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, when his son Absalom was pursuing him. O Lord, hear my prayer. Incline your ear to my supplication in your truth. Heed me according to your justice.
2 Edubatala m nʼọnọdụ ikpe m ikpe, nʼihi na ọ dịghị onye ọbụla dị ndụ bụ onye ezi omume nʼihu gị.
And do not enter into judgment with your servant. For all the living will not be justified in your sight.
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.
For the enemy has pursued my soul. He has lowered my life to the earth. He has stationed me in darkness, like the dead of ages past.
4 Ya mere mmụọ m na-ada mba nʼime m ụjọ jupụtakwara m nʼobi.
And my spirit has been in anguish over me. My heart within me has been disturbed.
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 have called to mind the days of antiquity. I have been meditating on all your works. I have meditated on the workings 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)
I have extended my hands to you. My soul is like a land without water before you.
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.
O Lord, heed me quickly. My spirit has grown faint. Do not turn your face away from me, lest I become like those who descend into the pit.
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.
Make me hear your mercy in the morning. For I have hoped in you. Make known to me the way that I should walk. For I have lifted up my soul 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, rescue me from my enemies. I have fled to you.
10 Kuziere m ime uche gị, nʼihi na ị bụ Chineke m; ka ezi Mmụọ gị duo m nʼala dị larịị.
Teach me to do your will. For you are my God. Your good Spirit will lead me into the righteous land.
11 O Onyenwe anyị, nʼihi aha gị chebe ndụ m; nʼime ezi omume gị, napụta m site na nsogbu.
For the sake of your name, O Lord, you will revive me in your fairness. You will lead my soul out of tribulation.
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 you will scatter my enemies in your mercy. And you will destroy all those who afflict my soul. For I am your servant.
