Abụ Ọma 131

1 Abụ nrigo, nke Devid. O Onyenwe anyị, nganga adịghị nʼobi m, ndụ mpako abụkwaghị ọchịchọ m; adịghị m etinye onwe m nʼokwu karịrị m maọbụ nʼihe ndị dị ukwuu karịa m.

A Song of the Ascents, by David. Jehovah, my heart hath not been haughty, Nor have mine eyes been high, Nor have I walked in great things, And in things too wonderful for me.

2 Ma ana m edere duu, mkpụrụobi m nọkwa jụụ; dịka nwantakịrị a napụrụ ara, ya na nne ya nọ, e, dịka nwantakịrị a napụrụ ara, otu a ka mkpụrụobi m nọ nʼime m.

Have I not compared, and kept silent my soul, As a weaned one by its mother? As a weaned one by me [is] my soul.

3 Ndị Izrel, ka olileanya unu dịrị na Onyenwe anyị ugbu a na mgbe niile ebighị ebi.

Israel doth wait on Jehovah, From henceforth, and unto the age!
