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.
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Deliver me, O LORD, 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.
Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually do they gather themselves together for war.
3 Ha na-eme ire ha ka ha dị nkọ dịka nke agwọ; elo ajụala dị nʼegbugbere ọnụ ha. (Sela)
They have sharpened their tongue 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 LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man: Who have purposed to thrust aside 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 hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the way side; they have set gins 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 said unto the LORD, Thou art my God: give ear unto the voice of my supplications, O LORD.
7 Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị Onye nzọpụta m dị ike, ị na-ekpuchi isi m nʼụbọchị agha.
O GOD the Lord, 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 LORD, the desires of the wicked; further not his evil device; [lest] they 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 compass me about, 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 upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, 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.
An evil speaker shall not be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.
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 the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and the right of the needy.
13 Nʼezie, ndị ezi omume ga-eto aha gị, ndị ziri ezi ga-ebikwa nʼihu gị.
Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence.
