< Abụ Ọma 132 >

1 Abụ nrigo. O Onyenwe anyị, cheta Devid, nʼihe niile bụ ndị ọ gbakụtara azụ.
A Song of the Ascents. Remember, Jehovah, for David, all his afflictions.
2 Ọ ṅụrụ iyi nye Onyenwe anyị, kwee nkwa nye Onye dị ukwuu nke Jekọb:
Who hath sworn to Jehovah. He hath vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
3 “Agaghị m abanye nʼime ụlọ m maọbụ rigoo nʼihe ndina m,
'If I enter into the tent of my house, If I go up on the couch of my bed,
4 agaghị m arahụ ụra, egbugbere anya m agaghị atụ oru ụra,
If I give sleep to mine eyes, To mine eyelids — slumber,
5 tutu ruo mgbe m chọtaara Onyenwe anyị ọnọdụ ebe obibi nye Onye dị ukwuu nke Jekọb.”
Till I do find a place for Jehovah, Tabernacles for the Mighty One of Jacob.
6 Anyị nụrụ ihe banyere ya nʼEfrata, anyị chọtara ya nʼubi niile nke Jearim.
'Lo, we have heard it in Ephratah, We have found it in the fields of the forest.
7 “Ka anyị gaa na-ebe obibi ya; ka anyị kpọọ isiala nʼebe ihe mgbakwasị ụkwụ ya.
We come in to His tabernacles, We bow ourselves at His footstool.
8 ‘Bilie, Onyenwe anyị, bata nʼebe izuike gị, gị na igbe ọgbụgba ndụ nke ike gị.
Arise, O Jehovah, to 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.’”
Thy priests do put on righteousness, And Thy pious ones cry aloud.
10 Nʼihi ohu gị, bụ Devid, agbakụtala onye gị e tere mmanụ azụ.
For the sake of David Thy servant, Turn not back 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,
Jehovah hath sworn truth to David, He turneth not back from it: Of the fruit of thy body, I set on the throne for thee.
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 sons keep My covenant, And My testimonies that I teach them, Their sons also for ever and ever, Do sit on the throne for thee.
13 Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị ahọrọla Zayọn, ọ bụ ọchịchọ obi ya ime ya ebe obibi ya;
For Jehovah hath fixed on Zion, He hath desired [it] for a seat to Himself,
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 and ever, Here do I sit, 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.
Her provision I greatly bless, Her needy ones I satisfy [with] bread,
16 Aga m eji nzọpụta yinye ndị nchụaja ya niile dịka uwe, ndị nsọ ya ga-abụ abụ nʼihi ọṅụ.
And her priests I clothe [with] salvation, And her pious ones do sing aloud.
17 “Nʼebe a ka m ga-eme ka mpi puputara Devid ma debekwa oriọna nʼihi onye m e tere mmanụ.
There I cause to spring up a horn for David, I have arranged 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 I do clothe [with] shame, And upon him doth his crown flourish!
