and let his miracles confess to the sons of men.
9 nʼihi na o jirila ọtụtụ ezi ihe nyejuo ndị agụụ na-agụ afọ meekwa ka onye akpịrị na-akpọ nkụ ṅụjuo afọ.
For he has satisfied the empty soul, and he has satisfied the hungry soul with good things:
10 Ụfọdụ nọdụrụ ala nʼọchịchịrị na nʼọnọdụ oke ihe mwute nke obi, ndị nọ nʼụlọ mkpọrọ na-ata ahụhụ ndị e ji mkpọrọ igwe kee ha agbụ,
those sitting in darkness and in the shadow of death, shackled by extreme poverty and by iron.
11 nʼihi na ha nupuru isi megide okwu niile nke Chineke ma lelikwaa ndụmọdụ niile nke Onye kachasị ihe niile elu.
For they exasperated the eloquence of God, and they irritated the deliberation of the Most High.
12 Nʼihi ya, Chineke mere ka ha hụjuo anya site nʼịdọgbu onwe ha nʼọrụ, ha sụrụ ngọngọ daa, ma ọ dịghị onye ọbụla nyeere ha aka ibilite ọtọ.
And their heart was brought low with hardships. They were weakened, and there was no one to help them.
13 Mgbe ahụ, ha kpọkuru Onyenwe anyị nʼime nsogbu ha, ọ zọpụtara ha site na mkpagbu ha niile.
And they cried out to the Lord in their tribulation, and he freed them from their distress.
14 O mere ka ha site nʼọchịchịrị na oke ihe mwute nke obi pụta. O tijikwara agbụ ha niile.
And he led them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and he broke apart their chains.
15 Ka ha kelee Onyenwe anyị nʼihi ịhụnanya ya, nke na-adịghị agwụ agwụ na nʼihi ọrụ ebube ya niile nye ụmụ mmadụ,
Let his mercies confess to the Lord, and let his miracles confess to the sons of men.
16 nʼihi na o tijisiela ọnụ ụzọ ama niile e ji bronz kpụọ gbujiekwa mkpọrọ ịkpọchi ụzọ niile e ji igwe kpụọ.
For he has crushed the gates of brass and broken the iron bars.
17 Ụfọdụ ghọrọ ndị nzuzu site na nnupu isi taakwa ahụhụ nʼihi njehie ha niile.
He has taken them up, from the way of their iniquity. For they were brought low, because of their injustices.
18 Ihe oriri ọbụla ghọọrọ ha ihe rụrụ arụ ha bịakwara ọnụ ụzọ ama ọnwụ nso.
Their soul abhorred all food, and they drew near even to the gates of death.
19 Mgbe ahụ, ha kpọkuru Onyenwe anyị nʼime nsogbu ha ọ zọpụtara ha site na mkpagbu ahụ niile.
And they cried out to the Lord in their tribulation, and he delivered them in their necessity.
20 O zipụrụ okwu ọnụ ya, gwọọ ha; ọ napụtara ha site nʼili.
He sent his word, and he healed them, and he rescued them from their utter destruction.
21 Ka ha kelee Onyenwe anyị nʼihi ịhụnanya ya nke na-adịghị agwụ agwụ na nʼihi ọrụ ebube ya niile nye ụmụ mmadụ.
Let his mercies confess to the Lord, and let his miracles confess to the sons of men.
22 Ka ha chụọ aja ekele nye ya jirikwa ọtụtụ abụ ọṅụ kwupụta banyere ọrụ ya niile.
And let them offer sacrifice with the sacrifice of praise, and let them announce his works in exultation.
23 Ụfọdụ ji ụgbọ mmiri na-ejegharị nʼelu oke osimiri; ha bụ ndị na-azụ ahịa ma na-ebugharịkwa ngwa ahịa nʼelu oke osimiri.
Those who descend to the sea in ships, making their livelihood in the great waters:
24 Ha hụrụ ọrụ niile nke Onyenwe anyị, ọtụtụ ọrụ ebube ya nʼogbu mmiri.
these have seen the works of the Lord and his wonders in the deep.
25 Nʼihi na o kwuru okwu mere ka oke ifufe kuo nke buliri ebili mmiri elu.
He spoke: and a windstorm stood up, and its waves were exalted.
26 Ha bụ ndị e buliri nnọọ ezigbo elu, ma budatakwa ruo ogbu mmiri niile; nʼọnọdụ ihe egwu ahụ, obi lọrọ ha mmiri.
They ascend even to the heavens, and they descend even to the abyss. Their soul will waste away in distress.
27 Ha na-adagharị, na-aṅagharịkwa dịka ndị ṅụbigara mmanya oke. Mmụta ha banyere ịnya ụgbọ mmiri adịghị enyekwara ha aka nʼoge dị otu a.
They were troubled, and they moved like a drunkard, and all their wisdom was consumed.
28 Mgbe ahụ, ha kpọkuru Onyenwe anyị nʼime nsogbu ha, o mere ka ha pụta na mkpagbu ahụ niile.
And they cried out to the Lord in their tribulation, and he led them out of their distress.
29 O mere ka oke ifufe dere duu; o mekwara ka ebili mmiri nke oke osimiri dajụọ.
And he replaced the storm with a breeze, and its waves were stilled.
30 Ha ṅụrịrị ọṅụ mgbe ọ dajụrụ, o duuru ha ruo ebe ha na-aga nʼudo.
And they were joyful that it was stilled, and he led them into the haven that they desired.
31 Ka ha kelee Onyenwe anyị nʼihi ịhụnanya ya nke na-adịghị agwụ agwụ na nʼihi ọrụ ebube ya niile nye ụmụ mmadụ.
Let his mercies confess to the Lord, and let his miracles confess to the sons of men.
32 Ka ha bulie ya elu nʼetiti ọgbakọ ukwu ụmụ mmadụ ma tookwa ya na nzukọ ndị okenye.
And let them exalt him in the Church of the people, and praise him in the chair of the elders.
33 Ọ na-eme ka iyi ghọọ ọzara; na-emekwa ka ebe mmiri si asọpụta ghọọ ala kpọrọ nkụ.
He has placed rivers in the desert and sources of water in dry places,
34 Ọ na-eme ka ala na-amị mkpụrụ hiri nne ghọọ ọzara, nʼihi ajọ omume nke ndị bi nʼime ya.
a fruit-bearing land in the midst of brine, before the malice of those who dwell in it.
35 Ọ na-eme ka ọzara ghọọ ala nke ọdọ mmiri jupụtara mee ka ala akọrọ ghọọ isi iyi nke na-asọ asọ;
He has placed a desert in the midst of pools of waters, and a land without water in the midst of sources of water.
36 ebe ahụ ka ọ kpọbatara ndị agụụ na-agụ ka ha biri, ebe ahụ ka ha wuru obodo ebe ha ga-ebi.
And he has gathered the hungry together there, and they constructed a city of habitation.
37 Ha ghara mkpụrụ nʼubi ha dị iche iche, kụọkwa ọtụtụ ubi vaịnị ndị mịrị mkpụrụ dị ukwuu;
And they sowed fields and planted vineyards, and they produced the fruit of nativity.
38 ọ gọziri ha, ọnụọgụgụ ha bakwara ụba, o mekwara ka anụ ụlọ ha mụbaa.
And he blessed them, and they were multiplied exceedingly. And he did not diminish their beasts of burden.
39 Mgbe ahụ, ọnụọgụgụ ha adịghịkwa ka ọ dị na mbụ, ha bụ ndị e ji mkpagbu na ihe ndakwasị na iru ụjụ wedata nʼala;
And they became few, and they were afflicted by the tribulation of evils and of sorrow.
40 onye ahụ na-eleda ndị na-achị achị anya mere ka ha wagharịa nʼọzara, ebe ụzọ na-adịghị.
Contempt was poured over their leaders, and he caused them to wander in an impassable place, and not on the way.
41 Ma ọ na-anapụta ndị mkpa na-akpa site na nhụju anya ha, mee ka ezinaụlọ ha mụbaa dịka igwe anụ ụlọ.
And he helped the poor out of destitution, and he stationed families like sheep.
42 Ndị ezi omume na-ahụ ya na-aṅụrị ọṅụ, ma ndị ajọ omume na-emechi ọnụ ha nọọ duu.
The upright will see, and they will rejoice. And every iniquity will block its mouth.
43 Onye ọbụla maara ihe ga-echezi echiche banyere ihe ndị a, ma tuleekwa ọrụ ịhụnanya Onyenwe anyị nke dị ukwuu.
Who is wise and will keep these things? And who will understand the mercies of the Lord?
