Abụ Ọma 132
1 Abụ nrigo. O Onyenwe anyị, cheta Devid, nʼihe niile bụ ndị ọ gbakụtara azụ.
A song of ascents. Remember, O Lord, David all his sufferings,
2 Ọ ṅụrụ iyi nye Onyenwe anyị, kwee nkwa nye Onye dị ukwuu nke Jekọb:
the oath that he swore to the Lord, and his vow to the Strong One of Jacob,
3 “Agaghị m abanye nʼime ụlọ m maọbụ rigoo nʼihe ndina m,
never to enter his tent, never to lie on his bed,
4 agaghị m arahụ ụra, egbugbere anya m agaghị atụ oru ụra,
never to give his eyes sleep or his eyelids slumber,
5 tutu ruo mgbe m chọtaara Onyenwe anyị ọnọdụ ebe obibi nye Onye dị ukwuu nke Jekọb.”
till he had found a place for the Lord, for the Strong One of Jacob to live in.
6 Anyị nụrụ ihe banyere ya nʼEfrata, anyị chọtara ya nʼubi niile nke Jearim.
We heard of it in Ephrathah, in the fields of Jaar we found it.
7 “Ka anyị gaa na-ebe obibi ya; ka anyị kpọọ isiala nʼebe ihe mgbakwasị ụkwụ ya.
We went to the place where he dwelt, we bowed ourselves low at his footstool.
8 ‘Bilie, Onyenwe anyị, bata nʼebe izuike gị, gị na igbe ọgbụgba ndụ nke ike gị.
“Arise, Lord, and enter your resting-place, you and your mighty ark.
9 Ka ndị nchụaja gị yiri ezi omume gị dịka uwe; ka ndị gị kwesiri ntụkwasị obi bụọ abụ nʼihi ọṅụ.’”
Let your priests wear a garment of righteousness, your faithful shout aloud for joy.
10 Nʼihi ohu gị, bụ Devid, agbakụtala onye gị e tere mmanụ azụ.
For the sake of David your servant, do not reject 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 swore an oath to David an oath that he will not break; “I will set on your throne a prince of your line.
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 sons keep my covenant and the statutes I teach them, then their sons, too, forever, will sit on your throne.”
13 Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị ahọrọla Zayọn, ọ bụ ọchịchọ obi ya ime ya ebe obibi ya;
For the choice of the Lord is Zion; she is the home of his heart.
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 forever my resting-place, this is the home of my heart.
15 Aga m eji ọtụtụ nri dị iche iche gọzie ya; aga m eji nri mee ka afọ ju ndị ogbenye ya.
I will royally bless her provision, and give bread to her poor in abundance.
16 Aga m eji nzọpụta yinye ndị nchụaja ya niile dịka uwe, ndị nsọ ya ga-abụ abụ nʼihi ọṅụ.
Her priests I will clothe with salvation; her faithful will shout 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 raise up for David a dynasty of power. I have set my anointed a lamp that shall never go out.
18 Aga m eyikwasị ndị iro ya ihere dịka uwe ma aga eji okpueze mara mma chọọ isi ya mma.”
Robes of shame I will put on his foes, but on his head a glittering crown.”
