Abụ Ọma 132

1 Abụ nrigo. O Onyenwe anyị, cheta Devid, nʼihe niile bụ ndị ọ gbakụtara azụ.

A Song of Degrees. Lord, remember David, and all his meekness:

2 Ọ ṅụrụ iyi nye Onyenwe anyị, kwee nkwa nye Onye dị ukwuu nke Jekọb:

how he sware to the Lord, [and] vowed to the God of Jacob, [saying],

3 “Agaghị m abanye nʼime ụlọ m maọbụ rigoo nʼihe ndina m,

I will not go into the tabernacle of my house; I will not go up to the couch of my bed;

4 agaghị m arahụ ụra, egbugbere anya m agaghị atụ oru ụra,

I will not give sleep to mine eyes, nor slumber to mine eyelids, nor rest to my temples,

5 tutu ruo mgbe m chọtaara Onyenwe anyị ọnọdụ ebe obibi nye Onye dị ukwuu nke Jekọb.”

until I find a place for the Lord, a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.

6 Anyị nụrụ ihe banyere ya nʼEfrata, anyị chọtara ya nʼubi niile nke Jearim.

Behold, we heard of it in Ephratha; we found it in the fields of the wood.

7 “Ka anyị gaa na-ebe obibi ya; ka anyị kpọọ isiala nʼebe ihe mgbakwasị ụkwụ ya.

Let us enter into his tabernacles: let us worship at the place where his feet stood.

8 ‘Bilie, Onyenwe anyị, bata nʼebe izuike gị, gị na igbe ọgbụgba ndụ nke ike gị.

Arise, O Lord, into your rest; you, and the ark of your holiness.

9 Ka ndị nchụaja gị yiri ezi omume gị dịka uwe; ka ndị gị kwesiri ntụkwasị obi bụọ abụ nʼihi ọṅụ.’”

Your priests shall clothe themselves with righteousness; and your saints shall exult.

10 Nʼihi ohu gị, bụ Devid, agbakụtala onye gị e tere mmanụ azụ.

For the sake of your servant David turn not away the face of your anointed.

11 Onyenwe anyị ṅụrụ Devid iyi nʼeziokwu, bụ iyi nke ọ gaghị esi na ya laghachi azụ: “Otu nʼime ụmụ gị, ka m ga-eme ka ọ nọdụ nʼocheeze gị,

The Lord sware [in] truth to David, and he will not annul it, [saying], Of the fruit of your body will I set [a king] upon your throne.

12 ọ bụrụ na ụmụ ndị ikom gị edebe ọgbụgba ndụ m na ụkpụrụ niile m kuziri ha, mgbe ahụ ụmụ ha ga-anọdụ ala nʼocheeze gị ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.”

If your children will deep my covenant, and these my testimonies which I shall teach them, their children also shall sit upon your throne for ever.

13 Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị ahọrọla Zayọn, ọ bụ ọchịchọ obi ya ime ya ebe obibi ya;

For the Lord has elected Sion, he has chosen her for a habitation for himself, [saying],

14 “Ebe a bụ ebe izuike m ruo mgbe ebighị ebi, ebe a ka ocheeze m ga-adịkwa, nʼihi na ọ bụ ihe m chọrọ.

This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have chosen it.

15 Aga m eji ọtụtụ nri dị iche iche gọzie ya; aga m eji nri mee ka afọ ju ndị ogbenye ya.

I will surely bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.

16 Aga m eji nzọpụta yinye ndị nchụaja ya niile dịka uwe, ndị nsọ ya ga-abụ abụ nʼihi ọṅụ.

I will clothe her priests with salvation; and her saints shall greatly exult.

17 “Nʼebe a ka m ga-eme ka mpi puputara Devid ma debekwa oriọna nʼihi onye m e tere mmanụ.

There will I cause to spring up a horn to David: I have prepared a lamp for mine anointed.

18 Aga m eyikwasị ndị iro ya ihere dịka uwe ma aga eji okpueze mara mma chọọ isi ya mma.”

His enemies will I clothe with a shame; but upon himself shall my holiness flourish.
