Abụ Ọma 107
1 Keleenụ Onyenwe anyị, nʼihi na ọ dị mma; ịhụnanya ya na-adịgide ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
“BOOK V.” O give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; For his mercy endureth for ever!
2 Ka ndị niile Onyenwe anyị gbapụtara kwuo otu a, ndị niile ọ gbapụtara site nʼaka onye kpọrọ ha asị,
Let the redeemed of the LORD say it, Whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;
3 ndị ọ kpọlatara site nʼala niile dị iche iche, site nʼọwụwa anyanwụ na ọdịda anyanwụ, site nʼugwu na ndịda.
Whom he hath gathered from the lands, From the east, the west, the north, and the south.
4 Ụfọdụ wagharịrị nʼọzara, ala nke tọgbọrọ nʼefu, ha enweghị ike ịchọta ụzọ nke ga-eduba ha nʼobodo ebe ha ga-ebi.
They were wandering in the wilderness, in a desert, They found no way to a city to dwell in.
5 Agụụ gụrụ ha, akpịrị kpọkwara ha nkụ, olileanya gwụrụ ha nʼobi.
They were hungry and thirsty, And their souls fainted within them.
6 Mgbe ahụ, ha kpọkuru Onyenwe anyị, nʼime nsogbu ha, ọ napụtakwara ha site na mkpagbu ha niile.
Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, And he delivered them out of their distress.
7 O duuru ha nʼụzọ ziri ezi baa nʼobodo ha ga-ebi.
He led them in a straight way, Till they came to a city where they might dwell.
8 Ka ha kelee Onyenwe anyị nʼihi ịhụnanya ya nke na-adịghị agwụ agwụ na nʼihi ọrụ ebube ya niile nye ụmụ mmadụ,
O let them praise the LORD for his goodness, For his wonderful works to the children 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 satisfieth the thirsty, And the hungry he filleth with good.
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,
They dwelt in darkness and the shadow of death, Being bound in affliction and iron;
11 nʼihi na ha nupuru isi megide okwu niile nke Chineke ma lelikwaa ndụmọdụ niile nke Onye kachasị ihe niile elu.
Because they disobeyed the commands of God, And contemned the will 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.
Their hearts he brought down by hardship; They fell down, and there was none to help.
13 Mgbe ahụ, ha kpọkuru Onyenwe anyị nʼime nsogbu ha, ọ zọpụtara ha site na mkpagbu ha niile.
But they cried to the LORD in their trouble, And he saved them out of their distresses;
14 O mere ka ha site nʼọchịchịrị na oke ihe mwute nke obi pụta. O tijikwara agbụ ha niile.
He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, And brake their bands asunder.
15 Ka ha kelee Onyenwe anyị nʼihi ịhụnanya ya, nke na-adịghị agwụ agwụ na nʼihi ọrụ ebube ya niile nye ụmụ mmadụ,
O let them praise the LORD for his goodness, For his wonderful works to the children 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 hath broken the gates of brass, And cut the bars of iron asunder.
17 Ụfọdụ ghọrọ ndị nzuzu site na nnupu isi taakwa ahụhụ nʼihi njehie ha niile.
The foolish, because of their transgressions, And because of their iniquities, were afflicted;
18 Ihe oriri ọbụla ghọọrọ ha ihe rụrụ arụ ha bịakwara ọnụ ụzọ ama ọnwụ nso.
They abhorred all kinds of food; They were near to the gates of death.
19 Mgbe ahụ, ha kpọkuru Onyenwe anyị nʼime nsogbu ha ọ zọpụtara ha site na mkpagbu ahụ niile.
Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, And he delivered them out of their distresses;
20 O zipụrụ okwu ọnụ ya, gwọọ ha; ọ napụtara ha site nʼili.
He sent his word, and healed them, And saved them from their destruction.
21 Ka ha kelee Onyenwe anyị nʼihi ịhụnanya ya nke na-adịghị agwụ agwụ na nʼihi ọrụ ebube ya niile nye ụmụ mmadụ.
O let them praise the LORD for his goodness, For his wonderful works to the children of men!
22 Ka ha chụọ aja ekele nye ya jirikwa ọtụtụ abụ ọṅụ kwupụta banyere ọrụ ya niile.
Let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving, And declare his works with joy!
23 Ụfọdụ ji ụgbọ mmiri na-ejegharị nʼelu oke osimiri; ha bụ ndị na-azụ ahịa ma na-ebugharịkwa ngwa ahịa nʼelu oke osimiri.
They who go down to the sea in ships, And do business in great waters,
24 Ha hụrụ ọrụ niile nke Onyenwe anyị, ọtụtụ ọrụ ebube ya nʼogbu mmiri.
These see 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 commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, Which lifteth high the waves.
26 Ha bụ ndị e buliri nnọọ ezigbo elu, ma budatakwa ruo ogbu mmiri niile; nʼọnọdụ ihe egwu ahụ, obi lọrọ ha mmiri.
They mount up to the heavens, They sink down to the depths, Their soul melteth with 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 reel and stagger like a drunken man, And all their skill is vain.
28 Mgbe ahụ, ha kpọkuru Onyenwe anyị nʼime nsogbu ha, o mere ka ha pụta na mkpagbu ahụ niile.
Then they cry to the LORD in their trouble, And he saveth them out of their distresses;
29 O mere ka oke ifufe dere duu; o mekwara ka ebili mmiri nke oke osimiri dajụọ.
He turneth the storm into a calm, And the waves are hushed;
30 Ha ṅụrịrị ọṅụ mgbe ọ dajụrụ, o duuru ha ruo ebe ha na-aga nʼudo.
Then they rejoice that they are still, And he bringeth them to their desired haven.
31 Ka ha kelee Onyenwe anyị nʼihi ịhụnanya ya nke na-adịghị agwụ agwụ na nʼihi ọrụ ebube ya niile nye ụmụ mmadụ.
O let them praise the LORD for his goodness. For his wonderful works to the children of men!
32 Ka ha bulie ya elu nʼetiti ọgbakọ ukwu ụmụ mmadụ ma tookwa ya na nzukọ ndị okenye.
Let them extol him in the congregation of the people, And praise him in the assembly of the elders!
33 Ọ na-eme ka iyi ghọọ ọzara; na-emekwa ka ebe mmiri si asọpụta ghọọ ala kpọrọ nkụ.
He turneth rivers into a desert, And springs of water into dry ground;
34 Ọ na-eme ka ala na-amị mkpụrụ hiri nne ghọọ ọzara, nʼihi ajọ omume nke ndị bi nʼime ya.
A fruitful land into barrenness, For the wickedness of them that dwell therein.
35 Ọ na-eme ka ọzara ghọọ ala nke ọdọ mmiri jupụtara mee ka ala akọrọ ghọọ isi iyi nke na-asọ asọ;
He turneth the desert into a lake of water, And dry ground into springs 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 there he causeth the hungry to dwell, And they build a city for a dwelling-place,
37 Ha ghara mkpụrụ nʼubi ha dị iche iche, kụọkwa ọtụtụ ubi vaịnị ndị mịrị mkpụrụ dị ukwuu;
And sow fields and plant vineyards, Which yield a fruitful increase.
38 ọ gọziri ha, ọnụọgụgụ ha bakwara ụba, o mekwara ka anụ ụlọ ha mụbaa.
He blesseth them, so that they multiply greatly, And suffereth not their cattle to decrease.
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;
When they are diminished and brought low By oppression, affliction, and sorrow,
40 onye ahụ na-eleda ndị na-achị achị anya mere ka ha wagharịa nʼọzara, ebe ụzọ na-adịghị.
He poureth contempt upon princes, And causeth them to wander in a pathless wilderness;
41 Ma ọ na-anapụta ndị mkpa na-akpa site na nhụju anya ha, mee ka ezinaụlọ ha mụbaa dịka igwe anụ ụlọ.
But he raiseth the poor from their affliction, And increaseth their families like a flock.
42 Ndị ezi omume na-ahụ ya na-aṅụrị ọṅụ, ma ndị ajọ omume na-emechi ọnụ ha nọọ duu.
The righteous see it and rejoice, And all iniquity shutteth her mouth.
43 Onye ọbụla maara ihe ga-echezi echiche banyere ihe ndị a, ma tuleekwa ọrụ ịhụnanya Onyenwe anyị nke dị ukwuu.
Whoso is wise, let him observe this, And have regard to the loving-kindness of the LORD!
