Abụ Ọma 132

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

A Song of Ascents. LORD, remember unto David all his affliction;

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

How he swore unto the LORD, and vowed unto the Mighty One of Jacob:

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

'Surely I will not come into the tent of my house, nor go up into the bed that is spread for me;

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;

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

Until I find out a place for the LORD, a dwelling-place for the Mighty One of Jacob.'

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

Lo, we heard of it as being in Ephrath; we found it in the field of the wood.

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

Let us go into His dwelling-place; let us worship at His footstool.

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

Arise, O LORD, unto Thy resting-place; Thou, and the ark of Thy strength.

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

Let Thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let Thy saints shout for joy.

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

For Thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of Thine 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 swore unto David in truth; He will not turn back from it: 'Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy 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 thy children keep My covenant and My testimony that I shall teach them, their children also for ever shall sit upon thy throne.'

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

For the LORD hath chosen Zion; He hath desired it for His habitation:

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 resting-place for ever; here will I dwell; for I have desired 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 abundantly bless her provision; I will give her needy bread in plenty.

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

Her priests also will I clothe with salvation; and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.

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

There will I make a horn to shoot up unto David, there have I ordered 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 shame; but upon himself shall his crown shine.'
