< 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 afflictions:
2 Ọ ṅụrụ iyi nye Onyenwe anyị, kwee nkwa nye Onye dị ukwuu nke Jekọb:
How he sware unto the LORD, [and] vowed unto the mighty [God] of Jacob;
3 “Agaghị m abanye nʼime ụlọ m maọbụ rigoo nʼihe ndina m,
Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed;
4 agaghị m arahụ ụra, egbugbere anya m agaghị atụ oru ụra,
I will not give sleep to mine eyes, [or] 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, an habitation for the mighty [God] of Jacob.
6 Anyị nụrụ ihe banyere ya nʼEfrata, anyị chọtara ya nʼubi niile nke Jearim.
Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: 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.
We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool.
8 ‘Bilie, Onyenwe anyị, bata nʼebe izuike gị, gị na igbe ọgbụgba ndụ nke ike gị.
Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; 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 hath sworn [in] truth unto David; he will not turn 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 will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore.
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 rest 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 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 also clothe her priests 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 the horn of David to bud: I have ordained 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 flourish.
