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?

To the Chief Musician. A Melody of David. How long, O Yahweh, wilt thou wholly forget me? How long wilt thou hide thy face 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 shall I lay up cares within my soul, sorrow in my heart, day by day? How long shall mine enemy lift himself up over me?

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

Have regard! answer me O Yahweh my God, —Light up mine eyes, lest I sleep on into death:

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

Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed over him! and, mine adversaries, exult, that I totter.

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

But, I, in thy lovingkindness, have put my trust, My heart shall exult in thy salvation:

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

I will sing to Yahweh, for he hath dealt beautifully with me.
