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 by David.] Hear my prayer, Jehovah. Listen to my petitions. In your faithfulness and righteousness, relieve me.
2 Edubatala m nʼọnọdụ ikpe m ikpe, nʼihi na ọ dịghị onye ọbụla dị ndụ bụ onye ezi omume nʼihu gị.
Do not enter into judgment with your servant, for in your sight no man living is righteous.
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 pursues my soul. He has struck my life down to the ground. He has made me live in dark places, as those who have been long dead.
4 Ya mere mmụọ m na-ada mba nʼime m ụjọ jupụtakwara m nʼobi.
Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me. My heart within me is desolate.
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 remember the days of old. I meditate on all your doings. I contemplate 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)
I spread forth my hands to you. My soul thirsts for you, like a parched land. (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.
Hurry to answer me, Jehovah. My spirit fails. Do not hide your face from me, so that I do not become like those who go down 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.
Cause me to hear your loving kindness in the morning, for I trust in you. Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, for I lift 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.
Deliver me, Jehovah, from my enemies. I run to you for refuge.
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 Spirit is good. Lead me in the land of uprightness.
11 O Onyenwe anyị, nʼihi aha gị chebe ndụ m; nʼime ezi omume gị, napụta m site na nsogbu.
Revive me, Jehovah, for your name's sake. In your righteousness, bring 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.
In your loving kindness, cut off my enemies, and destroy all those who afflict my soul, For I am your servant.
