Abụ Ọma 107
1 Keleenụ Onyenwe anyị, nʼihi na ọ dị mma; ịhụnanya ya na-adịgide ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
O GIVE thanks unto 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 so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the adversary;
3 ndị ọ kpọlatara site nʼala niile dị iche iche, site nʼọwụwa anyanwụ na ọdịda anyanwụ, site nʼugwu na ndịda.
And gathered them out of the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from 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 wandered in the wilderness in a desert way; they found no city of habitation.
5 Agụụ gụrụ ha, akpịrị kpọkwara ha nkụ, olileanya gwụrụ ha nʼobi.
Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.
6 Mgbe ahụ, ha kpọkuru Onyenwe anyị, nʼime nsogbu ha, ọ napụtakwara ha site na mkpagbu ha niile.
Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.
7 O duuru ha nʼụzọ ziri ezi baa nʼobodo ha ga-ebi.
He led them also by a straight way, that they might go 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,
Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and 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 longing soul, and the hungry soul 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,
Such as sat in darkness and in 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 rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel 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.
Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; 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.
Then they cried unto the LORD hi 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 in sunder.
15 Ka ha kelee Onyenwe anyị nʼihi ịhụnanya ya, nke na-adịghị agwụ agwụ na nʼihi ọrụ ebube ya niile nye ụmụ mmadụ,
Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and 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 in sunder.
17 Ụfọdụ ghọrọ ndị nzuzu site na nnupu isi taakwa ahụhụ nʼihi njehie ha niile.
Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.
18 Ihe oriri ọbụla ghọọrọ ha ihe rụrụ arụ ha bịakwara ọnụ ụzọ ama ọnwụ nso.
Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death.
19 Mgbe ahụ, ha kpọkuru Onyenwe anyị nʼime nsogbu ha ọ zọpụtara ha site na mkpagbu ahụ niile.
Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses.
20 O zipụrụ okwu ọnụ ya, gwọọ ha; ọ napụtara ha site nʼili.
He sendeth his word, and healeth them, and delivereth [them] from their destructions.
21 Ka ha kelee Onyenwe anyị nʼihi ịhụnanya ya nke na-adịghị agwụ agwụ na nʼihi ọrụ ebube ya niile nye ụmụ mmadụ.
Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and 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.
And let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with singing.
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 that go down to the sea in ships, that 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.
For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof.
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 heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul melteth away because of trouble.
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 to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits’ end.
28 Mgbe ahụ, ha kpọkuru Onyenwe anyị nʼime nsogbu ha, o mere ka ha pụta na mkpagbu ahụ niile.
Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses.
29 O mere ka oke ifufe dere duu; o mekwara ka ebili mmiri nke oke osimiri dajụọ.
He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.
30 Ha ṅụrịrị ọṅụ mgbe ọ dajụrụ, o duuru ha ruo ebe ha na-aga nʼudo.
Then are they glad because they be quiet: so he bringeth them unto the haven where they would be.
31 Ka ha kelee Onyenwe anyị nʼihi ịhụnanya ya nke na-adịghị agwụ agwụ na nʼihi ọrụ ebube ya niile nye ụmụ mmadụ.
Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and 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 exalt him also in the assembly of the people, and praise him in the seat 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 wilderness, and watersprings into a thirsty 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 a salt desert, 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 a wilderness into a pool of water, and a dry land into watersprings.
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 maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city of habitation;
37 Ha ghara mkpụrụ nʼubi ha dị iche iche, kụọkwa ọtụtụ ubi vaịnị ndị mịrị mkpụrụ dị ukwuu;
And sow fields, and plant vineyards, and get them fruits of increase.
38 ọ gọziri ha, ọnụọgụgụ ha bakwara ụba, o mekwara ka anụ ụlọ ha mụbaa.
He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and he 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;
Again, they are minished and bowed down through oppression, trouble, 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 the waste, where there is no way.
41 Ma ọ na-anapụta ndị mkpa na-akpa site na nhụju anya ha, mee ka ezinaụlọ ha mụbaa dịka igwe anụ ụlọ.
Yet setteth he the needy on high from affliction, and maketh [him] 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 upright shall see it, and be glad; and all iniquity shall stop 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 shall give heed to these things, and they shall consider the mercies of the LORD.
