Abụ Ọma 146

1 Toonu Onyenwe anyị. O mkpụrụobi m, too Onyenwe anyị.

Praise ye Jehovah. Praise Jehovah, O my soul.

2 Aga m eto Onyenwe anyị ogologo ndụ m niile; aga m abụ abụ otuto nye Chineke m mgbe m nọ na-adị ndụ.

While I live I will praise Jehovah. I will sing praises to my God while I have any being.

3 Atụkwasịla ụmụ eze obi gị, ndị bụ mmadụ efu na-apụghị ịzọpụta.

Put not your trust in rulers, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.

4 Mgbe mmụọ ha pụrụ, ha na-alaghachi nʼaja; nʼụbọchị ahụ, atụmatụ ha na-aghọ ihe efu.

His breath goes forth, he returns to his earth. In that very day his thoughts perish.

5 Onye a gọziri agọzi ka onye ahụ bụ, onye inyeaka ya bụ Chineke nke Jekọb, onye olileanya ya dị na Onyenwe anyị, Chineke ya.

Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in Jehovah his God,

6 Onye kere eluigwe na ụwa, na osimiri, na ihe niile dị nʼime ha, Onyenwe anyị, onye ikwesi ntụkwasị obi ya na-adịgide ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.

who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, who keeps truth forever,

7 Ọ na-ekpe ikpe ziri ezi nye ndị a na-akpagbu na-enyekwa ndị agụụ na-agụ nri. Onyenwe anyị na-eme ka ndị nọ nʼụlọ mkpọrọ nwere onwe ha,

who executes justice for the oppressed, who gives food to the hungry. Jehovah releases the prisoners.

8 Onyenwe anyị na-emeghe anya ndị kpuru ìsì, Onyenwe anyị na-akwagide ndị niile dara mba, Onyenwe anyị hụrụ ndị ezi omume niile nʼanya.

Jehovah opens the eyes of the blind. Jehovah raises up those who are bowed down. Jehovah loves the righteous.

9 Onyenwe anyị na-echebe ndị ọbịa, na-elekọtakwa ndị na-enweghị nna na ndị di ha nwụrụ anwụ, ma ọ na-eme ka ihe ghara ịgara ndị ajọ omume nke ọma.

Jehovah preserves the sojourners. He upholds the fatherless and widow. But the way of the wicked he turns upside down.

10 Onyenwe anyị na-achị ruo ebighị ebi, Chineke gị, o Zayọn, site nʼọgbọ ruo nʼọgbọ. Toonu Onyenwe anyị.

Jehovah will reign forever, thy God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise ye Jehovah.
