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, LORD, not to us, but to your name give glory, for your loving kindness, and for your truth’s sake.
2 Gịnị mere ọtụtụ mba niile nke ụwa ji na-ajụ sị, “Olee ebe Chineke ha nọ?”
Why should the nations say, “Where is their God, now?”
3 Chineke anyị bi nʼeluigwe. Ọ bụkwa ihe tọrọ ya ụtọ nʼobi ka ọ na-eme.
But our God is in the heavens. He does whatever he pleases.
4 Arụsị ha niile bụ ọlaọcha na ọlaedo ka e ji kpụọ ha, ha bụ ọrụ aka mmadụ.
Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.
5 Ha nwere ọnụ ma ha adịghị ekwu okwu, ha nwere anya abụọ ma ha adịghị ahụ ụzọ;
They have mouths, but they don’t speak. They have eyes, but they don’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 don’t hear. They have noses, but they don’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 don’t feel. They have feet, but they don’t walk, neither do they speak through their throat.
8 Ndị na-eme ha ga-adịkwa ka ha. Ndị na-atụkwasị ha obi ga-adịkwa ka ha.
Those who make them will be like them; yes, everyone who trusts in them.
9 Ụmụ Izrel, tụkwasịnụ Onyenwe anyị obi ọ bụ onye inyeaka ha na ọta ha.
Israel, trust in the LORD! He is their help and their shield.
10 Ezinaụlọ Erọn, tụkwasịnụ Onyenwe anyị obi. Ọ bụ ya bụ onye inyeaka ha na ọta ha.
House of Aaron, trust in the LORD! He is their help and their shield.
11 Unu ndị na-atụ egwu ya, tụkwasịnụ Onyenwe anyị obi ọ bụ onye inyeaka ha na ọta ha.
You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD! He is their help and their shield.
12 Onyenwe anyị na-echeta anyị, ọ ga-agọzikwa anyị, ọ ga-agọzi ndị ya bụ Izrel, ọ ga-agọzi ezinaụlọ Erọn,
The LORD remembers us. He will bless us. He will bless the house of Israel. He will bless the house of Aaron.
13 ọ ga-agọzi ndị niile na-atụ egwu Onyenwe anyị, ma onye nta ma onye ukwu.
He will bless those who fear the LORD, both small and great.
14 Ka Onyenwe anyị mee ka unu mụbaa, unu na ụmụ unu.
May the LORD increase you more and more, you and your children.
15 Ka Onyenwe anyị onye kere eluigwe na elu ụwa gọzie unu.
Blessed are you by the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
16 Eluigwe niile bụ nke Onyenwe anyị, ọ bụkwa ya nyere ụmụ mmadụ elu ụwa niile.
The heavens are the LORD’s heavens, but he has given the earth to the children of men.
17 Ọ bụghị ndị nwụrụ anwụ na-eto Onyenwe anyị, ndị na-arịda nʼebe ịnọ duu;
The dead don’t praise the LORD, nor any who go down into silence,
18 ọ bụ anyị ga-aja Onyenwe anyị mma, site ugbu a ruo mgbe ebighị ebi. Toonu Onyenwe anyị.
but we will bless the LORD, from this time forward and forever more. Praise the LORD!
