Abụ Ọma 121

1 Abụ nrigo. Aga m eweli anya m abụọ elu, lee ha nʼelu ugwu niile, olee ebe inyeaka ga-esi bịara m?

A Canticle in steps. I have lifted up my eyes to the mountains; from thence help will come to me.

2 Inyeaka m na-esite nʼaka Onyenwe anyị, onye kere eluigwe na ụwa bịa.

My help is from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

3 Ọ gaghị ekwe ka ụkwụ gị gbụchapụ, onye na-eche gị nche na-amụ anya oge niile;

May he not allow your foot to be moved, and may he not slumber, who guards you.

4 nʼezie onye na-eche Izrel nche adịghị arahụ ụra, ọ dịghị atụkwa oru ụra.

Behold, he who guards Israel will neither sleep, nor slumber.

5 Onyenwe anyị na-eche gị nche, Onyenwe anyị bụ ndo gị nʼaka nri gị;

The Lord is your keeper, the Lord is your protection, above your right hand.

6 anyanwụ agaghị achagbu gị nʼehihie, ọnwa agaghị etigbukwa gị nʼabalị.

The sun will not burn you by day, nor the moon by night.

7 Onyenwe anyị ga-edebe gị ka ihe ọjọọ ọbụla ghara ịdakwasị gị. Ọ ga na-eche ndụ gị nche mgbe niile.

The Lord guards you from all evil. May the Lord guard your soul.

8 Onyenwe anyị ga-echebe gị mgbe ị na-apụ na mgbe ị na-abata abata, site ugbu a ruo mgbe niile ebighị ebi.

May the Lord guard your entrance and your exit, from this time forward and even forever.
