Abụ Ọma 108

1 Abụ, Abụ Ọma Devid. Obi m dị njikere, o Chineke; aga m eji mkpụrụobi m niile bụọ abụ ma kụkwaa egwu.

“A song or psalm of David.” My heart is firm, O God; I will sing and give praise, even with my spirit.

2 Teta! Ụbọ akwara na une! Aga m akpọte chi ọbụbọ.

Awake, psaltery and harp: I will wake up the morning-dawn.

3 Aga m eto gị, O Onyenwe anyị, nʼetiti mba niile; aga m abụ abụ banyere gị nʼetiti ndị niile dị iche iche.

I will give thee thanks among the people, O Lord: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.

4 Nʼihi na ịhụnanya gị dị ukwuu karịa eluigwe; ikwesi ntụkwasị obi gị na-erukwa mbara eluigwe.

For great above the heavens is thy kindness, and thy truth reacheth even unto the skies.

5 Ka e bulie gị elu, o Chineke, karịa eluigwe niile, ka ebube gị dị nʼelu ụwa niile.

Exalt thyself above the heavens, O God; and above all the earth thy glory.

6 Were aka nri gị zọpụta anyị ma nyere anyị aka, ka a gbapụta ndị ị hụrụ nʼanya.

In order that thy beloved may be delivered: help with thy right hand, and answer me.

7 Chineke esitela nʼịdị nsọ ya kwuo, sị, “Nʼọnọdụ ọṅụ nke mmeri, aga m ekesa Shekem, tụkwaa Ndagwurugwu Sukọt nʼihe ọtụtụ, nyepụ ya.

God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult, I will divide Shechem, and the valley of Succoth will I measure out.

8 Gilead bụ nke m, Manase bụkwa nke m; Ifrem bụ okpu igwe m, Juda bụ mkpara eze m.

Mine id Gil'ad, and mine is Menasseh; Ephraim also is the strong-hold of my head; of Judah are my chiefs.

9 Moab bụ efere ịkwọ aka m, aga m atụsa akpụkpọụkwụ m nʼelu Edọm nʼelu isi Filistia, ana m eti mkpu mmeri.”

Moab is my washpot; upon Edom will I cast my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.

10 Onye ga-akpọrọ m gaa nʼobodo e wusiri ike? Onye ga-edu m gaa Edọm?

Who will bring me into the fortified city? who will lead me as far as Edom?

11 Ọ bụghị gị, o Chineke? Gị onye jụrụ anyị, onye na-adịghị esokwa ndị agha anyị aga agha?

Behold, it is thou, O God, who hast cast us off; and thou, O God, goest not forth with our armies.

12 Nyere anyị aka ka anyị pụọ nʼaka ndị iro, nʼihi na inyeaka mmadụ bụ ihe efu.

Give us help against the assailant; for vain is the help of man.

13 Site na Chineke, anyị ga-enwe mmeri, ọ ga-azọpịa ndị iro anyị niile nʼala.

Through God shall we do valiantly; for he it is that will tread down our adversaries.
