Abụ Ọma 146
1 Toonu Onyenwe anyị. O mkpụrụobi m, too Onyenwe anyị.
Hallelujah. Praise, O my soul, the Lord.
2 Aga m eto Onyenwe anyị ogologo ndụ m niile; aga m abụ abụ otuto nye Chineke m mgbe m nọ na-adị ndụ.
I will praise the Lord throughout my life: I will sing praises unto 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 princes, 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.
When his spirit goeth forth, he returneth to his [native] earth: on that very day perish his thoughts.
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.
[But] happy is he who hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is on 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 hath made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that is therein; who keepeth truth 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 executeth justice for the oppressed: who giveth bread to the hungry: the Lord looseneth 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.
The Lord causeth the blind to see; the Lord raiseth up those who are bowed down; the Lord loveth 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.
The Lord guardeth the strangers; the fatherless and widow he helpeth up; but the way of the wicked he maketh crooked.
10 Onyenwe anyị na-achị ruo ebighị ebi, Chineke gị, o Zayọn, site nʼọgbọ ruo nʼọgbọ. Toonu Onyenwe anyị.
The Lord will reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Hallelujah.
