Abụ Ọma 140
1 Abụ nke dịrị onyeisi abụ. Abụ Ọma Devid. O Onyenwe anyị, dọpụta m site nʼaka ndị na-eme ihe ọjọọ. Chebe m ka m ghara ịdaba nʼaka ndị na-eme ihe ike dị iche iche.
To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Free me, O Jehovah, from the evil man; preserve me from the violent man:
2 Ndị na-atụ atụmatụ ime ihe ọjọọ nʼobi ha na-akpali agha ụbọchị niile.
Who devise mischiefs in [their] heart; every day are they banded together for war.
3 Ha na-eme ire ha ka ha dị nkọ dịka nke agwọ; elo ajụala dị nʼegbugbere ọnụ ha. (Sela)
They sharpen their tongues like a serpent; adders' poison is under their lips. (Selah)
4 Chebe m Onyenwe anyị, ka m ghara ịdaba nʼaka ndị na-emebi iwu; chebe m ka m ghara ịdaba nʼaka ndị na-eme ihe ike, ndị na-eche echiche ọdịda m.
Keep me, O Jehovah, from the hands of the wicked [man], preserve me from the violent man, who devise to overthrow my steps.
5 Ndị mpako esielera m ọnya igbudu; ha agbasaala ụgbụ ha na udo ha, siekwara m ọnya dị iche iche nʼụzọ m na-aga. (Sela)
The proud have hidden a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the way-side; they have set traps for me. (Selah)
6 A sịrị m Onyenwe anyị, “Gị onwe gị bụ Chineke m.” Nụrụ, O Onyenwe anyị, olu arịrịọ m maka amara.
I have said unto Jehovah, Thou art my God: give ear, O Jehovah, to the voice of my supplications.
7 Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị Onye nzọpụta m dị ike, ị na-ekpuchi isi m nʼụbọchị agha.
Jehovah, the Lord, is the strength of my salvation: thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.
8 Ekwekwala ka ndị ajọ omume chọta ihe ha na-achọ, o Onyenwe anyị, ekwekwala ka nzube ha mezuo. (Sela)
Grant not, O Jehovah, the desire of the wicked; further not his device: they would exalt themselves. (Selah)
9 Ndị niile gbara m gburugburu na-ebuli isi ha elu na nganga ka ndụ ọjọọ nke egbugbere ọnụ ha rikpuo ha.
[As for] the head of those that encompass me, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
10 Ka icheku ọkụ na-ere ere dakwasị ha; ka a tụba ha nʼime ọkụ na-ere ere, nʼime olulu apịtị jupụtara, nke ha na-enweghị ike isite nʼime ya pụta ọzọ.
Let burning coals fall on them; let them be cast into the fire; into deep waters, that they rise not up again.
11 Ekwela ka ndị na-ekwu okwu nkwulu guzosie ike nʼala, ka ihe ọjọọ chụda ndị na-eme ihe ike.
Let not the man of [evil] tongue be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the man of violence to [his] ruin.
12 Amaara m na Onyenwe anyị ga-ekpe ikpe ziri ezi nye ndị ogbenye na-emekwa ka ndị nọ na mkpa nweta ihe ruuru ha.
I know that Jehovah will maintain the cause of the afflicted one, the right of the needy.
13 Nʼezie, ndị ezi omume ga-eto aha gị, ndị ziri ezi ga-ebikwa nʼihu gị.
Yea, the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name; the upright shall dwell in thy presence.
