Abụ Ọma 115
1 Ọ bụghị anyị ka ọ dịrị, o Onyenwe anyị, ọ bụghị anyị ka ọ dịrị, kama ọ bụ aha gị ka ebube na-adịrị, nʼihi ịhụnanya gị na ikwesi ntụkwasị obi gị.
Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory, because of your mercy and your truth;
2 Gịnị mere ọtụtụ mba niile nke ụwa ji na-ajụ sị, “Olee ebe Chineke ha nọ?”
lest at any time the nations should say, Where is their God?
3 Chineke anyị bi nʼeluigwe. Ọ bụkwa ihe tọrọ ya ụtọ nʼobi ka ọ na-eme.
But our God has done in heaven and on earth, whatever he has pleased.
4 Arụsị ha niile bụ ọlaọcha na ọlaedo ka e ji kpụọ ha, ha bụ ọrụ aka mmadụ.
The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the works of men's hands.
5 Ha nwere ọnụ ma ha adịghị ekwu okwu, ha nwere anya abụọ ma ha adịghị ahụ ụzọ;
They have a mouth, but they can’t speak; they have eyes, but they can’t see:
6 ha nwere ntị ma ha adịghị anụ ihe, ha nwekwara imi ma ha adịghị anụ isisi ọbụla;
they have ears, but they can’t hear; they have noses, but they can’t smell;
7 ha nwere aka, ma ha adịghị emetụ ihe ọbụla aka, ha nwere ụkwụ, ma ha adịghị eje ije; ha enweghị ike iji akpịrị ha mee mkpọtụ ọbụla.
they have hands, but they can’t handle; they have feet, but they can’t walk: they can’t speak through their throat.
8 Ndị na-eme ha ga-adịkwa ka ha. Ndị na-atụkwasị ha obi ga-adịkwa ka ha.
Let those that make them become like to them, and all who trust in them.
9 Ụmụ Izrel, tụkwasịnụ Onyenwe anyị obi ọ bụ onye inyeaka ha na ọta ha.
The house of Israel trusts in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.
10 Ezinaụlọ Erọn, tụkwasịnụ Onyenwe anyị obi. Ọ bụ ya bụ onye inyeaka ha na ọta ha.
The house of Aaron trusts in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.
11 Unu ndị na-atụ egwu ya, tụkwasịnụ Onyenwe anyị obi ọ bụ onye inyeaka ha na ọta ha.
They that fear the Lord trust in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.
12 Onyenwe anyị na-echeta anyị, ọ ga-agọzikwa anyị, ọ ga-agọzi ndị ya bụ Izrel, ọ ga-agọzi ezinaụlọ Erọn,
The Lord has remembered us, and blessed us: he has blessed the house of Israel, he has blessed the house of Aaron.
13 ọ ga-agọzi ndị niile na-atụ egwu Onyenwe anyị, ma onye nta ma onye ukwu.
He has blessed them that fear the Lord, both small and great.
14 Ka Onyenwe anyị mee ka unu mụbaa, unu na ụmụ unu.
The Lord add [blessings] to you and to your children.
15 Ka Onyenwe anyị onye kere eluigwe na elu ụwa gọzie unu.
Blessed are you of the Lord, who made the heaven and the earth.
16 Eluigwe niile bụ nke Onyenwe anyị, ọ bụkwa ya nyere ụmụ mmadụ elu ụwa niile.
The heaven of heavens [belongs] to the Lord: but he has given the earth to the sons of men.
17 Ọ bụghị ndị nwụrụ anwụ na-eto Onyenwe anyị, ndị na-arịda nʼebe ịnọ duu;
The dead shall not praise you, O Lord, nor any that go down to Hades.
18 ọ bụ anyị ga-aja Onyenwe anyị mma, site ugbu a ruo mgbe ebighị ebi. Toonu Onyenwe anyị.
But we, the living, will bless the Lord, from henceforth and for ever.
