Abụ Ọma 14

1 Abụ Ọma nke dịrị onyeisi abụ. Abụ ọma Devid. Onye nzuzu na-asị nʼime obi ya, “Ọ dịghị Chineke ọbụla dị.” Ha bụ ndị ajọ omume riri ahụ, ọrụ aka ha niile bụkwa ihe arụ; ọ dịghị onye ọbụla na-eme ezi ihe.

To the chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They have corrupted themselves, they have done abominable works: there is none that doeth good.

2 Onyenwe anyị sitere nʼeluigwe na-ele ụmụ mmadụ anya ịhụ ma ọ ga-achọta onye ọbụla nwere nghọta onye nke na-achọ Chineke.

Jehovah looked down from the heavens upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.

3 Mmadụ niile ewezugala onwe ha, ha niile abụrụla ndị ajọ omume riri ahụ; ọ dịghị onye ọbụla na-eme ihe ziri ezi, ọ dịghị ọ bụladị, otu onye.

They have all gone aside, they are together become corrupt: there is none that doeth good, not even one.

4 Ndị niile na-eme ajọ ihe, ha amaghị ihe? Ha na-eripịa ndị m dịka mmadụ si eri nri, ha adịghị akpọkukwa Onyenwe anyị.

Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, eating up my people [as] they eat bread? They call not upon Jehovah.

5 Ma nʼebe ahụ ka ha nọ, nʼọnọdụ oke egwu, nʼihi na Chineke nọ nʼetiti ndị ezi omume.

There were they in great fear; for God is in the generation of the righteous.

6 Unu ndị ajọ omume na-emebi atụmatụ ndị ogbenye, ma Onyenwe anyị bụ ebe mgbaba ha.

Ye have shamed the counsel of the afflicted, because Jehovah [was] his refuge.

7 A sịkwarị na nzọpụta Izrel ga-esi na Zayọn pụta! Mgbe Onyenwe anyị ga-akpọghachite ndị ya nʼọnọdụ ha, ka Jekọb ṅụrịa ọṅụ, ka Izrel nwekwaa obi ụtọ!

Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When Jehovah turneth again the captivity of his people, Jacob shall be glad, Israel shall rejoice.
