Abụ Ọma 13

1 Abụ Ọma nke dịrị onyeisi abụ. Abụ ọma Devid. Ruo ole mgbe ka i ga-echefu m Onyenwe anyị? Ruo ole mgbe ka i ga-ezonarị m ihu gị?

For the music director. A psalm of David. How long, Lord, are you going to forget me? Forever? How long will you turn away from me?

2 Ruo ole mgbe ka mụ na mmụọ m ga na-agba mgba nọdụkwa na-eru ụjụ kwa ụbọchị nʼime mkpụrụobi m? Ruo ole mgbe ka ndị iro m ga-anọgide na-emeri m?

How long must I be in inner turmoil, feeling sad all day long? How long will my enemy be victorious over me?

3 Lekwasị m anya, ma zaa m, O Onyenwe anyị Chineke m. Nyeghachi m ìhè nke anya m ka m ghara ịnwụ;

Think about this, and answer me, Lord my God. Give me back my strength, otherwise I'm going to die,

4 mgbe ahụ onye iro m ga-asị, “Emeriela m ya,” mgbe m ga-ada, ndị kpọrọ m asị ga-aṅụrịkwa ọṅụ.

and my enemy will say, “I defeated him!” and my opponents will celebrate my downfall.

5 Ma atụkwasịrị m obi nʼịhụnanya gị nke na-enweghị ọgwụgwụ; mkpụrụobi m na-aṅụrị ọṅụ na nzọpụta gị.

But I trust in your never-failing love, I will be happy because you save me.

6 Aga m abụku Onyenwe anyị abụ, nʼihi na o mesoro m mmeso ọma.

I will sing to the Lord because he has treated me with such generosity!
