Abụ Ọma 116
1 Ahụrụ m Onyenwe anyị nʼanya, nʼihi na ọ nụrụ olu m; ọ nụrụ mkpu akwa m maka ebere.
I have given my love to the Lord, because he has given ear to the voice of my cry and my prayer.
2 Nʼihi na o gere m ntị, aga m akpọku ya oge ndụ m niile.
He has let my request come before him, and I will make my prayer to him all my days.
3 Agbụ nke ọnwụ kekọrọ m, oke ihe mgbu nke ili bịakwasịrị m; nsogbu na iru ụjụ dakwasịrị m. (Sheol h7585)
The nets of death were round me, and the pains of the underworld had me in their grip; I was full of trouble and sorrow. (Sheol h7585)
4 Mgbe ahụ, akpọkuru m aha Onyenwe anyị: “O Onyenwe anyị, zọpụta m!”
Then I made my prayer to the Lord, saying, O Lord, take my soul out of trouble.
5 Onyenwe anyị bụ onye na-eme ebere na onye ezi omume. Chineke anyị jupụtakwara nʼọmịiko.
The Lord is full of grace and righteousness; truly, he is a God of mercy.
6 Onyenwe anyị na-echebe ndị na-enweghị uche; mgbe m nọ nʼọnọdụ mkpa, ọ zọpụtara m.
The Lord keeps the simple; I was made low, and he was my saviour.
7 Laghachi azụ zuru ike, gị mkpụrụobi m, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị emesola gị mmeso ọma.
Come back to your rest, O my soul; for the Lord has given you your reward.
8 Nʼihi na gị, o Onyenwe anyị, napụtara mkpụrụobi m site nʼọnwụ, anya m site na anya mmiri akwa, napụtakwa ụkwụ m site nʼịsọ ngọngọ,
You have taken my soul from the power of death, keeping my eyes from weeping, and my feet from falling.
9 ka m nwee ike jegharịa nʼihu Onyenwe anyị nʼime ala ebe ndị dị ndụ bi.
I will go before the Lord in the land of the living.
10 Ekwenyere m na Onyenwe anyị mgbe m kwuru sị, “Abụ m onye nọ nʼoke nsogbu,”
I still had faith, though I said, I am in great trouble;
11 nʼime ịda mba m, ekwuru m sị, “Mmadụ niile bụ ndị ụgha.”
Though I said in my fear, All men are false.
12 Gịnị ka m ga-enyeghachi Onyenwe anyị nʼihi mmeso ọma niile o mesoro m?
What may I give to the Lord for all the good things which he has done for me?
13 Aga m eweli iko nke nzọpụta m elu kpọkuokwa aha Onyenwe anyị.
I will take the cup of salvation, and give praise to the name of the Lord.
14 Nʼihu ndị ya niile ka m ga-anọ mezuo nkwa m kwere Onyenwe anyị.
I will make the offering of my oath to the Lord, even before all his people.
15 Ọnwụ nke ndị nsọ ya dị oke ọnụahịa nʼanya Onyenwe anyị.
Dear in the eyes of the Lord is the death of his saints.
16 O Onyenwe anyị, nʼezie, abụ m ohu gị; abụ m ohu gị, nwa nwoke nke ohu gị nwanyị; ị zọpụtala m site na agbụ e kere m.
O Lord, truly I am your servant; I am your servant, the son of her who is your servant; by you have my cords been broken.
17 Aga m achụrụ gị aja ekele kpọkuokwa aha Onyenwe anyị.
I will give an offering of praise to you, and make my prayer in the name of the Lord.
18 Ọ bụkwa nʼihu ndị ya niile ka m ga-anọ kwụghachi Onyenwe anyị nkwa m kwere,
I will make the offerings of my oath, even before all his people;
19 nʼime ogige ụlọ Onyenwe anyị, nʼetiti gị, O Jerusalem. Toonu Onyenwe anyị.
In the Lord's house, even in Jerusalem. Praise be to the Lord.
