Abụ Ọma 116
1 Ahụrụ m Onyenwe anyị nʼanya, nʼihi na ọ nụrụ olu m; ọ nụrụ mkpu akwa m maka ebere.
I love the LORD, because he has heard my voice and my supplications.
2 Nʼihi na o gere m ntị, aga m akpọku ya oge ndụ m niile.
Because he has inclined his ear to me, therefore will I call on him as long as I live.
3 Agbụ nke ọnwụ kekọrọ m, oke ihe mgbu nke ili bịakwasịrị m; nsogbu na iru ụjụ dakwasịrị m. (Sheol h7585)
The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell got hold on me: I found trouble and sorrow. (Sheol h7585)
4 Mgbe ahụ, akpọkuru m aha Onyenwe anyị: “O Onyenwe anyị, zọpụta m!”
Then called I on the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech you, deliver my soul.
5 Onyenwe anyị bụ onye na-eme ebere na onye ezi omume. Chineke anyị jupụtakwara nʼọmịiko.
Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yes, our God is merciful.
6 Onyenwe anyị na-echebe ndị na-enweghị uche; mgbe m nọ nʼọnọdụ mkpa, ọ zọpụtara m.
The LORD preserves the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.
7 Laghachi azụ zuru ike, gị mkpụrụobi m, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị emesola gị mmeso ọma.
Return to your rest, O my soul; for the LORD has dealt bountifully with you.
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,
For you have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.
9 ka m nwee ike jegharịa nʼihu Onyenwe anyị nʼime ala ebe ndị dị ndụ bi.
I will walk 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 believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted:
11 nʼime ịda mba m, ekwuru m sị, “Mmadụ niile bụ ndị ụgha.”
I said in my haste, All men are liars.
12 Gịnị ka m ga-enyeghachi Onyenwe anyị nʼihi mmeso ọma niile o mesoro m?
What shall I render to the LORD for all his benefits toward me?
13 Aga m eweli iko nke nzọpụta m elu kpọkuokwa aha Onyenwe anyị.
I will take the cup of salvation, and call on the name of the LORD.
14 Nʼihu ndị ya niile ka m ga-anọ mezuo nkwa m kwere Onyenwe anyị.
I will pay my vows to the LORD now in the presence of all his people.
15 Ọnwụ nke ndị nsọ ya dị oke ọnụahịa nʼanya Onyenwe anyị.
Precious in the sight 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, and the son of your handmaid: you have loosed my bonds.
17 Aga m achụrụ gị aja ekele kpọkuokwa aha Onyenwe anyị.
I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call on the name of the LORD.
18 Ọ bụkwa nʼihu ndị ya niile ka m ga-anọ kwụghachi Onyenwe anyị nkwa m kwere,
I will pay my vows to the LORD now in the presence of all his people.
19 nʼime ogige ụlọ Onyenwe anyị, nʼetiti gị, O Jerusalem. Toonu Onyenwe anyị.
In the courts of the LORD’s house, in the middle of you, O Jerusalem. Praise you the LORD.
