Abụ Ọma 146
1 Toonu Onyenwe anyị. O mkpụrụobi m, too Onyenwe anyị.
Let the Lord be praised. Give praise to the Lord, 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 have breath I will give praise to the Lord: I will make melody to my God while I have my being.
3 Atụkwasịla ụmụ eze obi gị, ndị bụ mmadụ efu na-apụghị ịzọpụta.
Put not your faith in rulers, or in the son of man, in whom there is no salvation.
4 Mgbe mmụọ ha pụrụ, ha na-alaghachi nʼaja; nʼụbọchị ahụ, atụmatụ ha na-aghọ ihe efu.
Man's breath goes out, he is turned back again to dust; in that day all his purposes come to an end.
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 the man who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord 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 things in them; who keeps faith for ever:
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 gives their rights to those who are crushed down; and gives food to those who are in need of it: the Lord makes the prisoners free;
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.
The Lord makes open the eyes of the blind; the Lord is the lifter up of those who are bent down; the Lord is a lover of the upright;
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.
The Lord takes care of those who are in a strange land; he gives help to the widow and to the child who has no father; but he sends destruction on the way of sinners.
10 Onyenwe anyị na-achị ruo ebighị ebi, Chineke gị, o Zayọn, site nʼọgbọ ruo nʼọgbọ. Toonu Onyenwe anyị.
The Lord will be King for ever; your God, O Zion, will be King through all generations. Praise be to the Lord.
