Abụ Ọma 109

1 Abụ Ọma nke dịrị onyeisi Abụ. Abụ Ọma Devid. O Chineke, onye m na-eto, anọgidekwala na-agba nkịtị,

To the chief Musician. Of David. A Psalm. O God of my praise, be not silent:

2 nʼihi na ndị ajọ omume na ndị aghụghọ emegheela ọnụ ha megide m; ha aghaala ụgha megide m.

For the mouth of the wicked [man] and the mouth of deceit are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue,

3 Ha na-eji okwu ịkpọ asị gbaa m gburugburu; na-ebuso m agha nʼefu.

And with words of hatred have they encompassed me; and they fight against me without a cause.

4 Nʼọnọdụ ịhụnanya m hụrụ ha, ha na-ebo m ebubo ma abụ m nwoke onye ekpere.

For my love they are mine adversaries; but I [give myself unto] prayer.

5 Ha ji ihe ọjọọ na-akwụ m ụgwọ ihe ọma m mere, ịkpọ asị nʼọnọdụ ịhụnanya.

And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.

6 Họpụta otu onye ajọ omume ka o guzogide ya; ka onye na-ebo ebubo ụgha guzokwa nʼaka nri ya.

Set a wicked [man] over him, and let [the] adversary stand at his right hand;

7 Mgbe a ga-ekpe ya ikpe, ka ọ bụrụ onye ikpe mara, ka ekpere ya maa ya ikpe ọnwụ.

When he shall be judged, let him go out guilty, and let his prayer become sin;

8 Ka ụbọchị ndụ ya dị ole na ole, ka onye ọzọ nara ya ọkwa ya.

Let his days be few, let another take his office;

9 Ka ụmụ ya ghọọ ndị na-enweghị nna, ka nwunye ya bụrụ nwanyị na-enweghị di.

Let his sons be fatherless, and his wife a widow;

10 Ka ụmụ ya ghọọ ndị arịrịọ na-enweghị ebe obibi, ndị e si na mkpọmkpọ ebe ha bi chụpụ.

Let his sons be vagabonds and beg, and let them seek [their bread] far from their desolate places;

11 Ka ndị o ji ụgwọ kwakọrọ ihe niile o nwere, ka ndị ọbịa baa bukọrọ ihe niile ọ rụpụtaara onwe ya.

Let the usurer cast the net over all that he hath, and let strangers despoil his labour;

12 Ka onye ọbụla ghara igosi ya obiọma; ka onye ọbụla gharakwa imere ụmụ ya ndị ọ hapụrụ ebere.

Let there be none to extend kindness unto him, neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children;

13 Kama ka ụmụ ụmụ ya niile nwụsịa, ka a ehichapụkwa aha ha nʼọgbọ nke na-abịa nʼihu.

Let his posterity be cut off; in the generation following let their name be blotted out:

14 Ka Onyenwe anyị chetakwa mmehie niile nke nna nna ya ha, ka Onyenwe anyị hapụkwa ịgbaghara mmehie nne ya.

Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with Jehovah, and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out;

15 Ka Onyenwe anyị na-echeta mmehie ha oge niile; ma ka o mee ka ha bụrụ ndị a ga-echefu echefu nʼọgbọ niile.

Let them be before Jehovah continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth:

16 Nʼihi na ọ dịghị mgbe o chere echiche banyere imere onye ọzọ obi ebere, ọ kpagburu ndị ogbenye, ndị nọ na mkpa na ndị obi ha tiwara etiwa ruo nʼọnwụ.

Because he remembered not to shew kindness, but persecuted the afflicted and needy man, and the broken in heart, to slay him.

17 Ọ hụrụ ịbụ ndị ọzọ ọnụ nʼanya, ka ọbụbụ ọnụ bịakwasị ya; ọ dịghị atọ ya ụtọ ịgọzi onye ọbụla, ka ngọzị dị anya site nʼebe ọ nọ.

And he loved cursing; so let it come unto him. And he delighted not in blessing; and let it be far from him.

18 O yikwasịrị ịbụ ọnụ dịka uwe ya; ọ bara nʼime ahụ ya dịka mmiri, bakwaa nʼime ọkpụkpụ ya dịka mmanụ.

And he clothed himself with cursing like his vestment; so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones;

19 Ka ọ dịịrị ya ka uwe mwụda nke e kere ya gburugburu dịka akwa, dịka belịt e kegidere ya gburugburu ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.

Let it be unto him as a garment with which he covereth himself, and for a girdle wherewith he is constantly girded.

20 Onyenwe anyị, mee ka nke a bụrụ ụdị ụgwọ ọrụ ndị iro m ga-anata, bụ ndị ahụ niile na-ekwu okwu ọjọọ megide m.

Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from Jehovah, and of them that speak evil against my soul.

21 Ma gị onwe gị, Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị nyere m aka nʼihi aha gị, site nʼịdị mma nke ịhụnanya gị, napụta m.

But do thou for me, Jehovah, Lord, for thy name's sake; because thy loving-kindness is good, deliver me:

22 Nʼihi na abụ m ogbenye na onye nọ na mkpa, obi m tiwakwara etiwa nʼime m.

For I am afflicted and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.

23 Ana m efu dịka onyinyo nke a na-ahụ anya mgbe anwụ dara; adịkwa m ka igurube nke onye m bekwasịrị nʼahụ ya na-efechapụ.

I am gone like a shadow when it lengtheneth; I am tossed about like the locust;

24 Ike agwụla ikpere m, nʼihi ibu ọnụ; ataakwala m ahụ, bụrụ naanị ọkpụkpụ.

My knees are failing through fasting, and my flesh hath lost its fatness;

25 Aghọọla m onye e ji eme ihe ọchị nye ndị na-ebo m ebubo, mgbe ha hụrụ m, ha na-efufe isi ha.

And I am become a reproach unto them; [when] they look upon me they shake their heads.

26 Nyere m aka, o Onyenwe anyị Chineke m; zọpụta m dịka ịhụnanya gị si dị.

Help me, Jehovah my God; save me according to thy loving-kindness:

27 Ka ha mara na ọ bụ aka gị, na ọ bụ gị, o Onyenwe anyị, mere ya.

That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, Jehovah, hast done it.

28 Ha nwere ike nọgide na-abụ ọnụ, ma ị ga-agọzi; mgbe ha ga-abịa ọgụ, a ga-eme ha ihe ihere, ma ohu gị ga-aṅụrị ọṅụ.

Let them curse, but bless thou; when they rise up, let them be ashamed, and let thy servant rejoice.

29 A ga-eji ihere yikwasị ndị na-ebo m ebubo dịka uwe werekwa ihere kee ha gburugburu dịka uwe mwụda.

Let mine adversaries be clothed with confusion, and let them cover themselves with their shame as with a mantle.

30 Aga m eji ọnụ m jaa Onyenwe anyị mma nke ukwuu; nʼetiti ọha mmadụ dị ukwuu, aga m eto ya.

I will greatly celebrate Jehovah with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude.

31 Nʼihi na ọ na-eguzo nʼaka nri nke onye nọ na mkpa, ịzọpụta ya site nʼaka ndị na-ama ya ikpe ọnwụ.

For he standeth at the right hand of the needy, to save him from those that judge his soul.
