Abụ Ọma 116
1 Ahụrụ m Onyenwe anyị nʼanya, nʼihi na ọ nụrụ olu m; ọ nụrụ mkpu akwa m maka ebere.
Alleluia. I am well pleased, because the Lord will listen to the voice of my supplication.
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 upon him while I live.
3 Agbụ nke ọnwụ kekọrọ m, oke ihe mgbu nke ili bịakwasịrị m; nsogbu na iru ụjụ dakwasịrị m. (Sheol h7585)
The pangs of death compassed me; the dangers of hell found me: I found affliction and sorrow. (Sheol h7585)
4 Mgbe ahụ, akpọkuru m aha Onyenwe anyị: “O Onyenwe anyị, zọpụta m!”
Then I called on the name of the Lord: O Lord, deliver my soul.
5 Onyenwe anyị bụ onye na-eme ebere na onye ezi omume. Chineke anyị jupụtakwara nʼọmịiko.
The Lord is merciful and righteous; yes, our God has pity.
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 delivered 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 he has delivered my soul from death, mine 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 shall be well-pleasing 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,”
Alleluia. I believed, therefore I have spoken: but I was greatly afflicted.
11 nʼime ịda mba m, ekwuru m sị, “Mmadụ niile bụ ndị ụgha.”
And I said in mine amazement, Every man is a liar.
12 Gịnị ka m ga-enyeghachi Onyenwe anyị nʼihi mmeso ọma niile o mesoro m?
What shall I render to the Lord for all the things wherein he has rewarded me?
13 Aga m eweli iko nke nzọpụta m elu kpọkuokwa aha Onyenwe anyị.
I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon 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, 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, I am your servant; I am your servant, and the son of your handmaid: you have burst by bonds asunder.
17 Aga m achụrụ gị aja ekele kpọkuokwa aha Onyenwe anyị.
I will offer to you the sacrifice of praise, and will call upon 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, 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 midst of you, Jerusalem.
