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 Song of degrees. I lift up mine eyes unto the mountains: whence shall my help come?

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

My help [cometh] from Jehovah, who made the heavens and the earth.

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

He will not suffer thy foot to be moved; he that keepeth thee will not slumber.

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

Behold, he that keepeth Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

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

Jehovah is thy keeper, Jehovah is thy shade upon thy right hand;

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

The sun shall not smite thee 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.

Jehovah will keep thee from all evil; he will keep thy 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.

Jehovah will keep thy going out and thy coming in, from henceforth and for evermore.
