Abụ Ọma 143
1 Abụ Ọma Devid. O Onyenwe anyị, nụrụ ekpere m, gekwaa ntị nʼakwa arịrịọ m maka amara; nʼihi ikwesi ntụkwasị obi gị na ezi omume gị, bịa nyere m aka.
A Psalm. Of David. Let my prayer come to you, O Lord; give ear to my requests for your grace; keep faith with me, and give me an answer in your righteousness;
2 Edubatala m nʼọnọdụ ikpe m ikpe, nʼihi na ọ dịghị onye ọbụla dị ndụ bụ onye ezi omume nʼihu gị.
Let not your servant come before you to be judged; for no man living is upright in your eyes.
3 Onye iro na-achụ m ọsọ, ọ na-azọpịa ndụ m nʼala; na-emekwa ka m nọdụ nʼọchịchịrị, dịka ndị nwụrụ anwụ nʼogologo oge gara aga.
The evil man has gone after my soul; my life is crushed down to the earth: he has put me in the dark, like those who have long been dead.
4 Ya mere mmụọ m na-ada mba nʼime m ụjọ jupụtakwara m nʼobi.
Because of this my spirit is overcome; and my heart is full of fear.
5 Ana m echeta ụbọchị niile ndị ahụ gara aga; ana m atụgharị uche nʼọrụ gị niile na-echekwa echiche banyere ihe niile aka gị rụrụ.
I keep in mind the early days of the past, giving thought to all your acts, even to the work of your hands.
6 Ana m agbasa aka m abụọ nye gị; agụụ gị na-agụ mkpụrụobi m dịka agụụ mmiri ozuzo si agụ ala kpọrọ nkụ. (Sela)
My hands are stretched out to you: my soul is turned to you, like a land in need of water. (Selah)
7 O Onyenwe anyị, zaa m ọsịịsọ; mmụọ m na-ada mba. Ezonarịla m ihu gị, ma ọ bụghị ya, aga m adị ka ndị na-arịda ruo nʼili.
Be quick in answering me, O Lord, for the strength of my spirit is gone: let me see your face, so that I may not be like those who go down into the underworld.
8 Mee ka m nụrụ okwu ịhụnanya gị nke na-adịghị agharịpụ nʼisi ụtụtụ, nʼihi na ọ bụ gị ka m tụkwasịrị obi. Zi m ụzọ m kwesiri ịgbaso, nʼihi na ọ bụ gị ka m na-eweli mkpụrụobi m nye.
Let the story of your mercy come to me in the morning, for my hope is in you: give me knowledge of the way in which I am to go; for my soul is lifted up to you.
9 O Onyenwe anyị, gbapụta m site nʼaka ndị iro m, nʼihi na ọ bụ nʼime gị ka m na-ezo onwe m.
O Lord, take me out of the hands of my haters; my soul is waiting for you.
10 Kuziere m ime uche gị, nʼihi na ị bụ Chineke m; ka ezi Mmụọ gị duo m nʼala dị larịị.
Give me teaching so that I may do your pleasure; for you are my God: let your good Spirit be my guide into the land of righteousness.
11 O Onyenwe anyị, nʼihi aha gị chebe ndụ m; nʼime ezi omume gị, napụta m site na nsogbu.
Give me life, O Lord, because of your name; in your righteousness take my soul out of trouble.
12 Nʼime ịhụnanya gị na-adịghị agharịpụ, kpochapụ ndị iro m; laa ndị niile kpọrọ m asị nʼiyi, nʼihi na abụ m ohu gị.
And in your mercy put an end to my haters, and send destruction on all those who are against my soul; for I am your servant.
